JeweI, thanks for your words of encouragement. I too have been out of my family's lives. I haven't seen my sister for 9 years now (at my mother's funeral). I refuse to have any pics taken of me, and I haven't met my husband's family, except for mom and dad, since we have been married, 10 years. All I want to do is hide inside my home. It is pretty sad how we stop living life because of being fat.
Thanks again!
