First let me say that the rocket/bacon dish looks delicious and I'm going to give it a try.

Ali, I struggle with those feelings, too.

I was a chubby kid (teased a lot b/c I grew up in the Summer Of Olga Korbut and every girl in the neighborhood was flipping and twirling and spinning in the air while I remained very, very earthbound and un-athletic)

I grew tall and willowy and stayed that way till baby #1. I gained 90 lbs. but it came off fairly easily as I was in my mid-20's. Lost 90 lbs and then some. Right away, I got pregnant again. The weight came off more slowly - it was stubborn.

Then the divorce number two sent me into a decades long tumble down the rabbit hole. I got worse and worse in every way.

Working third shift, single motherhood, alll the excuses.

Then cancer, chemo, prednisone and menopause!!

ack!

I'm bigger than ever but I AM GOING TO CHANGE IT NOW.

I want to feel better b/c, honestly, I've tried to die via inertia and it's just not working.

We're getting better.
