Well today was a day!! No fill for me. :frown: but I am ok with it. I was not down enough since my 2 week pcp check up. Although I am 12 lbs down from surgery that wasnt enough. This really was a wake up call for me that even a little cheat means something so STOP. Although im glad I was able to enjoy my wedding and honeymoon Im a little bummed I wasnt able to get one. Oh well gotta move on. So the Doc said he wants to see me again in 12 weeks However .....here is some news.... I am moving to WA on May 1st. Yup so no more Kaiser. So I called Richmond and told them and asked if I bust my butt if I can see Doc and get a fill in 6 weeks before I leave. They sch me an appointment for april 30th, so I will do what I need to get a fill... I will still be on this board when I move and come visit. Its just things are going good with my Hubby in WA and he wants to stay so I do what I have to, to be with him. JOhn you didnt warm him up enough for me lol Kidding. Pat, still on for tomorrow do you mind if I bring a newbie friend of mine. SHe goes to orientation on the 6th? Jes, if you arent going to be there can you PM me your address I have something for you.... Hope everyone is having a good day see ya'll tomorrow

Like I said Tam Tam pick yourself up, dust yourself off and move forward! This isnt a miracle its a tool and we just have to learn how to use it the right way. YOU can do it YO!! One day at a time. Like Pat said we all need this hang out Saturday. I had a good day today not one bad choice. First day since a week ago so Im thinking im back on track. Got a wedding cash gift from someone today so I went shopping and got some good, healthy stage 4 appropriate things. Bought cheese tho I am still on a cheese kick IDK why lol. So like I said one day at a time. Im freaking out that I havent lost enough to get a fill so im eating light these next couple days. Still strong at 207 so I have to make sure Im at least that on Friday so its 10 lbs. Cross your fingers. John have fun for Nikki's bday weekend and yes It probably is a week I usually take the whole month lol.. But thats just me. I just wanted to say real quick thanks for all the pictures from the wedding they are FANTASTIC!! I love them lots of fun memories! Missin my hunny big time, need some girl time this weekend.
