Name your pouch?

I need some fun in my life today, so I thought I'd post this question.... Did anyone besides me name their pouch.  I named mine Irene.  Made me think of one of those grumpy old women that gripe and complain constantly.  If Irene grumbles or hurts, or rejects it's contents I say,  "There goes Irene again..." Tonight it's just me, myself, and Irene.... Ellen

I call her Sassy Cat! She carries on like a mad cat so I named her for one!    How are you? It's so good to see you post.  Hugs

I'm doing okay, considering.  I just don't have it in me to post too much these days, but I know you all understand that.  School is kicking my butt.  I'm doing Visual Basic and I suck at it.  The one good thing to come from this course is the knowledge that programming isn't my future career!  The scales are moving down mostly, they stay for a few days then drop, stay for a few days then drop, etc.  I would be a little steadier I think if I was behaving myself.  During this whole mess, I've unfortunately turned to food for comfort, although not like I did before.  I don't eat too much, just the wrong thing.  I am getting better though. How are you?  You've been quiet lately too!  I've had you on my mind lately wondering if you were alright. Take care. Ellen

I'm good, thanks. I've went back to work and don't have time to post much. The second surgery really took it out of me. I'm still getting tired pretty quick. You look good in the pic! School wouldn't be school if it didn't kick butt!  You will pull it off, no worries. I've been bad myself... Crackers sit so well and help me get in the cheese & peanut butter for protein. YUM! I think it's my fave because it's the only non-mushy thing I can have for two more weeks! Don't worry about the scale. I refuse to weigh now... the 3 pound thing broke my heart.  We will be hiding from all the sexy men soon.  There are better things in store for us!

It gets repeated so often, but I'll say it again.  Go by how the clothes are fitting, not the scale.  Even though it doesn't move for me as fast as I would like, the truth is, it is working.  My clothes are getting very loose.  The few 26 pants I kept are really not wearable these days and the 24s are getting loser.  I have bought a couple of pairs of 22s which I haven't seen in years.  My tops are mostly 2x these days, but I'm starting to move into bigger 1xs.  For me, the best thing is, I'm now small enough to buy bras at Victoria's Secret!  ( My grandmother says Victoria's Secret is that she has no secrets!) In any event, it might not be as fast as I like it, but it is working.  It will work for you too.  Be patient and pee  alot .  As far as the sexy men, the only one I want is the one I'm currently married to.  If that doesn't work, I can't even begin to fathom letting another one get that close.  Except maybe Brad Pitt.   Take care. Ellen

Great new avatar! Looking good, mama! xoxo Mare

Thanks Mare.  I wish I was smiling more, but I liked the shot.  My hair is trying to fall out some, so I picked that one cause it looked better than the other one. Hope all is well with you. Take care. Ellen

Being a LapBander- I call mine Bandit- some days its a terror and some days its the greatest invention ever! I love my Band, I love  my Band, I love my Band!!! ( and the scales reading 188lbs!!!!) Sheila and the Bandit

Congratulations Sheila and Bandit!  I cannot wait til I weigh 188.  That's what I weighed when I got married.  Of course I was pregnant and had gained some weight then too.  Shoot, under 200 would be absolutely wonderful.  It'll come soon enough.  You're doing great! Take care. Ellen

Ellen- you will be in onederland and below 188 in such a hurry! You are doing awesome and I also love your new avatar. You face is SHRINKING! You and Irene have a good night! Sheila
