Darn it im four lbs up again !!

I don't know you and I haven't been around all that long but your profile pic looks very beautiful and you seem to be a beautiful person all round.  I also appreciated all your skin care tips and I bought some 2% salicylic acid this weekend (in an exfoliating skin scrub).

Don't you do something in fashion for a living?  Am I right that you model?  So, I am thinking you are really hard on yourself but I realize it must be an occupational hazard.

Anyway, take heart and my prayer is for you to feel healthy and beautiful and have a terrific week.

P.S.  I have been having my "food funeral" for the last 2 weeks and I have to buckle down now to get ready for my VSG on 9/23/10.   I have made a lot of changes over the last few months but not made much progress at all in the weight loss arena.  

I am starting to doubt all the science I have every heard about weight. The numbers just don't add up. Hang in there and journal everything that you eat. I know that helps me. Good job on getting in the water too. Perhaps you were dehydrated to start with and your body is now fully hydrated??? I dunno! Try not to stress too much, but I totally get it. Surgery or no surgery, this is still our burden.

 U know Jessica ..I was  thinking the same thing ..... so I really was heavier all along ..only I didn't KNOW it ....    

U know what ..in the end its only a few lbs ...... small stuff ( unless it grows into big stuff)  . Unfortunately everyone i know  is telling me i LOOK bigger which is no balm to my already shaky self esteem.... 

but I AM  working fashion week and WALKING ...so THERE .  Its as a plus size ( and the clothes are FOURS - and the pay sucks .....) but im glad to be working ..very glad .....

Thanks everyone for Ur kind support - U are such WONDERFUL  friends !! 

seriously? plus size modeling a size 4, that is the most insane and cruel thing I have ever heard.
