The power of flowers
In all of my life I have never been one of those girls who guys lavish with flowers. The one man in my life who always made sure I had at least one beautiful bouquet a year was my father.

Yesterday & Today
Welp, had my last WLS support group meeting and I must say... I am glad that I am not going to those anymore. Don't get me wrong, they were helpful, but some of the folks there have becomes so self centered and hateful since losing their own weight. This one chick was talking about someone else at the meeting right then and there while the meeting ( Read more... )
