"Self Dialogue" It has been a journey for me to learn to alter how I speak to myself. Often loathing what I see in the mirror, but loving every "imperfection" on others. I am about 60% successful at this point in being kinder to myself. When you look in the mirror ... treat yourself the way you treat others, whenever possible. BTW ... I am clueless about headphones and current colors. 1986 was a long time ago ... lol Love to All

This is outstanding work Tracy, beautifully designed and colored! As for your comments about yourself, just keep in mind the song from a few years ago , “Baby got back” by Sir-mix-a-lot. He definitely wasn’t singing about some girl coming home from vacation! Beauty comes in all shapes and sizes!

Your artwork is always amazing but I truly think of it as a bonus to reading what you write! Always insightful, always spot on, always honest. I too have had to learn to retrain my thought processes regarding self dialogue. I wish that I appreciated my body when I was younger and wish I was as fat now as I thought I was back then

Hello my lovely friend. I love your artwork. I look in the mirror with disgust most times. Getting old is not for sissies, but I think the younger people have it even harder because they have so many stars and influencers out there in the media. It’s a tough world and I just keep going, trying to be a nice human. I love the song by the way 🎼😞🥵

@The Real Fish 🇺🇸 🇮🇹 when I was 37, I weighed 400 lbs. A long story as to how I got there. In my 40's I lost a lot of weight on my own, had a massive tummy tuck done then was back up to 315lbs by age 49. I had gastric sleeve surgery. I got down to 208lbs and was told I was too gaunt looking. Once my body got used to the new sleeve body ... it started piling on the weight. Gastric surgery does not change your genetic response to food. In March 2021, I had gotten back to 275.

@The Real Fish 🇺🇸 🇮🇹 A series of events transpired which made me finally realize my genetics. I realized I wasn't a bad person like I had been told all my life. My parents and everyone else condemned me daily for being a bigger then fatter then fat person. Horrid things said to me daily, especially from those who were supposed to love me unconditionally. I was blamed for everything, called out by everyone, even total strangers. Abused by boyfriends and reminded by media and everyday

@The Real Fish 🇺🇸 🇮🇹 objects which reminded me my size was "wrong." My being made aware of my paternal great grandmother (another long story about my father being given to an orphanage because his mother wasn't married) I suddenly saw my genetics. I started loving my self instead of punishing myself. It has been a slow journey to lose 45lbs and I have about 20 more to go. I have totally changed my relationship with food, but I know it is a daily battle. It isn't like TV ... when people

@The Real Fish 🇺🇸 🇮🇹 lose a vast amount of weight, they don't become toned, no matter how much exercise they do. So there are constant reminders and then the mental aspect is I still feel like I weigh 400 lbs ... I still feel that's how others see me as well. A constant battle to change the internal dialogue. That's my story ... very shortened version. It is why I so understand being judged as a human being, simply based on appearance.
