You get a lot of attention for your weight. And while this is positive and negative attention this is what you have been for your whole life. Think about if you are scared how people will treat you as a "normal" person.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13532698.post-20660129350230536582007-11-14T22:11:00.000-06:002007-11-14T22:11:00.000-06:00You're awesome, keep doing what you are doing.

I'm glad you can finally see it. You've lost a lot of weight very quickly. When you keep that weight off, some, but most likely not all of that loose skin will regain its elasticity. There are many, many creams that fade stretch marks, so don't worry about that. What you will have to worry about is going into the women's section of the store to buy them and finding one that doesn't smell "pretty." <BR/><BR/>You've basically been "starving" your body for four months so it is not surprising that you might plateau for a while. Ask your dietician about that. Doing some weight training or some short distance, high intensity running a couple of days a week can "wake up" a sleepy metabolism without leaving you too tired.<BR/><BR/>Keep up the great work.<BR/><BR/>Linda BuiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13532698.post-11626128564840724512007-11-12T13:53:00.000-06:002007-11-12T13:53:00.000-06:00Boggs, I read your blog, saw the photos and I am S...Boggs, I read your blog, saw the photos and I am SO proud of you! And you Mr, you deserve to give yourself a pat in the back because you are doing great. I am sure that this is a strenous physical-psychological journey (dealing with the up downs of everything can be overwhelming) but the pay off (your well being) is what matters, Boggs. And the past 7 lbs... hey you are still losing!!!! And as long as you are on that road, you are on the right path! Continue to think positive, you know we are!!!!

If you had said you couldn't see the difference, then we would have scheduled an eye exam.<BR/><BR/>By the way, you should pay for my medical bill from a concussion.
