I totally agree with you...although my husband has always been jealous, but now he is insanely jealous. I tell him that he needs to relax and enjoy it. I am glad you had a WOW moment, maybe now they will appreciate us a little more!!!

here is a wow moment went to a bar with the hubby wore a catsuit size med an 8 whoo hoo i still cant beleive it and heres the wow moment (well 3 hours more than a moment) the hubby spent his time there glaring at guys who dared to check out his women and made sure he held my hand like 90% of the time WOW funny i thought sometimes he didnt know i was alive(sound a lil scarcastic sawwry) A few guys at my uncles work seen me and they couldnt beleive i was close to 300 just 8 months ago and made the comment "can you say major changes in that relationship i bet " See for 15 years he didnt have to worry about competition 6 foot three good looking man yadda yadda.... I was the one always dealing with issues about self esteem and someone checking my man out now the glove is on the other hand and hes having a lil trouble with it. I told him he should do what i did when faced with people checking your wife/husband out. Smile widely at the person and nod and be proud.>> I was never jealous or mad when i was with him i ws liek yep thats MY man and hes going home with me GOO day to be me eh kinda attitude. I think if more spouces took on that attitude jumped on board and enjoyed our second kick at the cat things would go alot smoother and hell even have alot more fun.

Hi! Deborah, I too experience the I'm still hungry syndrome even though its in my head, not my stomach. Its habit or stress. For the last 2 weeks I have been battling that lets eat everything in the cub board or fridge. The only thing that has helped me is I got sick with a virus and don't feel like eating at all, which is a good thing I think. Hang in there, remember its mostly in our minds & old habits. I do hope the bad habits will go away, it is a hard battle but I'll keep trying, I do not want to regain all the weight I have lost. So you are not the only one fighting this evil monstor. Have no idea's how to get rid of it; just continue to fight the notions that I'm hungrey and walk away, some times I can, and sometimes, I can't walk away & thats when I eat lots of fruit, bananas, peaches, strawberries, etc. Wish you Luck!lovedancelove

I hope I am not done yet. I have 12 more pounds to go. I did go on vacation and after 2 weeks it was so nice to see that I did not gain any weight! That is a first for me. especially since I didn'****ch what I ate, and I drank more alchohol then normal (was in Vegas for a week.) From working out alot, my muscle tone is great and I do not look "sickly" being at 150. My doctor's goal for me is 138 and I would be happpy at 140. I am afraid to feel normal yet. Janice

Hello everyone ;) My surgery date was 10/11/04 and I started at 282. Today I am 197, for a total loss of 85#. I consider myself to be a "slow" loser, but I'm just happy to be losing! These roll calls really help me to know that I'm not alone, there ARE others who are losing at the same pace. There were definitely times I got discouraged to see so many people losing so much faster than me, but like I said...I'm just happy to be losing! Thank God for this surgery! I would like to reach at least 170#, I've been there before and it was very comfortable to me. I never wanted to be a skinny minnie, just comfortable. Good luck to everyone! ~Stacy 282/197/170
