as weird as it is to say...this is the most amazing post I've seen on here...both for content and reason. To say goodbye to something that has plagued you (and me both) is probably one of the most meaningful moments we could have...glad I found this post, even though it's old!

Wow!!! I so can relate...im sure a lot of us can...Great Blog!!!

Oh man sooooo amazing! I teared up! You should print and frame this and keep it forever not only have you hit an amazing goal physically in your life you are on top of your game mentally too! Congrats!!!

BIG CONGRATS!!! THAT'S GREAT!

So proud of you!! Love the letter!! Brought tears my eyes reading all of the obstacles. I'm only 9 weeks out and down 48 lbs. I'm 4 lbs from kissing 20 years of the 200's goodbye. Your 'letter' is an inspiration to keep making the right choices and trying new things. Love it, love it!! Thanks and good luck

LOVE THIS!!!!!

Most of the time, I just order a regular meal and plan on left-overs. I also eat wings and I get a 6 piece and I get 3 meals from that. Love it!!

As far as other restaurants, we went to a Golden Corral AFTER I called to see what their policy was for WLS patients. I was told on the phone that I would be charged the 4-9 yo price, yet when we got to the restaurant, they told me it was the senior price. A savings of 50 freakin' cents!! I talked to the manager and was told that was their policy. I was pissed. Told her what I was told on the phone and was told they didn't know what they were talking about. Yeah, right. So a few months later, we went to another GC (my hubby loves it) and at this one they did give me the 4-9yo price. So, who knows there.

There is another place the hubby loves, a buffet with crab legs, that we used to go to a couple times a year. They will also give me a good discount, but they do keep a sharp eye out to see if I eat more than what I paid for. Best option is to call ahead and ask to speak to a manager or just plan on left overs. If you don't like to eat left-overs right away, freeze them and eat another day.

I love bww, but this makes me mad! I kinda figured that some places wouldnt honor it in fear of loss of money... pretty sure whoever im with is gonna order a big portion and probably more to make up for what im not eating either... good grief ridiculous! glad you updated us!

This brought tears to my eyes, beautifully and cleverly written!! Congrats to you !

Eloquent and close to home! I told 300 to hit the road a few months ago. It was liberating and satisfying
