That happened to me too! But you are so right. It will start up again. You are on your way.

Thanks Diane! It's going to take a while before I can catch up with you kiddo ... if I ever do. You are looking awesome yourself.

I look forward to seeing you again soon.

Hey Candice!

Thanks sooo much! Remember I told you that I thought was a lot slimmer in the hips than I had been ....? Well, the measurements bear it out. My gross measurements used to be 49 - 45 - 52, now I'm 44 - 35 - 41. It sooo weird. I guess that's why I can wear a size 10 in my pants and I still need "Large" top.

I wonder if I'll ever get down to 36 - 26 - 36 ... probably not, but a girl can dream!

Love you too!

Barb

You are the one who inspires me. You are the reason I went to Curves this morning. So thanks for the inspiration dear!

Love,

Barb

Barb-  You are another one that is so inspiring.  Actually there are so many on here I need to write everyone.  But Barb you are doing so great.  I read your post last night and I was so worried about you.  I didn't know whether to post or not.  I was sad because I felt how sad you really were.  You were uncomfortable.  I am so very releived that today is better.  This is great news.  Just great. 

Like I told Suzanne I am so happy about my surgery date and I am thrilled that all of you have been here with me  through this stage.  It is because of people like you that has given so much great information that makes all of this family of OH worth it.  This NC board is a wonderful place to come.   NOW....lets get really serious and talk about these inches....can I get a high five!!!   ^5  woo hooo that is incredible.  and did I hear Candice say a size 10 jeans....oh my goodness.  YOU GO!!! That is what I call....THERAPY!!   Just keep saying it over and over...size 10 jeans size 10 jeans ! You are doing great!  Connie

Thanks so much for all of your support! You are so very sweet.

I want you to know that I appreciate your concern, but don't worry about me. I would never hurt myself or anything like that. It's just that sometimes the cloud of depression gets pretty opressive. It isn't gone by any means, but some sunlight is filtering through now and then ... and a little sunlight is a good thing.

Re: the size 10's ... right now, most of my slacks, pants, jeans are 12's ... but I have a few "vanity" 10's in there too. I figure if they make 'em and I can wear 'em then I must be a size 10/12. ;-)  And as you say, that's great therapy!

Thanks again for all your support. I look forward to supporting you through your journey as well.
