Saturday morning Hubby had to work for 4 hours, so I went in with him and wasted time running some errands and looking at a few stores (Dangerous LOL).... I decided to spend some time in The Avenue, see if there were any sale clothes... I was walking around and inadvertantly overheard a ladies cell phone conversation... the words "Surgery","Lose Weight" stood out-- and I realized she was telling her sister she was thinking about weight loss surgery. Now I am normally very shy, I won't go up to strangers... so this is why it's a wow for me because I feel my self confidence growing... After she got off the phone I went up to her, apologized for listening to her conversation and started talking to her... we talked a good 30 minutes, she was sooo grateful to me for stopping and talking to her because she had no one to talk to about surgery... I gave her links to various websites and my phone number incase she had questions. When I told Hubby what happened... he was shocked, "That doesn't sound like you- going up to a complete stranger".... and you know what, it's not normally me, but Im starting to feel better about myself... and feel like people aren't so disgusted by me.... Maybe now I can figure out how to make friends LOL Darlene 338/321/170 -107lbs!!!

Good for you Darlene! I've noticed the same about myself - much more outgoing. It's amazing what happens when we loose weight! Keep it up! Tina 315/222/140
