I personally don't have a weight problem, but I adore food and I have the deepest respect for people who discipline themselves to lose weight. I have known a lot of people that try to do this, and it is soooo hard for them (understandably!). I know your achievements will pay off, and when questions like, "why am I putting myself through this" pop up, I hope you see the greater good you are going for here. What an inspiration! And it's true, restaurants DO give 2-3 times a proper serving! Guilt ensues to those who leave their plates unfinished! Good luck to you, keep up your wonderful and hilarious blog.Arielnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31508358.post-65824015004364312832013-01-24T14:34:40.243-06:002013-01-24T14:34:40.243-06:00Lori, thanks for your continued encouragement.

If only I could be as your sister is - good for her!Bonita Gorditahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02211749482909459856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31508358.post-25240950811677918652013-01-23T11:22:55.915-06:002013-01-23T11:22:55.915-06:00YAHOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so glad you got ...YAHOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so glad you got below 270. Sometimes those numbers can seem like huge obstacles and once you get past them you sail right on down the scales. I hope that is the case for you. Enjoy your success.<br /><br />With regard to skin, my sister had a lot of saggy skin. She had gastric bypass surgery and lost a very significant amount of weight in a very short time frame relatively speaking. She would pick up her belly skin to fasten her pants. I asked her if she was going to have it removed and she said probably not. To her it was a badge of honor. It represented how far she'd come and it was a reminder that she did not want to go back there. It has been 10 years and most of the saggy skin has resolved itself. AND, she has not regained the weight. She yo-yos some with 10 lbs or so, but she gets right back under control. Surgery, like weight loss methods are very personal choices. I wish you wisdom as you make your choice.<br />LoriLorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06348740719854853661noreply@blogger.com
