As a child, I was forced to starve due to my stepfather’s sexist and objectifying views of woman. He made fun of me because I was fat. He made me feel like I was no good, so I just kept putting on more and more weight to fill an emotional void I had. It served as a protection against people I didn’t like. My humor and loving nature would filter in any good people who would actually be interested in me. But I wasn’t happy. For years I was miserable, self-loathing, and downright awful to myself. When I was 23, my mom showed me OCC and that was it. I made my change then and there. Immediately, I started watching pounds slip right off. I’m 150 lbs now and I couldn’t be happier. I was early 400 lbs at my highest. And I’m just so glad to feel free once again.

From hate to love
My mother told me about it. It was what felt like the greatest and only option.
