Shannon, you may have lipodoema but you are fucking beautiful. And don’t let anyone tell you differently. I’ve done the yo-yo dieting all my life. I’m fatter than I have ever been (even when I was pregnant) but now I just try to choose healthier options but don’t restrict my calories and I’m happier than I’ve ever been. It’s What you’re like on the inside that counts. I look into my full length mirror every morning and give myself a huge smile! Makes me feel good!
