Hi everyone, I’m deliriously happy and I’m exhausted. What an extraordinary week this has been. I’m still pinching mysef about Fred and my pending nuptials.

I suppose I haven’t spoken much here about Fred because this is such a public forum. It’s one thing to rip open my insides and share my deepest feelings, it’s another thing to pull him into it and expose him to who knows what. 🙂

I suppose I also felt a bit frightened that my hopes were too high and even though I dreamed this would happen, I wasn’t sure it would.

Now one would think all this happiness and a date for a wedding would be incentive to stay on the right track in the food department. uh nope. I continue to do what I want to do and not eat the proper foods in the proper quantities. stupid, yeah.

My friend, Brenda, gave me two books to keep with me to help me with my choices. She’s lost a good deal of weight in a very short amount of time – all for her health – to prevent diabetes. She’s really quite inspirational. I wish I could be like her, but obviously not enough to change.

6 months post surgery – 6 months pre wedding = How life moves onward- goodness.
