A lot of overweight people I talk to feel ashamed of themselves for being heavy.

“How could I let myself get like this?” they ask.

I know the feelings of guilt and shame all too well. When I was 19, I ran off with a guy who abused me physically, emotionally, and verbally.

I was the daughter of a police officer and ordained ministers. I never heard my dad even use a disrespectful tone with my mom.

So how did I let myself end up with such an evil man?

At the time, after I finally left him, it was mortifying.

Over 20 years later, I think I finally understand. And maybe what I learned will help you.
