Kayla mentioned something so true on another post about men all of a sudden giving us ex-MOs attention. So I'm just curious to know what cheesy one liners or come ons have you gotten from strangers trying to pick up on you. I dont' have many to write about maybe just one that happened a few weeks ago. I was at a casino with my grandparents and parents. I went to get a coffee from the drink station and there was this man there. He was very short (shorter than me) and I noticed he was there getting his drink...he was actually in my way. When I approached he moved outta the way and I felt him standing around me. Then I moved over cause I thought I was getting in his way and that's when he turns to me and says in spanish: "Tienes ganas de ganar esta noche?" huh? Translation: "Do you feel like winning tonight?" I looked at him and he had this goofy smile on his face...ok who am I kidding he had a goofy/freaky face. I just kinda grinned and left. I thought it was so kinda funny. So thats one...what are yours? I wanna hear from all men/women. I know men get them too...don't be shy. Elisa

Kayla, thank you for this response. Yes I've heard them all too...don't graze, etc. etc. So much easier said then done. And it's not that I don't want to do it, it's just HARD. I really like what GG told you though. That is soooo true! Although I do think my thoughts about food have changed...for example, today my friend and I were driving to lunch when we saw a Doritos truck pass by and the motto was something like "food that's fun" or something like that...and I thought and said to my friend...yeah that's how you gain weight by eating for fun. But you are right, the key is to "watch it"...I don't know what I'm doing right but I have managed to lose 2 more pounds. I'm down to 173 but as fast as it's gone, the two pounds can come back. I go up and down....but I think eventually my weight will go down and as long as it is going down and not up I'm not too worried. I have hope though. I am glad for the tool because it makes me feel a little more confident that I can do this. I can lose more weight and get to goal and maintain. It's just scary because I can think it and want it but I don't know what the future holds. I guess I just need to take it a day at a time. Thanks for the compliment...I am amazed that you think I look like an 8/10 when I'm really a 16. Ah well, I have to admit I do look good . I have been getting a few extra compliments from peeps. Which reminds me...I want to start a post...I got an idea from something you posted earlier. Elisa

Hi Everybody! Like Elisa mentioned I am flying from Atlanta to LA (actually Burbank) to visit friends and I want to meet my West Coast WLS friends while I'm there( or any other WLS friends that can come). So Elisa.... how far is Long Beach from Burbank? I plan to rent a car. I can't wait!!!! California Dreaming..... Rebecca

awww...I didn't get these messages. That's what I get for relying on emails. LOL I'ma go right now (meeting a friend for lunch) but when I get back I'm going to re-read and answer. Thanks Kayla your such a sweetheart. Elisa

Elisa you will get in the 150's I know it! Did you read my reply to your post a while back?
