Hollie, take it from a person who's been there and done that. Being high when your young is great, but it only gets worse. The older you get the need becomes greater. Then there will be a time when you spend money you don't have to have it. Then if you get the rug jerked out from under you....oh shit! Take it from me, Don't waste anymore of your youth on drugs, it really isn't worth it. Life is MUCH better without that hang-up. It only took 20 years for me....25 for my husband....we both say if we knew what we know now, then we would have quit alot sooner. By the way, your doing GREAT!:cursing:

I want to be able to walk without being winded. I want to buy cute clothes, unstead of drapes. I want to be the person I am on the inside, reflected on the outside:rolleyes:

Well I was hoping this process would go quickly and lo and behold it has. I went to a evaluation 3/11/08, so that's not bad. Of course I'm self-pay, when I think of all the time I wasted waiting on Insurance to pay, it makes me mad at my self:mad:. I should have done this 2 years ago. I could be 75 or 100 pounds lighter by now. No sense in dwelling on the obvious. The important thing is "I'm getting it done". I am so looking forward to all the little things, crossing my legs, fitting into a booth, tying my shoes without having to step on something. I've wasted so many years of my life under all this fat. I am so looking forward to the last half of my life happy and healthly!:thumbup:
