LOL TracyK~ I can't smell ya from here! I'll send ya one after this post!

TracyKS~ HELL FREAKIN YEAH GIRLFRIEND! I bet your hair looks smashing (and yes, I wanna see a pix...we all do). Sorry, can I say this....fuck him and the horse he rode in on. I am soooooo glad you cut your hair! I hate it when women lose themselves in relationships. Me, I'd rather lose myself in food, lol! I am sooo freakin proud of you...sending you a high five from California!xoxoxoxo

Speaking of which, I wanted to post something I read, and then re-read today. Powerful stuff from Shrink Yourself: Break Free from Emotional Eating Forever:
"Many people report to me that as they're approaching their goal weight they often saotage themselves and all of their efforts. They wonder why that is. It doesn't seem to make any sense. In fact, you may be able to relate to that experience. The answer, time and again, proves to be simple: if you didn't have your weight to think about your might have to think about what's really bothering you, and that's very frightening. It's frightening because I know that you feel powerless to change the things that really bother you. You've made what I call the "unexamined powerlessness conclusion." It's a conclusion that you're powerless over your feelings and the circumstances in your life that the feelings point toward, so you might as well eat." (Gould, Roger 2007)

I know so many of my violets are successful...but for me (and maybe a few of you) this speaks volumes. Somehow, it is like I don't even wanna lose the weight. Not on a level where I recognize it...just on a level that is deeper than me and my mind. Anyhoo...wanted to share.

Gonna chill before I make tacos...oy!!

xoxooxox

It's amazing how much different one looks with the Weight off... Can't wait. I'll post a before of myself on 6/24. Right before i leave for surgery that morning
