Nat and Steph yall are right I need to kick myself in the rear and lose the ten lbs. I was nervous about even calling my doc for a unfill because he has been less than pleasing in giving me fills. I ate good yesterday did eat once like a married woman with kids and that was dinner and I let my little men get to me they wanted their mom to eat with them and the same food but it wasn't bad I had couple bites of corn, macaroni and hamburger helper carb overload I know but was just a couple bites today I am making a healthy dinner of taco soup with turkery meat Nat your whips sound awesome I love the buffalo chicken one it was awesome only prob was I wanted a drink I need a kick in the butt to excerise I lost my gym membership because of a fight I had with another skinny lady at my gym over kids of all things but oh well I stood my ground. My husband has a gym in our garage but it is very manly and hard for me to do. boo I am so happy all is well in boob land I know that is a ton of worry of your back

Okay ladies today is a little better so far but it has just started Nat I am excited to hear from you again good job on checking in well I think I need a fill because I can now eat about 2 cups of food when before I was eating 1/2 of a cup. I am still not sure how much I should be able to eat my old doc said 2 cups was really not that much and I don;t need a fill I am just not sure I agree it is so sad that children have to worry about being shot while learning. My heart breaks for the families steph thanks for your words they helped you are alot like me I am a scardy cat too if I am alone and yesterday was a uneasy day any ways I am a little nervous because today I am off to MTSU a large college in TN I always worry about copy cat crimes anywho I wanted to let you know this month issue of Cosmo with carrie underwood on the cover has a whole article on Lap band or they call it gastric banding it was a pretty good article talked about the struggles of becoming a thin person and all the new attention it brings check it out Oh I am not weighing anymore than once a wk I am putting my scales in the garage

Today has been the day from pure hell I called the new doc I was soposse to start seeing in two wks to do my fills because my other doc dropped my insurance. well his nurse called and said they could not take me because not accepting my insurance. I am now without a doctor and need a fill bad. Also I was on my way into the bank and it is super windy today and my ck that was written for almost 400 bucks blew off into the wind I chased it never caught it. I called the bank for a stop pay maybe it will work. I also tried to go out to lunch with hubby things did not go well I threw up because of trying one tiny bite of steak ... also after not snacking for three days what do I get got on the scale gained three lbs ... I am so pissed off right now I have to go scream
