REALLY???

Tooooo funny Sue.  STOP GRAZING... or I'll have to build a pen around you.   rofl!!!

My seeester told me once, "I don't have an eating problem Ruthie.  I know why I eat.  I... Like... The... Taste... of... Food"

Until she developed diabetes 10 years ago.  She switched to a vegan diet overnight and 3 months ago broke her hip in 5 places by bending over to open the door to the dishwasher.  Did NOT fall.  It just SNAPPED!  Goes to show you, in spite of her protests that she gets plenty of protein and calcium, that was not true with her vegan diet.  Can't tell her nuttin' though.

So, when in June is your Birthday?  Liz's is in June too I think.  Mine is in July.  We're all rapidly approaching senior LW status.  LOL!

Have a good day!

Good point Ruthie.  When I'm busy I forget to eat, when I'm bored, look out. 

My birthday is June 21 (first day of summer!)

Sue

Sue, mine is the 16th so we aren't QUITE an even number of years apart.

I'll be 57 then. :) Don't feel that old tho.

Liz

Hey Sue thanks!  I LOVE THE TASTE OF FOOD TOO!......LOL  Amazingly I love it MORE now than I did when I was more concerned with quantity than quality!.......Hey I need to remember that when i have this chat with my mom.......lol

BTW see my reply to Jody......

I do love my Mom and will support her no matter what........she's too far away for me not too.......LOL

my goodness!!!  the "56'ers" in this group look a lot younger than this "52'er"!!!!  you girls look terrific!!

and...Heather.....would love to chat with your mom!  and.....her "doctor"!!!  i know that if i gain weight it's nobody's fault but mine!  surely a physician could figure that out too!!!  hmmmmm!

Thank you Thank you!!  I would say "Photoshop" but I'm too old to know how to use it. 

I do but not to adjust people's looks...I just barely can use it.

Liz

Bring her on, Heather!  She and I probably have/had a lot in common.

I hope you can help your mom to make a decision that works for her.  I wish there were a magic pill, but there is not it takes work even with WLS.  I hope that Dr gets better educated!  Ugh!  good luck, Heather.

So at 62, I really am old enough to be your mother.  And I was 4'11", 220 at the beginning of all this.  I'd be happy to "chat" with her about how my life is different than it was and my lifestyle changes.
