Im going to add a picture from last night to my profile if u want to check it out today.  Im really not sure who the woman in the picture with my HUSBAND is.  I dont recognize that body at all!!! Hope we get a little sun shine today.....

Hello everyone!  Just a few short minutes to say my hi's and then I am off to school today. They cancelled Mariah's field trip, but since I had already taken it off, I am going to be working in her classroom today. Talk about exciting times! LOL I love working with children, and still to this day, wish I had gone into elementary education.  I have volunteered many times, and will continue to do so.   Hope everyone has a wonderful day! TTYL! Gotta run!

You look beautiful in that pic Pamela... It looks like you had a good time. But I understand about not recognizing the person in it... I don't recognize the person I see in the mirror either. My mom doesn't recognize me... Which is nice and disconcerting all at the same time...

Well I hope everyone has a great day... and stays warm... I'm with you E I never stay warm anymoer... I have a heater in my office and slippers and gloves I can wear. i sleep with a heating blanket at night...

Looking forward to saturday everyone!!! I need new clothes I have ONE pair of jeans that fit...

I even acted like I wanted to graze last night.  Becky pointed it out; so that is something I have to watch for.  I guess the cold felling gives my brain a signal to eat.  My tummy was full but my brain was saying a few Soy Chips would not hurt or why not some Nabisco 100% whole wheat crackers and some cheese. Boy old habits CAN CREEP back in. E

Pamela, That is one good looking woman with your husband.  Girl, you are getting to be one hot mama!  So happy for you.  I know you must also feel terrific now.  I know I do.  Have a great day. Julie

God Bless you heart Julie,   I knew there was a reason I liked you so much.   Jess, Thank you for the very kind words as well.  I cant wait to talk to u Sat while we are shopping sounds like we are both having alot of the same issues. E,  Im trying hard not to graze but with my blood sugars dropping so often I find myself eating alot of cheese crackers with peanut butter on them....I hope Im not over doing them.

I went to Walmart last night and bought a space heater for the bedroom....I was warm and toasty for the first night in a long long time....lol

You do look good in your picture, Pamela! It is so odd not to recognize the body you're in now, isn't it? And to not be recognized by other people. People tell me not only do I look different, but I carry myself differently, I smile more, even some say I walk differently. Sometimes I long for the comfort and protection of my old body... protection from what? Not being noticed so much, I think. I am basically a shy person, and while all the new attention is flattering, I'm not sure how to take it all. I think part of my problem too, is that I always feel on the margins of groups and people. Like all the years I tried to stay away and hide myself because I was too fat and afraid of being picked on, kind of left me with some deficits, not knowing how to be as social a person as I could be. I mean, I basically learned that being quiet and not noticed would keep me from being made fun of. Now it causes me to feel left out though, so it's not adaptive anymore. I wish I could feel more like 'part of the group', in things, and less of an outsider.

Pamela, You look amazing!  Congrats on the success and the anniversary. Blessings, Jacqui

You look fantastic in that picture, Pam. There is such a difference in you. I can't believe it is the same person. I am on my way but I can't wait to get there. I know I have a way to go but sometimes you just want it to get here now!  Hope all have a wonderful day today. I am going to sure try. I can't believe the energy that I have since surgery. I have been doing my spring cleaning. I am either late or early and I choose to think of it as early since I am never early for anything.   I have kind of overdone it and so Bill told me last night to take it easy for a few days. He said that it hasn't been that long and I need to rest more than I am. He has never said that to me before. But then again he never had a reason to!
