Topic: RE: Hello Everyone, Im a newbie to OH.com
Hi Laura! Thank you for being the first to make me feel welcome. Yes I no longer shop at Lane Bryant or any of those stores. Actually I work downtown in my city and in an open mall and I had to buy a polo long sleeve shirt for an event, and they didnt have any for womens so I ended up buying a boys shirt, it was kind of cool, I never thought I'd end up wearing a boys size shirt..EVER..if you know what I mean.
Isn't it a trip when you go in to a store and look at the closed circuit monitor or those big sized mirrors and you wonder, "who is that person"? LOL...
I wonder if anyone has problems with anyone else saying..."you dont need to lose any more weight!"..I'm sure we have all that...I weight 156, I would like to weigh 145. I have always been one to look less than I actually weigh, no matter what my weight was. My brain still thinks I look like I weighed 2 years ago even though I am 18 months out...I wonder how long it will take before I realize that I look different, maybe because I'm the same person inside??
Well I hope you had a good weekend.
Take care,
Valerie

The calorie thing varies from person-to-person. My thinking is that is you're maintaining, then fine just keep doing what you're doing. If you're gaining, then eat less and bump up the exercise. If you're like me have still have weight to lose, then again, keep the calories down. I'm doing Weigh****chers, so we don't actually count calories. It's hard to say how many I am getting in.
Good luck with clincals!

Not having to spend lots of $$$ at Christmas time is probably the "only" good thing about being childless at my age....
Anyway, enjoy your shopping!

Thanks for checking in, Michelle. I am so sorry to hear about your pain. I will continue to pray for your health. Congrats on your weight loss. You've done in incredible job! I am so glad your counseling is working well for you. I know I need to talk to someone as well., but I keep putting it off. I'm sure you're going to LOVE you're new hour-glass figure after your tummy tuck. I can't wait to get started on the plastics maybe in a year or so.
Anyway, you and your family are in my prayers. Hugs, Tracy

Hey, Michelle!
Thanks for the long update and sharing so much of yourself and your life with us.
Sorry to hear how bad the fibro and your back are. I hope that things improve for you very, very soon.
School and teaching sounds like it is going great.
I cannot go long hours without eating without having crashing sugars (like today, for instance) but I know how it is to get "over hungry" and feel crappy and end up eating fast or more than you would expect. Think we've all been there. Planning really helps. I bring breakfast, lunch and foods for snacks if I need it to work each day. If we are headed out for the day... we pack water, ice in ziplock bags, protein powder, nuts, fruit, etc It takes time but it is worth it not to have sugar crashes and need to grab food that you wouldn't necessarily choose to eat. Fast food is definitely convenient and "right there". It is very hard to make good choices at those places.
Sorry that you have to deal with the hostility issues but it is good to be aware of them and to deal with them. I know it won't be easy but it will be so productive in the long run.
I think the fact that you want to be a counselor at your church is fabulous.
Hugs, Kathy
