Amy and Pam-

Well, I could go on and on with this topic. It runs through my mind more

than once a day. I have often felt all of this skin wassome sort of

protection, like a big heavy fireman's coat. Protecting me from what? The

world. I would think it is much harder living like I do. Why would I want

to be protected from a " normal " body? I plan to seek out a head Dr.

afterwards, I know I will need it. I know we all have issues, can't wait to

figure mine out. lol

, you look absolutely wonderful.(I cannot get your new photos, just

looking at the old ones!) I too hope to have the same results. My dream is

to be a size 18.(now a 28) I have lost all memoryof what life used to be

like smaller. When I was smaller, I thought I was huge, and life could get

no worse. Well, life is great, my mobility is what sucks. Things like

seatbelts, restaurant tables, chairs, etc. These are the things I look most

forward to. The story about your tattoo is what I have had going through my

head too. I have one. And I told myself if I ever did another one, it would

have a true meaning behind it. I am into dragonflies. I think I have felt

like a dragonfly through this " fat " life. Not quite as beautiful as a

butterfly, because it takes a little more time to look at a dragonfly to find

its beauty. Thats me.

Boy, I was off down another road there for awhile... excuse me!

By the way, I confirmed my date to be May 19th. Less than two weeks. No

sleep til then! lol

Keep me in your prayers, much needed!
