wilderness - thanks for the encouragement about the party. It was so much fun. DH and I will be hosting a semi-formal for our anniversary next year and this was a nice preview of how fun dressing up can be!
Minniespal - thanks to you too for your kind words. I felt like all my WISH friends were behind me for moral support and it made the evening that much more special for me because I know you guys understand what I was feeling.
Tracy - aren't you just loving the weather we're having? It was 5 degrees this morning and since DH had left for work and DS was sleeping under a pile of covers on winter break, I had to dig my car out of a ton of snow all by myself which was not fun as you can imagine!
Thanks for the compliments on my pics. I still have a ways to go to get to goal but I do feel like I'll make it. It may not happen when I want it to, but it will happen.
Tera - thanks for your words of encouragement. Being heavy all or most of your life can be so difficult to explain to others so it's nice when you run into people who know exactly how you feel. Sometimes I feel like I don't even recognize the person looking back at me in the mirrror. I'm glad I'm not at goal because I still have a lot of mental issues to work through. The whole wheat crackers I eat are by Triscuit. I like the cheddar cheese variety. Enjoy your tuna! I've been eating tuna for lunch mostly for about a year now and still haven't gotten tired of it yet. I do try to mix it up twice a week and have something else but basically during the week its my good old stand-by, tuna and whole wheat crackers!
Sundie - were you at the reception with me? The attitude you described is exactly the one I adopted. At one point it was hot on the dance floor that I threw off my wrap and just let go. I felt so free. It didn't matter to me that my arms as still jiggly. I just had a great time. I know people were looking at me but I just didn't care. When people say that they have had "the time of lives" now I know what they mean. I had the time of my life on Saturday!
