Thanks, guys!
Maybe not THE best thing, but pretty close to the top of the best things about the change is being able to FIT INTO A PORSCHE. And buckle the belt!

Thanks again! I had a hard time with the "proud" initially because like many do, I considered the surgery I had a cop-out. But it's what it took for me. And like any diet, the surgery can be defeated. Once the weight comes off post-op, it's back to the same as everybody else, watching what goes in the old pie-hole. Guess I should come up for a new name for that, huh!
I'm really driving everybody around me crazy, what with the weight loss, and then the car, and the track stuff (if I only had a nickel for every "mid-life crisis?" comment I've entertained...). And now they are having to get used to my NATURAL hair color. Which, as it turns out, is pretty much WHITE. Like my Porsche ![]() Now that would make another good before/after. My sister was all, "You took off 20 years losing the weight, and you're putting on 30 years with that hair!" Oh well. I'd rather spend what I used to spend at the salon on my car endeavors, and that's exactly what I am doing. I am MUCH happier with my reconfigured priorities!

Kathy, You have found something that 99.9 % of the world never find.
You are happy with yourself! Good for you! |

Not really "before and after," but kinda. Taken within 24 hours and maybe 70 or so miles of each other, my talented 10 y.o. and why Southern California really is a remarkable place.

Good on you DAD!!!
There's a boy that will grow up knowing he can do just about anything! I love it! We usually have 1 day/year here that we can waterski, golf and snowski all in the same day and in the same Town (Vernon, BC). I did the waterski and golf one morning and then just was too lazy to go put the ski in (lousy ski conditions of course), but it can be done. |
