Three years out and still losing

Love the mottos!

I am 3 years out and still changing and losing! WAHOO!

> My mottos are, " Chew, chew, chew. " " Walk 15 minutes after every

> meal. " " If your hunger is in your head, don't eat, take a walk. " And then

> the good old, " Eat pickles. " <VBG>

Jac says : I can tell you, I look really thin at 140 (I'm 5'10)

Actually, people are starting to tell me I look ill. I'm not.

Not meaning to offend you in any way, but I caught my breath when I

read this. I am 5'10 " also and am at 219, a size 16. I can't even

imagine being 140 at that height. I remember once, when I was in

high school, I got down to 148 and I looked like a Holocaust victim.

I distinctly remember wearing a two piece suit and being embarrassed

because when I laid down, there was about two inches between my suit

and my belly where the suit stretched across my protruding pelvic

bones. I thought everyone could see down my pants ( I could!).

That just goes to show you, we all have different body types. The

same height and weight can look totally different on various people.

Think of those models at 5'10 " and 115 pounds!!!!!

As long as you're healthy Jac, it's all good. At the risk of

sounding like your Mommy, just make sure when you're grieving to get

at least your minimum intake. I imagine food must sound disgusting

to you now. Who would have ever thought we'd have to force ourselves

to eat?

I hope the sun peeks through the clouds for you soon.

Smiles,

Vicki
