That's one of my biggest pet peeves. I still fit in a lot of booths, but

some are pretty tight and I hate that. But I will hopefully rejoice at

fitting in again just like you. Congrats on the loss. It's wonderful!!!

Thank you for sharing that ! Your honesty also is appreciated *(about why

did I do this). I am so glad for you , to be able to enjoy those little

things again. I can't wait until I can say that.

,

I know exactly how you feel. Next friday I will have my three month

check up and so far I am down 65lbs and I feel like I have been given

a new life. It is nice to have the freedom to sit where you want in a

restaurant and be able to keep up with your children. To be able to

buy cloths at Wall Mart. I wasn't able to buy cloths at a Plus Size

store before surgery and tonight I went to Wall Mart and could wear a

26/28. Congratulations... :-)
