Scars on My Heart

For my entire life, my weight and looks have been a hot topic of conversation with my family. I’ve never felt perfect, never felt like I was enough or even worthy of love. That all changed when I met my husband, Scott. I finally had someone that saw me for who I was, not a number on a scale.

Or so I thought. But then my husband left me for someone more beautiful, someone skinnier. It broke me.

Newly divorced and ready to find myself, I venture out into my single life.

And everything was fine. Until, I met Dr. Nathaniel Bennett . Of course I was attracted to him, but he would never see anything in me. I was the big girl. I had flaws. Nothing could ever happen between us.

I would never be pretty enough, skinny enough, to love.
