Then again, the butt is quite good at fitting all sorts of shapes...it's just not very comfortable!

Oh, how I would love to be free of this constant anxiety. I hope I can someday succeed as you have. You are my hero.

I try VERY hard to avoid them as they only bring more attention to the fact I'm morbidly obese and an accident just waiting to happen. I often use jackets, blankets, or anything in hand to try to "cover up" my over hanging belly and not be obvious. I know it doesn't work but somehow I can't help myself do it.... chairs with arms, restaurant booths, seat belts, narrow doorways, plastic lawn chairs, and cheep folding chairs are all things that I’m scared of.

To say that it rocks is the understatement of the century. The combination of what you have accomplished, how you have "put it out there" and your humor/talent...What can I say? Absolutely Fabulous! By the way, the "container for foreigners" is indeed a xenodoheio. And yes, I DO speak Greek. I won't wish you good luck, because as all of us on this journey know...luck has nothing to do with it honey. Like many before me I have discovered your blog.

I had a baby 6 months ago and am struggling to lose the 50lbs or so that I gained. I joined ediets but I find it hard to look at it somedays when the scale does not reflect my hard work. I want to give a huge*CONGRATS* to you b/c of your efforts to lose weight. I love your sarcasm and wit and will be checking your blog often. Keep up the great work and all the best.

Keep it up! I was on an airplane on Thursday and had this strange realization in the middle of the flight that my thigh was not touching the lady next to me. I have gone from 255 to 164 and I can also walk down the aisle of the plane to the bathroom without walking sideways! It is awesome! It was right after I got under 200 lbs that suddenly I crossed into the realm of "normal" and people began treating me much differently. You are almost there! I will be using you as my inspiration to lose the last 15-20 pounds (the most difficult, i might add). Pasta Queen, You are doing such a great job! Keep it up!

Hence, I find this fascinating. I've sent a link to all my friends.
