One of my sweetest role models in my jr. high friend's mother. She had this way of making me feel so special at a time when I felt so crappy about myself. I saw her a few weeks ago and she still radiates that same kind of warmth and love. I still felt so special. I want other people to feel that way when they're in my presence. <br /><br />So glad you're enjoying TMT!!

I just hope i have the strength to continue once i know i've got to show myself on the beach ;>) If we lose the weight what will we be? Thinner but still the same in every other respect. It is an empty obsession.
