I make no excuses for my problem - to me, everyone has their cross in life to bear and this one is mine. I am smart, compassionate and love people - even those who are so shallow that they cannot see beyond a person's appearance. We are all God's children and He knows how I have struggled with this problem the way he knows beautiful people struggle with their own demons.
So, if you are "offended" by overweight people, take another look at them - maybe you will find a beautiful soul you would have never known.
