This is the girl who spent most of her teens and frankly -until just a few years ago, worrying about being fat. This is the young woman who dreaded the bus ride home from school, because a gang of neighborhood boys followed her home yelling to her about how she was as fat as a…

Today’s post is a guest post, written by my good friend Lisa. I am trying to convince her to start a blog, because she inspires me every day. Here are Lisa’s words: “……….144 days; almost 5 months is how long I spent in the hospital at the age of ten. I was treated for Spinal…
