3:30 am and I must know....

Woke up in the middle of the night thinking about my weight..... which is not unusual. Started thinking about how I'm a tight 16 right now... which isn't terrible considering my largest size, 24... or were those capris a 26? It took gastric bypass, countless weight loss meds and ADHD meds, lots of dieting, a panniculectomy and a divorce to be here. Surely that at least shows I want to lose the frickin weight! So I lay here thinking "I need to quit smoking.... and drinking so much wine....I wonder how many pounds it takes to lose a pant size" I google and this site came up. Found some valuable info and I thought to myself, its been 10 years since I joined a message board. So I decided to sign up and behold! I'm already a member! HA! At any rate, I'm hoping to learn a lot and be excited about weight loss and health again. I do believe in support groups if I play my cards right, I may meet some neat people and finally finish what I started and then some.
