I just watched “Embrace ” on Netflix and absolutely loved it! In my whole life I’ve put my body down, and hated certain bits and parts of it. I’d spent hours in the gym to achieve the perfect body. Then 4 years ago, my hips got so inflamed that couldn’t hardly walk. The doctors told me I had bursitis in both hips which has never gone away. 4 years later and with chronic hip pain, my body is not what it used to be. I have HATED my body and tried starving myself to maintain my “ideal ” look. I’ve put myself down every day. Considered surgery, ect ect. With all my ailments I’m learning now to accept what I look like and still trying to exercise as much as my body will allow me to do. My body will never look like it used to, but just watching your documentary today was like a light bulb went off in my head!!! Thank you for letting us “see” who you are, and in turn helping me to love and embrace who I am today! I’m strong, kind, and loving!
Yours sincerely,
Helle
