The good thing about a bad thing is like a consolation prize. So, I've had to drop out from a few dinner dates, forgo eating my beloved chips (that's calling out "eat me!"), consuming only warm plain water wherever I go ("...and no cold drinks, okay?" the doc stressed as I turned the door knob) and killed one tree too many with the mountain of tissue I'd used up.

But I sure am elated the scales registered 118 pounds... =P
