I have been buying some new clothes too. I had to keep taking them back after trying them on until I got some that were small enuf. I've only lost 30pounds so far, but it sure changed my clothing size. Until a couple days ago, I still thought of myself as looking just like I did last summer. But at the swimming pool, I noticed that I could stand up from a squat using only one hand to push (instead of both hands and my knees). I an ALMOST cross my legs, too!

My husband is always saying how sorry he feels for me because I can't eat things that he is eating. That I can't have food at the County Fair, at the Mall, at the family potluck, etc. HOWEVER, IF I HADN'T HAD THE SURGERY, I would have surely eaten at all those functions - and still be FAT. And even tho I get MAD, wanting to eat, THAT PASSES, but being fat does NOT. Being thinner feels too good.

Keep going.
