Dear Missy,

Boy in a cute way did you hit the nail on the head

for anyone having to deal with obesity. I could't

have sumed it up better. MY top 4 Reality checks

were 6, 1, 4, and 8. In that order. I have missed

out on so much fun because of #6 it breaks my

heart. Thx for the post..........I pray you

get your good news today from your Ins.
