Todays weigh-in was 140.4 lbs. I cannot believe that I am flirting with the 130's! 2 years ago I wasn't flirting with anything.....I was running towards a whole host of health problems. I am so thankful that I am where I am today, that is for sure. I am so much healthier and active. I no longer dread going to the doctors office and having to get on the scale, I no longer dread going shopping for clothes and I am just all around a much happier person!
We had company the other day. Friends of ours from New York were here in Florida returning from a cruise and they came to stay with us for 2 days. I had not seen them since July 2010. To see the shock on their faces when they saw me was priceless! Richie said if he was walking past me on the street, he would not have recognized me. While I do not need the praise of others to be successful in my weight loss efforts, it sure doesn't hurt! I was walking on cloud nine while they were here. We went out to dinner that night and while i was the only one who didn't order an appetizer, I tasted theirs. I ordered Veal Saltimbocca which came with oil and garlic sauteed spinach and gnocchi pan fried in a brown butter sauce. I ate about 1/2 of one of the veal pieces and a few gnocchi and a forkful of spinach. I was more than satisfied! I was even more than satisfied the next day at lunch when I had some of the leftovers too. Steve ate the rest for me or I probably would have had it for dinner the next night also.
My point is, my WLS has not made it so I am the outsider when eating with others. I can order whatever I want and not have to worry about anything other than enjoying the company I am with. More than this I couldn't ask for!
Heres to a great weekend everyone!

Thanks!
I am so happy for and just a little bit jealous of your weight :)
What?? You had a thigh lift! That's awesome. Don't know how I missed that, but I've been so busy with moving out of state and my little kids lately. Oh and I finally had a bad frozen yogurt experience like yours. I don't understand how having ice cream at home seems to be fine but last week I had frozen yogurt and REGRETTED it within two hours, LOL. It was awful!! Maybe because I ate more than I would've at home? I don't know!!
It is so nice to hear how successful you've been in your weight loss journey. Keep up the good work.
AGH! You are so freaking close! You inspire me.
Meant to say you are so freaking close the the 130s. That number seems unheard of to a once obese person...right? I'm so proud of you!
I am so happy for you and I am not ignoring your email, I've just been so crazy with cookie selling I literally haven't had a free moment to write you back, but I will tonight! Promise!! :)
