Erin, yes, I like Fashion Bug too. Here we have one side for fat sizes and one side for regular sizes. It is so much fun going to the regular side. It's weird though because I still look to see what they have on the fat side. Karen

Topic: This is AWESOME!!
I just came from Fashion Bug. Does everyone know that store? It's good priced clothes for regular and plus sizes. Well today, I bought two new pairs of capri pants in a size 14!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't believe I'm in REGULAR sizes and I no longer have to buy plus sizes and now can go to REULAR stores to buy clothes. Oh My God! This is just an amazing feeling. Erin 302/191/150

Topic: RE: Our minds are trying to adjust, too...
Hi Jane. You know maybe that is it. , . All my life I have never considered myself as thin. Both my sisters were always thinner and now I am thinner than my youngest. It is not that I am not happy about the weight loss I am I am, it is that I sometimes miss the food. I eat a little of mostly everything, but at family gatherings everyone is piling up their plates and well you all know how much we eat. I can not seem to break the bond that I have had with food all these years. If I was happy I would eat if I was sad I would eat. Now what?? Silly I know. I just need to work on dealing with the food demons and my brain really needs to catch up. The image of the chubby girl is still facing me. Marie

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

Topic: RE: feeling lousy
{{{{{David}}}}}} I'm sorry you are feeling so down but I look at it this way. What a blessing you have now to have lost that weight and now you are qualified for the heart transplant. If you hadn't done this surgery you would never have qualified. I think it's okay that you don't feel great, you have ALOT still ahead of you and it's all scarey stuff. You hang in there, God has good things planned for you I'm sure. Why else would he test you like this? Erin 302/191/150

Jane, you are right. I was in Target the other day and saw myself in a full length mirror. I had to double take because I didn't realize it was me. I have an identical twin who is the weight I am now. I keep thinking it is her in the mirror or on the video tape. For the last 20 years I have been the fat one and she was the thin one. Now I weigth less than her. She is very happy for me too. I am fortunate not to have a spitefull sister who gets jealous. Karen

Karen, my biggest joy today was being able to wrap a normal-sized towel around me - and it fits! Today I also have no regrets. Congrats on your excellent loss! I have about 45 more lbs to go! Judy

Topic: RE: Lack of energy / B-12 shots
Hi Kathy, I went to the dr last week for blood work, went back today for the results. My dr. said my B-12 level was too low so I got my 1st shot. He told me to go to the health food store and get the B-12 that you put under your tongue. I too have been feeling very sluggish. I also learned something very interesting. I don't know if anyone else knows this? If you don't have the proper amount of B-12 you can develope irreversable nerve damage! I bout feel out of me chair when my Dr. told me that. Thats the last thing any of us need huh? Renita
