Sharni,

It's amazing what people think they can get away with saying to others, isn't it?

I am also a BBW - to the best of my recollection I haven't had any of your experiences or some of those recounted (keeps her fingers crossed). My regular doc is gentle about my weight, but the radiation oncologist I had to visit made a big deal about it (thank God I don't have to see him again!).

I've been heavier than I should be since high school. Though if I weighed now what I did then Iwould be thrilled!

Keep going and remember don't let the SOBs grind you down!!
