I love to travel. I enjoy photogrpahy, reading, writing, cooking / baking, cake decorating, psychology, philosophy, history, spending time with my dogs, going for a scenic drive. I'd love to live by the sea.

What Raine Means
You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something.
You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense.
You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun.
You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection.
You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive.
You have the classic "Type A" personality.
You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing.
You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long.
You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start.
You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people.
You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts.
You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals.
You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone.
You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together.
At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together.
About me: A morbidly obese lady. Exploring the good, the bad and the ugly of living in this world as a fat person.
I've struggled with my weight all my life. Like most people with weight problems my story is far more complicated than the naive view so often expressed in our culture, that overweight ppl eat too much, exercise to litte and are just lazy and lacking in self discipline. I have struggled with disordered eating behaviour in just about all it's forms and I have quite a few health problems and disabilities. As much as I disapprove of the anti-fat culture and recent obesity epidemic hysteria- so much of which is myth scientifically unsupported - and wish we all could accept people as unique and beauitful individuals regardless of appearance or ability, I'm far from accepting of my body and unable to truly practice what I preach. A contradiction and double standard I hate having, but one whose origins I need to explore and understand more, to work on resolving or making peace with. That's what I'm here to try to do.
I'd like to find a circle of friends. Kind, compassionate, intelligent people. Those who do, or want to, believe that beauty really is in the eye of the beholder, and it's what's inside that counts.

I am sorry to hear dear friend that your are ashamed of your body and embarrassed. I hope you feel better soon.
For what it is worth, I do not feel you should ever be ashamed of your body. Love it, embrace it and accept who you are. I know easier said than done. After you have done that, you will find it is a lot easier to make the changes you desire.
