Alright girl! Her name is going to be Marissa!! I am the aunt and I get to choose. LOL Okay as for what I ate. Please don't fuss at me my very best friend in the whole wide world. I just can't get it together anymore. I am eating WAY to much and I know it. Here it goes. B 4 pieces of turkey bacon, 1\2 of an egg, and 1\2 slice of cheese L skipped sort of snacked instead S Morning start chocolate chip crisp bar and 9 pork rinds D 1\2 turkey club and about 9 french fries with 3 bites of cole slaw S the rest of the turkey club. To many cals (877), to many fats (42), and WAYYYYY to many carbs (50). But I did do much better than this weekend. We won't talk about that. I am not doing so hot on drinking either. I just can't make myself drink. Go figure. I never was the one to drink much even before surgery. Well, talk to you later. Love, Toni

I have definately noticed being treated a lot differently by strangers and men in particularly. When I weight 405lbs I almost never had a door held open for me or a stranger smile or stike up a conversation while standing in line at the store...now, i have never been thin so, I didnt really think about it at the time, but now men always hold the door, smile and start up conversations just standing in line at the grocery store...it seems so wierd to me. I also no longer feel like everyone is judgeing me based on my weight...like what's in my shoppiing cart, what I can and cant do or go. Its almost like I felt "invisible" when I was so big, and people tried to ignore me and now it feels strange to start conversations with people i dont know. And being flirted with...now, talk about wierd. I never got flirted with before...so, now that I am thinner and married (LOL) I have men flirting with me all the time...I am sure it doesnt help that my wedding ring doesnt fit anymore either...LOL!

Yep, me too...lots of little hairs sticking out everywhere...in the morning I look like one of those troll dolls...LOL...ok, not really that bad, but...definately sticking up everywhere. And the loss had decreased dramatically. I have always sheaded, so i think I am back to what I normally shead. Had anyone had any problems with REALLY REALLY dry skin, hair, scalp...that's the problem I am battling right now. Shanna
