The whole summer before school started my moods had taken on that lovely "Vanna White" quality (what a great way to describe it!!!LOL). Lost so much weight I was fitting into size 2's and people were beginning to wonder if I had developed an eating disorder.<BR/><BR/>Its amazing how we all live such different lives, but this D thing can give us so much in common!floreksahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11826898233141738110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20953083.post-1144276957517300542006-04-05T15:42:00.000-07:002006-04-05T15:42:00.000-07:00That was supposed to make you chuckle!

Maybe adults are a little more secure with themselves, but growing up with it didn't make things any easier at all for me. <BR/><BR/>Not in a mean way, but I got a bit of a chuckle out of you saying "well maybe I had a large meal". :-)<BR/><BR/>I think the OC connects so well because we all know what it's like to some degree. It too is touching. <BR/><BR/>You're doing great - just the desire to manage better is a big step in the right direction.<BR/><BR/>We're all here for you man!Scott K.
