Hey Purplerose!!! Welcome!!! We are glad you joined us. Good luck to you on your journey and we will be with you along the way!
I am glad jiff didn't die either! I have grown kind of used to the incredibly shrinking little fuzzball....although now that she can BREATHE again she is QUITE noisy....oh yea, she is my sister in real life so if my comments seem a bit out of bounds...it is just the sister thing kicking in.
anyway, I told my close friends and family...my mother...(and Jiff's too) I told her...but she forgets about it and has to be reminded...but what she lacks in concentration and focus she makes up for by being so darn cute. BUT I think the word is starting to spread around this incredibly small town...no matter how much I try to stay in my little hole.
oh well.
I don't mind people knowing, I don't even mind them talking about it behind my back (I think
)...who knows, maybe I'll be able to help someone along the way. My weight has been up and down so many times that there are people who don't even know me in my current stage of fluffyness and there are others who only know me as the queen of fluff. (er nutter)
I guess my feelings are that we are so much more than what we weigh that in terms of other people...I don't bring up the subject of weight loss surgery. I guess at some point it will be brought up and that is ok...I don't mind either way.
anyway, I have gone on too long...nothing to unusual there!!!!
I am glad you found us...let us know how the inlaws (so nice that they are not the outlaws) react!!!
