I realize now that you'll probably get the trade paperback, which was, I think, the Australian release. It comes with the grisly British cover, but I don't think there's a photo.

D'oh! Clearly the only way to get my picture is to order the book from Amazon.com in the US!

Sometimes it just sucks to be Australian!

But here, let me make it up to you: if you go here, and scroll down to Radio, you can hear me being interviewed or doing a radio piece:

Jonathan Hayes: What I Write

Or here's a podcast I did to introduce my book:

You see how I spoil you?

See I don't have a visual, and this is just troubling! Someone will need to remedy this.

Nice Toff accent though, Fenton... schooled at Eton were we? Supporter of the Chelsea Football team?

:rolleyes2:

Nah, I shouldn't joke. I'M a supporter of the Chelsea football team.

How about someone else posting theirs?

I don't know if I will get these photos to work right. I used to be so technically literate. Some women bounced right back after having children. I lost a lot of brain cells and then just never came back - my oldest is 10, so it is a lost cause. But I am great at reading books from an upside down position to a large group of kids.

I actually OK'd a few pictures this weekend sailing on Puget Sound. Although it was hard to find any before shots. Feel free to just comment on the scenery, dog, or children!

Harley--you look fab!!! And your daughter is stunning, too! I hope when my daughter is that age, she will still want to hang out with me at the zoo...it says a lot about the kind of MOM you are!

K Pod-Two months??? That is a crazy difference!

A Dub-You are looking HOT! (just like the guy in your before pic :-) ) Hard to believe there is only a 35 lbs difference!

Tess- I agree, 20 years younger! And I love the new do' too!

WCM-You DD's are beautiful! (Just like their Mama)

Most of these pics are a few months old...how about another update guys?!?!? I am going to have my DH get me a few pics together to post. (he is the computer guy, not ME) It is going to be a huge deal for me, I have ran from cameras for soooo long!

I'd love to post some progress pictures if I could figure out how to do it. I'm not very computer literate.

      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!!
