Shopping? Did someone say shopping? LOL Count me in, sistah! xoxo Pean

Hey Mare!!!  It really is great to see you breaking out of your shell.  I also look forward to seeing updates to those pics soon!! If you need help with the pics, just shoot them to me in an email.  :)

Thanks, Jenn. I just might have to take you up on that offer. xoxo

Mare, I always knew you were beautiful. But Now I need to come out of hiding too. As soon as I figure how to put photos on I will. By the way I like your flare for clothes......hurry up and get that surgery date ....you and I need to go shopping together.  I like color and bling also. I'm tired of dressing like a mom. I am waiting on YOU for that shopping trip.  Hernia Girl Myrtis

Thanks Myrt! I should know tomorrow (Tuesday) about that date. Whoo Hoo! xoxo

I am glad you feel comfortable enough to share with us.  I added some before pics to my profile.  They are horrible front and side view.  And let me share that someone made a comment on one of my pics that said "you have a lot of guts, no pun intended".  It hurt my feelings, I deleted the pic and the comment.  I did it to share with people who are considering surgery.  Seeing people that were as big as me actually lose weight gave me inspiration and hope.  I didn't put the pic up there b/c I am proud of how I look.  I did it to show what I was and what I will never become again.  Good for you!!!!!!  And don't ever be ashamed, be proud, b/c you are working to change for the better.  Thank you for sharing.  I also want to wish you lots of luck.  I know you have been waiting for ever for this to happen.  You have been such a great supporter this whole time watching so many people pass you by, but you time is coming and we will be here to support you 100%    As for making the pic larger, I have so much trouble with that stuff, I can't help.  I can just offer you love and support in your journey! 

Thank you so much for your kind words. They really do mean alot to me.  As for the comment left on your picture...It was a bit insensitive. You know the saying "No guts...No glory!" Well, our glory daze are coming, sistah!! Now, I gotta go check out your piucs. I'm gonna have my honey retake mine later today. I think I may have finally figured out this whole freaking mess! LMAO xoxo Mare
