Lisa,
I know it's such a pain... my girlfriend introduced me to the sally Hanson
stuff.. it's "supposed" to easy on the skin.. who knows? where are you
from? I'm from new York.. I'm trying to lose weight too, but yet ny doc says
eat while on glucophage and I hate breakfast (except on weekends or
vacations!!) I am supposed to get married this November 25th.. but that's
another whole long story that I'd be happy to share but not to the world!!
( no offence!!) long drama, place where we booked our wedding didn't pay
their taxes we lost our money!! and to top it off.. my mom bought me a dress
and we decided to get it a size smaller than I am.. more incentive it goes
half way up my back!! I just turned 28 last week and have been having
problems with my period since I was 13, I've only gotten 3 natural periods
in my life!! so I wanted to get a jump start on trying to get pregnant, my
girlfriend just got pregnant and my other friend just had a baby 2/27, they
all say oh don't worry you'll have one.. but they don't understand!!!
uggghhhh!!! so depressed! :(
