Thank you and an update
Thanks to every person who supported me during at a time when I just couldn't eat. I want you all to know how very very much I appreciate the support.
Today I was able to eat. I had an entire package of bacon and 3 fried eggs, a chicken burger with bacon and cheese (no bread),sweet potato fries and my favorite: fried cheese (French Toast).
I have a new laptop and it is acting crazy. It puts letters I type in all sorts of places and not where the cursor is. And the print is so small I can't see it. Oh well. Technology.
I went to the doctor today and he said I was too thin. I still need to loose 5 lbs to fit in all my clothes and to give me room for a little bounce back. I bought a swim suit at Target today. Woot!

I'm so glad you're feeling better, Becky.

Glad you are better, Becky.
As long as your BMI is above the low end...go for it!
Is your laptop brand new or just new to you? If still brand new, is it under warranty? They may be able to help, doesn't sound normal to me. As to the size of the print, depends on what laptop it is and which operating system (Windows, Mac, or Linux) as to where you go to adjust the size of the type. In windows, when you reboot and get the sign on screen, there should be an "Ease of Access" type button, click on it and adjust away!

I tried for a long time to loose a little. I was working with YorkieGirl (remember her?) and I never could loose a single pound. Having to go buy larger clothes right before Thanksgiving was so demoralizing that it kicked me in to gear. I am wearing almost all my clothes now, just a couple pair of pants are too tight that must have been from my very low weight days. I never expect or even want to be that size but I am happy to be MY size again. Our trip is in less than 2 weeks and I have a bunch of cute things to wear.

Glad to hear you are feeling better. But thought you said you had reached goal. Are you going 5lbs below goal fro the bounce back?
Hell I don't even know what my goal was. My goal now is to be under 150. I get there for a day and then bounce back. I think I had gotten up over 160 (I wouldn't weigh) before Thanksgiving so I am thinking I have lost at least 10 lbs since then. I would like to get to 145 so I have 5 to gain on my trip and still be okay but that is not likely to happen in the time I have left. That just means that I will have to stay low carb on the trip. Boo Hiss. LOL
