K, I had a really hard time with responding to texts at first. I failed the 48 hr rule - it was more like 48 seconds, or 48 minutes, tops. LOL

One of the things old-timers always talk about is when you get to that point where you can really imagine being ok if the M doesn't work out. I know I paid lip service to the idea, but for a long time I was still letting my mood be set by the slightest response from W.

Good job on the PMA and GAL. But hope is a good thing, too!

It really is a wonderful feeling to grow in strength every day from the things you are doing for yourself.

As for new clothes... I bought a couple of shirts during the real "DB diet" phase. I think I lost more than 25 pounds. Now, when W and I get together, it usually involves eating or sitting in a movie theater or watching TV... so those shirts are already getting a bit snug. <sigh> I'm *always* between sizes, too! smirk
