Guest guest Posted August 17, 2000 Report Share Posted August 17, 2000 Hi Guys: Went to the doctor's office to get weighed today. We left the kids in the van so we had to take turns going in. Drema went first. She came out of the office in tears. I thought she'd gained weight when I saw the tears. 25 pounds gone and it won't be two weeks until tomorrow. We could see that it wasa big loss...big difference already. But 25 pounds gone! Incredible! She was so moved. Then it was my turn. 249...That's from 304...55 pounds gone in 10 weeks. Incredible! Since 1967, I have been under 250 pounds only: * In 1968 after delivering Drema. I vomited 65 pounds away during a hellish pregnancy. Then gained it all back in short order * In 1971 after delivering Lori. I vomited 52 pounds away during another hellish pregnancy. Then gained it all back in short order. * In 1988 I fasted for five months and lost 97 3/4 pounds and got down to 225 pounds (for a day) and then right back up. I stayed at around 265 for a few years, then on back up to over 300. 249 is a major thing for me. I have been obese since I was 7 years old. Living 50 years worrying about what you eat is no fun! Living with physical and emotional pain for 50 years is an awful thing! Today I am healing....and losing weight...and not worrying about what I eat. I don't want what got me here. Life is good. God is good. Dr. R is good. Sigh. Painfully Thin in land Florence Ballengee Hollywood, land florence@...

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2000 Report Share Posted August 17, 2000 Dearest Flo and sis, Drema, Yeahhhhhh!!!! I am jumping up and down for joy for both of you. (There might be a news report saying there is an earthquake going on in Florida, but no, it's just me JUMPING FOR JOY) I truly know what you are saying when you say: Today I am healing....and losing weight...and not worrying about what I > eat. I don't want what got me here. I feel I too have had a new lease on life. Every day I wake up, (I know you aren't supposed to weigh everyday, but I do...)I loose more weight. I have lost 37 pounds in 29 days. I am finally melting too, and it feels so good. I am alive again. Love, T > Hi Guys: > Went to the doctor's office to get weighed today.

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2000 Report Share Posted August 17, 2000 Hello Flo & Drema, Moving story.....I started to get 'choked up' myself reading this! This whole process is truly amazing....and the most wonderful part is having the Internet to be able to share our stories, see pictures of everybody (great web site !)etc etc. It is perhaps the most loving & supportive group I have ever come across. We are all truly 'connected' in some spiritual way. I love reading your posts Flo and having met you both. Look forward to seeing you both at the picnic! {{hugs & kisses}} of Raleigh MGB=5/26/00 45 lbs gone as of 8/12 - Yeah! Hi Guys: Went to the doctor's office to get weighed today.
