Re: CRUISING AT 8 MONTHS POST GBP

[Guest guest]

I just want GBP people and pre-GBP people to see that how nice things

can all work out. Plus I didn't mention how wonderful it was to be

able to walk around in my little red shorts and cute little beaded

red spaghetti strap top feeling for the first time in my life, like

one of the skinny girls! It's an awesome feeling which puts food

even further back in my mind. For many years I used to see heavy

people and ask myself : Am i that fat?, this time I was able to

think: WOW, SHE'S THIN AND CUTE AND I'M THINNER! It's a wonderful

feeling!
