Good way with words. But don't beat yourself up.

You become what you imagine you are. If you keep your eye on that target everything else will fall into place. What would a superhero be doing right now. Everyone could be a superhero if they wanted it bad enough. Remember you are not what happened to you and you are not what others think of you, you are who you choose and really really choose to be.
If I really really choose to be skinny I would be, I must not want it bad enough.
Dont be a prisoner to your own thoughts, work out the ugly in your writings, but find the solution as if your life depends on it.
You seem passionate enough to do that.

Anger at self and at others is a poison...luckily, writing is a great purge and you are doing a great job of lancing that pain. Of course you are not perfect for no one else...the one ever claimed to be perfect was crucified...so it's not even a very good goal. Write on, write on....and I'm sure you are using your experiences to take on the very difficult job of parenting in a positive way - that makes you a hero in the only eyes that matter.

It is impossible to be perfect, but commendable that you have tried.
