try not to be negative.... just think of this as a bump... in a few months you will be on the way... what can we do to support you??? TJ

HI K I am from GA too!! Atlanta area??? Great progress... you are so young and have so much ahead of you .... Good luck and keep us aware of your life... I am waiting, maybe in 4 weeks.. I envy you!!! TJ

Ben, Good for you!! Keep your high spirit.... you inspire me. TJ

OK, so 1 day later..... I am a guy, so maybe i am not suppose to be emotional...... but last night was tough.... I was thinking about all the changes coming... and was near tears.... my SO is not always so compassionate....says she will be there for me, but we fought on the way home from the informational seminar cause she was worried how HER life would change... as such, i don't want to talk to her about my fears. I have someone to talk too, it is just not my SO. She has lost 50 lbs in the last 6 months from having braces and a greater activity level at work. So this is not about her being fat and me thin.... It is about her insecurities.... I need support.... I am afraid.... I am self pay and full speed ahead... I have ALL my prerequisites being done in the next 10 days despite traveling for 5 of them to the west coast.. I am motivated, but scared.... Help I think, no, i know I can do this..... I quit chewing tobacco cold turkey after 25 years and never looked back.... I just need encouragement.... Love that this board is here.... Thanks to all that read this.... TJ
