Did anybody miss me? Our computer is still in the shop but my son rigged up his laptop and I opened a trial dial-up account, so at least I can stay in touch! I've lost a full ten pounds since I started on January 2nd, but the leftover Chistmas chocolate, cookies, and candy canes were making me crazy! Soooo, I made the three dogs do tricks for the cookies, and used them all up that way. I stuffed the chocolate in a freezer container and shoved it all in the back of the freezer, where it can stay forever! I can't figure out what to do with the candy canes. I would give them away to the neighborhood kids, but I don't want to get a reputation as the creepy old lady who gives out candy. I wish I could just pitch them. Maybe when I get a little more strong, and the candy gets a little more stale....
I just found out that a friend of ours who had weighed over 700 pounds and had bariatric surgery almost died during his second surgery to remove all the excess skin! That is a lot scarier than the gastric bypass that he had to have because he could not breathe at night. Every time I think about surgery I will remember him. I can do this.
