Sue,
I tried atkins a while ago. It only gave me bad breath. I didn't
loose much of anything. But it is hard for me to do since I work in
the bakery dept at SuperFresh. A very ungalm cake decorator I am.

I was walking around the store today, looking at people as I do.
And I thought maybe doing the tummy tuck just doesn't matter. I
don't know. For so long I have been so uncomfortable with my self.
Maybe I am just a big cop out. ???

Well I was having a conversation with my husband (he is in Hawaii
while I am here with 3 kids a big messy house and lots of snow) and
I reminded him that my surgery is scheduled for Jan 30th. He said oh
you know I am busy at work and can't be very helpful. I said that is
ok. As I prefer to recoup on my own. He commented that it is
probably better that way I wouldn't be out shopping.. So good to be
married to an accountant.
