Oh Pam! I think you look beautiful! Not too thin...just beautiful. Congrats! Diane

Hi Wendy. It would be great to have you on the cruise. We'd have a blast! I think our difficult times will pass soon. Yesterday was a better day for me. I wasn't a 100% perfect, but around 90%. Today, I'm shooting for the 100%. Hang in there! We Junebugs are tough. We'll weather this storm and get through it with success. I wish you luck today and always. Hugs, Lucy

Hi Pam! Thanks for your lovely post. Today, I am the same. I'll be checking my weight at the end of the week. Sizes, well... tops mostly extra small. pants - petite small to extra small. coats - small jackets - extra small to small. dresses - small, sometimes extra small. shoes - still big, 10 1/2 wide. rings - mainly size 7, some size 6 bracelets - 6.5 inch bra - 34B (I'm like a fried egg) Just started my day with coffee and FF hazelnut creamer. I'm having an AchievOne for breakfast - hazelnut flavor. Had 1 out of 4 vitamins for the day. Lunch - a very bare minimum, Stallone High Protein pudding Dinner - Achiev One protein drink. *I know that this is very low. I have to cut back since I ate way too much last week. I ate a lot of bad, bad things! Hugs and Love, Lucy

Thanks Lucy! This is the hardest time I have had since surgery. I realize that being tall means that I don't need to be 150 lbs, but I did want to be at least at my normal bmi by now!! It has been very tough balancing all the things that I need to do to get there, and excersize... forget it! I am soooooo bad about that. I know it is the one thing that would get me losing again, and yet I have no motivation to do it!! I don't seem to crave what I ate before surgery, but I don't eat well. Still want carbs, but not the fast food. I seem to want to eat chocolate, which I NEVER wanted before surgery. I always wanted cheeseburgers and fries or chips. I really have been bad with the cuppacino lately. Our gas stations around here have a pumpkin spice cuppacino that is to DIE for and it is nothing but empty calories. I have been drinking about 2 of those a day!! Well I agree with you Lucy that we need to get back to basics, but as my ulcer heals so does my appetite!! I started out with my protein and water this after noon when I woke up from 3rd shift. Wish me luck with the rest of the day!! I wish I was going to Hawaii with you, what a great trip that will be!! Wendy

Pam you look great!!! I don't think you look too skinny at all! I think people who know you worry about you because they love you. People are always telling me I shouldn't lose anymore weight and I am still over 200! I think people like things to not change too much and it is hard for them to not have control over what changes. I think you look perfect. Wendy
