I did TERRIBLE this 4th of July. I ate FIVE of these little cheesecake squares and wanted more. I love cheesecake. I should never had eaten even one, because once I tasted it I wanted more. I have tasted good things before, but I am usually good about just taking a tiny bite of one of my kids, or if I cut cake, I like the icing off my finger...but this was bad news. Also, I was walking in the 90 degree heat and got thirsty and my daughter gave me some ice tea and I drank it down fast because I was thirsty and felt sick, really sick after, and realized that I never even CONSIDERED that it had sugar... just thought about how thirsty I was. So I went home and layed down for awhile and didn't go to any fireworks. Sometimes, food doesn't seem important at all. Othertimes, it is HUGE! Allison

Hi Sandra, I just saw your post from May. I wanted to say: Before your surgery you were with men who liked you for you were and accepted and like your size. You deserve the same now! If your boyfriend will not like you because your journey has left you with a lot of skin, then he is not right for you. Whoever you are with needs to accept you as you are today. Before I had my surgery my husband and I had to talk. He is a man who generally perfers women with some size. I had to make sure that he could still accept me regardless of how much weight I lose or don't lose. I was so nervous that he would not like I how I look. Sometimes I make comments about all my sagging skin (I am probably a year away from a tummy tuck too) and he reassures me that it doesn't matter and he loves me. I am very lucky, however, just as you were able to date men who loved you big, you can find a man who will not be repulsed, and will love and accept you the way you are. You deserve nothing less! Take care, Cheryl
