Rape is not about what you look like. It's about violence and power. Elderly women are raped. If you are concerned about your vulnerability then make yourself strong, physically and mentally.

Very true. I never made the connection between my weight gain and past events until it was talked about within the Glow Approach workbook. It was a subconscious shield to deflect potential interested men; just didn't want attention. When it did happen regardless, I was nervous, and filled with anxiety. Flashbacks, intense fear....My husband and I met originally at our old job, but got to know each thru playing video games together/talking on the phone. At first, we had many short , brief in person meets until our first date.

It’s a control thing for a lot of survivors. I’m one as well. You’re not in control of what happened so this is a form of taking back control. It’s a stepping stone until you start healing. Thank you for your vulnerability. It’s not weird, and you’re not alone. But it’s part of the healing process 🥰♥️ if you’re not already connected to a specialized counselor for victims of violent times, I really encourage you to find one you’re comfortable with. ♥️

wow thanks for sharing.... strength to you.... sounds crazy but maybe add Brazilian Jujitsu that way you get a great workout and you become a badass. My daughter was strangely at the same place I spent 2 years training her in martial arts and she thanked me the other day said she feels so much more confident and was not scared to hide her looks anymore so I can relate.

I had this very moment. I did exactly what you did. Part of my acceptance of weight gain was a survival tactic. Let the panic feeling in as best as you can to process. Even if you can not do it all at once. The wound is trying to heal.

annamommy- thanks for sharing! yes I do have a therapist. Therapy has opened a lot of doors to understanding. I'm doing EMDR to heal past trauma! I'm sorry you went thru something too. It's a tough road to traverse!

waynearendse, crazy part is, after I was expelled from high school, for carrying a knife after the first time. I fell in love with weightlifting and boxing. Then I discovered MMA... trained for about a year, before the coach went back to Chicago. 2nd time, he was an army guy and knew how to counter me. My training almost helped.
