Hey Beth!! Thanks for letting us know and hope you had a GREAT weekend....You weren't too scary were you?? Sorry, in my post to Walter, I accidentally called you his Step-Daughter. I then corrected myself... Be good friend...K-man

Hey Beth, I am a friend of K-man's. Nice to finally see something he has written that doesn't involve a crayon! Just kidding. He is one to talk about rejection. I had the "misfortune" of running into him the very day he was on his cell phone at the school picking up his kids when I was picking up mine. He was irrate! The da** HMO's are such a###oles about obesity. I have empathy for anyone who tries to deal with them. I had hoops to hop thru and I know how frustrating it can be. We were lucky enough that my husband was able to change companies during open enrollment so I was able to then have the surgery. I am not sure if it is more painful to have the surgery or to deal with insurance. Anyone out there have something more painful they want to post? Keep up your spirit. You sound like you have God in your heart and life. He will be faithful to you. I have a hard time believing that He wants us unhappy 24/7 like when we're disabled because of our bodies. I was reading an e-mag today and it was talking about self esteem and teen girls. It had alot of interesting things to say. Perhaps it might cheer you up to read it. It was the Women's newsletter on Crosswalk for today 11/10/04. It was called Mirror, Mirror. Remember that no matter what, God loves you fat or thin and you are beautiful because you are His image! I might sound preachy and I apologize. It is hard to feel beautiful when the mirror and society are so hard on us. Atleast here on this board and in the chat room, you are among people that don't judge you according to the number on the tag on your clothes. Best wishes.
