CALLING ALL BEFORE & AFTER PHOTOS
~Jilly~ 
I realy want to do this. I need it for me right now too. I alsoo want to get my pic -avatar maybe it is? I am so dumb in this area. Anyway my son is taking pics of me when I get home this afternoon.It is 7:30am and I am leaving for the gym and pool then I can shower and come home and he will do the pics and download them then we will try.I have some help for the avitar. if we can't get it. But with you all maybe I can do it and I really need the distraction 10 pm last night I found out my Mom has advanced breast cancer. I have never driven out to gaithersburg or if I go to my brothers new house it will be Takoma park or my sister in Rockville all are 45-75 mins from me.We are all getting together for a family meeting Sun.I am by the bay Bridge. See this is my biological Mom and we met when I was in my 20's - 47 now and my Mom is only 63. They told her I should go on baby aspirin every day but I know we aren't suposed to take that.I need to talk to my Dr anyway I am the very least of it.My Mom and I have gotten closer and closer especially over the last couple yrs since my surgery. and her Mom passed 2 yrs ago. Her Mom ddn't want me to come back it was to hard for her. My Mom I grew up with is skinny and never understood my weight my biological Mom has the same weight problems as I do and my biological sister who is 8 yrs younger than me. Sorry for ranting I better go to the gym and take my mind off of this but I will be home around 11-12 and I have some phone calls to make and work on pics.
My ex was pushed to retire early and it would be good since I get part of the pension but if they take before taxes amount my SSI drops $ for $ and I need $1.00 to keep my medical ins which is all I care about and if they do it before taxes pension is around $50.00 to much but if I take out I don't know ) 0or 1 which ever takes more out weekly. The man at AAco where ex worked handleing it figured it out for me and then I would get as check from SSI for .63 cents like I said the $ is not the issue though it would be nice but I need to keep my insurance and maybe I could keep it if they owe me .63 cents.I sure hope so..Anyway life has been full of ups an downs I am so glad I can move and do things I never could because I never could have handled all of this. I am so grateful to be alive and one day at a time we will get through it doesn't always feel like it but we will.
Sorry for letting all this out. I'll go now.Thanks for listening
Love Laurie

I know what you look like now . . . Amazing. Can't wait to see before pictures. Hang in there. What's the saying, that which does not kill us only makes us stronger. I didn't meet my father until I was in my 30's and then I understood my weight issue and my health issues. Take care of yourself first.

Hi Laurie,
You sound like you have a lot of things on your mind. I am sorry about your mother. I hope her cancer responds to treatment. I am very familiar with the roads in all those places you mentioned, so if you need help with driving directions, let me know. You seem like a strong person who has been through a great deal and i hope you continue to have great success with your WLS.

Laurie,
I am so sorry about your bio Mom's diagnosis. I know you are over there now visiting. I am sorry I am late in responding. You are definitely going through a lot right now. Remember you can always call me when you need to chat, rant or just shoot the breeze.
I want to help you get the avatar up. So we'll talk soon over the phone.
Big hugs and prayers coming your way!

I am who I am and accept my feelings wholeheartedly.
Those that mind don't matter, and those that matter don't mind.
