Thanks Chris-- I blame Columbus Ohio for some of the weight--- back in the 70s, it was American Pie Pizza and Tommy's, and cinnamon ice cream at Culter's on Lane Avenue in Upper Arlington that made me what I was a few short years ago. ;)

You gotta admit, the ladies at Talbots will like me so much bettah now. We need to go drop in on 'em in a minth or so-- I am a 10 with my eyes on an 8 when the swll hell finally subsides, which might be sometime in April at this rate.

I was wearing 10-12s before the PS, and those can't even get past my thighs at the moment. ;) I'll never be as widdle as you, Bronski-- well, until I do the next and final round of skin removal-- which financially is looking like it'll be somewhere around quarter-after-notanytimesoon. ;)

Do you know, that's the first thing I thought of?  You looked so great in that Talbot's dress - and now, you'd have the hot arms to really rock it properly.  Here's a reminder!

I can't wait to see you!  Glad you're recovering well and having fun with your blowout days.  I'm tightening the belt on the summer indulgence-fest.

My gut doesn't pooch now, either, and no saggy rack. I've bought nine 60s style shifts and scooter dresses this week. ;) About goddamn time!

My belt's re-tightened too. Just one fun weekend. Will have another in about 3 weeks, and labor day. but I like the daily structure as much as I like the excursions...I'm crazy that way.

Yeah, I'm digging the structure right now.  The way I figure it is, if you don't have structure, you don't appreciate vacations from it nearly as much.

I'm soooooo envious of your perky rack and flat belly!!  I'm working the jiggle-in-the-middle look now, and lemme tell ya, it only works for a small, kinky subset of my fans...

And I wanna see those dresses, 'cause I saw one the other day that was Shari-tastic and nearly bought it.  It would've fit you, too, 'cause it was a size 8!

Oh, and by the way, how does the single-digit size thing feel to you?  You're probably more philosophical about it than I was, because, for me, it was a major fist-pump, "YEAH, *****ES!!!" kinda moment.

I'm still a size 10 or better-- in fact the Calvin Klein dress was a 12 that I had tailored. While the chest, belly and arms are great, the ass is swollen and wide as ever---- that's gotta wait until I hit the lotto. I am out of cash, and we're not going to have a new contract this year, so there won't be any money anytime too soon. So the shirts are loose at the top to accomodate the hips more often than not.

Can't say the size thing means much, you're right. It is what it is, kinda. I just like not having all the rashy itchy floppy skin.

You're still swollen.  I've heard it takes (sorry) a couple months to get back to normal.  I'd be happy to be wrong, though!

I know about the money thing - we got hit with a 2.5% cut in pay, then another 2% cut because they're making us take furlough days, and having to pay 50% more for our healthcare.  UGH.  I've got to save for a trip to England next summer, too.  Our 20 year anniversary present to ourselves.
