Are you British? I ask because you ended your post with ttfn. Congrats by the way on your weightloss and loss of sizes, doesnt it feel gr8? Joanne

My mirror has been lyin' to me. I saw my self today in the parking lot glass at the hospital. The wind here today has gusts up to 40mph and I was walking fast. That is until I happen to raise my head up and saw my self. I said DANG GIRL is that you I slowed down I was almost crawlin' looking at my self. I know if any one saw me said that girl is vain or crazy. If that glass comes up missin' tonight don't come to my house. Now I don't know if I really want to try for a 12 when I get well. I am liking what I see.

Fantastic.... Good for you. I have lost 132 and have 39 more to go. I bounce between thinking I look really good, and feeling like the pillsbury dough boy! I haven't looked in the mirror for more than a glimpse for years, but since this surgery I do all the time. I need to not be so critical. It sure is great to be able to move better!!
