Little glitch last night.
i have parents who judge me, and i've decided that i'm going to live my life for me, and me only. i dont seek no ones approval...because we as ppl can never live up to other ppls standards.. you do what you need to do FOR YOU and tell everyone else to take a leap ..

love / weight
there are some men that are attracted to larger women, you have to ask yourself if its worth it in the end. I've learned in the end its all about ME..and the every ME out there. We aren't doing this for no one else but us and our health....Good luck to you!

2nd thoughts
thanks girls for all your feedback...(never thought of myself as tall...lol)...I apreciate the feedback so no post is long..i decided to not go through with it...this was my 2nd time..i honestly believe that through talking with ppl who love and care for me, and my doctor..that i did make the right decision...I am greek, we love food.. you can't tell me not to ever eat spanakopita or greek potatos..oh no no no..(LOL)..thank you for supporting me and all your feedback. I think i just need to go buy some clothes that fit me well, and feel better about myself internally, then maybe one day if it gets to that point i would reconsider (a thrid time?!?!)... Keep praying for me.. *hugs* Kat (greekkatgirl66@yahoo.com)

2nd thoughts
my b/f doesnt want me to go through with this. the price for the fee is so much (more than i can afford). i keep thinking i can do so much for $300.00 (its an enrollment fee they charge). im on the fence again. i dont know what to do..im on day 2 of liquids and so damn depressed its killing me. my daughter is crying because in 2 weeks she's turning 13 and she really doenst want me doing this and no matter how i explain it, she s sad....im 240 5'3..not HUGE..but enough to make me sick when i look in the mirror...i have no health issues..other than im fat....this decision is killing me. i dont know if im doing the right thing...
