RE: The Freewrite House Literary Talent Award - Spanish/English - April Reminder
Thank you for writing this. There is so much in it I never thought of before. uch as how it is traumatic to have become so different from what you were before. That others see you as an object, not a mind, when you are thinner. That you can't recognize yourself as a thin person until you can no longer recognize yourself in a photo of yourself as a fat person. There's much more than just these things in your essay. It's GREAT.
Aw! Thank you very much, @owasco. I was so lucky to be warned about this by others before it happened to me. Most of the time, people have no idea this trauma is coming and it is even worse. Everyone says, "Hey, you are thin! You must be so happy now." Meanwhile you want to go into the fetal position and die.
