Hi Angie!
Welcome! I understand what you mean about wanting to be able to hold your head up and not feel embarrassed. I have been self conscious about my weight for as long as I can remember. I lost 45 lbs a couple of years ago and I was able to conceive my son (I have PCOS). While I was thinner... I felt great. People treat you different. Or maybe that was the way I felt because I felt different. I don't know. But, I do know that I want that feeling back again. I gained too much weight with my pregnancy(but am very thankful for my miracle baby!) and I need to lose it again.
Jenn~ Glad that the headaches are gone.
