Guest guest Posted October 15, 2001 Report Share Posted October 15, 2001 Tara! Hi! What makes you think you would be the biggest person in a group of Obese folks? What makes you think the rest of them wouldn't totally understand the issues around being obese since they are obese, too? Even the folks I have met who have had the surgery are pretty accepting and supportive. Come in out of the rain, silly, and risk that your fellow e-mail listers just can't wait to give you a big ol' jiggly hug of acceptance and camaraderie. Remember, that fat issues often include a fear of intimacy-- and the fat acts as an insulator which keeps other folks at a distance. This is one issue you can face now instead of waiting for it to completely whap you upside the head 75 pounds from now. Over coming this is no harder than quitting smoking or getting on an airplane after 9/11, things lots of folks on this list are doing even as we speak. Live dangerously-- risk having some emotions WITH other folks.
