Which one of us hasn't felt as if we've fallen short in front of others? And it's hard to find the confidence to overcome that, so thanks for sharing. I admire your honesty.

And I know what you mean -- it can be difficult to feel as though people see beyond your past (but don't forget, not one person in your father's church is perfect either :-) ).

I lost a significant amount of weight (like 35 lbs) about 4-5 years ago and every time I go home, I worry that they are going to notice that I've put 10 of it back on. The thing is, maybe people aren't thinking what we think they are. Maybe, in your case, they're thinking, "Wow, Sophia is studying X, that's awesome" or whatever. I mean, maybe they're not, but you never know, so try not to dwell on what you think others are thinking. It's hard. I know. I love the pb & sweet potato combo. I get nervous to go home too.

I feel you! I consider myself a pretty balanced person, but being around my family causes all those guilty, insecure feelings to arise. I think it's just one of those "environmental" things. Just remember that you should be proud of yourself - look to your accomplishments, your achievements, and hold you head up high. Those who love you are also proud of you - and remember that!
