    Hi Candy,

    Thank you for sharing your story. That was really brave. I think MFP is a great start, although IMHO (disregard if you like), some therapy might help you confront some of the psychological trauma you've had that have caused the weight gain. Best of luck!!

    Hey girl...I will be here to support you. I have no homophobic or religious zealot tendencies so you are safe to share with me. I'm your height...but 43 years old and I currently weigh 283. I have NEVER weighed this much, even when I delivered a ten pound infant! So...we can do our best each day, hold each other accountable and give each other encouragement. You are very brave to share and from what I have seen on this site, this is a safe place to do just that.

    wow! I was in tears reading what you went through hun. Parents kick out the kids just for orientation is totally wrong. With the worst part of your life behind, try to embrace the rest of your life with good spirit and most importantly try to surrond yourself with people who care about you and want the best for you. Don't ever self-pity yourself for what you went through or settle down for less. You deserve the best hun!
    feel free to add me for support.

    Hi Candice,

    Welcome to MFP. I am a conservative, Catholic, heterosexual. But I don't like mean, intolerant people of any kind. Totally not cool. I don't have much to add except to wish you well on your journey, and ignore any mean idiots that you run into on the boards. They are not worth your time to deal with. Hugs!:smile:
    same here! welcome back and you got this girl! we're all here for eachother!

    You can do this. You have been through so much in your life. I admire you so much for what you have done, and what I know you can and will do. And by the way - thank you so much for creating the LGBT group. I'm also a lesbian and I felt a thousand times more at home on MFP when I found that group - I really really appreciate it. I added you :)

    Thank you for joining the group. I am so happy to see what it has become in the time I've been gone. :-)

    You are such a strong person, and it's always nice to meet fellow LGBT liberals. Friend request sent.
