I have to laugh because today I remembered a time when I joined Weight Watchers years ago. I remember thinking, "I've hit the 200 mark. I never thought I'd weigh this much!" Now, as I'm getting my ducks in a row for banding, I'm thinking how weird it will be to say, "I've hit the 200 mark. I never thought I'd weigh this LITTLE!"

No kidding!! When I think about numbers like 200 and 230, they appear like distant pipe dreams to me now. Once they were horrifying milestones that to a teenager signalled the death knell of any successful social life. My, how times change...
