hi darleen...i know how u feel. Im obese 2. I had to quit school b/c i was so embarresed. People didnt call me my own name, just regular ones like fatty, fatso, pudgy, rolly, big bertha, or just bertha, pig, hog, wide load...ext. It was horrible. Now i sit at home all day. I try to loose weight 2, but i just eat too much too fast. Please write to me at Pblr333@aol.com I really would like to talk to you. I know exactly how you feel!!! Your friend, Pam!
