Thank you !!

Thank you to everyone with encouraging words. I just feel like I should be further then I am and then my depression kicks in. I am so thankful for this life changing surgery! I am healthy I can run jump play. I do find myself still sitting out and watching a lot with my kids because when I run the stomach hurts from the hanging skin. I do race my kids occasionally to funny mu stomach hanging almost pulls my pants down when I run. I have never been the slave to the scale for me just Sundays. I just felt fat this week and did not want to upset my self. I have days when I feel thin and healthy and there is those other day like sweat pant days and feel awful kinda funny because before surgery I only wore sweats, now when I put them on I feel as big as I was before surgery. I would burn then but man I am SO much colder with out my 120 pounds keeping me warm. I am looking forward to summer but I am counting down the days till Christmas season for my tummy tuck! I am so glad I have you guys keeping me grounded when I fell crappy!!! XOXOXOXOXOXOX Dee

Hugs and kisses back at ya Dee - I know the feeling, I keep some 3x jammies that I love so much but they do make me feel pretty strange (in a comfy sloppy sort of way!) You're doing great and us long-term losers have to stick together Inky

Hey, Dee, anytime you're feeling discouraged, go back to your blog and look at all your pictures, seeing where you started and where you are now. You are doing and looking great!!! I wouldn't worry about it as long as you're losing weight - whether it be 6 ounces or 5 pounds (and for Pete's sake don't go near the scale when you're PMSing!) You are going to look positively AWESOME when you have your plastic surgery, because you're looking pretty darn good now. (I love that red and black vest top you wore in the Halloween pictures.) (Cute family, too, by the way.) I think we all have those fat days and thin days. It comes with the territory, I imagine. 120 pounds is a great loss for a year out. Take care, Marcia
