Lost and Found
Hey All,
How I have missed you. I have thought of you all often and after not really being around with no good excuse want to all know you have been in my thoughts. I have no excuse, just laziness and negleting the support part of my recovery. So as of today that changes.
Now I suppose you all would like a little update 
I had my 6 mo. check up and all is good including my labs. I dont even have to take vitamens (ive had a problem with them making me sick so dr. has just kept an eye on things). I am down to 165lbs!! Amazing!! I am wearing size 14 comfortably and its even a little big and can wear some 12s and all medium tops!!! Bekah thinks its great cause she keeps stealing all my new clothes 
I have gone back to work pt for the 1st time in 5yrs with my depression and such, so i have been busy.
I fullfilled my last surgery promise last w/e when I took Bekah to Great Americia. As promised I rode every rollercoaster there, about 4x's. I fit in the seats and it amazed me every time. I found it very emotional though as I watched people that I used to be like as the attandants had to work to make them fit in the rides, and one woman had to get off. I kept thinking that used to be me, thank goodness its not, then id expect it to be me when we got on and was surprised when it wasn't
I survived though, emotions and all!!!
I am hitting a whole new stage now and won't be a stranger here again, I have learned the last few weeks just how important your support is to me. Hope everyone is well, and please let me know how you all are.

Congrats Giovanna!! Way to go!! Does'nt it feel great to do things you haven't done before or for a great long time!! I still hardly recognize myself in the mirror and have trouble clothes shopping still....not because of the sizes but of not being used to it!! This too I wil get over...my husband may not like it. I'm glad to hear you are doing fine. Miss you on the board...it has been quiet a lot lately. Too much summer I think. Keep up the good work.

Giovanna! I'm glad you're doing great! Congrats on the loss! I'm down to 237 from 301 and have not had any issues thankfully! I do have a hard time fitting in time to exercise with baseball for 2 sons..it's over this week, working 9-6p and then the gourmet sauce biz....which is going great! I need to figure out where to squeeze some time in...5am, maybe! Well...off to the Wilmette French market for the day! Take care!!!!
