It's a welcome sight and good feeling for sure! I'm glad I'm not the only one surprised by this!

...it's been a long time since we've been friends. Welcome back!

Congratulations! I am down 50 so far and am thinking about going off birth control in the spring. I want to be at least under 175, but not to my goal of 145 when I start trying. I've been reading s lot about pregnancy and lap band, though, and it's mostly been very encouraging! Banded 4/17/12, on my way to the real me!

That's awesome! That's my goal for the end of the month, good for you! Banded 4/17/12, on my way to the real me!

Wow, does that make you pause. For me, I was 13 and the town where my grandmother had a summer cottage was having a Centennial. There were events all summer, but for the 4th of July they were having a "Miss Canadohta Lake" pageant. Everyone was excited and my grandma specifically looked at my sister and cousin and asked them to enter. I was standing RIGHT THERE and she wouldn't even look me in the eye. I was devastated. However, as previous posters have said, that was the catalyst but it was ME who hid food. I was the one who ate my feeling for the next 16 years. And now, it's ME who is taking control of the situation and righting all those years of mistakes. Thank you for bringing this up. I had forgotten about that day, but it is important to remember because it is part of what made me who I am today. A confident (or getting there) woman, mother and wife.

Good for you! Congratulations!

Thanks everyone, I really appreciate it!
