Oh Sharon that is great to hear. I love hearing when someone is pleased with their surg! My insurance isnt covering anything but Craig says we will do it anyway since it is what I want! I dont know if I will have to have anything else like Lipo..but once I get near goal I will have another consult and go from there!

Mine when I started MF were 46DD now they are 40DD but not as full by any means. It will be worth it not to look in the mirror and see them practically below my elbows.

Yea almost everywhere I looked offers financing..which for some morbid reason cracks me up! We refuse to finance anything now that we are debt-free so I dont mind cutting back on my Vera Bradleys or Chanel Shades for a bit lol Most insurances cover the reductions...my chiro even offered to send letter..heavens know he has seen the trouble I have..but it was hard enough getting the approval for my hyst a few months ago and they already turned down the pre-approval. If they do fine..but if they dont I will still have it!

I want lasik too. Hmm it seems I want alot I may need to get a real job especially since we went to the mall and I just HAD to walk thru the normal sizes..man ooooh man am I in trouble in a few months!

"....doooo your boobs hang low, do they wobble to and fro, can you tie them in a knot, can you tie them in a bow?"

[JeepGirl]

hahahahaah I am sooo dying here!!

[SharonR]

hehe...I use to tease my girlfriend and tell her that she had to roll up her boobs to put them in her bra. It was quite funny, although now her boobs are perfect, time her to make fun of mine!

Your husband sounds like he ROCKS...whatever you want dear..hehe. I'm sure he figured that once you lose the weight, he just wants you to be happy and comfortable in your own body, that's very cool.

[JeepGirl]

Ohh heavens..He is beyond compare at times! There is no one else I would rather have by my side!

Welp this week I racked up 1 lb gone and I am actually surprised I didnt gain. I have had a weird week. Ever since I was sick I have had the munchies and then I just completely ate off plan yesterday for breakfast and lunch. As well as having Sweet Tea with lunch grrrrr
But ohh I paid for it the rest of the day so I am crossing my fingers that will help me get back OP with this. I have been enjoying my loss so far and do not want it to falter any more! May God give the strenght and will do do this.

*Weekly Challenge* To stay OP this week and to get back in the water habit.

Oh--my Sis and her Hubby are coming up to grill out this evening so I will be able to talk to her more. He isnt being very supportive of her decision to start MF and so she put me off for a few weeks I am hoping it helps him when we talk it later!

[Aerie]

Hey Jeepie, it really sounds like your head is in the right place and you won't have any trouble getting back on plan. Hey when your sick your sick, your bod goes all outta whack. You're better now so no more worries.

It would be great to MF with your sister. Hopefully she'll be on board soon. Good gosh what will mom say when you're both shrinking before your eyes.

So how far are you from Savannah? I've never been and I'd like to see it.

[DogMa]

I'm guessing you just needed some extra calories because you were still healing from being sick. Don't sweat it, and maybe next time try to have an extra shake or two for a few days AFTER you're sick. But I'm sure you'll be back on track in no time.

As for your sister's hubby, grrrrrr. He's seen your success; doesn't he want her to slim down and get healthy, too?

[JeepGirl]

Man thanks for the support ladies I really needed to read it tonight!

Hmm I am @ 5 hrs from Sav I think. I have never been there but we were just talking not too long ago about a trip down soon.

As far as her hubby--he sees the difference in me..but basically I dont think he wants his "comfort" interuppted is what is boils down to. She gets off work and usually picks them up take out and I think he is afraid he will have to eat good if she starts this.

When they left I sent a bag of MF with her to try out so when she is ready she can have an idea of what she likes! I am hoping this will give her more of an incintive! *crossing fingers* I even told her I would paid for half her 1st month so hopefully that will work too

I really want us both to be healthy again and yes the wicked part of me just wants to be able to show our Mom we can do it!

Plus there's always the, "When you get thin you'll find someone else you like better". My hubby, God love him, said this very thing to me a couple of days ago. Of course nothing could be further from the truth and I told him so. Still the fear is there I'm sure. The only way to disprove it is to lose the weight and stick around You could drop a subtle hint about how losing weight makes us feel sexy and improves our sex drive If he's like most men this may help a bit. LOL

I sure have enjoyed reading your journal. It's so interesting to me how family dynamics and support or lack thereof from others plays into weight issues. I hope that your sister is able to make the changes she wants to.... sounds like you've been a great role model and support to her!!

[JeepGirl]

I guess the best we can do is pray for her and maybe God will lead her this way!

I have been doing ok this week so far. I am staying away from the scale again for a few days for my sanity lol
However my wedding rings are way too big and so I put tape on the bottom because I refuse not wearing them

Much to the dismay of my Sista Jenn I have decided that I like the RTDs better than the other shakes. I dunno if it is the diff texture or what but I cant get enough of them lately. I guess that can be a good thing!

Craig is almost done with the ceiling in the new office. He has the walls finished and will be working on the desk this week! YAY I am sooo ready to get my bedroom back to being a bedroom and not an office!!

I bought some new jeans..I had ot my old ones were awful baggy lol I even went ahead and bought some 18's too. Which I am proud to say I can actually button but am still a few weeks or so from wearing them over 5 mins

Things I have learned: If I do not put m,y whole heart into this there is no way it is going to work!

[DogMa]

Congrats on the jeans. Those 18s will be fitting soon enough, and it's good to be prepared.

And good news on the office, too. I hope things work out for your sister and her hubby gets with the program. Literally.

[JeepGirl]

hehe I think so as well. Plus they were on clearance $10 bucks!

Oh I forgot to put that I picked up "Running with Scissors" By Augusten Burroughs. But I think I am gonna save it for our trip this weekend to have something to read in the car. I will report back after it is finished.

I just finished "Arkansas" by Christine Lynxwiler which is a Christian Romance. Very good..make sure you have tissues!

[Prancer]

Ok I am shaking my head and gagging. You have gone to the dark side...the dark RTD side. Maybe I will try them again in a couple months. But for now...EEEWWWY.

Congrats on the jeans. Get yourself to a jeweler and resize your rings. You might even find something new for yourself when you are there.

[Aerie]

Running with Scissors is supposed to be great. Let me know.
