I always feel like a dick because I find it so difficult to accept compliments on here. It’s strange. When it’s from people that have met me, it’s a little easier.
But I think the hard part is in knowing that these people don’t see a certain side of you. The bits you really, really don’t like. The insecurity, the flaws, all the little cracks that make up who you are.
Everyone knows no one’s perfect. And that’s good. The people that appear perfect are so often boring and disappointing.
Next week is 3 years since I started losing weight. Friday I have a 3 year follow-up including a psychological evaluation. It’s always intimidating. The diagnoses of Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and ADHD always makes me fear that with each follow-up I’ll end up learning something about myself that I didn’t before. That there’s another thing the medical standard finds wrong with me.
But I know who I am. And I think I’m fine as I am.
