Does that describe you? If so, I've written a post with you in mind, and on my heart. Here's an excerpt.
I've been overweight and I've been the ideal weight, and I know the frustration and discouragement and agony that attends the former. But do not despair. There is hope. The overweight believer has just as much reason to hope for marriage as does the physically ideal one. Why? Because God is able. And marriage is a gift from him; not a reward for those who manage to fit the current ideal of beauty.
When you're overweight, it's easy to think everyone's always looking down on you. But there is more to the story. To read the rest of my post, visit the Boundless Line.
"marriage is not a reward for those who manage to fit the current ideal of beauty." You've blessed me today Candice. Thanks.

Some people said that your blog was "soft" on the Boundless blogsite, but I don't think that it was soft at all. I think that it was balanced with righteousness and love. I'm always encouraged by you, Candice. You write some of the most balanced Christian articles I have ever read. You know the Word and present it with the love of the Savior's heart...and it always inevitably makes me want to embrace Jesus more and the life He has for me more. Thank you : )
