1 week musings....

I did the same thing Pam. I packed my winter clothes into boxes. I was going to give them away, then my very sweet 12 year old daughter said: "But Mom, what if you gain the weight back?" That damned voice in my head said: "Yeah, what if you do?" So I put them in the basement.

I hope they are literally falling off by fall, then I WILL give them away. Can't go back.

Congratulations on doing so well.  I don't think you are an odd ball.  My experience was very similar to you.  I think we hear more from the people that are having issues, because it is natural to share frustration and ask others for support and information.  If things are going well, there is not as much motivation to post about it.  Thanks for the update, and welcome to the losers' bench!

Thank you!!! I'm on the losers bench!!!! OMG!

I'm not saying I have been perfect....... There were those promises for a steak the other night ;)

Congrats! Sounds like you're doing great. I remember feeling the same way. About a week after my surgery I went to support group and remember saying that I didn't think the surgeon did anything (just kidding of course) and the facilitator said that I could go try and eat a cheeseburger and fries to test it out, obviously he was joking. Keep up the good work!
