I just finished reading your profile. I found it very interesting. You look really fantastic for such a short time. This should make you feel better. I am at my highest weight ever and waitng for approval for surgery.... my daughter tells me I am fluffy because I keep reading on here where people who weigh 50, 60 or more pounds than I do, are wearing smaller sizes than I am. (I weigh 248 and couldn't put on a size 22 jeans if my life depended on it. My first child was really long (23 in.), and although I only gained 5 pounds with him, he weighed 9lbs. 5 oz., and looked like a skinny old man. He built a condo apartment inside me while he was there. My daughter weighs the same as I do, but her waist and hips are 5 inches smaller than mine. Oh, and by the way, you have a very beautiful face. So the next time you start to get depressed, remember things are really always better than they could be! I wish you the greatest success, and good luck. Maybe some day, I will be on the losing side also.
