[QUOTE="Abbey, post: 105190, member: 179"] BBk, I don't think there is a woman out there that doesn't empathize with you. BUT... When I went to see my daughter this summer after not seeing her for a year, I was totally shocked when she met me at the airport. She has always struggled with her weight, but she gained 100 pounds in the last year. I barely recognized her. After the initial shock on my part I realized that she is totally comfortable with who she is. She still has that great sense of humor and hearty laugh. A couple of days after I got there I did approach the subject of her weight. She is not in denial, but said it wasn't a priority to her at this point in her life. I never brought it up again. Fast forward 6 months and I get a call last week from her. She has decided to go on Jenny Craig. I was thrilled and paid a year for her. SHE had to be the one to make that choice. Go to your family event. [B]SO WHAT[/B] if you've gained weight. Be proud of yourself and all you have done. Heck, quitting smoking is one huge accomplishment! Take care, Abbey [/QUOTE]
