Dear Corinne,
I would just like to say that your blog is a buoy in a grey place. I won't say dark because I do have a lot of good in my life, but to read your blog and hear your struggles makes me feel a little less alone. I've been 'trying to lose weight' for roughly a year now. I put the quotes because truthly... I haven't tried. I rest upon the knowledge that (insert rationalizing internal monologue) I look fine, I mean I'm not obese right?, it could be so much worse, and I should meet someone who likes me as I am, right?? 
.....
And see even as I justify bingeing and not exercising I know I'm lying to myself. I have a few friends who understand, but not necessarily from the right perspective. 

Anyway, not to gush, but you are a incredibly inspiring person and make a 20 year old Texas girl feel a little less alone. I hope that this gives you some comfort that your blog is helping people. And to keep up the good work!

From a fan.

Dear you (I thought it would be nicer to let the person who sent this remain anonymous),

Thank you so much for your e-mail. I had kind of a rough summer, from the whole blog/weight loss/figuring my life out perspective. I almost stopped blogging because I felt like I had let weight loss take over my life. I knew my family was getting more and more anxious by reading my blog and I felt pressure to stop writing, not from them, but from myself. I felt it would be easier to just stop and start a new chapter. But I thought about it harder and I realized that I loved it. I love writing. I love taking pictures. I love working hard to make my life better. And by blogging, it allows more and more people to believe they can do the exact same and turn their life around.

So your email is like my little light at the end of the tunnel, a ray of hope that lets me know I am doing this for the right reasons and that there are people, who just like me, want to become the best they can be. Maybe your inspirational blog is Weight Loss and Corinne, but mine was One Twenty Five. I read it several times a day and went back to the beginning to re read all of her posts. She helped me in more ways then one, just by being honest about her struggles. So I'll keep being honest on here. For all of you reading me.

I wish you the best of luck in your journey and I guess we are doing this together, even from far away.

Love,

Corinne
