If anyone thinks less of you, Missy Girl, because of your starting size, or of me because I'm getting larger because of the steroids the Dr. gives me when my asthma and COPD act up, or of someone else who has another problem, then we need to pray for them. They are the one with the serious problem. You are doing the right thing! You are losing weight and learning to lean on God and I commend you for both of those things. So the next time that fear of ridicule comes to mind, if a person's face is associated with that fear - pray for that person and ask God to take away all fear of what 'man' can do to you! Know always that God supports you; and you can always find some of us who are willing to support you, also. Count me in for one and I'm sure you know of others who are willing to support you.
God Bless you!
Your Quilting Sister,
