Sorry....been MIA

Pam, you are my hero and inspiration.  Seriously. I can't wait to see you again.  take care my dear!!!  I miss you.

((((((((((((((((((((Reese)))))))))))))))))))))))))))  Good Lord girl, I miss you SO much!  Okay....so the way I have it figured....River Falls coffee next Saturday.  Please tell me it will work for you this time? ! ? ! If you want to go to North Branch coffee in the morning, you can come to my house, I'm driving. Let me know, I'm pm'ing you my phone number.

Hello Sweetheart!   I missed you!! You are so in the right company!   Surgery does not take care of the 'head problems'.  That's something we all struggle with--but congrats on not going back to the smokes!! That's something to celebrate---like day at the spa, or a DVD,  something  non-food. As afar the hanging skin---yup--you're still in the right company!!  I think I look pretty good too--with clothes on!   I'm gonna have to invest in those 'spanx' things or a good girdle.  As soon as I get a good job or win the lottery I'm going in for a remake!  PS should get rid of at least 15#s  of flubber!  Until then--I guess exercise is my ticket...that and a dark hiding room! Any pretty soon you'll be throwing those 'big girl panties' away! (((HUG)) **SUE**

Oh Sue!  Thank you!  I know I'm not alone...just let myself feel that way sometimes.  And....there is NO WAY you have that much skin.  I've seen you, you look fabulous!  I actually said something to a friend at work today about the hanging skin and how it was making me feel and they said....just concentrate on the fact you look GREAT with clothes on.  Get rid of the mirrors.  LOL   Yep, big girl panties are being tossed.  LOL

I am so glad to see your on again.  Don't sweat the small stuff I know it's easier said then done and when you get in a glitch look at ols pictures thats what I do and then I see how far I have come and it;s amazing.  I for the first time love myself and the way I feel.  hang in htere sweets and it will get better.  I will keep you and your family in my prayers......keep in touch and congrats on the 1 year no smoking....how awesome.  it has been 15 months for me and I can't stand the smell of smoke from others can't believe it used to be me........ Hugs Marsha

Thank you SO much Marsha!  I know it will get better....I just gotta deal with it.  It's life after surgery...I knew it would be here, but was SO sure it wouldn't bother me.   Congrats on the 15 months!  That's AWESOME!  Very true...can't stand walkin through it now.....BLECH!

You surely don't have to apologize for not posting for awhile.  You have so much going on with your new job and family, just make sure to take care of yourself.  I'm done travelling for awhile and I'm looking forward to seeing you at a Saturday morning coffee.   As far as the skin issue, I'd rather have the loose sking than the extra 115 lbs. any day.   I don't know anyone my age who looks good naked whether they lost weight or not......that's what friends are for!!

YAY!!!!!!!!! I can't wait to see you again!  I think you hit it on the head and thank you!  I have to remember that most people my age don't look nice naked.  LOL  That's what I'm going to hold on to! You're fabulous!

It's so good to see you posting again.  I'm looking forward to coffee in the morning and getting to visit with you again. I understand about the skin...I didn't want to be seen naked before because of the weight, and now I don't want to be seen naked because of the skin...Can't win for losing, huh??  I just keep telling myself, at least I'm healthy now.  And you are too.... Hugs, Debi

Amen Debi!  I am healthy now and that's all I wanted with the surgery.  My health. See you in da mornin
