Icooke-uh, you're kinda ignorant. Must this be dumbed down for you to grasp? You'd have made more sense if you brayed like a fucking donkey & ate your keyboard.

Hi hun...I could have sworn I responded back to you...but thank you thank you. I do have a written version published in my poetry chapbook - so I don't post published work online since it's part of a book I sell. If you're interested in a copy - let me know!

[shrinerspark]

[himawari81]

This is really, really beautiful. You are strong and amazing. Thank you so much for posting.

[GymnastBrit3]

The strength you had for doing this is ADMIRABLE. I Love this video. I watched it like 5 times already. It's even on my favorites. I love people who do this. They don't know how many people they are impacting, including me that appreciate this. I find your video's motivating to my recovery. Thank you so much. :)

[Cavernchick]

Thank you for your kind words!!! Hope all is well for you! Best and many, many thanks!

[ohohcherri]

you are so inspiring, great job! so, i had posted a topic/suggestion for the RHN channel that never got answered and i was wondering if you might make a video on it? i wanted to know how you got rid of your scale and your obsession with it (if you did).. and how you've learned to accept yourself as a person rather than a number. what advice can you give me to throw mine out, or atleast not let it control me. i'm having a really hard time with it. please mak a vid! yours are the best :)

<3mari

[Cavernchick]

Hi hun! I'll do my best to put a video together addressing that. I'll let you know when it's up!

Best,

Caroline
