In conversation via email, Amber tells me: “They had stolen photos of me, including one of the hardest photos I’ve ever taken of myself, a full-on belly shot that I had taken to go along with a post I made years ago about how my belly had been the hardest part of me to learn how to love. The folks from the site Photoshopped my bikini top over my lumpy stomach, which they likened to ‘extra boobs.’ I couldn’t help myself but spend the next hour reading every single one of the 200 comments. People said things like, ‘I wish it was legal to shoot fat people on sight,’ guessed how much of my income I must spend on food, laughed about how I’m ‘so disgusting but at least I’ll be dead soon.’ I have an extremely high self-esteem. But by the end of it, I was nauseated and suicidal. I felt worthless.”    If she really was comfortable and "loved herself" then she wouldn't have been so easily undone by people making fun of her... because.....   You can only burn someone up with insults that they know are true - if you mock someone for something completely out of left field that doesn't make any sense, or just make something up whole cloth, it won't really get to them so much that it makes them suicidal. She must know she's a hamhock, and truly be as disgusted by it as everyone else, otherwise it wouldn't have been effective to bring it up.
