  1. A friend of mine once gave me some great advice....practice on guys that your not interested in, this way your more relaxed and can master the art of flirting before someone your into comes your way. Good luck. My single days were someo the best days of my life.

  11. Ughhhh.... Relationships can be so stressful. First as women I know we can tend to bare the brunt or responsibility and stress, without even being told. So I'd say don't automatically assume any additional stresses. Because your bf took a big paycut don't pick up any additional financial responsibilities. Trust me I've done this with my husband and it just gets worse. This is one reason me my husband have separate finances. I can easily graze all day if I allow myself. Maybe you can up your exercise to supplement your extra calorie intake? Or find some other activity to occupy your mind. However I feel the best option for you is to be honest let your bf know that his insecurities are really stressing you out and potentially ruining the relationship. This is something you should be very vocal about, don't do it durning a heated (argument) moment. I've noticed that a lot of time I expected my husband to know how i felt or why I was mad, this is unfair on my part. So I now am very detailed with my husband I tell him what bothers me, why it bothers me, and what I think can be done to aliviate my frustrations. Best of luck to you!!!
  12. Hello lisa... Great story. Any questions on your mind ask away. I'm 4.5 months post op -76 pounds down from my heighest weight is 298. No regrets, I feel great. This procedure has totally revamped my relationship with food. It is a process and it can be frustrating at times, but it is so worth it.
  13. I love ceviche you can make it with pretty much anything, I love adding avacado in mine for an extra kick. I eat mine with crackers, but I'm sure it would be just as good with toast. It's pretty easy to cook, pretty much like juice with shrimp and onions, I'm sure if you google it you will find a more precise recipe. Also have you tried Mexican style shrimp cocktail? That's pretty good and nutritious. I also make shrimp and cheese taco on corn tortilla. I also make cajun pasta...which is seafood seasoned with Cajun spices and Alfredo sauce. I only eat the sauce and seafood....no pasta for me Hope this helps...
  14. That looks soo good!!! I'm gonna try it out!!
  15. I'm 4.5 months post op and -76lbs. I'm 5'7" my highest weight was 298.
  16. Wow you look great... Looks like you lost a lot of inches in your hip area...yeah!! You also look younger!!!
  17. I hope you get better soon. Sucks that your having all these complication, however it does seem as though your doctor is a good person as he seems to be genuinely concerned for you. Best of luck.
  18. Wow....you look great!! Really great.
  19. Congrats...you look awesome. You literally look like half the person.

    Your have got some talent there. I love it. I wish I could do my make up all the time. I just feel like make up can be time consuming, but I do love make up.
