Hiya all.

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone.

Firstly I'd like to say a big thank you to all of you who responded

to my message. I know it's a bit ambitious of me, but I was

attempting to respond to each and everyone of you who replied, but I

can't believe there are so many people who care about me. I think

it's going to be impossible to respond to you all individually, but

I'll try. If I don't get around to you please accept my apologies.

I'm hanging in there emotionally and just trying to get on with

life. I've made my decision. I don't want him back, well not while

his mother is still capable of making my life miserable. Maybe one

day in the distant future, if we are both still single, and his

mother isn't around, she's 74, I mean God, how much longer can she

live? (Ok guys, just humour me OK?)

Oh wonderful wise Ghyll, thank you thank you thank you, for stopping

me from doing something stupid. I was stewing, wanting to ring my

MIL and explode into her ear, I actually rang twice, but my FIL

answered and I hung up (gave her a taste of her own medicine) - if

she had answered the phone I would have blasted her for sure. But

you are so right, so now I've decided against it. I intend to keep

my dignity in all of this. One thing I won't do for sure, is leave

my house, not until it's sold anyway. By the way, good luck in your

moving. Hope all goes smoothly for you and you are happy and

peaceful as you enter another chapter of your life. Talk to you

soon.

Beautiful Nic, good luck with your op on Monday. Soon you will

be " one of us " again, gee we sound like a cult don't we?

Now for something that's actually ON TOPIC. I went to see my

specialist on Wednesday for another fill. My regular guy wasn't

there (you know who I mean Maree) but another charming fella took

his place. I was amazed at how he did the fill in the surgery

without going down to the x-ray room, but it didn't feel as smooth

and easy as when Dr regular does it. In fact, even though it wasn't

painful, it felt a little uncomfortable, and I was really nervous

given that I've had to have my port replaced once before due to a

fill error on their part. He gave me another 1/2 ml and now I think

I've finally hit this wonderful thing called restriction. Oh it

feels sooooo good.

And here's the best part.... I've finally reached my first goal!

That was to turn back the clock to 1997 and weigh what I did then -

110 kgs. I am now officially 109.7 kg which takes my total weight

loss to 19.8 kg which is close enough to 20 for me. Yippee! Next

goal? Hmmmm, double digits of course!

Luv yoos all, Rose.
