Congrats Anna! 

I know exactly how you feel. When I hit size 12 I thought I was in heaven, and couldn't imagine being any smaller, and now in a size 4 I'm blown away that this is "MY" new body. I've never been this small in my life...I've literally worn a 12 or bigger since age 9.
Congratulations Skinnie Minnie!

I have an endoscopy and CT scan for this Thursday to look at the obstructed area on my bowel and the cone biopsy to stage the cervical cancer will likely follow either Friday or early next week. Those are the only procedures we can schedule until a final determination is made from the other tests we are running. If I were to need chemo or radiation they prefer to leave my female organs in so they can direct the radiation to the areas it's needed and afterward they would do the hysterectomy, so we need to make sure it's confined to my female organs before they rush to remove them. Thanks so much again guys. It's not fun going through all of these tests nor dealing emotionally with all that's going on right now, but I know that someone with much greater power than me is in charge here and I entrust all that I am to him. I am really trying hard to eat well and keep my weight up, right now that's a big struggle as well. Thanks for all the well wishes.

Okay ladies, I went to shop for some black pants this last weekend and realized when trying on the 8's that they were a little baggy I'm like hmmmmm. I go back and grab jeans and black pants in size 6 and try those on and can you believe it I can wear a size 6!!!
How exciting is that!! Woooooohoooooo!! I am constantly amazed when I look in the mirror. I am even thin in my dreams....lol. Just had to share. I really thought a 8 was it. I don't think I ever wore a 6 haha. Well maybe when I was 10.

Bel and Janie, yup testing the waters is right but you got it Janie moderation is the key and to of course monitor our weight. Bel, wow you are going to look so awesome girl. Pics please when you are done. I am hoping to do the LBL and a BL but we'll see. I am having a hard time finding anyone in my area that will even submit to insurance. I have good insurance and if I can get them to pay for some I'm going to.

Katy, you are doing so awesome!! You'll get there. Wow 159 lbs in a year did you ever think it possible? I did the same thing you did and ate a lot of what I know I cannot eat the months of Nov and Dec. Back to basics here and it is paying off. Just a slow process now that I am so close to goal. My hubby had to remind me one day they I had surpassed my first goal of 160 and the docs goal of 145 and that was a great accomplishment. I definitely agree with you that when I get sick these days it doesn't seem to be as bad as it was when I was big. Everything was so much worse for me then. I am right there with you on the exercise too!! Keep up the hard work!!

I am praying and will continue to do so! Keep us updated daily. We care about you and love you and don't want you to quietly deal with this kind of thing.
It sounds like you have found some really good and thorough doctors to address this.
Do you have a surgery date just yet?
Hug and much love,
Caters
