ezs note:  Yeah, I admit it - obesity is my bugaboo.  But it's also one that I'm determined to fight.  Weight Watchers seems to be working out well for me.  However, I also know that I'm just attending one meeting.  If one attendee is being snotty, speak up!  Remember, it's YOUR life that you're trying to make better.

ezs note:  Yeah, I know.  Life sucks, but it doubly sucks when you're transgender.  Whether you've got anorexia (low fat), bulimia (overweight), smoke cigarettes, or use other harmful drugs (legal or illegal), they can seem calming.  I know firsthand.  I'm dangerously overweight - but today I'm determined to lose weight. I've gone to Weight Watchers.  I'm not trying to tout them, but please use a program that is safe and effective.  Whatever difficulties you face, I wish you the best.
