Bob Jones University told rape victims to repent and look for ‘root sin’ that caused their attack

42. Oh, I'm still fat.

But I'm less fat.

I have other co-workers who reacted to his wheedling and nagging differently than I did. He practically dragged me out there/guilt tripped me into it over all sorts of protests like 'my knees won't take it', etc.

He got me going though, and the improvement is dramatic. I still have a long way to go, but already the difference is night and day. I can tie my shoes without holding my breath, for instance.

His motivational effect on some others was not... super stellar. I think that's what you're getting at, if I understand.



I did have feelings when others pointed it out, but honestly, I couldn't hear them over the sound of my own self-loathing. Nothing spoke louder than the picture of me at my best friend's wedding, stuffed into that tux. Easily two of any of the other wedding party members. I still kind of hate myself for it.

I identify a great deal with a lot of the self-loathing illustrated herein:
