I am waiting on approval from my insurance company. they were sent my file April 22, 2002. I am ready for this commitment I am making to myself, but sometimes forever seems like a very long time. There will always be people who are against what I want to do, but i am strong in my convictions that this is really the only thing that will be my "answer" I can no longer pychologically do the weight yo-yo. Im sure you all know what I mean. It is too demoralizing. well I will keep posting. Hopefully it will just be a few more days. Soon I'll be looking for an angel. anyone out thre from florida??? robyn r from florida
