Hi,
I just heard on TV that a dentist can make a device for you that is something like a retainer thing that fits in your upper mouth and when you eat you can only eat small bites and therefore you eat slower and then your body tells you it is full before it would have if you ate big bites really fast! Whew ! Anyway this dentist said they had done studies and people had lost an average of 10 lbs in a month. The device costs about $600. Don't think I'm nuts,  I'm just the messenger.

I used to commute to work by bus. It took 2-1/2 hours one way -- so I did a lot of knitting on the bus. I sat right behind the driver.
Some time passed after I stopped commuting and began working at a new job closer to our home. I joined a rowing club and began competing, working out constantly, getting less skinny and nice and "buff." I thought I looked better.
But one day at a Christmas party for the rowing club members, I met a member's husband who knocked me off my feet. He turned to me and said, "Hey, I remember you! I used to be on the same bus with you. You used to sit behind the driver and knit a lot. Yeah, that was you. What happened to you? You used to be so nice and thin!"
Whaddya say to a wise guy like that? "Oh yeah? Well, I may be fat, but I can lose weight. You're ugly!"

Yeah, I saw this on TV. I didn't know it was $600; I thought it was ONLY $500! Such a bargain.
Yeah, you eat smaller bites -- but more of them!
Think I'll pass.

What a jerk! Who cares about body shape, it's what is inside that counts. Savannah and I think you are a perfect 10!

But didn't she notice the smiling tummy?
For Savannah, here's one of me with my puppy dog:
And please tell my little friend that our new back yard is a forest, too thick to walk through, but full of beautiful trees and wild ferns. And deer too!

I am so jealous! Savannah and I are so mad that all the trees around here are being cut down to build houses. Then they complain about all the deer so allow people to go hunt them. I hate that! Savannah wants to know about your old backyard on the water. She also wants to know the name of your dog and what kind of dog he is. I should just have her post the messages!

Ugh me too -- lately I feel like such a fatty-fat. I'm finally finished with finals (so now I'm back on the message boards) but of course I was snacking a lot. I don't own a scale (got scary-addicted to it in high school) so I don't know if I've put on actual pounds, but I feel really gross. I do think some of it is bloating from adjusting to my daily dose of citrucel. It's just really hard for me because I was always teeny-tiny, didn't reach normal weight range until college ... and now I'm in law school, and somehow not being abnormally thin is in my mind a bad thing. I'm also usually a 2, but have lots of 0s and some 4s. I can mostly fit into the 4s, but they are kind of my back-up clothes for when I'm not happy with my body. Hopefully all the traveling and other fun in London this summer will help me shed a few pounds. I would love to be about 5 - 10 pounds lighter and FIT (not bony), but who knows if that will ever happen. Yesterday a friend I've known since I was 12 said this was the healthiest she'd ever seen me. I know that is supposed to be a compliment, but does anyone remember the children's story Little Johnny Stick ? When I hear "healthy," it makes me think of Dimply Dot.
Ok enough of my ramblings ... good luck to all you other Losers.
