WHOA! Came in here in the paqst few days and have been reading some of these posts....Duffy was right, the ONE thing other then A TERRIFICC place to find support and others going through what we do is THAT YOU CAN VOICE ANY OPION HERE.....THE ONLY THING ANY OF US HAVE EVER ASKED is that you dont hurt intentionally someone else. We have to many other places where large folks can not voice there feelings or make astaement because of the fear that someone will make then feel LESS a person....AND I KNOW WE HAVE ALL BEEN THERE! Well did not come in to lecture BUT being able to speak ones mind and to be able to confide or protest or to just be THEMSELVES is a strong part of the DIET process....for me having lost the weight I know what it can be like....so keep on chatting AND NEVER NEVRE BE AFARID TO SPEAK YOUR MIND!...MATTIE
