Ah, yes - I remember it well !!!!  May I please print this off and share with my support group.  It will have your picture and info as it appears here.  If you'd rather I didn't please don't hesitate to say so - I will not be the least bit offended. 

Oh no Happy, I don't mind at all!

Thanks so much - you;re a dear

Ok, I can honestly say that I have NEVER wanted to wear "thigh highs".

Wayne - You made me laugh and laugh here  

And that is a good thing! 

Dreamgirl --
I remember these goals.  When I get depressed about my "bounce back" weight, I pull out my size 22 jeans ****pt one pair) and try them on.  They remind me of how far I have come, and how important it is for me to remember to keep up the fight.

Great list.
