Debbie, I am so happy for your daughter Chris. I have been following your story and am so struck by your love for this child. I was a fat pre-teen ager, became a fat teenager, and lived my next 30 years as a fat adult before I found my solution. I grew up with a mother who had never had a weight problem and saw my weight as a poor reflection on her. When I was about Chris's age, I remember her telling me that I would always have friends but as long as I was fat no man would ever love me! Can you imagine thinking that.... much less saying that to a child. Anyway, it brings tears to my eyes to see how supportive you are of this child and that you would stop at nothing to get her the treatment she needs. What a wonderful future she has ahead of her! You have saved her from years of suffering and disease. I wish you both the most wonderful recovery and results on this journey. Safe journey, MGB 03 MAY 00 Safely on the other side!!!!

I lived that life, starting gaining weight at 8.1/2 yrs. old and it drove my Mom crazy, she just couldn't seem to handle that she had a fat child and never acted like it was concern over my health, I was called names by her and insulted more times than I can count and one of her favorite lines to me was " when I went shopping today I had planned on buying you something but when I saw all those pretty clothes for normal size girls it just made me sick so I didn't get you anything " , and I guess the most amazing thing is, I lost my Mom Feb. 27th 1999 and God knows I loved that woman more than life itself, but she helped destroy my self esteem and self confidence and she never ever acknowledged that she was ever cruel to me, But I guess maybe to her she wasn't. I harbor no resentment of my Mom I loved her warts and all as I know she loved me, But I sure would have loved someone to accept me and fight for me as Debbie has done for her daughter my life maybe would have turned out different as in having more courage to shoot for things instead of giving up so easy or not trying at all. Debbie I so admire and respect you for being the kind of parent you are and I do so know how you feel!!!!!!
