I followed Jane, from Sea of Shoes<\/strong>, on Twitter and Instagram until she posted the picture above and I commented, “Nothing wrong here.” Boom, she blocked me.<\/p>\n

I understand. No one wants any comments that imply one is less than fabulous. Especially Jane. So naturally she deletes comments that express worry about her weight.<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n

You know what, when I was 14, I used to only eat egg whites and grapefruit. Finally, circumstances forced me to eat more, and eventually I learned that it’s more fun to eat than to starve. Last night I ate a huge quantity of tortilla chips with hot avocado salsa, and I’m a better man for it, I believe.<\/p>\n

I think Jane has mentioned “health issues” and I hope she is okay. I have health issues my self. Seventeen of them, according to a print-out from my doctor, including depression, lumbago<\/a>, and marijuana use.<\/p>\n

I hope she is okay but I don’t think she is. And of course there is nothing I can do. People online discuss her life as though she’s a character in Grey Gardens<\/strong><\/a>, but only Jane and her family know the real girl. I watched an old video of her with her mom, and it was disturbing. It made me regret being mean to her, that time I said she had a fat face. What an awful thing to say. I was out of my mind at the time but that’s no excuse.<\/p>\n

I’m so sorry for that mean post. I’m not sorry for mocking her blog. It was so mockable that someone<\/em> had to do it. But I wish I could take back the mean personal insult.<\/p>\n

I hope her marriage will bring a new happy life and a chance to broaden her horizons. Here is Jane with her fiance Jeff.\u00a0 You can read about their engagement over on her blog.<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n

Vaya con Dios, Jane and Jeff!<\/p>\n
