Bone stuck!

Well it's been a while since I posted so I thought I'd report on how I've been. I'm down to a size 14:thumbup:wow! Never thought I'd see that size again. Anyway I went to Florida for vacation a couple weeks ago. Had a great time except near the end. I went to a rib place and ate some ribs I felt something get stuck. Nothing weird about that, but felt a little different. it wouldn't go away and it kind of hurt. Usually when I get something stuck I can't eat for a little while well after this

I want to quit this diet, but I cant. But now Im seeing how much I used food and am finally getting to know who I am (without food) and it's not easy. I now am trying to depend on food for nutritian

Ok here goes. Im a 41 wife and mother of four, 22, 21, 8, & 6. A grandmother of two, 2 and 6m. I have survived a hystorectomy, and cancer of my kidney.
