    How are people paying for plastics?

    Just had a TT consult this AM my doc gives 10% off for cashier check. Better keep saving! Apparently I'm a good candidate ( he said I was nice- I said you tell every one that- he said he would operate on hitler or Charles Manson if dying ha due to ethics ) Anyway. A little lift for the girls and a flatter stomach. Sounds ok at 60 gulp

    Another step for her (and your) freedom. It a a step up in maturity when mom can't run on over and instantly help. Love my boys. .... However I don't want to live with them !

    MarieM. And. JWMe. Thanks for your posts. We have burdens. But not so much insulation, huh? JWM. It is a real growth opportunity to travel. Maybe study foreign language? But moms are programmed to worry. I Just surrounded mine with love and light. I tried this when he went to Brazil ....really looked forward to texts and face time⏰worried A lot Marie. Lots of crisis with elder parents ...seem very stressful... My Dad has been bed bound for almost 5 years and new problems happen Guess life has its own issues. I am thinking of my cyber gal pals with thoughtfulness????
  17. I certainly tried ....thanks Mom for taking me to get diet pills at 11. Prob 8-10 lbs overweight. That is all she knew and image meant a lot to her Sigh Fast forward to 2006. Been on Ww, Horse urine (bizarre), liquid only medifast, keep going. I could lose a bit. But NEVER STAYED OFF. That is my issue with the million $ diet industry that does not work or we would all be thin after a few attempts. Huh? This works for YEARS for me. No fighting with my mind and hunger. What a relief????????????

    New Year, New DECADE!

    HurrAh. Another successful bander over 10 years. Apparently some older bands didn't hold up well. My doc says my type can stay as long as I wish. Over 8 years no prob but pbing. Mostly my fault when I think I need late snack. Not binge. Just nothing late works well but protein drinks. Oh well

    No One In The Sixties?

    Ps. I go to group personal trainer. Split up it is reasonable and I have to go because IT COSTS ME MONey AND I AM WORTH IT. Going on 8 years with her and my group. People often don't show and I do some personal classes when I have money

    No One In The Sixties?

    Good luck!!! It can be a long road but I think totally works. Weight doesn't come back. That is the best I think
