a comment on losing oneself

This was a comment from a post on gaining weight after marriage and being heavier than her partner. Basically, she was not taking care of herself...and this comment speaks out to me for that reason.

This post was inspiring. The size of her dress was not the focus of the article nor do I think it was the weight gain either. It was her acknowledging that she had not been taking care of herself and how she felt about it. Its not easy to be honest to yourself about so many things. She's lucky. She has a loving husband, a great career (which needs a lil boost) and a life many would be envious of. Yet, she lost herself. She got complacent. She has everything and the "drive" dissipated.

I think seeing the dress sizes go up a little and the old knockout photo was a wake up call to find the woman she was and is. Good for her.
