Hey Ya'll

Hello, just wanted to post that Iam ok. The other night I had a scare. My neice found me in the kitchen the other night wondering around in a daze. Then Her and Jeff caught me before I hit the floor. The ambulance came, but all was ok....I found out that I had taken my afternoon meds twice besides one was a alergic reaction to one of them. If it aint one thing its another...BUT Iam ok now...I promise...Iam going to tie a string around my finger to remind me from now on..That is what happens when you go out and have fun and come in and not pay attention.... I have finally reached 260lbs. I was like bouncing up and down , walking, excersising all day for it to go to 259lbs maybe it will tomarrow....but Iam down 138lbs. Iam eating much better now. Tonight Iam having deer burger with salsa...a new thing for me. The other day I had some pork...Iam learning cause I promised my buddy Jan that I would start eating. Her husband Joe said she was packing her bags to come up here and whip my booty...you know how mean those southern mo gals can get WHOA...heheeh I go in Feb 1st for my consultation for oral surgery..Iam having some removed and some repaired with a partial front tooth replacement....A DENTURE...I was like OH MY.....My neice dyed my hair dark brown now. and straightened it. Iam looking totally different . This lady at walmart said she thought I was 35 ....35!!!! HAHAH can you believe it...Iam having to much fun with this weight loss. but most of all I feel great. People dont shun me like they use too. Iam not a hateful person but, I also ran into some old classmates who use to make fun of me, said i would be worthless....I always wondered how a child of God could be so worthless...Well, I NOW AM SMALLER than they are....I told them I was glad to see them and i did not speak ill of them, But I did remind them. I was the same Craig as they knew me back in school treating me like a outcast.....I pray that someday, this country could buckle down and not fight and say hateful things to their brothers and sisters ..and for the new generation to teach their children not to hate. Its so sad. that young parents now days dont teach their kids the way of Jesus at an early age. You see on the web sometimes kids say they are atheist....They dont even know. LIke Jesus hung on the cross..."Father forgive them, for they know not what they do". I would like for you all to remember Renee, she is mine and Jans friend from Georgia...We would like to get her here to missouri so she will be better and get the help she needs...If she were in Missouri she could get better health care and a caregiver....not to mention, she would be around loving people who can help her lose the weight prior to WLS. She is such a warm loving person, and a good christian and she believes in Jesus and all this wonders..Let us pray with her and keep her in your prayers...some day she will be joining us on the losers bench and have a whole new healthier life.... I thank Jesus for you all . You have been so good to one another and helpful. Sometimes i wish we all lived closer together so we can see each other when we need to show another a WOW moment..but for now this is ok..... I dont care if im different than others. I know iam a child of God now. and always. I look different I act differnt I believe in different things. but deep down inside . Iam still Craig Lee Watts, buddy to Jan , Suga, Andrew, lana, sherr, melissa, brenda, colette, Sky, and all the rest of the Missouri OH board, and I do not need anyone elses approval I got you all.......God Bless and keep you always, Craig Lee

Hey Craig, I probably would not even know you now if I saw you on the street. I saw you the day of surgery. I am so happy for you and Thank you Jessus for helping Craig. Just wanted to say hello. Colette

Craig, you sound wonderful. proud of your WOW times, the best is yet to come...God bless you....vesta

Craig, So proud of you. We all know you are our buddy, our inspiration and our friend. I know it is hard when people have been hateful to you in the past, I have some issues with feelings about people, but we are above that as children of a loving God and I try to let go of the hurt. Glad you figured out the medicine problem. I have some extra daily pill boxes that I could send you if you think that would help. They are divided into the days of the week. I don't take as many pills now so I have extras. If you want them, email me and I'll stick them into a big envelope and mail them to you. Take care and keep up the wonderful work you're doing. Hugs and love Lana

Lana, thank you kindly for the offer of the medicine holder. I do have some but since they took me off some meds i dont use them anymore. But it just so happens im on extra pain pills and antibiotics for my oral surgery coming up that i accidently took them twice without realizing that had to be it..I did count them the next day and Iam sure that is what happend..But you did remind me maybe i do need to get them back out..Thanks and God Bless Craig Lee

Hey Craig, I'm glad you are doing so well!!!! I to was made fun of from other children when I was in school. I was not made fun of because of size, I was not heavy as a child. But my last name was Niblack, and they thought of more nasty ways to say my name and it hurt so bad I would go home and cry in my mom's lap. I used to tell her when I get married I'm going to marry a man with the last name Smith or Jones.................well I married a man with the last name Minks and I have had to tell people how to spell it for the last 36 years!!!! Then I found out that kids in school called him "Stinky Minky". So what do you do but ask God to forgive them and we must also. By the way I have e-mailed you on this site and asked to be put on your friends list. You should see up at the top of the page where it says Welcome and your name that you have messages, click on it for your e-mails. And then again maybe you knew they were there and didn't want me on your friends list! j/k Take Care Love Brenda
