AMEN PEI.

I think most of us here identifies with what you said above. And Antonia, I'm down to 128 and when I have my picture took, I look 200 lbs. - to myself. I go to great lengths to avoid having my pic taken.

Our insecurities coupled with their insecurities is the mix that lands most of us here. Each in our own way. Just when I thought H & I could settle down and look forward to retirement and just being grandparents, he has to have someone 'adore' him; make him feel 18 again. I, personally, wouldn't go back if they presented me with the machine to do it.

I don't think that means we all need to land on a psychoanalyist's couch, just that we are all carrying our own private baggage, and sometimes we drop the bags for a moment.
