Just wanted to say Hi, I've visited this forum in the past during my past attempts of coming out. I've finally come to terms with myself and have came out to a few people so far, and it feels wonderful. I am planning on telling my folks next time I see them and most of my friends from my hometown. My name is Justin and I'm from Wisconsin (it's freezing tonight!!!). I don't know why I have never accepted myself something I am trying to figure out. I made some big changes over the past two years; lost 80 lbs, quit smoking, pretty much started taking care of myself. Guess I'm just looking for another place to express what I am going through, get advice, and talk with people who have had similar experiences. Cheers!
