Congratulations on a life changing year. I've followed your path since you had surgery the month before me and with the same surgeon. I have learned a lot about under eating and planning my food for the day from you. I am fortunate that I do not have hunger as you have; I just have to deal with head hunger.

I want to thank you for sharing so much info with this site. You have been so supportive and helpful to so many here. I can sympathize with you about the cheese and almonds. I love them too.

Your goal is getting closer, that's so exciting. and your pictures; what a difference. I can see why your neighbor thought you were a different person.

Thank you.. I'm so glad you find the information I share useful. For me just having the surgery was not enough. I have had to change my relationship with food, get serious about exercise and deal with a lot of my emotional issues.

It's been a lot of work but finally is paying off because I have a powerful ally in my sleeve. It's a whirlwind but I'm just trying to enjoy the ride. Hugs!

Congratulations on your progress, truly amazing! Sorry you have had such a tumultuous year. Sounds like you have found a way to deal with all of the turmoil in a healthy way. That is really remarkable and such a gift to yourself. There will always be "stuff" to deal with in life. The trick is how to deal with the stuff. Sounds like you are doing great!
I also want to thank you for all of your support. You were so kind to me when I was off to San Francisco to have my surgery. Thank you for offering to be there to help me. I appreciate your help and wealth of knowledge.
Thanks!

Thank you Happy Girl! I'm so glad to have been able to support you.. you are doing fantastic! It has been quite a year but that which does not kill us makes us stronger. I have always feared change and stayed with many things in life far too long because of it. So embracing change is so new to me... but such a powerful strong feeling! I feel so alive.. like I'm ready to burn the world up with my presence.
