My Barix Babies - thanks!
I LOVE when I have off and no family obligations when I get my butt to BArix. Especially the Saturday meetings because of the small time specific groups.
It was GREAT meeting new people in person as opposed to just the boards.
It was PHENOMENAL getting together with my "group" of 1+ years out and hearing same things that I am going through or have gone through and realize I'm still "normal". And it is a fight, and will be a fight, for the rest of my life, but I have an amazing support system to get me through it.
Aaaaannnndd.....for those of you who complimented me. I can't thank you enough. Of course, as I said yesterday....I don't see it most days, and CERTAINLY didn't see it yesterday. I mentioned that when I put on my shirt yesterday it was an immediate "fat" day. All I saw was the damn muffin top/extra skin I have in my abdomen. And all you people saw was "a really tiny girl" (yes lisa, I know, I know...I AM tiny. You tell me all the freaking time) Funny thing? The ONLY reasons I didn't change that shirt prior to leaving the house? Was A) I was running late enough as it was and B) I KNEW I was going to Barix and I KNEW that you wouldn't care what the heck I looked like, as long as I was there to be part of the support. And that's the best feeling in the world. I thought about all the comments I got for the majority of my way to jersey yesterday. And it helped. It didn't "cure" me, lol, but it helped. And that, in conjunction with the meeting, is certainly something I needed.
Thank you ALL from the bottom of my heart, as always :)

Instead of complaining that the rosebush has thorns, be happy that the thorn bush has roses. 
You're tiny!Had to do it..
While you were at Barix getting the wonderful support, I was visiting CONJUNCTION JUNCTION! It was important for me to say that, too, since you said "in conjunction with the meeting". You put the song in my head... LOL
Seriously.. glad you got extra support yesterday and you are right. Nobody at Barix gives 2 craps about a little bitty muffin top. They just care that you were there.
My tracker
hers 
I wanted to come but had other promises made before I realized it was the first sat. of month...I also enjoy getting together with all the vets over a year to see what struggles they are having and they are normal.....I start a new one today.....I will have my corset trunk plasty done on the l7th of may and today I am starting on liquid diet till then, they didn't ask me too, but I want to load up on protein and also if possible shed a couple pounds and wish me luck...got a case of EAS cartons, which I love and will be slugging them everytime I really want something else....lol....hope next month I can get down to barix, all depends on how I am moving....should be fine though by then....................................
