Yay YOU! I certainly appreciate your 'different-ness' - I'm rather a 'lone wolf'

myself. I can so identify with how you felt growing up - 'odd' one out and all

that. But I will share that that same 'odd-ness' is what got me to where I am

now - happily secure in a modest situation of my choosing. IE has become the

icing on my cake because it has helped me to further myself in life happiness

and allowing those others who chose to die dieting to do what they want. Life it

too precious to me for that.

BEST to you! Katcha

and different and kids my age didn't really get me, but sometimes adults

appreciated me. Trying to fit in is what got me into food obsession in the first

place!
