Lucky kids and colleagues @MsTipps!

Our next door neighbors were from Winston Salem & brought Moravian Sugar Cake in the summer. Dang those empty calories!

@366mike Where in NC? Growing up my family had a house in Linville, NC. Spent my summers there.

I live in SC and people here take refusal of their home cooking as a personal affront. If it's something so yummy that I'm dying to try, I'll take a bite. Then go back to my office and eat what I packed in my personal cooler. lol

Yaaayyy to hear you say you wouldn't regret your decision ever. I tell people I would do it a hundred times over to get me jump started on a new life. For me, the real work started after surgery. Finding a new groove on eating and working out, and saying no to well-meaning work colleagues who push food.

Hi Mike. Wow, what a difference! Congrats on your hard work and thank you for posting about something familiar to me. Spatially, it's weird to see my smaller body in the seat of my Honda, to slide into a restaurant booth, to cross my legs, and to park far away and enjoy the walk. My mind struggles daily to catch up with my body size and I still try on clothes that are too big. How awesome that you have a supportive son and I'm sure he's glad to have a healthier dad. My daughter recently got married and fitting in her wedding dress was insane to me. Every day is a struggle that I'm thankful for.

Hey there. Don't settle for that if you're not comfy. Sigh me up for hiking/coffee. I'm post-op 12 years and haven't given up yet on becoming friends first. Just saying.
