Hey Rain!

Wow you are doing so so well. Your post sounds like you are really in a good and positive space right now. It's amazing how getting rid of the pounds just makes everything feel a little better. Work, home, relationships, just arent as hard when you are not as heavy and miserable. It's amazing how we ever functioned. Just wait until you are down another 36lbs! You'll be taking over your whole department! I have had some problems with shrimp myself. It didnt go down well when I was on my cruise (I had it in a cream/newburg sauce, and it hurt), then I just bought some peel and eat shrimps this week and ate them with cocktail sauce. Both times I ate them they hurt going down and gave me a tummy ache. Not sure what that is. Perhaps the texture/density/abrasivness of the shrimp meat. I have had the same experience with white meat chicken. Not so much when the chicken is dark meat or very very moist. I still have a lot of shrimp left in my fridge and now I am afraid to eat it <sigh>. Overall how is your tummy feeling? Is eating still sort of painful most of the time? or is it getting easier? I still am not very consistent about understanding how much to eat. I am finding if I eat little tiny snacks all day long they don't bother me, but when I eat a meal (1/4 cup+) it still hurts a bit. I don't want to end up being a snacker but that is what feels the best right now. Just little nibbles all throghout the day. How about you? Also, how are you doing with drinking water?? That is the weirdest thing to me, I still have a problem with drinking water of all things. It still hurts. Do you have that?
