I know that I will get emails and pms for this...but please...please...let's stop hurting each other. We all need help. Each one of us has been obese or maybe still is. Each one of us has been hurt very badly in our lives due to inconsideration of others, people *****ally did not know how badly they were hurting us or maybe they just didn't care. This is a place for each of us to come and be supported. and it should be a refuge from life's storms. We are all different and maybe we don't care for the way another states things or what they do. That's ok...that's what makes us different. It's ok to be different. God made each one of us different than the other. There have been so many people leave this board. Over the years, some wonderful people have gone. I miss them so much and would love to hear from them and know how they are doing. The exodus continues. There are many wonderful people here now that I would never want to lose contact with. IF I ever do anything to cause anyone to step away from this board, please let me know. I pray that I never cause anyone to hurt. OK...I will hush now...send me pms if you wish or emails. I am just tired of people being hurt. I love you all so much!!!!

So many times, I've wanted to give up...myself. I realize that I "NEED" this board and the support of you all, so I continue to come back day after day. Sometimes I have to step back for a short while and recollect my thoughts and such, but I always return and have for over 6 years now. You are right....we ARE all different. What would the world be like if we were all alike? BORING, huh? I remember a few years ago, someone wanted to be JUST LIKE ME? Why, I asked....I couldn't understand why someone would want to act and be like me. I am just ME! It was very strange, that's for sure. I'm over it now and things have moved on. Lord knows I have a hard enough time being ME and i don't think the world could stand TWO of me. LOL Okay, I'm off here..... Love you all, Loretta

Thanks so much, Susan. Several years ago, I was on the main board and a sweet lady named Loretta (Elle) asked me to visit this board. (And I do love that lady!!) I fell in love with all of the people here. They were such inspirations to me. Many of them are gone now. I am nothing special. I have a sincere love for people and I honestly care. God has lead several people on this board to me and I to them and we are so close. I can honestly say that there are some on here that understand me better than some of my family. It hurts me to see anyone hurting on this board. I may not be able to respond to all of the threads, but I do pray and I honestly care. That is why we are all here, Susan....to care for each other. I love ya!!!
