Default Another moment in the life

Before my wls i was a waist 50. Today i put on jeans and a 42 waist was too big. As a gift a friend of mine bought me some $800.00 jeans (he is rich) and i really wanted to cry. This is a gift from God (the surgery not the jeans) and it will only get better. So to all of the Losers dont give up dont have second thoughts it is all worth it.

Yikes! Ouchie!! Tell your friend I have a house that's worth 500 gagillion dollars!?! Sorry about that...but seriously...where do you FIND $800 jeans??????? I thought Gottchalks was bad. : )

Okay, okay...on to the real celebration. You've lost over 8 inches from your waist in such a short time. Good for you!!!! Me thinks that is amazing!

Barker - I'd really like to meet your friend!

It was just this morning that I emailed a good friend to tell them how happy I was to finally get down to a size where shopping in the Thrift and Goodwill stores was productive! lol 800 bucks on one pair of jeans - that breaks me out in a sweat.

Great to hear that all is going well with you Barker - I want to see a pic of you in those jeans too.
