Use scarves and jewelry to add color to outfits How we look effects how we feel thats true for a size 2 or 22 the body you live in is the one you own and it is carrying you through life make the most of it treat it like a temple honor it love it and that will help feel good. i know small women single digit sizes who hate there butts thighs stomach noses etc everyone wants to change something I am challenging you to fake it till you make it visualize how you would feel if you were 200 pounds or 150 and love yourself now the same way.

If it were only so...

They whole process was very smooth with Bauman. I worked with another surgeon in Charlotte and had the worst time getting any answers or callbacks.  Bauman's staff is great. Love Amy to death!  I haven't followed their plan/program to a T.. I'm probably about as non-compliant as they come.  The surgery has taught me how to be "normal", in that my portions are the proper size or smaller and the types of foods I eat are nutritious. I still partake of the normal indulgences, but a single serving is more than satisfactory.  Alas, the trip is not over yet. I still have a great chance of regain and all the other shenanigans, but so far things are working fantastic and I'm happy.

my mother and aunt bought large amouts of that full bar stuff, its sitting in the closet, nasty tasting stuff.  we have tried all sorts of stuff.  nothing works, its just a matter of doing it.  that is the hard part.   

i weigh over 650 and so far i am too big for all table that are near that i have checked out.  i went to a dietician today got the post op diet, i had the vertical banded gastroplasty in 2002 and want a revision into whatever they can do.  so here i am.  i got some sensa and have been using it when i remember and i seem to want to eat less later after i use it.  but i don't know if it is really that or not.  just wanted to say hi and here i am.
