Its Sunday Morning and here is Saturdays damage...Lucy and Wendy, thanks for keeping up with me, I'm finding I'm not doing to well on the weekends, taking account helps me see the error of my ways...Anyway, keep on truckin', maybe just reminding yourself what you are doing is enough to help stop doing it: Saturday: B - fruit protein smoothie S - s'mores protein bar L - couple bites old fashioned N.C. BBQ couple bites fried chicken 2 boiled potatoes 5 hushpuppies w/ catsup S - chocolate dipped biscotti ( made me dump, good reminder about sugar, just when start thinking its safe to eat a little more than 6-7 grams in a serving, my pouchie reminds me who is the boss, this really is great although it did not feel like it at the time) D - went out for Japanese 2 pieces vegetable tempura 1/2 c miso soup 1/2 cup salad with Ranch 2 grilled shrimp 2 grilled scallops 5 bites grilled fillet mignon S - sf strawberry filled b-day cake (yum ) Alesia

Hi Sharyn! I know the time will go by so quickly. Between my trips, working and my aunt coming from Europe at the end of October, the day will be here. Of course, with the day nearing with each new day, I'm getting a bit nervous. It's another surgery meaning general anesthesia. I hate losing control for hours... but I know there is no other way. I want this so badly. I've had this extra apron for years and years. I was always hoping that someday it would be gone. Little did I realize that it would take me years to get there! I, too know that waiting for the second round of plastics will seem like a long time. I have to accrue time off from work as well. Well, hopefully next year at this time I will be looking forward to my second plastic surgeries - all upper body work, arms, breast lift and face - removing the excess skin under the chin - gotta get rid of the empty turkey waddle! Hope you're recovering well after your plastic surgery. Thanks Sharyn for your response. It was so good to hear from you. Hugs, Lucy

Hi Callie 1st, nothing is wrong with you. 2nd, check where your protein is 3rd, I firmly believe in the plateu buster diet Good luck Sharyn

Congrats Chip You'[ll be "finished" in no time. Sharyn
