I’m a very open person and never mind sharing more intimate details if I think they may be useful to someone else who finds themselves in my situation. Heaven knows the nights I’ve spent trawling Google looking for people I can relate to in terms of hairy chins, diet struggles, inability to draw straight lines with liquid eyeliners or hunting down moon-faced chicks who’ve scored themselves flattering hair cuts I could copy.
I don’t *know* any of these women of course, but they somehow make me feel less isolated, more supported… connected. I still write things on here that I probably wouldn’t tell my mother… which is stupid really ‘cos for all I know, she could be reading (hi Mum!).
I guess what I’m trying to say in my own wildly convoluted way is thank you for your kindness, encouragement and affirmation on Friday. I wrote the post about my weight really late on Thursday night and then cringed my way through Friday whilst having a ‘shouldn’t have posted that’ wobble.
So whilst words really aren’t enough.. they’re all I have and I want to use them to say a big thank you from the bottom of my heart.
That was such a brave post, that probably lots of people can identify with. I know I could. You’ve done an amazing job Charlotte. Well done to you x

It was a very brave post, and whilst your original post *just* failed to make me tear up, this one didn’t. Oopsy. We’re pre-mascara, so it’s OK
Well done on the weight loss, it’s probably THE hardest addiction to beat, as we can all live quite well without booze or drugs, but no one can live without food. x

Your previous post was just so honest and open, and it took lots of courage to write it. But that’s what we have come to expect from you, and why you have so many followers, and why your’s is one of the only ones I check 5 times a day!
Because not only do you show us pretty things, but we feel that we are all closer to you, like we really are your ‘friends’, because we get to really know you. Because you tell it how it is, and you aren’t afraid to share the good things and the bad…and so many people can relate to the hairy chin, fluffy hair, diet struggles and wonky eyeliner that you are more human, more real, and more loveable, than the blonde, tanned, thin, straight eyeliner chicks (not that I have anything against them!).
So thank you for sharing with us, because I am sure that post will be inspirational for many looking to say goodbye to obesity.

I think that was an amazing and brave post and well done for you for sharing it
I’ve adored your blog ever since I found that post about the hair removal treatment with your video, because for once, I’d discovered someone who I could relate to. I’m 16 years old and have PCOS and a hair chin and it really gets me down sometimes, how waxing or bleaching won’t help long term and it just makes my self confidence drop -a lot. In a way I look up to you because I haven’t got anyone to relate to when I get down about these things as no one else in my family has it, it just sometimes makes me feel better actually knowing I’m not alone. I know this isn’t what this post is about but still, I say thank you to you for sharing stuff like that because it’s inspirational and not a lot of people have the courage to do so. xxx

The reason I love your blog is your honesty and straight forward approach, because I get the feeling that you write as you would speak I feel like I know you, so glad that you had the courage to write what you did on Friday and that the response confirmed that it was the right thing to do. The blogging community on the whole is such a supportive place and I think its lovely to be able to share in someone’s joys and triumphs.

Charlotte, because you are brave and write about these things, people like me feel better about themselves.
Thanks to you (you, yes YOU!) I am finally getting my beard lasered and I am looking forward so much to not having to shave every morning and not ducking my chin or wincing when I hear my stubble rasp.
So thank you for being so honest. It’s what makes this blog special.
(And you’ve even got me considering that couch-to-2K thing. Eeek!)
