Everything has changed for me. Because I have been so sick. I have had to depend on my kids alot. I never wanted to put off on my kids. But I know they love me. ( I am alot better now) And I was the biggest one at my work. Well now I am the smallest. So not any of the over weight people like me now. But hey it is their loss. Some young girls look at me mean sometime.And have smart @ss comments. I know it is because this old @ss woman looks better than them. I think other people change more than us. I am not a jealous person at all over nothing. I am so happy to see people do good and to have things they want. I don't have all I want but god gives me what I need. We have a wonderful god. Have a blessed day Amy

Today I added some pictures on my profile, right at the top. My one year comparison pictures. -Pam

What a sweetheart you are Tim. You're making me blush. -Pam

At my baby sisters' wedding my brother asked my older sister if she thought I was getting "too thin". Cracked me up, I'm still at 190. I wear a 12 or 14 depending on the clothing. Have I changed? Yes! More confidence in myself. I was always confident that I'm smart, but not in the way people react to me. Now I'm confident enough not to worry so much about it. I like clothes now. I like skirts are dresses. I like shopping for them in regular stores and having choices. I've not heard anything negative about my changes in weight. Everybody has been positive or has been silent, which I sincerely appreciate. I do like the compliments when they come (okay, let's face it. I'm an attention *****) Good question Tammy. Thanks for asking. -Pam

Where do I begin? The physical aside........I am a defferent person. I'm not even the same person I was when I was thin last time. That girl was bulemic and unhealthy, She was insecure, felt terrible about herself and was vulnerable. Now....well now I don't take crap from anyone. I stand my ground. I'm confident and strong. Now....if you mistreat me....I'll tell ya! The only positive trait I held onto from my fat days is my sense of humor. I became the funny fat girl to try to win people over with my personality and force them to see beyond my size. That part of me is still here and I love it! My coping skills have changes. My reward system has changed.........I reward myself with things or a massage or a pedicure instead of food. I don't think about food anymore. When I'm hungry....I think......"What can I have that'll fill me up quick" instead of....."What can I go lay me face in?" Good question Tammy! Malibu
