Guest guest Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 Reah - oh sweetie. YOU BELONG! I consider everyone here my friends - whether I have met them or not! That means you too. Okay? You are not in this alone. Jodi wrote you such a beautiful post - I guess I missed all that?? (probably dealing with my children <grin>) Anyway, I agree with Jodi - you feel free to vent, ask questions or whatever - WHENEVER! Hugs to you. - H > > > Reah, > > I just read your post in response to my original one > > about how we can > > get bogged down sometimes.

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 Reah, I'm late here on this too. You belong just as much as anyone. Like I said in my other post was diagnosed RSS and then I was told no. I felt that I didn't belong but realized that I started friendships and caring so much for everyone and their families and I have some of the same problems with with eating, gaining and growth. I have only met a few of the people here on the site. You sound like such a sweet and caring person and a wonderful mom.
