A Zombie! Just tear up some old "fat" clothes and apply make-up.

I'm really struggling with Halloween this year. I love Halloween, but I'm a chocolate addict. I don't even want to buy candy for the trick or treaters. I'm 3 months out of surgery and I know I just have to avoid the candy aisle.

I just want to take myself out of the whole trick or treating picture this year, until I'm stronger (mentally). I think I might take myself and my dog over to Mom's house for dinner Saturday night.
 
Sorry trick or treaters, but this year there will be no full sized candy bars coming from my house, try again next year.

Topic: RE: PERSONAL - QUESTION FOR THE WOMEN!!
I am not an expert, but I wonder if it could be your bra? Since losing weight, I know my bra does not fit me properly. I keep cinching it up to try and get the most out of it. I bend over and try and adjust myself to get the best fit I can with a bra that obviously does not do what I need it to do.

I need to buy a new bra, but I'm still very large and hate to spend money on something that is not going to fit in a few months. I usually order my bras out of a catalog (Lane Bryant) and most of the time they don't fit very well when they arrive. I can't wait until I've lost enough weight to go shopping off the rack.

Good luck, I hope you feel better soon.

 I am so jealous of you! I want to be down 71 lbs too.. Waaaaa!
I think it's awesome that you are shopping and having fun with this. You deserve it! I have sold all my stuff on Ebay! I need to hit Good Will and buy some in between temporary clothes until I am at goal weight! My pants are all falling off of me now! I love having this problem though! 

Keep up the good work girly!

 I am down 50 lbs finally as of today, I know you tease me that I am a "light weight" but this was a HUGE deal to me to reach this goal. I am almost half way to my target weight! 

As far as food goes I try to stick to what I know too. I am afraid to eat out because I never know when I am going to eat something that decides to bounce. I ate Chinese Food at a restaurant the other day HUGE MISTAKE! I have fixed Chinese at home and been fine, but when I tried to eat it at a restaurant it did not stay down. It was too fatty or something! Or I just ate too much of it (most likely the reason) It was good going down but not so great the second time around!  LOL

Topic: 50 lbs lost FINALLY!
 I thought this day would NEVER come! I stared at my scale blinking in disbelief when it read 192 lbs today. I have fought HARD to get to this day. I finally can say I reached my second MAJOR goal. My first was to see less than 200 lbs on my scale. I am really excited! I worked hard to get it off! I have been working out, eating right and trying everything I can do make sure I stay on track (no more pretzel or popcorn binges). I have been eating protein foods to get my protein in. Not those nasty shakes. I also have some bars and a couple of protein snack foods that I like. The bbq snacks on bariatric choice website are good (they look like cheerios).
