Hi Maven - no it wasn't him I was irritated with. He wasn't even home when I wrote that. He said he wasn't impressed because he sees it as a way of putting myself down and he doesn't want me to do that. But yes, the more I have thought about it, the more I see it as venting. That is exactly what I was doing. And I wasn't really putting myself down. I am fat - that is a fact and there is no hiding from it. My frustration at not losing the fat despite my efforts is what started me venting / doodling.

Sky, you know that saying "when hell freezes over ....". As I read your post I thought, oh yes, if only he had done that. If only. He has said that he 'doesn't mind' my size because he knows much of it is not my fault and that I am doing (trying) something about it, but on the other hand, he also acknowledged that if he didn't know and love me and saw me on the street, he would have looked the other way.

And now I am off topic - I will continue to doodle and just make very sure I do not do something as silly as give him a message on the back of my doodling!

Thanks for everyone's support.
