CONGRATS on two years, Leia! I just love it when people further out still come around and share what they're experiencing - the good, the bad AND the SQUISHY!!! (give that lil' peanut a zerbert from me, k?)

Congrats on the 2 year surgiversary! You have some great insite that I am just coming to discover - the freedom thing - I love that part...I can partake in activities that I haven't been able to do in a long time, and I am just now realizing how much I have missed it! - I am a priority - it seems so wierd to me to think that in a little over a year that there will be people around that haven't known me as fat. In fact, there is already one person at work - she joined us a few months ago, and when she saw my before picture she almost died (not really - you know what I mean). I am also noticing that there are more and more people that notice me - looks I get on the street from people passing, where they would have just looked down at the ground as I went by before, people at work, that I don't work with making eye contact and saying "Hi" when they wouldn't have before. It is wierd how much that changes.

I really enjoyed getting to meet you and talk with you in Duluth, and I hope to get to chat with you more again, in the future....and I LOVED the Squishy videos you shared!
