The Weight of Valuing Myself

If you would have asked me what was wrong in my life, during the first 29 years of my life, I would have said, "I am fat, and I need to lose weight."
I would not have mentioned that my mother had a nervous breakdown when I was a child, ripped up my favorite Raggedy Anne doll, and that my father punched holes through the wall and covered up the eyesore with a "Home Sweet Home" sign after coming home drunk.
