I have been saying for years that I am going to move to TX. I still am giving it some serious thought. I am a wimp so I haven't traveled much. Otherwise, I would have already been at least once. When I finally work up some courage, I am going to be asking where to go. Just be forewarned.

The biggest difference I have found in TX is the people have a totally different attitude. Our place there is on the diagonal between Abilene and Austin. And no matter where we go, people are friendlier with very few exceptions! Salespeople, especially there is a huge difference in the attitude there and here in New Mexico!

And they are PROUD to be Texans!!! You find roofs, barns, sheds, tents.....you name it, painted in the design of the Texas flag! And the star is everywhere!

Here in NM, we have a very nicely designed state flag, would be easy to duplicate into things such as they do in TX.....but they don't! There is a huge controversy over whether the state has the right to use the Zia symbol, or whether it is strictly a Native American right. Those kind of arguements totally ruin this state. The division is deep, and while you would think it would get better, it doesn't.

It is actually a breath of fresh air to see people who are proud of who they are.....by simply where they live. Not basing it on all the prejudices we live with here.

Egg salad with no eggs? !?!? No way. I love egg salad.:smile2:

i found a splash or 2 of milk in my scrambled eggs makes them a bit creamier & they aren't like "rubber" going down....

egg salad is NO problem - thankfully because i LOVE egg salad; might boil some eggs tonite..LOL

Right now I love fried eggs (w/non-stick spray) and boiled eggs. I don't have a problem with them just yet. I go for my next fill tomorrow, so that is subject to change.

      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!!
