Jaci Sweetie... Feel free to unload on us ANYTIME! That is what we are here for, Chickie. Not every day of this wild ride is going to be sunshine, you know? Although I post from time to time, I do not get too involved in the board. However, there are certain personalites here that I am just wildly in love with. One of them is yours! You have an amazing spirit, girl...it is so refreshing. You know what? I would suggest you do seek out people from HS. I am a million years older than you and have JUST reconnected with best friend from HS. I would have loved to be a size 8 when I did that...but, ultimately, it just did not matter. Do not feel like you need to even THINK of the labels you had in HS...they are a thing of the past. And I would suggest that you *do* seek therapy. Although I failed miserably at it, I would still recommend it to anyone who had this surgery (my therapist and I never even got around to discussing the surgery...after five months!). So many life changes so quickly...it is good to have a sounding board! Anyhow...I am not sure when you posted this because I am always a few days behind lately... Knowing you, you are probably bright and shiny again! But please know that it is always okay to show the other side. We love ALL of you! Have a blessed day! Jersey

Hi Jersey. Its a bit cloudy, but trying to let the sun in! Thanks for the insight

Jaci sweetie, How good it must feel to get it all out. Now put it away and I say SCREW 'EM! You're in college now and have a chance to meet some good people who will appreciate YOU You have alot to offer. You are smart, have a great personality, a wonderful sense of humor and dare I say it are a very pretty young woman You just have to start believing in yourself a bit more and put yourself out there. The friends, girls and boys will come. In the meantime, have you thought about talking to someone to help get the rest of those monkeys off your back. I can't tell you how freeing therepy can be. You have alot of issues that keep making you take steps backward. Take it from a "Former Fat Kid", do something good for yourself. Look into counseling/therepy. I'm sending you love and hugs Ronna

Wow, no one has ever told me I have issues lol. Makes sense! I'm gonna do some research! Thanks Ronna

Great post, Jaci. I don't know what your experience will be--but I'll share mine: for me, high school was o.k., but college was where I really had FUN, made friends and found myself. So,my 2 cents is "look forward"-----! Cathy
