I won't be having mine done at

Tonight I lost something that is very meaningful to me and my family, I don't want to go into the whole
sob story (I've been crying for 4hrs straight) but I've retrraced all my steps and since it is something quite valueable I am guessing someone has found it and kept it... I am so depressed, if I wasn't crying so hard I would probably be eating now but I am too upset to do even that. So ...

I signed up here in Dec of last year. It took me until this last month to make up my mind about whether I wanted to do this. So many things on here made me take a look at my life. Tired of shopping and looking for another outfit again in size 20 and seeing all the people who are healthy and then to hear my dr tell me that I am at risk because of being fat. I had to make a decision. ...
