Hi Ericka, my name is Shannon and I know I am just a tad bit older than you ( i am 19) I just thought I would write to you see see if maybe you wanted to write back and forth and any questions you have I am sure I can help out! let me know my email is cutecrazyangel@msn.com

Hey, Ericka! I am also a 16...well recently 17... year old who is awaiting approval. Too bad we haven't even sent in paperwork...which is not very funny but kind of...anyways, we so deserve this! We are in the hardest time of our life right now and in such a disposition. In our time and our society we're so looked down on. As well as our parents, unfortunately. People look at our parents or at us and think "Just go on a diet" But it is SOOOO much more complicated. Most people who get as far as we have (100 lbs or more overweight) have no will power for diets, or we obviously wouldn't be in this position. This is such a huge step, and if you want to talk to me further and keep tabs on each other, email me sometime at lonelyangeltear@hotmail.com. Good luck!!
