Smiley Face: In Red

Well , I went to my PCP this morning. I had a few ( issue's) that needed to be addressed.

I have a whole bunch of small moles on my back that have popped up in the last 6 months and I was a bit concerned.  I just love my doc. He said:  I see nothing to be worried about. Thoes moles are just age spots, and Peggy dear,You have them because you are luckie enough to reach the age when  spots start to appear.  I will gladly wear my age spots with pride. Next month, I will reach my 2 1/2 years post WLS.  I know that I would have to get on the scale at the doc's this morning.  Gee's, it's been more then 6 months since I last weighed myself.Just didn't want to see the results.......Wellllllll, I 'm here to tell you that WLS works.  I've lost another 5 pounds in that 6 months.  For me , the summer time is also helpful. I get out and move my tinny hiney, LOL. The hateful Fibro has left me alone for the last month or so, I'm moving easier, life is good. The smile is plasted on this Ol' Granny face.  I truely hope that this day brings you all love, good health and a bucket full of Spice. Go spred the Joy.  Peg in:  Bright , Bodacious , Bouncing, and so very happy to show off my Age Spots, Red

and I might add, red suits you!  Congrats on 5 more lbs., as well as being healthy and so very happy,  Laureen

Laureen, I really was so surprised ro see the direction the scale went this morning.  I thought for sure I would have gained, eating out and eating someone elses cooking for 3 weeks had me scared.  Thanks for your kind words, Peg

Peg, I am so glad that your Fibro myalgia is better. Do you think it has anything to do with your absence of artificial sweetners? I have a friend w3ho has FM and I would love to be able to help her out. Love, Marti ps congrats on your slow but sure weight loss.

Marti, I just came in the livingroom to take a break. After this mornings appt. our bedroom was whispering, paint me,.Three walls are covered in a darker tan, the trimming is next.  The fourth wall will be  a cool mellow reddish tone, nice. So anyway, as I was sitting here reading post's , there you came on. The answer about the sweetner is short and easy to tell.  I stayed off the stuff for a month or more.  When I look back , I didn't see that using , or not using Slenda has made any differance. I did try using Stevia, just couldn't get past the bad aftertaste.  Some people I've talked to about Stevia haven't had any problem with the taste.  I do use Splenda with my coffee and Iced tea.  Haven't started back drinking Diet Soda that much.  I've had a few, at this point in my life I'd rather have the tea. I'm still a fan of Bio-Feedback for my Fibro pain, works for me. I don't use pain meds if I can get by with out.  I'm retired , so when the Fibro gets to a point that I just can't handle it, I lay down and sleep the pain away.  As I mentioned before, I'll have some wine or a beer, helps to relax the tight muscles, so I can rest.  Sure hope your friend finds the things that work for the Fibro. Thanks for your kind words, Peg

Peg, That is just wonderful!!! You are so positive and shinny bright! I had good news at a health screening at work today and was floating on cloud 9. Never happened before...having labs send me over the top...in a good way! Thanks for sharing! Cheryl
