This is a great piece and an important topic. You don’t need to listen to the haters. I just got back from a raw vegan health retreat and I’m realizing how much if my fat is my karma and emotion I’m carrying around in my physical body, and yes, by looking at me you see the reflection of my self-confidence. I am now respecting myself more by trying to eat vegan which is a healthy choice for my type. Actually my blood tests were perfect, but I know I want to look like the person I am inside!
