Wow, thanks to everyone who responded and thank you for the encouraging words too. Most of the time I am pretty comfortable with myself - but obviously I need to lose weight, if for nothing else - health reasons.
Your right when you say I am here and in the lifestlye, for my husband and I to have fun. That's what we want to do - have fun and live out some of our fantasies.
Miss Piggy, I have to say that I personally would never think to make comments, especially snide ones, to anyone about what size they - big or small. That sucks that others think they can do that, but some people are stupid and just don't have a clue.
Thanks everyon!!
