Patrece has been talking with me on the phone.  She asked me to pass on her thoughts of everyone.  She is going through some personal issues, just moved monday and has no internet access.  She will be without internet access for awhile yet. 

She wishes everyone all the best.  Take care yourselves, do something nice for others.

 Well, I'm down to 298 today.  Been busy, but am making the effort to dedicate more time to me, which isn't easy at all.

I have a non-scale victory.  This mean old seamstress, who can't sew, was trying to blame my weight and fat body on how bad the dress she was making looks.  Normally this would make me cry my eyes out because I'd feel bad about my weight.  But honestly, I didn't let that woman get me down.  I've come too far and lost too much weight to let someone make me feel like I'm less just because of her lack of skill and abundance of fat prejudice.  I'd say it was more of a victory if I'd told her off, but I didn't have the heart to.  I just shrugged her off and tried to focus on the dress.  But I feel proud of myself in that I didn't let her get to me.

The other celebration in my mind is that I'm under 300.  I haven't psychologically accepted it yet, and probably won't until I've gone to Saturday still under 300.  But you guys will be privvy to the fact that I've been under 300 since Thursday.  

Kathy, I understand completely. That's why I'm staying off line for a little while.  Looks like no one is interested anyway.   Hugs   Mag

You are welcome, journalling, blogging, getting our thoughts on paper ( or virtual paper) helps.  I go back from time to time and reread things that I posted as I went through the preop process.  Reading these, I discover how far I have come, I celebrate my success.  It is amazing how we grow during the process and I am not talking pounds of growth, but the mental growth that we need!!!

Hugs

Thank you Rose.  I needed to read it too.  I will continue to share things with my friends.  Hugs
