1-24 Surgerversaries!

Happy anniversary all those 1/24/06-ers out there! Hope all is going as well as you would have hoped and that you all, and all of those other January babies, are happy and content. My husband said that I act differently now, in a good way. Probably more like I used to before the weight starting to suffocate my emotions and expressive outlets. Now I dance more and sing more and smile more. It is good to live again. Emily

Oh, yeah. I went to my Dr.'s the other day for my 3-month and she said "I could not be doing any better." So, I take that as a good thing (obviously) According to her scale I was still at a -53 pounds, but I had gotten used to weighing myself nekked at the YMCA, so it could be lower with me in my skivvies. I didn't really like my meeting with her, I felt she was ignoring me and blowing me off (I swear she was reading her emails as I asked questions.) But my husband said, well, she just wished all her patients were doing so well, that way she could ignore them all and focus on other things that need to get done. So in his opinion, her lack of interest in me shows a greater success and relief for her. I guess I'll look at it like that, too. Emily

Good for you. I made changes as well. Spending all of my money at the Vitamin Shoppe helped. I picked up some Worldwide RTD, and it has really been keeping me satisfied, I've been doing 3 shakes a day at 35g each and averaging about 80oz of water as well. I've also been exercising, and the scale has been my friend, even considering that Flo is up for a visit. For the first time in a long time I feel good about the majority of my choices.

Happy surgerversary! Emily - you look great and have a wonderful smile KEEP SMILING!! Hugs, Julie
