G'morning peeps.......

Gosh I haven't had the chance to post too much lately. Working two jobs does have it's drawbacks. I'M NEVER HOME!... but Sunday is my official day off and I thought that I would post something before heading out and taking care of some serious clothes shopping! I'm just shy of my 1 yr. anniversay (September 23rd) and I'm doing great. I had hoped to be at half of my former weight by then but I don't think that I am going to make it. I'm only 32lbs from my ALLTIME "ohmygoshcanIdothis" weight and only 2 lbs. from my surgeon's goal weight he chose for me. Not too shabby and as I always say, "I'll take it". Had a massive WOW moment last at Walmart. I wear the stretch bootcut denim leggings at the restaurant and my size 14's were WAYYYYY saggy and baggy no matter how much I tried to shrink them in the wash. I couldn't find the darn things since they are seasonal at Wally world and they don't carry them in the summer. Well lo and behold they had some out yesterday. Slightly different than the ones I had as these are more slim fitting. Well I grabbed a large (sz. 12) and I grabbed a medium (sz.10) and headed to the dressing room. The size 10's fit. OHMYGOSH! I thought maybe....just maybe or at least I could see how close I was to them since the last pants I just bought were size 12's. But they fit. Now if I could just get this tummy of mine flat (it will have to come with PS which I can't do right now) that is what is holding me in the larger sizes as I surely don't have a big rear end any longer and the legs to go with it. I wear size medium to small tops depending on how I want the clothes to look on me.... Weight is slllllloooooowllly creeping off the closer I get to goal but I am still working it. Hope that everyone is doing fine.... I miss talking to alot of you but I'm just never home anymore. I leave my first job and head directly to my second job 4 days of the week and don't usually get home til close to midnight or sometimes even after that. Just know that I am thinking of all of you and wishing you nothing but the best.... I don't know what I would of done without the support that I got on here especially from a few "special" folks that didn't let me stop fighting the denials. I can't believe how far that I have come in just under one year. It is unFREAKIN'believable! Love happiness and laughter to each and everyone of you... Miss you all..... Elizabeth~ D.F.F.C & a B.O.B. to Msssssss. Betty Boop... (ok girl...think about it...you KNOW what that says.....) love you chicquita!

Hey there! Keep up the great work. Sorry I haven't been in touch much, but just the one job has kept me insanely busy. Sounds like things are going great for you on this. Stay the course, though I know you will. Brief update on my side: I've been at goal for 2 months and am learning to maintain. It's a bit tricky, and I've played in the same 10 pound range, but never really heading up. It just seems weird to constantly eat (it seems that way). Take care again, and I'll give a call when things clear up, The other EC in IN 478/205/205 March 22, 2004
