I know what you mean , but it's partly my own fault becouse while hubby was gone and my nerves were always on edge I would eat around 1/2 c food at a time every couple hours. Now that hubby is home and I am more relaxed I have noticed that I am back to eating meals and only eat around 4 hours apart instead of 2, I get 2-3 oz of protine and 1/2 c veg and 1/2 c fruit and back to getting around 1000 cal a day. Since we are planning on trying for a baby this much I have been fighting really hard to stay at AT LEAST 1000 cal a day but for snacking instead of having oatmeal or p-butter toast I been having veggies or fruit. My one friend came for dinner and I had a saucer of food and she said "my god woman I haven't seen you ever eat that much" She meant it in a good way but it still made me giggle some, I said geez do people think we live on 1/2 c of food forever, she said well you have been haven't ya?

Why do people think all we eat is 3 tablespoons of food and we are done eating...... That is not true. I can eat up to 10 ounces of food. That is alot of tablespoons. What I notice is im not eating 3 platefulls of food. and stuffing myself until i can burst, And i am thin now and want to stay that way so i make better food choices. I can eat anything and not get sick. Im glad in some ways i dont get sick. But sometimes I wish i could get sick. Im at goal i was 147 now im 155 I do not need to lose anymore weight. I have all the curves a girls could want. Why lose them and look like a bean pole. 155 is my choice of weight. Im sticking to that number My thought for the day hugs barb

Barb, where is your sweet face on your postings!!! Okay, good questions - and here are my answers 1. No, 2. No 3. My firm neck when I was 290! 4. Overall - I was singing and dancing to Dustry Springfield (probably before your time) today and just thought how happy I was with my life, and how thankful I am that I could have this surgery. And really - sometimes I think, when is my bubble going to burst!! I worry so much that this won't last for me!! Thanks for asking!! love donna

To be honest !!!! Im happy in everything but my marraige. it is so bad. my husband is such a hateful cranky ass. i need to get out of this mess im in. I am afraid im to weak to do this because of my heart... I dont know if all this stress is worth it. i just dont know what to do.. Going to be a granma Monday on my birthday my first grandaughter. that makes me so happy three grandsons and one grandaughter. i will be 49 Mondayy wow !!!!! im okay with aging. you look like a movie star in your picture very pretty !!! hugs barb

My surgeon's goal for me was 165...'for a woman my age'...which made me aggravated, since I had already told him I wanted to be 145!! Well, I got to 145 on Thanksgiving Day and my mind is still messing with me. I thought I would have some peace finally since I got below my 'wedding day weight'..and I am 2 sizes smaller than on my wedding day. Of course, I think that what used to be a 14 is now a 10. But now I really am shooting for 137, since that'll put my BMi in 'normal' and NOT 'overweight'...and I hope to be there by March 13, my 18 month anniversary. Good luck and I'm glad your kids are on the band wagon with you! Pam 5'2" 282/145/145 at goal in 14 months!!!
