Hello Donna, my surgery date sister, 1. Bouncing around on the scales? A little - most has been 4 lbs in the 3 months since 1 year anniversary. Some has been understandable and related to what I have been eating. 2. Currently losing weight? No - though I did while on vacation as I was only eating twice a day and was super active. I gained it back when I returned to CA. 3. 4/6 - and xs/s/med depending on type and brand. I am still wearing 8 in bathing suits due to the elastic but they're a little long. 4. Minor cravings - fruit, SF creamsicles, nuts. Not every day. 5. Mostly I get busy to deal with the cravings but sometimes I eat. One day I ate almost a cup of smoked almonds. Dealing with the guilt and shame was awful. You'd have thought I robbed a bank. 6. Yes - I am between 4-9 lbs below my goal depending on the scale. Yesterday on my dr's scale I was 9 lbs below goal. I'd like to stay right here. 7. I don't feel fat very often except if I feel I ate too much. Sometimes the extra skin makes me feel fat as I can see it when I sit down. But I am really liking being small and I'm finally seeing that I am small as well as short. It's hot here too - but I'm feeling it so much less this summer than last.

Siiighhhh..had to bring up the "e" word, didn't ya??? LOL Well, I am actively chasing after the 5 and 2 y/o energy balls that co-habitate with me, their drained parent...My walking partner had the nerve to get pregnant and put on a step above bedrest...I have been lax about my workouts lately. We were visited for 2 weeks by my in-laws, great g-ma, and 4 neices. During their stay, we swam everyday (Yeah!!! I have not been in a bathing suit or swimming for almost 15 yrs...gotta love WLS!) I am still recovering mentally from their visit, as it was high stress...VERY HIGH STRESS!!! Tonight, we are having dinner guests, so I am cleaning like a madwoman...sigh...I am going to try to get back on the wagon..can someone kick me in my tooshie, please??? Janice
