- I just got my first message packet from this conference. I just wanted
- to say hello to everyone and wish you a happy new year.
-
- I have been overweight all of my life, and now at the ripe old age of 30
- I think I'm finally able say the word "fat" without cringing. I was
- harrassed and badgered and prodded my whole life long to quite being
- such a slob and just DO it - lose that weight and everything will be
- hunky dorey. My dad's idea of motivation was the statement (made to me
- when I was 14) "You know, you're about as sexy as a bag of dirty
- laundry." Thanks. Sure made my day.
-
- However! I am now married to a man who loves me (proves it every day!)
- and was actually worried last year when I started going to Weight
- Watchers when pressured to do so by a co-worker. He just didn't want me
- to set myself up for a fall (which, of course, I did anyway). (P.S. -
- Joe is the person who convinced me that sexy lingerie wasn't just for
- size sixes. Whee!)
-
- If anyone of the female persuasion ever comes down to the Atlanta area,
- there's a great chain of stores here called Catherine's. I get all of
- my suits there. And (for "nice" clothes) they're reasonably priced.
-
- I saw someone from Boston mention Lane Bryant. We have LB here too, but
- they are *awful*. The selection is all stirrup pants and sloppy
- sweatshirts, the customer service is non-existant and the saleswomen are
- all a size 4 (or so it seems to me).
-
- Looking forward to chatting with all of you...
