Guest guest Posted July 22, 2003 Report Share Posted July 22, 2003 Vicki, You know all of us have different definitions of success. I started out at 479 lbs and now weigh about 335. Although I would love to weigh 200 lbs or less, I am not 479 lbs either. I am no longer in a wheelchair. I am able to take a shower with out assistance, something I couldn't do 2 years ago. I am able to walk enough to do some shopping. I can tie my own shoes. I have a lap for my nieces and nephews to sit in (actually they think I'm a jungle gym now.) I would certainly consider myself more successful then my previous self. And by the amount of trouble you are getting into, I suspect you are more successful then your former self too.

Guest guest Posted July 23, 2003 Report Share Posted July 23, 2003 And if you have no other recourse- blame DH- men always do disgusting stuff like that. I just gather up my best disgusted look, throw it his way, and walk away from him. Works well in a crowd!
