Liz's Irrationality, take two

So I've mentioned before that my head is absolutely filled with irrational-ness.

I'm a planner, a worrier, I'm high-anxiety, high-stress, high-ambition AND high-achieving. I just picked up my Summa Cum Laude graduation cords today, but you know what? I'm a month-and-a-half into my next big self improvement project: ME.

My entire college career has been about these cords. In the meantime, I've gained almost 40 pounds. I've struggled to explain to people how being "the fat girl" feels. Almost everyone brushes it off; they tell me "no one thinks that about you," that "you aren't that big," or my personal favorite, "you have so many other wonderful talents." I appreciate the sentiment, but it's not what other people think about me. It's what I think about me, and what I perceive others to be thinking about me. Remembering again, that I am incredibly irrational, self-critical and success-driven.

And here it is, if you've ever wondered what it feels like to be the fat girl, give this woman's blog a read: http://www.mopie.com/0309/15.html
