I know exactly what you mean. 'Course I've been thrift shopping like a demon for months - I have a full wardrobe in every size down from where I'm currently at. My full bedroom closet is segregated into LH and RH sides. On the left, I have everything that I'll need ten pounds from now - as well as I can guess. Y'know - stuff that's just a bit tight or small. (I try on clothes a LOT). When it finally fits, I moved it into the right hand side, and it becomes part of my everyday wardrobe, until it has to be folded up for Goodwill. Right now, I am wearing medium tops and size 8 pants, mostly, but this morning, I tried on a pair of 6's from the LH side, and I am sitting here in them. Joy!
You, my dear, are doing fabulously! You simply rock the joint!

We really are! I think we're losing in different places. I still have to wear a medium shirt, because I still carry so much in my back, but I'm wearing my first size 6 jeans today - and comfortably!
I'm glad I have you as my friend as we rock this journey together! Love ya!

Yvonne - remember when I said I wanted to keep my long hair? Oh, what a changeable mind I have!! But I think this is very chic and it's very, very easy. Loving it short, too!

Topic: RE: What do you do to stop the "negative"
I have to be away this morning for a while but will get right back in when I get back but I had to show you something regarding clay! The lady is about 2 inches tall and I did her face from clay and painted the eyes, mouth, lashes. The flowers are clay too.
Unicorn
A little angel doll, I put every strand of hair in her head
A moose
A logger Santa Claus
And finally a lady made from ceramic that I draped a necklace on but made the flowers from clay
OK, one more....my hippie guy
And when I get back I'll tell you about my flashcards that I do too. Is this the kind of clay you are playing with?? Mine is polymer clay.
Be back soon!
hugs, Y

Topic: RE: New member introduction
I asked Sharon to post this here so it won't get lost in the introduction thread. We've got to help her understand that she didn't get the necessary education in order to keep that regain off and so now it's time to fix it. How brave she is to tell her story and in a way the high school reunion can be used to her advantage because accountability keeps us in line. I hope you'll join me in wrapping your arms around her and tell her she has not failed....only slipped and we'll get her back in no time!

Topic: New member introduction
Hello to all from Western Iowa. I had my RNY surgery Feb. 9, 2004. Highest weight and my surgery weight was 257, got down to around 174 and now I'm back up to 203. I joined this group for support because I feel that when I don't follow a diet plan to the T that I am a failure. I need support to get down to a healthier weight. I joined OH back in 2004 but left it until recently.
I have been married for almost 18 years to one heck of a guy and with this marriage I have been blessed with 2 wonderful kids. My son is 16 and my daughter is 12.
I decided to have the surgery back in 2003 because I thought I was going to die of a heart attack and would not be around to raise my kids. I had a hard time tieing my shoes, putting on socks, wiping my bum and more. I would sweat while trying to put on makeup. Most of all, I owed it to my husband to become healthier as this was not the woman he married nor intended to be married to. I became lazy and unable to control my eating habits and patterns as well as food choices. This surgery gave me the greatest TOOL in fighting against obesity.
It's now up to me to continue on the weight loss journey and to lose the extra 53 lbs I still have. I am ready to achieve this goal b/c my 20 year class reunion is this summer so I hope to have some of it gone by then.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to post to the group and I look forward to future communications.
Happy losing!
