((((((((( Friends )))))))))))

I am sorry all of you are having problems with eating.

Rhap I do want to tell you I am fighting with the issue of hiding behind weight.

I was back down to almost my perfect weight one year ago. I had worked so hard. I live in a bad neighborhood and finally I was bothered one too many times on the parking lot. It scared me to death. Looking back, that night was when I went off my diet and was ravenous at all times. I also cut off my beautful long hair. It was down my back, and at the time I had no idea where this urge to cut it came from.

Now I know and I've got to get this extra weight off for health reasons if nothing else.

This is the very first time I have spoken of this. I was going to post and just didn't have the courage. I am used to being thin and attractive. My brace makes me have no figure. I just look like an unattractive lump. I just wanted to tell you I so understand.
