    Hi Vim& Vigour,
    I have planned my trip to Europe So excited! We arive on the 7th in london and leave for Darwin on the 8th for two days. We are only in London again on 10th and 11th then head on to Paris and Belgium. So excited. My daughter Lauren works for Abercrombie and Fitch here and there is one in London a huge 3 story building have you been:? There pants there are around 175 pounds compared to our 79 dollars. Huge difference but I guess that store brings in millions a day. If you know any wanta be Abercrombie people we can hook them up. Maybe I can pay for this expensive trip bringing jeans over. . Anyway when we get closer I will let you know. Would love to meet for coffee if we have time. Is there such thing as Decaf and sweet n low in London? KathyV

    Hej my Pals!
    The cottage is progressing very well and is taking up all of my time, keeping me focused on an exciting, stimulating, creative, constructive (and expensive!!!) project which I am determined to see completed to Z not to t! My husband and I looked after our cousin with Alzheimer whilst her husband was on a 5 day business trip - poor thing, she was quite ill during our stay, so it was full time and intimated nursing skills and patience for me! At least we enjoyed each other's company and kept our loving bond alive - she is very special to me.
    Then off to our silver wedding honeymoon... still wafting in the glow of it all! happy to be home to our family though!
    No time for reading, writing, socialising! Work is beckoning and so is LIFE!
    Cheers,
    Vim

    I have reached a different understanding in how we do or fail to cope with the mental replacement of our previous junk eating. Thank you Mike Fisher (Fisher1000) and Jacki (Splendifor) for your comments in my earlier threads - you have paved a clearer path for me!

    Learning to reapply our mental frustration from not "being able" to junk eat is something we all agree on. But wherein the struggle lies, I believe is akin to starting retirement. When you have worked your butt...

    Exactly 4 months out today.
    I have lost 42% of my wls journey so far.
    I am SO very happy at the improved me, at being FREE, feeling younger, lighter and just grateful to be ALIVE...

    You know that feeling you get at times, such as "falling in love", finding the "dream" house, that "great" job...? You just know it when you see it. But know what exactly? Well, you "know" that the glove fits, that everything...

    Thinking in First Person…

    I really feel guilty! I have been indulging in myself these last 9 months. The duration of a pregnancy. The outcome has been the birth of ME!

    I, I, I, me, me, me!

    It’s all about what I think, how I look, how I feel, what I am doing, what I will be doing, my involvement in any given situation. From having stood at the back of most photographs, here I am at the front, taking full centre view! I feel good, I feel strong, I...

    Take a peach. Sun ripened, room temperature and just ripe, not overly ripe… Have you ever felt your lips reaching the velvety skin of a peach, them pursing as you sink your teeth into the flesh? Have you ever peeled off the velvety, dry, soft skin on top with your teeth, and felt your teeth meet the flesh of the fruit? Your tongue coming to the aid to catch the sweet aromatic juices as your teeth sink into the firm, soft flesh? You take a first bite, your mouth bursts with flavour, sweetness,...

    A fun thread came on yesterday, with a table of the equivalent of your loss by a different measure

    According to it, I have lost the equivalent of an elephant's heart, have still a 5000 BTU air conditioner to lose until I reach my goal of a 2 month old horse.

    However, as I feel stronger and different about my weight loss surgery than I do compared with any other dieting I have ever done, I know that my RNY will work! I am DETERMINED for it to WORK! I SHALL SUCCEED!...
