Day 2 (mom)

Hi Sweetie,
I think it's very very brave of you to post your fears packet where I can read it. 
Of course you want to feel beautiful and sexy. A girl your age as a right to feel beautiful and sexy! Let me tell you a little secret that I've learned (painfully, over and over again) through the years. When you are older and you look back at photos of yourself from this age, you are going to think, "My God! I was gorgeous!" 
Really.
Really. 
Here's another little secret. I, too, want to feel beautiful and sexy. (Ewwwwwwwww.)
Your fears are very very familiar to me. I have, at one point or another, felt all of them. Most people have. Some of these fears I no longer have; I have found love (and I wasn't skinny when I did) and I'm not afraid of losing it because of my weight. I'm afraid that as a married woman, some of my inner feelings and fears aren't really appropriate to share with you and so I doubt I can be as open as you are being (Shout out to all the married ladies who know exactly what I mean).
But I can be completely open and honest about my food journal.
It's 9 am.
Four squirts of goat's milk straight from the teat (Ewwwwwwwwww.)
A quad shot of espresso with a tablespoon or so of half and half
a slice of whole wheat bread with herbed chevre
a handful of fresh blueberries
check back in later.
