Re: You look like a totally different person...FRAN

[Guest guest]

Fran,

Thank you for posting the most wonderful, wise and reassuring message

ever. What ever you said it worked because I feel 100% better now.

Everything you said hit the spot. Tonight I saw one of my best guy

friends and he looked at me and he said " You look different but you

look you " . I liked that comment, it settled well with me and I think I

am adjusting to the fact that I am now more balanced face wise but I

still look like me. Thank you so much for sharing your experience. It

really means a lot to me and I know that it took a lot for you to

share it with the group.

Thanks for being such a great support buddy:-)
