Not too mention I want to steal your sense of style and those red CFM pumps. More than anything I want you to love yourself as much as I do and the rest of us who are lucky enough to know you.

Your post is making me realize that once I start heading towards the under 200 weight I'm not really gonna know who I am. And I'm going to make others around me mad (mom, girlfriends, etc.) who like me as the fat friend. So how to deal with that. <BR/><BR/>But let me tell you this.
