Tracy, my dear, sweet Tracy...  I just hope you know how important your friendship is to me.  You and all the wonderful people I've met on this crazy ride, have been such a pleasant surprise, and a MAJOR BLESSING to my life! 

The things we share?     ...  I'm just sayin'.... 

It's amazing - to think that when we first met, you thought I was a granny and I thought you had to be a stuck up biotch... 

      Just goes to show ya... I sure snowed 'em on the psych test!!!

Yup - you're ANOTHER one of MY inspirations, Sandie!  One of those "I can't believe she ever needed WLS" people -

You are always in my prayers, hon...  For your PS to be approved so you can ENJOY your new small self!!!

You have rocked YOUR tool as well, my tiny little friend! 

And I hope you don't mind, but I just have to say it.  Connie has the tush of a teenager!!!

Darla,
Where do I begin? Since I first joined the MN board, I knew you would be one of my role models. And you are, I have enjoyed watching you 'morf' into the person you are today. You are gorgeous person both inside and out!!! I love your 'zest' for life and it is contagious. Your humor and sincerity and honesty is admired. Congrats on the WOW moment! they feel so good, I get the nervous about being infront of people you have never meant. I get that alot here and before WLS I sweated bullets if I had to meet someone face to face! But now I look forward to meeting people face to face.... go figure!!
Love you Darla,
CarolN

And YOU have just demonstrated WHY we have such a bond here - WE ALL GET IT!!!  We've all felt some measure of that fear or anxiety over presenting our (formerly) ginormous selves to those who DON'T understand what it's like to be obese.  So even tho I feel like a major blow-hard for responding to everyone who has replied to my original post, I can't help it. 

YOU get what I felt.  Everyone here has, or WILL, share a similar moment somewhere along this journey, and this is the place to share it without getting that "deer-in-the-headlights"   look from people who haven't lived it!

I'm feeling... what is it?  Farklempt???

Darla- That's so great you attended the meeting without being all self conscious about being heavy and could just take part and not have weight play into your day at all.  YEAH!!
