SecretTweet: Weight Edition
I’m addicted to SecretTweet, the Twitter version of Post Secret, where people submit their secrets and they’re posted anonymously. Often there are weight-related ones that come up, and I think of you guys. So I thought I would collect a few here.
Some of them are hopeful:
My boyfriend weighs three times what I do, but I think he’s sexier than anyone I’ve ever dated.
Some make you want to know more:
I’m only happy when I feel full.
A lot of them are depressing:
The thought that I’ll never be skinny makes me really sad.
Some make you want to reach through the screen and shake the person on the other end:
i cant bear to tell my sister that she could look amazing if she lost a few pounds.
Or give them a hug:
he used to wait until i was naked to talk about how fat i am. i can’t stop thinking about it when i look down – it’s been two years.
Or a talking-to:
I’m about to get bariatric surgery, but it won’t change anything. Inside I’ll still be the fat woman my husb no longer wants sex with.
Or a high-five:
I love when skinny girls with too much make-up glare at me with my boyfriend. That’s right – fat girl got the hottie!!
But I love the little glimpse into what other people are thinking, the things people think but don’t say.

I used to be addicted to the LiveJournal version of Post Secret because you could actually leave comments there. It was always a huge dramafest and eventually I decided to stop reading it altogether for the sake of my mental health. I still can’t stand being unable to reply to the original Post Secret, so I avoid that, too. >.<
Yeah, I absolutely agree with the things those secrets make you want to do.
I had no idea that SecretTweet or Post Secret existed….I just might be living in a cave. I have got to check these both out! Thanks for the head up!
It’s me again. I checked out SecretTweet and some of the posts made me laugh, some made me want to cry and some made me cringe. Although it’s extremely interesting and I can see myself becoming addicted, I don’t think that I can look again because I’m afraid that I am going to read a confession that will haunt me for life.
I’ve posted a few secrets there. Sort of like going to confessional without being Catholic! Hahaha…
And some that make me laugh like an idiot.
“17553 I am letting out the worst farts this morning, and I didn’t even drink last night. Jesus, I think my dog would choke on these.”
I think having a place to write whats on your mind and nobody really caring who you can help a lot of people make them realize “hey, i’m not the only one who feels this way”.
I’ve been reading PostSecret too but I haven’t heard of TweetSecret ’til now. It’s a good thing to know you’re not alone and there are other people going through the same thing.
