Missy,   You are gorgeous. I feel the same as you about hiding. This is a safe place. And, if you can find a local group meeting they are wonderful. Everyone is just like you even if they are a size 4. They have been where we are. I go to one in Jackson. Where do you live? Ellen

You have a beautiful smile! Don't hide it....My surgery date is August 10th!!!................ I am excited ,scared, nervous and happy all rolled into one!!

Hey surgery sister! You are a knock out but I completely understand not wanting to add a picture until you felt more at ease.  I waited for 5 months, myself. I hope you are doing great! Big smile! Freddie

You have nothing to be ashamed of hon you are beautiful! Welcome to the loseer's bench !!

Glad you "stepped out of the box".  Welcome to the loser's bench!

Ditto on the Tennessee Board it is the greatest!! It's hard not to open up to these people because they all understand what we're going through and they empathize with us. I've felt right at home here.

Blessings

Will

Missy,          I agree with everyone else, you are BEAUTIFUL, therefore you should have not held back on posting your picture, I will start a new post about the luncheon!!! Shelia

Way to go !  Sometimes it is hard to share, especially when you are a private person!  Congrats on taking that first step!  Can't wait to see you at the  next lucheon!
