DATE SHOULD BE 01-11-07. IT'S 4:22 A.M THURSDAY MORNING AND MY FINGERS ARE SLIPPING UP!
PLUS I WANTED TO HEAR THE "OVER THE RAINBOW" MUSIC ONCE MORE BEFORE GOING TO SLEEP. THIS CUSTOMIZING THAT HAVEN CREATED HAS BEEN A GREAT SOURCE OF COMFORT WHENEVER  I GET BLUE MISSING Z GIRL.
THANKS HAVEN, U ARE A SPECIAL, TALENTED LADY!

011-207.  WOW, 6 MOS. ALREADY! IT DOESN'T SEEM POSSIBLE IT'S GONE BY SO FAST. LOOKING BACK OVER THESE MOS. MAKES ME EVEN MORE HAPPY THAT I WENT BANDED. I NEVER IMAGINED MY SELF AT THIS WEIGHT WITH ONLY 86# LEFT TO REACH GOAL #1 OF 180. 2ND GOAL WEIGHT WILL BE 150.  LOSING GROUND HAS NEVER BEEN SOOOO GOOD. MY ONLY SADNESS IS NOT HAVING ZOEY TO TAKE WALKS WITH. IT WAS SOOO MUCH MORE ENJOYABLE. IT BEEN HARD GETTING OVER LOSING HER. PROBABLY SEEMS SILLY TO SOME, BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER.  I WILL ALWAYS HAVE THAT EMPTY SPOT IN MY HEART. NOT GETTING ANOTHER PET IS HARD TOO, BUT THE PAIN OF LOSING ONE IS JUST TOO GREAT. I KNOW SHE'S HEALTHY AND HAPPY NOW. SHE'S ALWAYS GOING TO BE  MY CHUBBY LITTLE FURRY FRIEND! (:o)
I CONCENTRATE ON HOW MUCH BETTER  I FEEL. HOW MUCH EASIER WALKING AND SHOPPING AND MOST OF ALL, CHASING GRANDKIDS AROUND!  THEY LOVE ME AS I AM, FOR MYSELF. NOT WHAT SOCIETY DEMANDS. IT'S SAD HOW MUCH OF OUR SELF-ESTEEM GENERATES AROUND WHAT OTHERS THINK OF US. OBESITY HAS FINALLY MADE THE MEDICAL BOOKS AS A DISORDER, DISEASE, WHATEVER WORD U WANT TO USE. JUST AS HYPERTENSION, DIABETES, ETC. I'M GLAD I LIVE IN A TIME THAT HAS CHANGED PEOPLES LIVES BY A SIMPLE, BUT TREMENDOUSLY STRONG, WHITE BAND.I SOMETIMES THINK IT'S ALL A DREAM AND WILL WAKE UP FROM THIS WONDERFUL HEALTHY BODY.KIND OF SURREAL.  I ALSO KNOW, WITHOUT ANY DOUBT AT ALL, I WOULDN'T BE WHERE  I AM RIGHT NOW WITHOUT GOD'S PRESENCE, LOVE AND GUIDANCE. HE BROUGHT ME TO THIS DATE AND I AM ETERNALLY GRATEFUL TO HIM!! I COULDN'T HAVE COME THIS FAR ALONE.
HAPPY NEW YEAR DOM!!!

12/11/2006  WELL, 67# LESS. FEELING FINE AND LOOKING PRETTY GOOD. NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD BE ABLE TO SAY THAT. NOW BEGINS THE REAL WORK, SINCE LOSING HAS SLOWED TO THE 1-2# A WEEK. WHICH IS FINE. SLOW BUT SURE. I DON'T WANT IT BACK! CHRISTMAS IS NEARING BUT I THINK IT HAS BEEN CHRISTMAS FOR ME SINCE 6-21-06. SURGERY WAS THE BEST PRESENT I HAVE EVER GIVEN MYSELF.  THANKS ALEX!

11-21-06 *****  WELL, IT HAS BEEN 5 MOS. TODAY SINCE SURGERY. WOW! HOW THE TIME HAS PASSED SO QUICKLY. I HAVE STARTED FEELING "THIN". IT'S REALLY A WEIRD SENSATION. EVERYTHING IS SO MUCH SMALLER AND IT SEEMS LIKE I'M NOT REALLY ME. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO SO MUCH MORE THAN I EVER THOUGHT I WOULD BE ABLE TO DO AGAIN. HAVING MY GRANDCHILDREN STAY AN ENTIRE WEEK AT A TIME. SEPERATELY. WALKING 8 BLKS. WITH MY YOUNGEST GRANDDAUGHTER ON MY SHOULDERS. WALKING ANY WHERE! (PERSONAL HYGIENE IS EASIER TOO). LIKING MYSELF BECAUSE I'M ME. TAKING A LOT LESS MEDICATION. BEING ABLE TO WORK IN THE YARD AGAIN. MY ONLY SADNESS IS NOT HAVING MY BELOVED PET, ZOEY, WITH ME TO TAKE WALKS WITH. SHE IS A MINI-DASCHAUND. SHE PASSED AWAY AUG. 30, 06 OF CANCER. SHE WAS MY BEST FRIEND! SHE WAS 11 AND THE PAST 2 YRS. WE SPENT EVERYDAY ALL DAY TOGETHER AFTER I RETIRED IN 04. SHE WAS MY BABY. BUT I KNOW SHE IS HAPPIER AND HEALTHIER NOW THAT SHE IS WITH GOD AND ALL HER FAMILY. PROBABLY SEEMS SILLY TO SOMEONE READING THIS THAT I PUT SO MUCH LOVE INTO A PET, BUT I HAVE ALWAYS HAD AT LEAST ONE DOG IN MY LIFE FOR 55 YRS NOW. THE UNCONDITIONAL LOVE A PET BRINGS IS UNEQUALED BY HUMANS. SO, I LOVE MY GIRL
AND THOUGH I MISS HER TERRIBLY, I DO HAVE MUCH TO BE THANKFUL FOR THIS THANKSGIVING.

I WOULDN'T HAVE BELIEVED THAT 62lbs. COULD HAVE CHANGED THINGS SO MUCH.  I AM LOOKING SOOO FORWARD TO SO MUCH MORE AS THE WEIGHT COMES OFF. MAYBE NO BLOOD PRESSURE MEDS. AT ALL. YEA!
