Lisa -

I am really looking forward to seeing you again. I'm sorry you'll miss the beach trip, but I'm glad I'll see you tomorrow and I really understand ... priorities are priorities and it sounds like yours are in the right place! They grow up and are gone so fast!

Re: Trader Joes. Give me a call this evening.

Good morning Barb.  Good job!  I know what you mean about the shopping deal.  I go with my sister and my niece and twiddle my thumbs while they shop. hahaha They love to take me.  I think I pick out pretty things, but nothing in the store will fit me.  They don't understand.  They are like the is something in here that will fit.  You just have to look.  They mean well.  Um I also know what you mean about not seeing any # under 200 in years.  It will be unreal to actually make it under 200.  I will be excited to get under 300.  Keep up the good work and take care of yourself.  Stay healthy!

Hey Stac ...

Thanks for the support ... You know, I really think that's what this board and support we share is all about. My sister, your niece and sister really can't fathom what it's like to live as an obese person ... especially, if you have lived nearly your whole life as an obese person. I don't think that people who have not been here really understand the limitations ... physical, emotional and otherwise that we deal with.

So, that said, I want to truly thank you for your understanding. It means a great deal to me.

I hope to "meet" you soon.

All the best,

Barb

That's more fantastic news, girl. You're doing amazing. I envy you...truely! xoxo Mare

Awww Mare!

I know that you mean that in the most loving context. What's happening with you and your quest to have this life-changing surgery?

xoxo
