I didn’t eat very much at our Thanksgiving Day meal…but what I had sure was yummy! I did a LOT of cooking and baking over the past couple of days…but it was worth all of the hard work. I watched as the kids and Jason piled up their plates w/ Turkey, cranberry sauce, stuffing, gravy, green beans and sweet potatoes! They loved every bite and after eating two helpings of all of that…they still had room for the home-made pumpkin pie I made!

I made food that I could enjoy as well and I even had a few bites of pumpkin pie which was very good I might add. I made my pies w/ Splenda so that I could enjoy them as well…and you couldn’t even tell the difference!

I hope that you all had a lovely holiday w/ your families.

P.S. ~ I’ve now lost 75lbs!!

 Hello everyone!!  Just thought that I’d tell you all how I’m doing and give you an update on my weight loss.

I’m happy to tell you that I’m down 65+lbs!!  In just almost 4 months that is.  I’ve gone down 4 pants sizes and 4 shirt sizes.  It’s still taking me a while to get used to all of this and my ever shrinking body…but I am…and I will.

Jason has been very busy w/ school…as usual.  He’s looking forward to the upcoming Thanksgiving break.  I, on the otherhand, have been working five days a week cashiering…and had to ask to be cut back to four days a week so that I can have time to study if I’m ever going to finish school!  I have to work most of the Thanksgiving week and that includes after the holiday…which we’re already swamped all of the time…so I can’t even imagine what it will be like after Thanksgiving!

Anyway…here’s some comparison pics as to what I looked like before surgery and what I look like now.
