An Annoying Question People Ask Us Skinny Folks
***update Sept 1, 2021. I’ve wanted to dig deep into sharing about body image from the skinny perspective for some years. I start and stop. But after having a stroke on April 17, 2021, so much was put into perspective for me. One being my purpose. The other being that I gotta get over MY fear and allow God to use me to share my experiences and story to help others who may be struggling in areas of their life. So here I am…doing what I do.

Growing Up Skinny Isn’t Sunshine And Roses As Many Assume
Most people think of country folks eating lots of meat and potatoes for most meals. That is true to a degree. My family served bacon, eggs, gravy, and biscuits for breakfast. I had regular lunches as a child. You know the norm…peanut butter and jelly, ham sandwiches, the occasional fast food joint.
