23 months later I want to bring everyone up to date! First of all, it is the BEST thing I ever did for myself. I feel like a new person both physically and emotionally. I never realized how much being unhappy with yourself and your situations make you an unhappy person. I had to get past the way people treat me know VS. the way they treated me when I was overweight. It is AMAZING how much appearance makes a difference. At first I was truly enraged but I had to learn to accept the cruelties of society and enjoy the results as I had gone through a tremendous journey to get here. I just had to let it go. The wonderful friends and family I have do not love me for my size and that is all that matters! I can eat anything now if I eat it SLOWLY and chew it completely. I have found the days of eating 3 bites are long gone. I eat enough not to be questioned yet not enough to cause a problem. My weakness is sweets and soda. I am working on that! I welcome any comments or questions. Shelia
