Topic: Long - beating myself up/update/needing a little bit of support
Hi Everyone,
It's been a long time since I posted last - finally bought our home a week before Christmas - I am working at a new job and just blessed to see another day. I am calling out for some support from all the Dec Babies - I believe that I am 202 lbs havn't seen the scales since the first week of the new year - happy to fit in a size 14 - haven't been in a size 14 since I was 14 but got very scared today because I ate ALOT. I mean We went to KFC for lunch And I had mac & chesse, mashed potatos and a wing oh and a biscut
- I know stay away from the evil carbs 
- I was so freaked out that when I got back to work I started to cry - no one at my new job knows about the surgery - so to them it was just normal but I am really nervous - I told my husband and he even confided today that I have been eating alot more lately - so tomorrow I am going back to the basics - going to the heath store and getting back on the shakes - not to say that I never made it to my 1 yr dr'd visit - I remembered how me made me feel the last time I saw him - I mean I am actually happy where I am today from my heaviest 319 - sure I would love to make it to 175 and I will on my own terms - I know that this is a tool that we have and that we make the choices but I also wanted to live like I was not on a diet - please don't flame me on that one - but i am being honest - yes I know don't complain about not loosing weight if you're not eating the right things - but that's just it - if I never loose any more I am content. But I am making a new comitment - the gym @ work opens at 5:30 ( I will be eligible (spelling?) on the first to join - and I will try my damnest not to eat any bagels - even if I only can eat half - i should have it at all -Thanks for reading just needed to vent a little. ttfn Jo

Topic: RE: How much do you really weigh
If I could I would do my arms. I can hide every thing else. On the island every one wears bare shoulder sun dresses. I used to wear them with those HUGH arms with no shame. Now that I have bat wings I don't want to.....OK we'll see how I feel about that when the heat index is 115.
I finally have some pictures up. They are before Dec 06 now that I can do it I'll get some more
Topic: pictures
these were before my Dec surgery.....but at least I finally have some in there. No Finally they made it easy enough for me to load. Now maybe I'll go take some new pictures. I made that reversible poncho. 
Topic: RE: How much do you really weigh
I think the same thing when I look in the mirror at all the extra skin. Currently I weigh 132. I could use a whole body lift including my arms, but would be happy with a tummy tuck and breast lift. I would think that would take off at least 5 to 10 pounds. Wow, that is unbelievable to me. I want to wait on the PS until I am at least 18 months out and my weight has been stable for a while. Of course the cost is a big issue and I don't want to go into major debt to have it done either. I guess I am just not ready yet.

Petty Kash,
This is a funny post... I am weighing about 219 without clothes..without my skin I bet I would finally be under 200... That would be so amazing...
I am hoping after another 40lbs I can start thinking about PS. Not sure if I will be able to afford it... but can't hurt to find out.
Have a great day
Lynn
Topic: How much do you really weigh
I am at 168 with no clothes on. 172 at the doctors office with Winter clothes on. I look at the clothes I am wearing now and still can't believe these tiny clothes belong to me. I look in the mirror and see all the hanging flabbly skin. I lift it and think this is 5lbs here 10lbs here 3lbs here. So how much would I really weigh if I did not have all of this skin. I can't afford to have it removed. But if it were gone I really do believe I would weigh around 150 to 155.
so how much do you think you weigh if all the excess skin was gone?????? 
Topic: RE: Does anyone still hurt when they eat?
I get pain sometimes also. Mostly because I am eating with people that eat fast and I pick up the paste with them. Then I pay for it. When eating out I STAY with foods that I know are safe.....to skared to try something new out
