FTjr, you stated your case well. In the end, you have to be happy with yourself. The fact that you're losing weight, not to please someone else, but yourself is a good thing.
If that's you in the avi, you're just a cutie. *winks* Are you overweight? hehehe Maybe you're just too short?
Strangely, there's an advantage to online, we get to know people from the inside out. And there's some really spectacular people out there both unweight and overweight.
