Biggest Joy, Biggest Regret

Judy I felt the same way recently when I put a regular towel around me! I pointed it out to my husband and told him what a big deal it was but he didn't "get it". I'm so glad someone else felt the same way! Erin 302/191/150

Woo Hoo to the bath towel -- It made me say "wow" when I read it!! I am going to try using one tonight and see how much farther I have to go! I hate tiny bath towels!! Sharon open VBG 10.28.03 340/254/190ish or LESS!

Great question... The biggest regret in my mind tonight is that I am still out of control and grazing all of the time. I just can't seem to get it all together... YET. Tomorrow is another day and another chance to be in control. The biggest joy is knowing that I am not limited by my size... now it is just a mental limit and I can deal with these challenges as they come. I feel fabulous and am no longer listing 8 co-morbities as fault for WLS... That is the best thing. My whole attitude toward life and living it has changed. I am down 76.5 pounds and have 23.5 pounds to goal (goal = BMI of 24.9...NORMAL). I think when I get there in a few months (I hope) I will be feeling like I have conquered the battle. Peaches to all... Judy 10/13/03 - LapRNY 233/156.5/130

Judy, I know what you mean about the grazing. I have a hard time with that too. Some days are worse. I found out that if I write down what I eat I do it less. I also make a meal out of snack stuff. Like, for lunch today I had sliced apple with peanut butter, about 5 chips, a piece of cheese, and two bites of peanut butter/jelly sandwich. I felt like I had gotten to eat snack food, but it was not so bad for me since it replaced a meal. Karen
