Michelle, Glad to hear all the good stuff. I had a lovely Thanksgiving with friends who invited their German friends too.( I live in Germany currently). It is always interesting to share American Holidays with Germans who are so curious about us Americans. Anyway, it was a difficult time as the Holidays are for me, but I am so Thankful for HEALTH and SAFETY. I am also thankful for this wonderful forum. I hope everyone was careful about how much they ate...I was... I cannot stand the result of overeating and live in fear of dumping so I ate the correct amount...tasted everything even desserts but just a taste. Thanks to all who are on this forum. hugs, jacqueline

I just wanted to wish everyone a happy thanksgiving!!! Let us remember not to throw up today because we over did it!! Portion control is our friend. (Talking to self also) heheh..We have all come a long way and I am thankful to be able to be here without diabetes and be able to move around and enjoy the day with everyone instead of being miserable because I Was too fat to move. This is the first year I am really on top of being prepared for everything without stressing out. I would like to hear what everyone else is thankful for today!!!

Wow thanks everyone, you really make me feel better. I can relate to whoever it was (Erin I believe) who is the same size as me but thinks I look small even though you don't see yourself that way. I feel that way about other people ALL the time, sometimes I even find out those people are bigger than me. It's finally how we don't see ourselves objectively like we can other people. I really appreciate all the compliments though. I have been pretty lucky, the only area I have skin with that I am unhappy about is my upper thighs. That is why I have to hav a skirted bottom, no way could I (or should I say would I) go with a regular bathing suit bottom. My thighs look like sharpei puppies I forget who asked about my boobs but I had them done a little over a month ago that is why they look so good they are new LOL That is the only plastics I've had done. Thanks everyone!! You are all fabulous too!!!
