Sometimes skinny only means you are ugly and the only good quality people see in you is that you weigh half of what they wish they could weigh. Skinny isn't pretty, Ms. Angela.

Miss Hailey,
I understand what you are saying hon. The tongue in cheek remark to Shawn was made because I still have 15lbs to lose from when I was pregnant with Ian.
I actually have no desire to be a size 4 or whathaveyou, because in all actuality, my body could not handle being a size 4. I was a size 8 when I weighed 170lbs.
I had gastric bypass done (i should write a post on that) when I weighed well over 350lbs. I did it for my health, at the resistance of Shawn, I've never been one to care about looks at such. I just feel better when I weigh less. I lose the 15lbs I'll be happy as a lark.
I understand what you've gone through, I've just been on the other side of it.
If you need anything at all Miss Hailey, email me. . . noogie1022@hotmail.com or PM Shawn's blog and he'll pass it to me.
Hi Grace, I have been reading some of your posts. I can relate to some of them. I'm 60, so I have lived a lot longer than you have, so I have a lot more life experiences. My dad was an alcoholic, but he stopped. My husband was a heavy smoker and he drank heavily on the weekends, but he stopped. Oh, it was nothing myself nor our kids said that had any influence on that matter. He liked it and no matter who it hurt, he was bound and determined to not stop. I was so close to leaving him with the kids, but we have so much history with one another, I really didn't want that to happen, so I turned to prayer. Yes, I had prayed for years about it, but this time was different. I finally turned it over to God. I thought if he wouldn't change for us, then it was going to take a higher power to accomplish it. I prayed daily on my knees and finally handed it all over to God after a month. God answered in His own way. He gave my husband a heart attack and stroke at the age of 48. He recovered, but had some heart damage and nerve damage, but he never picked up another cigarette.He also stopped drinking for awhile, but then started again, hiding it from me. When I finally realized it, I did what I had done earlier, prayed, then kept praying and turning it over to God. My husband started having seizures and the medication he had to take was to be taken with no kind of alcohol, so that ended his drinking. I pray for you, Dear Grace. That you find peace within your life and accept the things that you can change and the rest turn them over to God. He may not always answer them like we think He should but He does answer them that eventually enriches ours lives. It just takes patience and faith Take care and God Bless, Karen
I thought I would stop by and say hello as it has been awhile since I have read everyone on the ol' favs list. It is good to see that you are still up and running.
Here is the real question: do you really, really wish you looked like that? Really?
I thinkyou are just fine the way that you are!
I hope you and the kiddos are well, please tell the man I said hello.

Why? That's just glitter. There's more to beauty than glitter.
