THE MOON IS

....... GOLDEN! ha! GOOSE! oFf To ThE gYm ~`~`~`~`~ * Elizabeth~

I think it could also be called bright yellow... or perhaps ...a golden yellowish ...orange..... but I'm sure there are people out there who know better and can clarify this to the Nth....degree of perfection.. Because one knows there is always one who has the better answers or who can clarify things much better than others..... Because word is that they know everything there is to know about everything.

You skunk! Don't you be talking trash about me again you hear! Oh girlie... my chops are busted tonight for sure... *whew* I need to hit a nice HOT and then slap some "patches" on and hit the .... ..but you KNOW that I just HAD to give you grief. You you.... you BOOPSTER you..... psssssstttt Did you exercise today? Protein? Watch the fat and carbs? Water intake? Ok.. thought that you did. Whatever would I do without you oh great one! You keep life fun and me sane. Well ok, slightly SANE BTW tomorrow I get to hear the verdict on my eating plan from Julie.. she has been reviewing my diet... eeeeeeek (just kidding) I think I am going to do fine... I'M EVEN EATING MY OATMEAL and you KNOW that I absolutely HATE OATMEAL! Elizabeth~ SS for short.... shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

o.k. uuuu...uuuuu...uuuuu... Make me feel bad and awful....you know I was out partying tonight...eating funnel cakes, a bong of beer, lets see what else.....ummmmm....I guess I better look at my book I got from my program and make sure I'm following the diet exactly...because I know I don't want to think I went through this surgery for nothing.... you know that is what makes it a success...right....not supposing I can eat it because someone else could and not get sick....I am so thankful my doctor really made a point of reading, reading, reading the book and totally understanding it....it has really made my successful something I can shout about...

You are just being a wart aren't you? But I wouldn't want you to change one bit. I don't know what I would of done without you there to remind me to keep on the straight and narrow when I wavered a bit. Oh wait a minute ... I never wavered... YEAH RIGHT! Now who is being a wart? It never ceases to amaze me how far we have come yet how far we still HAVE to go... evoluntionary kinda... So far and yet not far enough.... Ciao' chiquata AND.................. DFFCAABOB to you E~

o.k. so no partying tonight...back to the treadmill....and reality.... but I have to confess...I did really good at the party...only ice tea to drink 30 minutes before my meal...4 non-barbeque's chicken wings...and a small salad... and then ice tea again 30 minutes after.. you know conversation is so much better at a party when you are not shoving everything elible at the table and everywhere else in your mouth... Back to reading the good book....even at two years out it is a great resource tool....and guess what it is written by professionals who actually know what they are saying is true....good idea to follow that don't you think.

Betty Isn't it amazing how we can change from how we were before having WLS? Just think... how much would you have eaten prior to having this surgery if you were at the SAME PARTY. It just boggles the mind... you know I have NEVER subscribed to the notion that there is a honeymoon period. This tool is yours to use for the rest of your life.... our bodies might adapt to the malabsorption a bit but the tool is STILL there... we just have to use it and make the necessary HEAD ADJUSTMENTS that go along with the lifestyle. You are doing it and I am SO very proud of you chiquita.... Now tell me I am being a good girl because I'm EATING MY OATMEAL ..and damnit I still don't like it! BLEAH...................... I hope you and Julie are happy! NOT.... go read your book.... you ...you.... WART love ya!~* E
