Hey Cali Friends,

I just wanted to drop by and let you all know that I still exist! I know I have been MIA lately and I am truly sorry. Life has just gotten a hold of me & is making me live life!! LOL The past couple of months have been really tough for me, so I took to running away & hiding in the shadows. Well, today I thought it would be a great day to come back out & let you all know that I am still alive & doing great! WOW! I can't believe I am so close to my goal weight! This goal weight was supposed to be my after plastics goal, but lucky me it has become my before plastics goal weight! Lets just keep our legs, fingers and toes crossed that I will maintain it! I know it requires a lot of work. Reaching your goals is never easy & sometimes it takes a long time, but it can be done! Things are going to get a little tougher as the holidays approach, but I just have to remember that this is a lifestyle change which will include the holidays in my lifestyle.

As far as my personal life goes, things are GREAT! I have been super busy dating a cutie pie of a man! It is so weird, since I knew him from high school. Who knew that facebook would become the eharmony of 2009! LOL

I am sorry, I was not able to make it to Tom's Farms.  Life is funny that way, just when you make plans for the future it throws you a curve ball and makes you choose between events. Ofcourse, I took the other choice which was a fabulous fun filled weekend in Palm Springs with my bestest cousin ever!! We had a blast!!!!  And incase you are wondering..YES, I hit the outlets on the way home! I know, it was a tough decision, but I think some of you would agree that I made the right decision!

I hope everyone is doing great and can't wait to see all of you this Sat!!

(((((JuLeS))))) Glad you checked in and I am even more glad that you are out living life. That, along with a healthier lifestyle, is what having this surgery was all about. And congrats on the new 'cutie boy' in your life. Hope to see you soon. x0x0x0

Heck I thought you would tell me you were dating the guy from your apt complex.  So happy to hear you have met a cute guy!!!

Life does get in the way of the boards, but hey, there is life for everyone outside the boards.  I come here to get support when I need a swift kick in my butt.

So glad you are so close to goal.  Think of how much more weight you will be less when you have those plastics.  I am hoping to have mine done very soon, within the next 3 months, well maybe in March.  Here is a little wow moment I will share with you.  I went to see my PCP on Monday, and I asked him what he thought about my weight, he said I was fine, not to worry about it, and that after having plastics, he is figuring about 30 lbs on me, we shall see if it's that high not to worry about losing more weight.  I am not at goal, I am not near goal, but between my age and how healthy I am in the inside, he doesn't feel there is any reason to continue, only if I wanted too.  Now how cool is that?

I hope to see you at the coffee this sat.  Love chatting with you and just hanging out.  Take care, Diane

ALL exist very nicely in the same box.
