I found my old friend



Recommended Posts

I found my old friend this morning. I step on the scale and it read 198. Have not seen that in 20 years, since blowing by the first time. Hopefull I'm blowing by in the right direction. Down 52 since Nov. 5th., I love my sleeve. :D Very happy to be in onderland!!!

Your comment about speeding by reminded me of a comment made to me by a dear friend years ago. Although the comment seems brutal, especially coming from a friend of the opposite sex, I took it with the humor intended.

I was pitifully thin following a divorce in the late 80's, just all big dark eyes and long stringy neck, nothing left of me really. Then I met my soul mate, married, and you know the rest of the story. Our lives revolved around fine wine and good cooking and lying around in bed a lot :wub:

I ran into said old friend after I'd been remarried a while, and he said to me quite candidly and with dry humor, "Linda, you used to be too thin. There's a happy medium, you know, but you just sped right past it!"

To this day for some reason that still strikes me as funny!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
