thanks for the advice. When I shop I only shop on clearance and coupons I stay in a budget. I try not to spend to much since I'm melting away.

Awww honey..Sorry your feeling some type of way! I'm sure half of you sadness is probably PMS and the other half is your PCP. You are going to have to light a fire under there asses. Keep calling everyday until they get the hint matter of fact call in the morning and afternoon.

I'm sure your man love you 100% sometime word isn't enough for us girls....keep your head up, thing will turn around for you soon.

I cannot WAIT to make more than wrap dresses.... I have been sewing a LONG time... right now I do more for my kids & friends than myself because I HATE my size.... but post-op it is ON!!

my stash is HUGE...I got a LOT of nice fabrics that Ive accumulated on sale from various sources that I dont want to waste on my big fat butt knowing Im going to lose quickly in the near future....

I have 3 machines... one straight stitch, one combo quilter and one serger... Im not big into embroidery but I think I want to get the new Brother embroiderer for projects after I lose weight....

Topic: ego booster ( major whiny vent enclosed)

Im still pre-op and as you can see by my ticker Im ablut 275...MOST people would never guess it...thanks to my height and my BFF ( SPanx)... its mostly in my belly & butt ( though I had a HUGE butt even at 120 lbs)...

my self esteem has really been low lately.... my man is always telling me I look good & stuff but it almost feels like he HAS to say it...

anyway, was out with friends this weekend and guys were flirting with me...had a guy drive me crazy to take a picture with him.... I know men are full of crap but it still helps me to think I still got "it" whatever IT is...

PMS got me wayyy down in the dumps today... and I didnt go for my run this morning....
my PCP still hasnt filled out my paperwork right....

Most of this probably sounds like a drunk rambling but I just need this dang surgery to get approved & hurry up and happen....
