Hey Aprilers. Well here we are, fully ensconced in year 4. For me things are looking up. I'm making changes and feeling really good about them. 1)I've started the 5 day pouch test (see 5daypouchtest.com). This is designed to cleanse you, get you back to basics and to give your pouch rest and a possible chance of shrinking a bit. Day 1 & 2 were tough. Today...day 4...I feel great! 2) my job has been making me miserable and taking me away from the people I love, away from my support group and away from OH...I'm resigning. I even think I may have already found a new job! Best of all DH is in full support of my decision to step down (despite the huge loss in salary...have to say good bye to my housekeeper...oh well.) 3) I'm working on understanding me and my body instead of being freaked out about not having a normal relationship with food and for not being able to eat like a 'normal' person. What I am is all I got...so I've got to deal... 4) Back on the California and April board. I hope many of you will join me in the latter. I need to start living my life out loud again. The good, bad and saggy! Accountablity and keeping it real. So for all that, I have to say, I don't know if I've lost any weight, but I sure feel like a huge weight has been lifted off me. Come on lurkers...come out to play! Rachel
