I have almost the same conversation with my therapist week after week (men hate fat women). He does point out my black and white thinking (I do have distorted thinking patterns) and of course I challenge him.

It's a vicious cycle that won't be healed until I re-think my patterns.

I often, leave feeling like a fool! "Gee, did I really say that". But, I've been assured by my therapist that I can say anything, no filter needed.

Which is good, because I tend to be open and share everything, I mean everything!

You are not alone Melody Bells! Hugs to you!
