Hi all, MIA

I have been MIA so sorry, will try to catch up when I can catch my breath.
Moving out of our house this weekend, we close on the sale next Friday. And we bought a new house!! Different town, moving to Fryeburg which is a huge change for us, What does Tim Gunn say on Project Runway, "Make it work!"  and we will, it is just change.  The stress of it all has been huge and without my best friend food I have had to use new coping skills that I know and teach in my practice as a therapist, but always used food, myself...lol-heal thyself, right.  So, I am taking time outs, doing deep, abdominal breathing, plugging into good music and running, getting to Curves most weeks at least 2 times.
I have lost 4 # in the last 2 weeks not even going to try to figure that out, cept I am working very, very hard packing.  Gone back to protein shakes 2 meals a day because the stress is sort of closing up my Princess pouch, so am having to be careful. Couple of bad spells.

Oh, and went to Fl for the weekend for the retirement party of my BF /SIL(all in one) and had 4 sips of chardonney and was LOOPED!! so much for drinking!! Wow, could not believe it.  I will post a picture of me in a size 8 fitted sheath dress, 4 " heels and my DH at my side, I felt like a princess!!
So anyway, hope everyone is great, I miss you all, I WILL catch up with your progress and the newbies, hope you are doing well, and sipping, and walking and believing in yourself and your miracle WLS. I could not have done this move a year and 1/2 ago, at 236# it would have literally killed me.  AND TO GOD GOES THE GLORY!!  and Dr. Loggins haha
love to all
Kate

WOW!  What big changes for you!  Congrats on selling and BUYING a new house! WOW!   The FL trip musta been nice!  And losing weight to boot!  YOU ROCK GIRL!!!!!   Congrats!   Remember that deep breathing!!!  I'm so happy for you!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for catching us all up!  You have been missed. Can't wait to see that picture!

hey, kate, nice hearing from you and thank you.  so many people have just moved on after their weight loss it is nice to get an update every few months.  I feel like everyone just ran off and left me.  even all those who had surgery 6months after me are so far gone and i'm still here alone, struggling.  I've seen so many loose 100 + lbs and i'm at 40... bFnDeal?? I've met so many old HS friends on Facebook and meeting up with all of them and it has been so exciting.  Iguess like you said "making it work".  I also try to come back everyfew days to catch up and see what my old "Honker's" are up to.  Best of luck to you in your new house.  how exciting and emotional all at the same time.  Remember "Take some plants" from your old house to have memories.  Best of Luck, hugs, and Honks.

That is great you finally sold the house. You worked on that for a long time.  Congrats on the new house. 
It is amazing how after a while our pouch reminds us that it is changed.  I still get reminders if I overdo it.  Good thing it keeps us in check. 

Well, Kate...we will be in Stoneham July3rd-July 10th.  Let us know if you need any help.  We won't be far from you.  Missi

We'll be out of here by Sunday and living at our son's or the camper, back and forth.  We close on the new house Aug 21. Thank you for the offer, that is so nice of you, I hope  you have great weather and can see moose every day!! Call me at 603-662-5432 when you are in town...I work Tuesday and Thursdays.
