For V-Day, we're seeing that movie. Total chick flick and I don't feel guilty for dragging him there.

I liked the book - it helped me end a very bad 6 year relationship.

The book that helped my relationship the most was "Where the Wild Things Are". Sure, it's a little simplistic on the first read, but on closer inspection, it's very deep. I also highly recommend anything by Seuss, but especially "Green eggs and Ham"

Deep, you don't even realize how deep Where the Wild Things Are is. I read the book in the mid 80's to late 80's to my daughter. Fast forward to 96. We get a Westie, I come up with the name Mischief. Fast forward 6 or more years, and I pick up Where the Wild Things Are. I thumb through. Max's dog is a Westie, well isn't that cute. SIT DOWN FOR THE REST OF THIS.........

MAX WAS SENT TO HIS ROOM FOR MAKING MISCHIEF.

OMG, OMG, what are the chances of a Westie and the word mischief being in the same book. That book is not only deep, IT CHANGES YOUR LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dr. Seuss is my all time favorite author. I love reading his books out loud. He was pure genius.

My DD used to love me to read Dr. Suess to her, until she discovered the poetry of Shel Silverstein---then she was addicted to his books---she now reads them to her DD!!

Plain you surprised me though, none of the Dr. Suess we read had a Forum section.......

Dear Seuss,

I never expected this to happen to me. I was hitchhiking in the mountains when a carload of cheerleaders stopped and asked if I needed a ride...

Seuss is overrated. It's easy to rhyme when one simply makes up words. I tried that and got a C in freshman English.

I will not do it in a car,

I will not do it near and far,

I will not do it, firm I am.

I will not have blue balls and Pam

      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!!
