does my arse look big in this liver?
Thank you, BigProf, for the inspiration for this title. Your comment really made me laugh.
And thank you, Dad, for reading my blog. It really, really means a lot to me, and so do your thoughts.
One week to go and yes, I am excited.
Yesterday I was cruising round the shops, just getting some focus in order to do the grocery shopping (actually didn’t work: I forgot the cat food. Boy, am I in trouble). I kept being tempted to go into the clothes shops and get something nice there, but then I thought NO! Why do that? It won’t be long before I can look at stuff that’s a whole lot smaller and feel real good about buying clothes. In fact, I’ll be chucking out geological ages of baggy old stuff out of my wardrobe and rediscovering ancient layers of clothing that I set aside for when I lost “a couple of pounds” (or three).
Found out why I had the bizzarre munchies attack on Monday. I mean, it was just like a PMS thing, hunting down food and going for it. And then, guess what? Yeah. All my plans for a crone party next autumn have been dashed. Argh! I hate having periods. It’s been such a holiday, not having had one since January. Oh well, Ribs made me laugh yesterday when I txtd her and told her. She said “at least you’re not pregnant”. Then we met and had coffee and laughed more. Also got another inspirational story from her about gastric banding.
Inspiration from Day 4 of 100 days of weight loss is all about setting guidelines, not rules. Being able to adjust plans according to needs. That diet is not set in stone. I guess for me the important things will be maintaining my water intake and keeping up the exercise. Good old treadmill.
I put that there for inspiration with clothing. I put her in nice warm stuff coz it’s cold here.
In exactly 1 week from now I will be arriving at the hospital.
Excited?
oh
you
bet.
Okay, you can wear the stuff that’s been hanging around the closet as a temporary measure but, at some point, you need to have a spree and deck that new body out in new clothes! Yah Hoo!
LOL! Sign me up for some liver shrinkage. I had c-sections with both of my pregnancies and always wondered why they didn’t scoop out the blubber while they were in there.
OH, I have been missing your blog for several days; how’d that happen? Good luck to your almond tree; I’ve heard of something here called a flowering almond bush—the flowers look very much like yours but I’m sure it doesn’t end up with actual almonds. Hmmmm….
Yeah, I was not exactly in mourning when my tom up and quit; took it a while to make it’s final exit. Thought it was done several times. Thought wrong.
We are excited for you too; don’t ever doubt that. Will need all the details.
One week… oh my! Time is flying. Have you been reading any of the weight loss surgery blogs? There are some really good ones out there. I’m excited for you.
Missed the blogs for a couple of days…just catching up. I’m excited for you - only a short time to go… Had to laugh, By Golly, ain’t it grand to be a girl. Your friend was right
at least you’re not pregnant. 
I thought the photographs you posted of the trees were beautiful. I wish I knew more about trees.
Your DH sounds like a honey.
Congratulations on ALL of your efforts.

How true is that. I think that is why I fail at this so often. I am looking at it as a set of rules and that if I break one, I have totally failed (perfectionist here). Guidelines is a much better way at looking at it!
I can’t believe you only have one week left! How exciting!
wow, one week until a DEFINITE transformation - no more what if’s, coulda, woulda or shoulda - now it’s a sure ass thing!
How fantastic is that?!
Yes, it’ll still be hard but it’ll be worth your efforts
Looking forward to following you on this journey
Take lots of pictures as we watch you SHRINK!

Wow, Ms. Feathers, just a few more days! I’m so excited for you!
