Well, my youngest is growing up. I am sad and happy all at the same time. This is just one more right of passage. PROM NIGHT!!

He and a gang of his friends all decided to go together as a group. Myself and some of the parents rented a Stretch Limo for them all. Gives us a piece of mind. So all 9 of them met at our house and took some pics then jumped in the Limo for their ride to the Prom.

I am a little choked up about this. I am surprised that this is affecting me as much as it is. But man do I have a handsome son. Well you be the judge.

I forgot to mention that he won three awards on Senior Grad Night.

1= Chemistry

2= Physics

3= I can't remember now what the third one was.

So incredibly proud of him.

OLD! Bite your tongue Paula. Just wait your turn is coming. I am fighting that rocking chair and wheel chair every step of the way. They all came back to the house after the Prom and hung out here. I was heading to bed but they wanted me to hang with them for awhile and just chit chat. Pretty cool. Even Bradley wanted me to stick around. WOW!!

I just am filled with Pride for him. He graduates on the 22nd of this month. Then he goes right into college at ITT TECH.

Wow the 22nd that's late for school getting out isn't it? Our school is out already. I hired a couple of high school kids last week to help us move, they finished on Tues and Wed last week. The last district to finish here in Chicago land area is the 13th and that is because there was a teacher strike back in the fall.

He is a great looking young man and I am sure he had girls lined up to dance at prom. You should be proud, good looks, brains and he sounds like a gentleman to boot. My husband is the exact same way and I wouldn't change him for the world. He will make a fine man, and that is mostly thanks to you. ~Mandy

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
