Cheri, You look great!!! From how much you have lost you have done a good job. Thanks for coming out from being a lurker!! I am the opposite of you now I love the camera, that could be a bad thing, ha ha!! Keep up the good work!!! Take care, Becky P.

Anne, Thanks for your reply! I can understand your frustration because my friend, that had WLS & who gives me all her clothes, is 5'9". I am 5"4'. I can't take pants from her because they are all to long. I can't take them up because I give the clothes back to her when I can't wear them anymore. She gives them to others then. Even if I buy the jeans it doesn't mean that I can take them up, well first of all you need to know how to sew(I don't so well, ha ha) and then most of the pants today if you shorten them then they don't look right. So I just keep searching until I find some that fit. Also on another one of my shopping days my friend, the one who is 5'9", got jeans that fit her and she had no problems finding them long enough. She got hers at Old Navy and also at the Gap. Maybe that can help you in your ventures to get pants/jeans that are long enough. We all have issues and those of us that are short want to be taller and those that are taller want to be shorter but we just have to be the way we are. Okay don't forget to look at the stores I told you and hopefully you will find something long enough for you. By the way Old Navy usually has a huge Clearance section!! Thanks, Becky P.

Jamie I did not even know it was you! you look great!! I cant belive you OMFG!!!!!!

Lol she pass it out while your workin your ass off

Mary, you are not alone girl! I am barely averaging a 2 pound loss each month. All I do is loose some one week and then bounce up and down 3 pounds for the next month. So it has taken me a lot of soul searching to be fine with my current weight. It was hard but I finally accepted that I will be around this weight unless I get some PS help. So I am ok with that, especially since my health is so much better. I honestly wish I just looked better in my clothes. I hate having to wear a compression garment every single day, I am too young for this! So I desperatly want my extra skin removed. Unfortunatly, that is far away from what I can afford at this point. My best advice, is to keep the faith girl and try to journal it out, that is the only thing that worked for me... I just journaled my thoughts and worked it out on paper, it was the only way I could make since of the jumble of emotions that I was feeling. KWIM?
