I unfortunately had to go out of town for a funeral 2 weeks ago. I used to work in business management and wore a dress or suit and heels everyday. Not a single one fit and I had to buy a new dress for the service. My sister has gained quite a bit of weight and have me all her smaller stuff that was too small for me before and it's also too big:)

Graceann,

Sorry about the funeral but good news on clothes being too big :-)

You are a bad-ass! I am proud of you! What a tremendous feeling!

Thanks Mel,

The really funny thing to me about sweets is that since I have been detoxed... I don't crave them like I used to. Matter of fact, while in the airport the other day, I smelled Cinnabons at the store and it really made me a little nauseas to think of eating one! What a great feeling that was, because in the past I would love nothing more than a big, gooey cinnamon roll from there! (and I wouldn't want to share!)

I have a test today though. Its the first day of school for my teenager and I always make something special for the afternoon when he comes home. He wants Lemon Pound Cake, like the one they serve at Starbucks. I hope I can pass the test and not taste it!

Hey all you Juners' date=' i have to share this with you.

I work up in a brave mood after purchasing new specs for my ever changing new look. i went cloths shopping in a non- big and tall shop for the first time in 20 years and actually found cloths that fit....shocked the hell out of me.

bought 2 pair of Kaki pants and several polo shits to get me till christmas ....maybe :-)

my cheeks hurt since ive been smiling so much today. i know i still have a long way to go but ill take this victory and savor it for a little while.

im feeling like a bad ass today :-)

It's funny because im like that too. I crave salad now. Sweets I don't even think about.

I don't crave sweets now either! It's a blessing because my sweet tooth was my biggest downfall!! ----now I just crave everything else :/

I don't have a lot of craving but the ones I do have are always carb based. Whether its really crusty sourdough with butter or birthday cake, carbs are the only thing I crave. However, I have NOT given in to my craving at all. I know if I do I'll be in some serious trouble.

I still struggle with wanting ice cream. I really miss having a meal that looks like a well balanced meal, with all of the food groups represented.
