Amy has totally lost it.

June 27, 2011 By Marta Darby 3 Comments

My daughter, Amy Kikita has been working hard these past few months to lose weight. She has to date lost 30 pounds and the scale is still moving to the left every day.

Amy after

I admire the courage it has taken her to face her own fears and presuppositions about what this will mean to her and her life.

Tiki

Today on the Tiki Tiki, she shares her essay titled "The Fat Friend."

Please read. In fact, you should totally go hang out at the Tiki Tiki all week and enjoy this wonderful series on Body Image.

Way to go, Mimi!
