I went out today to look for bargains that I can add to my wardrobe and lunch at a restaurant (outdoor). I wrestled for a few over what I should wear with the tshirt. I eventually went with the pants even though it was 95 degrees. I took a close up selfie which I normally don't do. I hope I didn't crack your phone screens, lol!

@Sophie7713 man you have keen eye. You can spot clothing material from a grainy pic and name shoe styles from a tiny peek under a hem! Your white dress is adorable, and looks absolutely breezy. Is it still sweltering down in FL? P.S. and Bobby is the perfect accessory, lol

@JRT Mom well technically, I'm 5' 1½"...I round up to make myself feel better. I do think I tend to look taller than I really am when I'm standing by myself. But as soon as a regular height person is next to me, my height challenges are quite apparent. I look I've been zoomed out when I stand next to the Kid. Also, heels are my friend, as is the google search "what to wear when you are short".

@GreenTealael One word: SMOKIN'. Ok, ok, 6 more words: I WANT TO BITE YOUR A$$.

Yes, it was sweltering that day. My hair was glued to my head. Hair spray melt down. LOL. And, this was by the intracoastal with an 102 breeze. Actually, summer has not been to oppressive this year. I just wear lots of comfy natural cottons and linens. Lot's of air holes + ventilation in this blouse. ;] Synthetics never breath - At least for me here in sub-tropical land. How has your summer been?

RYou look fabulous @Dtrain84. And Jake, you always look great.

So lovely to welcome our new comers too. Hope you’ll become frequent posters.

By the way, has anyone heard from Angiebear? I hope she’s ok.

Because we had to cancel our girls’ trip to Spain, we’ve decided to do a weekend away at an upmarket retreat in the mountains here in Queensland in September. We’ve decided to go all out & will be helicoptering up & back (45min trip). The views will be spectacular & we’re very excited. Anyway, our private lodge has a spa on the deck so I’ve been forced to buy some swimwear - first time in 18yrs. Thought you’d be amused by my choice - ain’t no one seeing my saggy baggy skin & I am very fair so there is some sensible logic in my choice.

Please take pictures for us from the helicopter! FUN. Will you parachut out (under the rotary blades that is...) like Jake would? September trip sounds fabulous. Actually, I love this look for you. It's a fun cross between surf gear wet suit and vintage swim wear. And, in your signature black to boot. ;]

Oh, I’m not brave enough to do a Jake style parachute jump. I was actually chasing some of those Olympic style all-in-one swimmers & thought I could pretend I was a gold medalist swimmer but then I found out how much they cost - yikes!

Damn humidity has ruined many a hair style for me too @Sophie7713. It’s why I have a hair band on my wrist at all times to rescue a deflated ‘do’ & covert it to a pony.

GQ? I'll take that, lol! I thought hard about wearing the shorts. Once I kept looking at my bowed bony chicken legs in those shorts, I opted for the pants. Lol!

I only noted that nice trim waistline and those upper body muscles in action, myself.

      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!!
