Topic: RE: How much do you eat at any one sitting?
Somewhere on this board is pouch rules for dummies.. I copied the link and put it on Indiana's board as a refresher for people.. It really set my eyes on solid ground!! Even though you can eat more of something..less solid, should you?? Does it have the protien you need? Is the nutritional value worth it? I personally can eat a small peice of chocolate cake without frosting.. (the sugar content in frosting would kill me) but should I?? It is chocolate cake, cookies, donuts that helped put me in the place I WAS.. Yesterday I had my first sip of fountain pepsi. it wasn't that great.. and fear factor from carbonation wasn't worth it..
I appreciate the hug...they are always needed!!

Topic: OMG-WOW Size 12:Sharing clothing with my mother
My mom for the FIRST time in her life gave me her size 12 clothes. We have never been able to ever, ever, ever share clothing. Makeup, shoes, jewlery, but never CLOTHING!! She is more like a size 8 but had some beauitful stuff from when she was bigger.
I put on the size 12 black jacket that goes with a suit and while I
couldnt button it I still got it on my body which is pretty damn
amazing to me. In a couple months I will be able to wear the whole
size 12 ensemble and button it. It is a beautiful suit from Jones
NY. Has pants or skirt option. She also gave me a size 12 purple
wool coat that fits perfect right now!!! I also inheritied two beautiful
cashmere sweaters that fit perfect. Just a regular Misses size L. Not 2XL, not 1XL, not XL, not a Women's L, but a MISSES size L.
I FIT INTO MY MOTHERS CLOTHING!! This is a huge deal for me and I am
so excited. Very, very, cool. Keep in mind I started out 6 months
ago a size 22-24. I'm 5'4 and about 215 today.. 36%BF - great muscle base from working out so much. Hoping to get down to under 20% BF.
Onerland I can almost see you over the horizon. Here I come!!
These days when I catch my refelction walking buy a window or look in them mirror I finally feel like a more normal "healthy-sized" person both inside and out. This journey has been so worth it.
Blood pressure has gone from a high of 150/110 to a new low of 116/68!h
Happy 6 month re-birthdays all!!

I think you are right on target. I eat about the same. All depends on the density of the food.
Topic: RE: Clothing size question
Linda, I have to say, I have always said life begins at 50!!! Okay for me it was 52 but thats ok. Life is the best now then it has been in 52 years. I have lost 102 lbs and went from size 32 to 22. All you guys are doing great and remember size is only a number. My big reward is I feel so healthy and am not ashamed to look in the mirror for once in my life. I will never be a Twiggy and don't exspect to be. But I am healthy and happy!!!!! See all lighter. Joanne
