Girl.. YOU are amazing! I disappear for a while and you go and drop another 30 or 40 lbs! :D I'm so happy for you, Dawn. And relieved to hear your girlfriend's pap was maybe not great, but most likely not cancerous. Little wake up calls, I think, right? So now she knows this is something she has to keep a very close eye on. No biggie. Read your entry about telling an old friend your previous weight, your struggles with depression and the way it made you feel to get that off your chest to another person... IN PERSON. Way to go! You are just growing in leaps and bounds, girl. Isn't it "funny" that the more weight you shed, the more you "become" yourself? It's like you're GAINING all this stuff about yourself as you lose all the excess pounds. Makes my heart feel good! Glad to see you're doing so well.
