I am soooooooooooooooooooooo Happy!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Everybody....I am so syked ......I've lost 70lbs!!!!!!!!! I feel so good right now and I know this feeling is only gonna get better as the weight comes off....I didn't realize it was gonna come off this fast...For the last few weeks I have felt I wasn't eating right and I was feeling really guilty about some of the things I ate but I guess I was doing ok and I think I am a little hard on myself sometimes....I was told by someone that if I have a craving I can satisfy it as long as I don't overdo it.....That's where my guilty feelings were coming in....I felt I was letting myself down by having those cravings....After I satisfied my craving I did feel better and I didn't go crazy either....I know this is a long and tedious process but I am finding learning what I can eat and what I can't eat is getting easier...I am also getting better at not eating the bad things...I'm finding little ways to get around the bad foods...Never knew I was so creative....Anyway I just wanted to share my great news...Thanks!!!! Sincerely, Helen K. 2/5/04 388/318

Hi Helen, Just wanted to say congrats on your weight loss..It must be a great feeling...Take care!!!! Erika

Congratulations Helen, I remember how exciting it was the first year after surgery to weight myself and see that scale go down so quickly. There is nothing like it. I would even get off the scale and get back on just to make sure there wasn't a mistake. Enjoy your success, you deserve it! Lulu

All right Helen!!! Whoooo hooo! You are doing great! Casey Part of the trick is to eat somewhat how you want, but still watching how much and how often. It's all about the calories when it comes to the pounds. But then there is also the issue of nutrition. You'll get the hang of it!
