lisa dear

KEEP YOUR SNOW, dont send it my way, i am dreading the cold, i get so cold now

it is -1 now, and is to warm up to 6 today, that will be nice. We have a slight blanket on the ground, we seem to get it with rain at night, making our roads awfully icy, been so many accidents lately including a 27 car pile up on one of the overpasses here...so i guess snow would be better than rain, but not the cold, never used to bother me, now it does. We usually have more than what we have now, weather is sure screwed up this year, the ski hills are to open this weekend and we are to get some in time for that but first it is to warm up to 10 degrees then fall -15 for the weekend. i think that is the hardest part, warming and cooling so drastically, your body cant adjust in time, oh well, will just have to go buy some winter clothes and coat, never really need a reason to shop anyway.

Lisa, that darn old onederland, crossing my fingers and toes and eyes for you.

Default As Promised...new pics

Ok, so here are the new pics taken today...the day I hit one-der-land.

In so many ways, I can't believe I was that large and in other ways, it seems like I have so far to still go.

Lisa all I can say is OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Girl, I can't believe you have changed so much! That is just incredible! Is it amazing when you look at yourself in pics? Does it impact you as much as it does the rest of us? When I look at mine....I feel like I was not the person in the before pic. It's strange how I see that as someone else now.

I get SOOOOOOO excited because we are REALLY doing this!!!!!!!!!!

Trina. Funny you should ask if it impact me like it does the rest of you...I know I have changed, but I don't see it like you all see it..I think. I still feel like the same person I was before (the inside) and the outside is just there. I am still very critical of how I look and I thought I looked better than I do in the pictures....but I thought the same when I was 314 pounds...the pictures taken then and now are still surprising to me. In many ways I see how pale I am, the skin, the boobs sagging and then I give my head a shake and realize how far I have come. Its an issue that I will always deal with in one way or another.

Ok, time for comparision pics from the rest of you!

Lisa, I know how you feel about the pictures. I have the same feelings. I feel that I look good but when I see pictures it isn't as drastic as I think it would be. It's weird, isn't it?

Well let me tell you though, my dear. There is a HUGE difference!! You ARE looking good!! Take our word on it, even if you don't see it!!
