I know what you are going through .....please candor, please take that bit between your teeth and meet your friend .... i hurt with you because i know how you feel .... there is more of you to love, just like i tell my hubby ..... there was a time when i didn't undress in front of him, but i am so much happier now i have a bit of confidence, it took a lot for me,itreally did, sound silly huh? but now and only over the last few weeks, something changed inside of me and i embrace myself .... not that i think i'm super attractive, far far from it ... but i am happier in myelf because i've accepted ME after all these years... i have never been happier,and my hubby is too because the problem was in my head .... he sees me as the Kerry he always knw and loved even though i piled on weight through my depression and prolems. Candor, it's hard, i know it is, but please give you and your friend the benefit of the doubt and have a lovely time, pm me, vent to me, anything ... i just want you to feel that freedom again so much. your friend will love you just the same.... why shouldn't she? you are the same person. i know it's easy for me to say all this, but i DO know how you feel, it's liketalking to me not so long ago.

good luck sweetie, i don't want you to be so unhappy about this, hugs, sincerely Jinny xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
