Kay,

Thanks for the good wishes and prayers. I appreciate the 1 week severance, but wi**** were more. I guess it's important to be grateful that we are getting any at all.

Hey Barb:

My thoughts and prayers are with you and Ben.  His wt loss will surely help him shine in interviews as it affects all parts of us, not just our physical appearance.

Love, Pam

Hi Pam,

Thank you and I think you are right. Beyond how we feel about ourselves, I think we all have experienced some level of prejudice regarding the morbidly obese and I think the closer he gets to an 'average' size, the less prejudice he'll incur. It will be interesting to see if that seems to have an effect or not.

Barb,  After talking with you yesterday, my hope was that you would just KNOW SOMETHING SOON.  I am so sorry that this was the way things turned out but I'm hoping that there is a rainbow at the end of this for you and your family. 

Sending you all lots of love and hugs.  Tell Ben way to go on the -25!  Men, it just falls right off of them, doesn't it?!  :)
