Dena, It will be terrific to meet you - only a month from now!
Donna - Even being a lot more "zaftig" than I'd prefer, I had better be self accepting. Why miss out on life because of a little plumpness?
Cyndi - you can do it. I've seen you at it full boar. The rewards are wonderful. A day at time - a meal at a time. My nutritionist says the time will pass anyway. Might as well be working on the goal.
