What\u2019s your #story?\u00a0 Your \u201cI\u2019m Fat\u201d story?\u00a0 Your \u201cI just can\u2019t lose it\u201d story?<\/p>\n

My story starts when I was born–born fat.\u00a0 I was the only baby in the hospital nursery to gain weight.\u00a0 Babies generally speaking lose their first week on the planet, but not me!\u00a0 An ominous sign.\u00a0 And so goes my story.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s your story?\u00a0 How does your story define you? Is your story true? Are you sure it\u2019s true?<\/p>\n

Would you like to edit your story or maybe even change it\u2026entirely?\u00a0 Hmmm\u2026well, it\u2019s worth exploring, let me tell you!<\/p>\n

Here, 10 #What\u2019sYourStory<\/b> quotes that Our Lady of Weight Loss<\/a> spent hours n\u2019 hours personally gathering just for you so that you would stop & think about your story.\u00a0 ( For real! You should have seen her\u00a0 researching stories; OMG, she was so into it!\u00a0 And, if you don’t mind me saying, she did a most excellent, awesome job of it!)<\/i><\/p>\n

Our Lady of Weight Loss<\/a> suggests that you write your story on a piece of paper (old school style–pen to page, scratching sounds), and then\u2014maybe revise it?<\/p>\n

#OneWord Thursday:\u00a0 What\u2019s Your Fat #Story?<\/b><\/p>\n

Stories are for joining the past to the future. ~ Tim O\u2019Brien<\/p>\n

…But the truth is that no person ever understands another, from beginning to end of life, there is no truth that can be known, only the story we imagine to be true, the story they really believe to be true about themselves; and all of them lies. ~ Orson Scott Card<\/p>\n

So I found myself telling my own stories. It was strange: as I did it I realized how much we get shaped by our stories.\u00a0 It’s like the stories of our lives make us the people we are.\u00a0 If someone had no stories, they wouldn’t be human, wouldn’t exist. And, if my stories had been different, I wouldn’t be the person I am. ~ John Marsden<\/p>\n

All stories are true. But some of them never happened. ~ James A. Owen<\/p>\n

It’s like everyone tells a story about themselves inside their own head. Always. All the time. That story makes you what you are. We build ourselves out of that story. ~ Patrick Rothfuss<\/p>\n

We’re all made of stories. When they finally put us underground, the stories are what will go on. Not forever, perhaps, but for a time. It’s a kind of immortality, I suppose, bounded by limits, it’s true, but then so is everything. ~ Charles de Lint<\/p>\n

There are people.\u00a0 There are stories.\u00a0 The people think they shape the stories, but the reverse if often closer to the truth. ~ Alan Moore<\/p>\n

Stories are a different kind of true. ~ Emma Donoghue<\/p>\n

The stars we are given. The constellations we make. That is to say, stars exist in the cosmos, but constellations are the imaginary lines we draw between them, the readings we give the sky, the stories we tell. ~ Rebecca Solnit<\/p>\n

But there’s a story behind everything. How a picture got on a wall. How a scar got on your face. Sometimes the stories are simple, and sometimes they are hard and heartbreaking. But behind all your stories is always your mother’s story, because hers is where yours begin. ~ Mitch Albon<\/p>\n
