At the age of 50, i did "celebrity fit club" and i had to get on a scale and be weighed in front of everyone. i felt like i was naked and for the first time, there was nowhere to hide. i felt like i could finally be myself. it was really cathartic, and i realized i could share my mistakes. i could tell my story and not be ashamed, and show others with these same problems that they aren't alone.

He thought about the story his daughter was living and the role she was playing inside that story. he realized he hadn't provided a better role for his daughter. he hadn't mapped out a story for his family. and so his daughter had chosen another story, a story in which she was wanted, even if she was only being used. in the absence of a family story, she'd chosen a story in which there was risk and adventure, rebellion and independence.
