Hi there, I just wanted to give you my support. I know how you feel. Something I try to do to keep it in perspective...is I think about how I look at other overweight people. Do I judge them or think they are discusting?? No, they are just people..people I know or people I don't. But they are just people.. and so are you. and from your picture I can tell you are a very lovely person. If it isn't too late, go to the party, have fun, and don't worry about what people are thinking...most likely they aren't thinking about your weight. Good luck in life, Donna, I wish you well.
