Cathy I always lied through my teeth :P

Lol sometimes there would be my picture there looking like the stay puff marshmallow man and the weight would say 150 :D

Haha! Mine was always off by at least 40 pounds! Heaven forbid they know how much I weighed for real! Like they couldn't tell by the pic! I have to say after getting WLS is the first time in my life I have ever talked about my real weight, admitted it in public. Its like airing out the dirty little(:P) secret is such a relief! People are shocked when I say I weight around 170.... they just assume that I weigh less... but really I think it is because I used to weigh so much more by comparison, I look so different.

The bummer about lying about the weight though is I'm stuck with my newest one for awhile because I haven't lost enough weight according to my license to warrant a new one.. :P

Ok I'm at 465 so far today and it's 8:09

Wow this has been hard today because of all the carbs the last couple of days...

I know later I will be fighting myself for something so I've given myself permission for a Protein hot chocolate if need be.

This is the first time in years that my license says I weigh more than I do. Yay 5:2!!

Yes, it's very difficult when the kids are moving on with their own lives. It's been very hard for me because during all of this, it was one string of bad bf's after another. My husband died when I was 35 years old!

I had a really hard time fasting today. I was hungry all day.

Evil Carbs!

Just got caught up, again...lol. Still feeling blah, trying to figure out why and deal with these emotions.

Today is going to be our big Christmas. My daughter got here yesterday morning, she had to work on Christmas. Honestly, I'm just ready for the day to be over so I can be done with it this year. And then there is another part of me that is trying to just enjoy the moment with my family as I remember that the boys will grow up so fast and soon enough they will be gone like my daughter. I was reminded of this again yesterday when I went and had the kids' pictures taken! I hadn't done that in years with the three of them together. It's crazy to see just how grown up they are!

So many emotions....sorry I've not been much support but it's just where I am at this moment.

I was cracking up reading the comments about weight on the driver's license. I need to look at mine and see what it says but I'm pretty sure I weigh less than what I have on there now. I had mine renewed a couple of years ago and even after the weight loss I had I'm sure I still put a lower weight than I was.

SherylJane, glad you are having fun skiing. Sometimes I think I would like to try it, but I hate snow and I'm also scared I would hurt myself.

Ok, I'm going to get out of bed, I need to bake something for today. I'm thinking Eggnog bread, I found a recipe that looks good so I think I'll try it.

Happy Friday, friends.

Hi SarSar! Nice to see you here. I think its so neat you had a portrait done of the kids, you will be so glad you did later!...as will they.... sorry your still feeling down, I have a hint of that going on, but keep talking myself out of it.... shining light on it helps, and doing something on my list helps too. (ah, the list. Make sure to pack it with things that advance your sense of purpose.... it makes the doing so much more meaningful) Hope you have a nice day with your family... the eggnog bread, is it a quick bread or a yeast bread... sound delish!

Daisy! 35 is such a young widow... with kids! Heavens, what a trial that must have been.

Christmas really is a mixed bag isn't it! Some of us love it; some of us hate it; some of us just get on with it! Still the big day has gone for another year, and I think we have all learnt a lot - yes, I reflect too... how things will change every year and there is nothing I can do about it. Some change is for the good and some change is not so good - but it happens.

Just thought of a few things to catch up on...Skiing - arghhh... not for me! I tried it when I was in school, ok a long time ago and I hated it! I was on my backside more than my feet; not a sport for me I'm afraid.

Weight on driving licence... bloody hell! Also a scary thought!

I've had a few days of Christmas eating - although I ate what I wanted, and ate well, I didn't go mad and it has paid off as I'm still in my bounce range, actually the lowest end - yey! In fact I saw 155 this morning, if it there in the morning I will 'claim' it as my new lowest...lol So that has spurred me on to fast today; be nice to update my ticker at this time of year!!

Steve's family are visiting tomo - looking forward to them coming as we haven't been together in my house for a long, long time - complicated and long story. But that is in the past now... his bro and partner have a 7mth baby daughter, who is absolutely beautiful... she reminds me so much of Betty when she was a baby - can't wait for a cwtch!

Oh just remembered... after seeing that photo of Laura...wow by the way! What an incredible transformation!

I found some old pics of my the other day - when I showed them to my friends, they wanted to know who it was - didn't even recognise it as me! How bonkers is that?

My one friend asked me if at the time, I realised that I was 'that big' - to be honest I always knew how big I was - never one to be in denial about my weight and size... and I think that has shifted a bit now, because I still think I am bigger than I am!

This is, and I think, will continue to be one big learning curve!

Wow, Daisy! That is really hard! 35 is just barely BEGINNING to know who you are! I have a dear friend, probably my BFF of all, who lost her hubs at 27 with two all children. Waited a long time, remarried a nice guy who took her savings and cheated on her! He left her for a richer woman and now she is "married" to her SS she tells me! Hahaha! Said the only one she can COUNT ON!

Hope your "string" turns for the better starting today!

Sarsar, I know just what you mean. As we have all kinda hinted at, Life never stands still and constantly evolves and changes and we have to manage to keep up!

As Kim said, that pic will be a treasure later and your kids and THEIR kids will pull them out and laugh while you smile and try to keep the tears from running down your face like a sop! Yep, as you can tell, I've done it! Precious!!!!!!

Weight- I am going to fast today if it kills me! I am truly on carb overload!! And the old sugar craving is trying to settle in! Up a couple pounds that had to end today!!

Going to San Antonio next Wed to see my sister and family. A 10 hour drive and taking two grands with us. Also have one more party Sat! So I've got to kill this craving now! Good luck to all who are fasting!

And as I USED to say, Keep your double chin up! We Don't have double chins anymore! Now THATS something to be happy about!!!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
