Congrats on your decision. I was going to ask you on another thread how your small business venture (I replied to your thread asking about small businesses months ago) was going. But I didn't want to hijack the thread.

Sounds like it is going wonderful.

Doing something you really like, that excites and inspires you means you'll never have that "Aw nuts, it's Monday morning" feeling ever again. Isn't that wonderful?

Congratulations and knock 'em dead!

WONDERFUL !!! Now you don't have to put up with that girl in your office who annoys you (the one who eats pizza @ 8 AM and dances as she stuffs her pie hole).

WTG!!!!!

Erin is in pie-Heaven right now because of all the "Let's take Lisa to Lunch" food, the Bagels, donuts, Cookies... why does everyone think they need to feed me before I go? Do I look like I'm wasting away?

Thanks for all the support and encouragement! Nana, there are three kits to chose from so you can start for just a few hundred bucks. But I didn't start Slumber Parties for the money, I just thought it sounded like a fun hobby and I wanted to hang around all the amazing women. I had no idea it would explode into a full time career. The "sisterhood" sounds so cliché' but when you stand among thousands of empowered women, who have all taken control of their lives and destinies without relying on a man for ANYTHING, the confidence and self-esteem grow beyond imaginable proportions.

Last night a woman from the Slumber Advisory Board called me to invite me to a one-on-one dinner to see if there's anything I need help or support with during my transition. This morning another board member, whom I've never met, called me out of the blue to let me know she'll always be there for me (she has 300 women under her but she found time to call me?) The owner sent me e-mails of support, and that's just a few examples. There's no company of the face of the planet that cares so much about seeing women succeed. It's simply remarkable.

Slumber Parties isn't just going to pay the bills, but it's giving me the freedom to chase the rest of my dreams. I have several books started, I want to travel, and I can finally get my letter writing business under control, which I can't do trapped in these gray walls.

      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!!
