awill

Wow, I seems that ur going through a whole lot of different issues and drinking is ur escape , ur not alone lots of people are also go through the same thing they just don’t have enough courage to say it or write it out loud just as u have ! My husband is also shy and he drinks because he also feels he helps to loosen him up, however I try to tell him that I enjoy that person that he is and that he must learn to feel confident in his own skin and who he is without anything altering his personality, I would say the same for you!!! You need to get to know u and who u r without food or alcohol and learn to embrace that!! I am sure Ur a great person also surround Ur self with positive people and positive things!!!! Take care and I hope these words help!!! awill

i am sorry to hear that , however, my lil sis had it and with new meds out now with in a week it was gone !! she will be in my prayers just relax and rest !!! everything will work out !! awill

So today I had my 2nd fill it went well, I am down 7 more pounds I started at 242 and now eight weeks later @ 219!! It feel good however, I know that now I have to really work out harder every day. My goal for the next two weeks is to get down to 4 inches in my waist, I do not weigh myself often because I have chosen not to be fixed by a number but rather a jean size so size 14 here I come !!! Good luck every one we can do it!!!!! :thumbup:
