Ramblings.....

Just some random thoughts..... **One of the most difficutl things for me since surgery (diet related) is dining out. My family (I'm single but hang out with my brothers and sis-in-laws and other family) and I eat out just about every Friday night before the football game. **Football Games!! I'm no longer sitting at home, shoveling food in my mouth in front of the computer ALL the time. I'm going out and doing more. I actually went out to a "club" the other night with my best friends and DANCED without being intoxicated. **Clothes - I seem to be obsessing over the "fit" MUCH more than I used to. Is it too big? Is it too tight? Does it cling to much? Do my boobs look to small? Does my lower body look 10 times bigger than myupper body? *****Most importantly I've lost around 85 pounds (won't know for sure until I weigh-in around 2:00). I feel better than I have in years! Just wanted to share the random thoughts that are in my head. Mandy

Mandy, that is so great! How did your weigh in go today??? I can understand the difficulties of eating out. I used to LOVE to go out to eat and gorge myself and get so full that I was miserable. I would love to plan where and what I was going to eat before going. Now I don't even want to go out to eat ... why bother when I can only eat a few bites? I'd rather just make something at home! I still enjoy the social aspect of it but I feel like I sit there watching everyone else eat! And it's funny how I am much more aware of how much everyone else is eating! Good for you for going out dancing! I'm still too selfconscious to dance but I admire you for doing it. Awesome job! Deanna

Thats funny Mandy!! Your ramblings sound alot like mine(?? arent we??) and probably alot of others here on the board!!

I love random positive ramblings... they're so .... inspirational!! Ramble away anytime. WLS has changed all of our lives no doubt.... things that most others take for granted we can now enjoy!!
