Look at that pic, shit I was so skinny and unwrinkled...... I wish I had known that then. I'm not saying it only goes downhill from here, what I have now that I didn't have then is a shitload of self-confidence. But you are probably feeling far worse about your weight gain that it really is, especially with your other health problems and your change in your cohabiting arrangements. You are gorgeous, and if you do have an extra 50 pounds and you're not a liar, you're hiding it damn well.
