My brother and I live almost five hours apart, so when one of us needs a hug, we text each other and then go get one of the kids and substitute them for each other, lol. One thing that we try to do is make the hug last for at least 20 seconds. It makes a HUGE difference. Getting a teenager to stand there for 20 seconds though....

No great advice but I think it's awesome that you are sharing your weight to diminish your own shame and stigma.

The thing is most people don't notice if I gain 10 or even 20 pounds (which I did last year). <br /><br />I took charge of my weight gain, just like you have, and I owned it.

I needed to see how healthy (good) you look to appreciate how I look. I too am about the same weight as you and I often visualize myself so much different.
