I feel part of this post viscerally. ...Hi Frances,<br /><br />I feel part of this post viscerally. When you talk about passing that 220 threshold and "... becoming a visible if unremarkable human being again" I am right back in the emotions of passing that same threshold in my own weight loss. I remember getting to a place where my experience was one of normalcy. It was as though I became a real person. What a scary thing. <br /><br />I totally get the sexual thing too. I felt terrified. No one understood. All my friends thought that I should be happy and joyful. All I could feel was exposed. <br /><br />You're the only person I know that has ever expressed these feelings that I recognize so well. So, what I will say to you is: hang in there. You are not alone. <br /><br />TerriTerri Watsonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15680498.post-54735219419552104262009-05-10T16:26:00.000-04:002009-05-10T16:26:00.000-04:00Thanks, I was worried!Thanks, I was worried!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00439536669517313517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15680498.post-55547096101360536342009-05-10T13:14:00.000-04:002009-05-10T13:14:00.000-04:00I fixed the pilot light.

My kitchen floor is cleaner for it & I threw out my old scale while I was at it.<br /><br />The gas on my stove isn't lethal -- it's a teeny spume that is continuous. I hate that because it's both a waste of gas, slightly expensive, & warm (either the flame is always on, very low, or the gas is leaking).<br /><br />But it's done.Frances Kuffelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14928021465309402200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15680498.post-2849401316422762582009-05-10T10:27:00.000-04:002009-05-10T10:27:00.000-04:00Bravo on all the writing, cutting, pasting, blendi...Bravo on all the writing, cutting, pasting, blending, etc. I know how hard it is to do that in a long feature article; can't imagine the task inherent in book-length projects.<br /><br />Congrats on the weight loss.

The smell is added so that people will know when there is a leak because the fumes can KILL you. And Daisy too. And other people in your building. Either by a spark causing an explosion or by breathing them.<br /><br />Your apartment has a super. I know you don't like to call for help but in this case it is an emergency and you should. Clean the stuff around it the best you can while you wait for them to show up.<br /><br />Only saying it because I care. We want you to be around to rake in the royalties from your book sales, right?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02700614225224691712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15680498.post-2826844805926327822009-05-09T22:14:00.000-04:002009-05-09T22:14:00.000-04:00Thirty-six hoorays for you!Thirty-six hoorays for you!bestgrandkidseverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09629470070775314321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15680498.post-27545396796806183222009-05-09T21:16:00.000-04:002009-05-09T21:16:00.000-04:00Frances!
