A month with parents?:cry: I would be inside Broadmore after a week with them!

The problem with toxic parents (I have a really toxic set) is that they know exactly what buttons to push. As the others say try no to make any rash decisons babe be strong....its about what YOU want for yourself not what other people tell you is good for you. xxxx

You can't give up Bec because then that will give further ammunition to your parents - and remember you are going to be on the BEST LOSER team and it will open up a whole new world for you.

Looking forward to hearing all about your post-op successes and seeing the confidence it will give you - you are a stararty0011:sending hugs with fairy dust

The sun has definatly not got his hat on here. hope you are feeling more in control and not letting the olds bug you to much. cultivate a deaf ear, I do!

 

[BypassBee]

[bookwormy]

Well glad you are feeling spotty dog today! Lets hope you are back home soon, i'm sure that you are real exited now good luck to you, speak soon, pat

 

[Snowcrystal]

Don't give up!.........If you do......Just think about where you'll be in a month, or a year from now...You will still be longing to be lighter and your family will still be there too.

I know you (and probably your family too) are getting a little more tense the closer to your date you get...but when you are how you want to be, you will have so much more confidence and a lot more strength to handle all the stuff that life throws at you.

Take Care

xXx
