The dress I wore for my niece's wedding in May, which was a snug fit, now has to be tied tighter in the back! And my brown jeans, size 12, are too baggy! I almost can't believe it! Working the tool still works at over 3.5 years out!

Who'd a thunk?!

I sure prefer baggy over tight! I guess with working--which requires black dress pants to go with their uniform shirt--I don't get a chance to wear my regular clothes. Usually I get home and crawl into my jammies. So putting on these jeans and having them be really baggy was a pleasant surprise!

And I hear ya 'bout thinking! My least favourite sport!

That's so great to hear you're still shrinking, yeah!!!!!!!! Now tell me you're not wearing the dress to work at Canada's monster super duper store, are you?

I forget, now where are you with all your interviews? Are you still waiting to hear back from the company in WI?

Naw--I did not wear this dress to work.

I'm helping out at the Palliative Care Institute that the University puts on. Today I received a certificate for completing the requirements for Interdisciplinary Palliative Care--and got to enjoy a nice free luncheon also. I figgered that wearing a dress was appropriate--'specially since I seldom get to wear one!

Haven't heard from Community Care of Central WI yet. I come home with bated breath, afraid to see if the answering machine is flashing or not. So far---not. If I don't hear from them by Monday, I am going to give them a call.

And if I don't get a job with them, I am going to take that as a sign to pursue a Masters in Social Work. I think. This is not written in stone.

It IS good to know that even tho the first 18 months is the best "window of opportunity" (or whatever people call it), that further out isn't a wasteland void of hope to lose and shrink even MORE!!! 'cuz I just HAD my 18 month surgiversary, and I'm NOT done yet!

YAY SUE!!!

Imperfect does not = unsuccessful

Yup--the first 18 months are the 'windows of opportunity'--but they aint the only ones! The tool does not cease to function after a year. Ya might have to be more diligent working it...but I guess I'm living proof that it is not the end.

Congrats on your 18 mo. surgiversary! You do know how to work that baby!
