    You can all add me. I have been out of work for over 2 years. It's depressing and easy to wander into the kitchen for solace. Also, I am very short and though I have skinny legs and arms and everyone says why are you dieting? I am just covering up a huge middle with clothing slight of hand. I am tired of looking pg when I take off my clothes.
