1. What types of food did you eat this week? Burrito meat/cheese on a small flour tortilla (ate hardly any tortilla), Italian baked chicken, grilled chicken salad, broccoli, green beans... I love vegetables these days. 2. What types of exercise did you do this week? Not much, sad to say... Since the snow hit, I haven't had much motivation/opportunity to go out jogging so I'm going to go back to Curves for a while. 3. How much weight did you lose? Total loss? about 4-5 lbs... 70 lbs since surgery, almost 85 total 4. What was your biggest challenge? I had the flu for a few days so didn't eat much and felt nauseated most of the time. 5. You had to have a WOW moment by now, what's your favorite? Oh, I don't know if I could pick just one... probably the subtle looks/comments by others. When I look in the mirror and see a "normal" sized person. I mean, I'm still overweight. I've go tlike 40-50 lbs to go but I feel almost average and I feel sexy pretty often. I think my biggest wow moment was when I was able to shop in the Misses dept and try on "regular" size clothes. I'm wearing size 14 jeans today and a Medium sweater.... is that crazy or what?!?! *Fun bonus question: Do you have/plan to get that little black dress for New Years? I totally would if I had somewhere to wear it to. I'm not sure of NYE plans yet... but it's definitely a possibility!! I'm hoping to be a size 10 by Christmas... but that might be pushing it! lol

I haven't experienced discomfort upon eating, so I can't offer any words of wisdom. Gee, I hope it is psychological and just your pouch's way of encouraging you to eat in a healthy way! Let us know what you find out.

Not munching (I had one of THOSE weeks) 5. You had to have a WOW moment by now, what's your favorite? I walked into the building at work and saw a reflection in the glass door. I thought it was someone else. When I realized it was me, it felt great because I didn't see an overweight person. *Fun bonus question: Do you have/plan to get that little black dress for New Years?
