Sounds great from the weight loss end of things. I'm sorry you can't drive, you must be going crazy. Hang in there. Dianne

OK Gals and Guys as many you know I am on again and off again with my Big Fat Greek Boyfriend and right now we are off again. Well any way my friends, God love them, have two missions one to make sure I eat because they think I don't, and two get me married off. This weekend they cohearsed me into going out for an evening on the town, well two hole in the wall dive bars. Needless to say at Bar # 1, this dude kept staring at me. YUK! I told my friend he wanted her. Bar # 2 was even better. ( I say this more sarcastically) Freak A, had no bottom teeth and the tops ones were summer. (Some are here some are there) When I went to the ladies room he told my friend to ask me out for him. EWWWW like NO! Freak B was about a foot shorter than me and again approached my friend when I was dancing with a really sweet kid. (Kid because he is 24 and I am 37). Apparently rejection is less painful through friends. Behind door # 3, was a girl who came up to me and rubbed my arm and told me that I sure is purty. OMG! I got hit on by a girl. Not that there is anything wrong with that, because even though I am 100 per cent hetero and would not engage personally in that form of relationship, I feel to each is own. But the best part is that she was the best prospect of the evening. I just do not know if I am ready for the dating world after this weekend. I always thought I was a Goddess in a land of men with no teeth but this proves my theory. This surgery has helped me to look good and feel good about myself, and even post surgery I would not be interested in these same men and they probably would not be interested in me post op but is this what life is bringing me. I can not handle that. I hope you all got a good laugh and I hope no one was offended. Love you all! Lori Starting weight 258 Goal weight 148 Current weight 146 Ultimate Goal weight 140

Okay Janice have a bit of cake. It is okay to have a bite not a whole piece! If you eat a bite at least you won't feel like you are denying yourself. You do not suck beans. Bean are actually good for you, you know! Fiber. Anyway glad you decided to join us in or reclaimation of responsibility! I am currently e-mailing all my fitday journals to my doc. so we can make adjustments trying to get me to start losing again. So I have to be good. I am also trying to choke down this boca burger. Not sure this will become a staple in my diet. However, I bought a huge box at Sam's so I might have to learn how to like them. Dawn
