Hi everyone. This page will no longer be updated. The journals are no unavailable but I will leave the page up. I have absolutely no time to do so anymore. Thank you for the great 2 years. Your friend, Pooh. *Updated August 20, 2000*

Dear Pooh bear,
I'm so sorry I haven't written much over the last few months. I've been terrible too, I have to say, and I was kinda ashamed to admit it, you know. I lost several kilos last year on our trip to Australia and I was sooo proud...but then I was really stressed out because of school and everything and I just gave up. I mean that, you know, I just really gave up.
And then this year my New Year's resolution was to lose 10 kilos...but I just couldn't make myself. My body resisted in every possible way, but my mind was even worse...trying to force myself on a diet was just totally wrong, I realise that now, you know. My body was trying to tell me all along: 'You don't need it. Don't do this to me! I'm fine, I'm healthy, I look more than okay. What's wrong with you?!' But I didn't listen, and it serves me right for not having paid any attention to my body through all of this. But then, when I realised it, I stopped. I didn't give up I guess, I just stopped the nonsense. And I have to tell you, I'm not one bit ashamed of looking the way I do. And other people have gotten to the point where they look inside me now, not just at me. And I think that is worth just as much as losing all those pounds.
What I'm trying to say I guess is this: If you can accept yourself the way you are right now, you've already won. And you know what, I think people with fuller figures who feel good about themselves make a much bigger impression on the people around them than thin people do. It's normal to feel good these days being overly thin but it's so much more impressive to feel good being fat. Even if you still feel like a failure after you've read this, I hope I've proved my point. You're beautiful, so show it!!! :^)
Anyway, even if you do close down your site, which is very sad, I hope you'll still keep me updated on your fight with the pounds. Remember, losing isn't the only way to win! :^)
