Re: It was a looong weekend!

[Guest guest]

Honey Child,

Let me tell you. People, friends, family and even enemies are so afraid

of us to change. Why... cause then they know they will no longer be able

to control us and use like they did before.

I have heard some really strange reasons from people why I should not

have the surgery. Pooh on them. I am finished living my life for these

people. I have given enough and it's time for me.

If they don't like me after I get rid of the weight then to bad for them

and I mean it.

This life stinks enough as it is and it is way to short. I am going to

finish it out without having to buy my clothes in the Big and Tall man

section!

Leisa,

I can totally relate to what you are going through. I am 36 years old and

could not stop the tears at my father's table when he refused to support me.

I have to do what I have to do for me, though.

God bless you,
