I'm 21, almost 22, and am 5'4" and tonight was 243 on the scale. I'm disgusted with myself.<BR/><BR/>I am happy and confident for the most part, but I ride horses and show and sometimes when I'm riding my horse in the ring I imagine people saying "that poor horse has to carry that fatass around". I have a young horse that I put in training because I feel I am too heavy to train him myself, even though I am great at horse related stuff like that.<BR/><BR/>I have stomach problems that make me nauseous almost 24/7, yet I still find myself eating to make myself feel better, crackers, etc what not. Crackers seem pretty harmless, but its when you keep eating them, with a slice of bread here and there, they add up quick.<BR/><BR/>It seems like I am always thinking about food, planning what I'll have next, wh at I'm in the mood for, what I wish I ahd. Wish I could stop that!<BR/><BR/>I was just diagnosed with cystic fibrosis last fall (late diagnosis) and most people who have this disease have trouble keeping weight on, not me! I feel really chicken about this whole thing, I like I just need to cowgirl up and do it. I get the motivation, it's definitely there, but then it's like before I know it I've ate a snack and not realized it!<BR/><BR/>I am a picky eater too, I don't like fruit at all (except orange juice, apple juice and apple sauce), I don't like vegetables unless its in soup. Salad makes me gag, I've tried to eat it, but I can't do it. I'd love to be able to sit down and have a salad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977345618474243123.post-90338847325817512692008-08-15T13:46:00.000-07:002008-08-15T13:46:00.000-07:00Just adding to what KBN said....Paul obviously has...Just adding to what KBN said....Paul obviously has CF. He obviously was dealing with his own health issues and doesn't appear to have been in the same city as Gina. Being that all the evidence showing Gina is actually out riding her horses all day, comes directly from Gina's online accounts, and she's the one who's out destroying evidence, I really wonder if he's the one who got duped. If he did all this in good faith, and she sent him the other girl's pic, etc.Cariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07899586743691049942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977345618474243123.post-50526981159508929662008-08-15T13:43:00.000-07:002008-08-15T13:43:00.000-07:00Wow. so now "Blake" has the same online identities...Wow. so now "Blake" has the same online identities, too?

I'm the kbn (kbm) that terri referred to in a previous comment. I have known Paul for four plus years. We have spoken by phone more times than I can count. We have met in person 3 times, twice prior to his transplant when he was dependent on oxygen. I visited him at the center where he had his transplant 3 weeks after his surgery for several days, staying with his mother. He is who he says he is. Paul has lost countless hours of sleep staying on the phone with Gina overnight to keep her company while she sits in the ICU, panicky. Please don't attack him-- if you are all victims, then he is the biggest one here. <BR/><BR/>kbnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977345618474243123.post-46342991299985690212008-08-15T12:05:00.000-07:002008-08-15T12:05:00.000-07:00http://www.healthboards.com/boards/search.php?sear...http://www.healthboards.com/boards/search.php?searchid=7032503<BR/><BR/>Gina claiming to have been diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at the age of 21?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977345618474243123.post-11006050713831271512008-08-15T11:55:00.000-07:002008-08-15T11:55:00.000-07:00Hello, there is a website which is called the Way ...Hello, there is a website which is called the Way back machine.

In your opinion, what started the whole thing and why? Do you know why there is such confusion over who's who? Which girl had the transplant--the Gina in the pics with the horses or the Gina whose face was on the FOP site? Why was it so suddenly ended in the first place? That's what stunned me--to go through all these months caring about this girl and praying for her, and to have the site suddenly shut down with no explanation--that seemed really wrong to do that to people who were cultivated to be part of this community.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977345618474243123.post-91150561376560075552008-08-15T10:25:00.000-07:002008-08-15T10:25:00.000-07:00what is the address of the cf site?what is the address of the cf site?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977345618474243123.post-36594918243145578282008-08-15T10:24:00.000-07:002008-08-15T10:24:00.000-07:00I do know Gina.
