Hello

Hello Everyone, First let me thank all of you that replied to my post in December.The holidays were difficult and emotional but all your advice and well wishes did help and I cannot thankyou enough. Well my scale read 198 this morning and that has me jumping for joy. Haven't weighed under 200pounds in so long.I am eating good and keeping up on my walking. Yesterday I went to the salon and had my haircut short.I have never had really short hair before and truthfully was terrified I'd look aweful.LOL The hair I loss after surgery is growing back in well I had long hair with lots of lil hairs sticking up everywhere and It looked terrible.Soooo off it came and I have had so many compliments lol everyone says I look 15 years younger.I am turning 40 in July so that really made my day.I will be posting a new pic when I pick them up. Again thanks to all.Take Care Trisha

Trisha, I'm so glad to hear you sounding better. Sometimes all we need is just a little pick-me-up and I'm glad we may have helped you out a little. I never would have had my hair the way it is now many pounds ago. It's curled under at or below the chin. It would've enhanced my round face before, but softens the square jaw now. Have fun with the new hair. It always perks me up when I make a change like that. Also, continued success to you. I think of you often and hope you are doing well. Linn

Thanks Linn, Having some down time to myself really helped.Trust me I know this pain will never go away really but life goes on and I will just stay focused on the great memories I have of my brother. You inspire me so much.I have actually started running myself ,it really makes me feel great..alive. Take Care. Trisha

Trisha, Glad to hear you are doing better. Congratulations too on getting under 200 lbs. Isn't it an awesome feeling!!!!!! I love short hair. So much easier to take care of too. Can't wait to see the photos. Mary

Thankyou Mary, I am doing alot better.It is an overwhelming feeling to see a 1 first on my scale.I even cried lol .Reading all the post here truely helps in so many ways.I especially enjoy yours. I love the short hair now ,it is flattering and so much easier to take care of. The new pictures should be up by the end of the month. Take Care Trisha

Just had a look at your profile, and you are looking great!. one thing tho... have a look at the numbers that you have put under your pics. I know its hard to break old habbits but there is no way you weigh over 300 lbs in that second picture. Take Care. Lee

Hello Lee, I know the numbers are wrong ,I was 220 in that photo I believe.For some reason when I sent that picture in they got rid of the other photo but kept the weight under the new pic.When the new one goes up hopefully it'll have the correct weight lol.You look great yourself , like a totally different person.Your beautiful .Take care Trisha

Hi Trisha - I am so glad that you posted today. I was really concerned about you after your December post. Hopefully, things are better for you now. Congratulations on breaking the 200 mark! I know that I was jumping up and down with joy. It sounds like you are doing really well. Take care of yourself! ~Lynn

Hello Lynn, I am doing better now.It's been a rough year with the divorce and dealing with Curt's suicide.I know it will always hurt but I think focusing on the good memories will help.I have someone special in my life ,he really helps me through the rough times. He is taking me away for two weeks to San Antonio.I have never been to Texas and I am looking forward to it.Hopefully I come back with a tan. I'll email you when I get back.I'd love to go have lunch or something.You really look great. Take care,Trish
