my answers !! 1. Do you feel the need to weigh as much, or do you just know where you are at ? I am starting to weigh every two weeks instead of everyweek, It seems to curb some of my anxiety. 2. Are you happy where you are at weight wise ? Yes, I am very happy with my weight 3. Is anyone planning plastics this spring or summer ? I have my last plastics coming up in February, my turkey neck, drooping eyelids and a revision on my tummy. 4. Do you ever just create anxiety because everything is going ok and you waiting for the other shoe to drop ? Having this issue lately it seems like things are going ok so I just throw myself into a tissy for nothing, or maybe my teenagers are getting to me and I don't want to admit it, seems like you can't do enough for them fast enough and with no appreciation. 5. Do you go for food when you are anxous and realize oh I can't eat that what should I do ? You should see me open the pantry door stick a dorito in my mouth realize thisd isn't the answer shut the door only to go back 10 minutes later looking for something else and leave unsatisfied 6. Do you think two years out is a point when more emotions start hitting us ? Seems like lately my emotions are really hitting me like a ton of bricks not sure why just feel like I have lots of loose ends out there flying in the wind and need to get more grounded in everything. HAVE A GREAT DAY TORI

I know that I am down from a size 24-26 to a size 8-10, but I cant seem to get over the fact that I had hoped to loose more. I know I sound CRAZY (I am currently working on it ) but after 2 years, you would think that I would be SO OVER it, but I cant get the "old me thoughts" out of my head." I know exactly what you mean. my head it there too and has been for the last 6-9 months. I'm holding at a size 12/14, between 155-160 pounds less than I was, and still feel fat. I think it's because I was that person my whole life until 2 years ago. I have no answers for you, Cathy. I just wanted to let you know that I absolutely get you. Keep in touch. {{{{{HUGS}}}}} RobinNJ

Oh, I do eat some french fries, a bite of ice cream and a small piece of cake from time to time... It's the guilty feelings that are with me until I can start over again. I did try a hot dog once... not a good mix for my pouchie. But I do have to admit... it sure did taste good for a little while, but then I felt quite ill. But, I really need to just jump start the next day and GET OVER IT.... cath

Congrats and welcome to the Jan 06 board - where have you been for two years? God Bless! Jen
