Isn't strange to have happy and little in the same sentence. Anyway, I wanted to comment on your statement out stares from people. My husband never noticed the unpolite stares, jabs or comments from people when I was heavy. Or the impolite salespeople. After my surgery I purposely called it to his attention. Now, two years later, he watches things closely now and will even say, "That would never have happened two years ago would it." It's a sad world we live in when we are only deemed worthy of respect because of our size. But with each pound I lost, I found people treated me so differently. My greatest joy is to go into a mall and to actually NOT be noticed where before I was the constant <!--more--> butt of jokes from every kid under 18 and even jabs from their parents. What a joy it is to blend into the crowd now. Thanks....Helen Dear George: (Good name….my husband’s name is
