I don't comment a lot on your weight/body issue posts because it's difficult for me to do so, as your friend. I know you have these constant thoughts and worries about the way you look and how you feel in your body, but because I am not plagued by those kinds of thoughts about myself as much as you seem to be about yourself, it's hard for me to understand what it is you see whenever you look in the mirror.

Truthfully, I hate seeing you so down on yourself. It makes me sad. Especially when it comes to your body/image because whenever I see a photo or video of you, I see a pretty, healthy young woman with the bluest eyes ever. And even if it takes you years to see what I see, Allison, I hope it happens for you because you really are beautiful just the way you are. ♥
