Went to Ohio for a family reunion and had a great time. I had lost tons of weight and everyone was in shock!! at least the ones *****cognized me LOL.  I had 4 people look at me funny and say "aren't you Connie?" she is btw my older SKINNY sister.  I laughed and said nope I'm Jen and they just couldn't believe it.  I felt like a million bucks not being the fattest person there. I know that sounds odd but just knowing I won't be the HUGE standout at a get together is a breath of fresh air. The food was also pretty freaking fantastic!! and I managed to stay on my eating plan with oodles of protein and just a few treats..it was a vacation after all.  So YAY me and HIP HIP HOORAY for my DS!!
