"the skinny Danielle"

My dream is for someone to refer to me as the "skinny Danielle". You may wonder why and I will tell you. The facts are simple: the "skinny Danielle" would be better. She would be more loved. She would be more attractive. She would be more accepted. She would be more involved. She would be a better wife, lover,mom, friend. She would turn more heads. Her husband wouldn't have to tell her over and over how much he is in love with her...she would just know. It wouldn't take her 2 hours and crying in front of the mirror to get ready. She could wear anything and look great. She would be content. She would be happy.

The truth is that none of that is the truth. All of that is my perception.

I am ready to be healthy, inside and out. I know it sounds corny, but I am ready for a change. In all my "weight-loss" efforts I have never tried to change the way I feel about myself mentally also. I am starting now.
