!! DS and Tongue Rings aren't right for each other

[Guest guest]

****CLAP CLAP for Anita*****

I am soo proud of you and all of that excessness that you

lost...isn't it a blessing that you father although looking in from

outside, can now understand your plight and therefore is

supportive...my boss is supportive but judgemental it seems

like...but you are right about the news flash..people tend to think

that it is what you eat, for being obese but people's bodies are made

up different..there are people who are downright skinny who can eat

WHATEVER and HOW MUCH they want...there are people who eat healthy

but don't exercise and gain weight..and then you have people who eat

healthy and exercise and don't know why the weight isn't coming

off..that is why this surgery is in place for us that need it to

continue in life...my goodness it is wonderful to live in a time of

NOW...with technology and medicine to be advanced..and to save

lives...I mean..look at your accomplishment as well as everyone

else's on here...understand, that you post-ops are like heroes to

me...i have always seen you all like this and I am thankful just to

get the chance to speak to you all...
