Hi everyone, I'm back and raring to go :-)

[babette22]

Well I am more or less over the op and all that jazz and had a very relaxed week and now am back and raring to go. I put on two pounds which is not as bad as I had feared at all and so am pleased. So it's back to counting calories and posting regularly. Feels like home on here so I am not afraid to admit if I gain or STS and I am always thrilled to share with you when I have lost. I am totally bent on doing this. Not a lot will get in my way. As you can imagine, when I want something I really go for it and temptation has a pretty vicious opponent in me. Tee hee. I am thrilled with my new name and though it's not on my passport I really feel it's me. My friends love it and that makes me happy. See you all around the forum. Thank you for everything on here.

With love

Babette xx

Love your ‘go get it’, determined attitude👍 Glad you’re feeling rested after the op. Hope you have a great week - those 2 pounds will melt off in no time😊 Names are so important to identity; great you’ve found one which feels right x

Yey, great to see you back and so positive too. It sounds like you've really looked after yourself this past week and 2 lbs in nothing in the scheme of things. Go you and looking forward to bumping into you on the different posts from now on xx

Great to have you back and could you throw some of that positivity in my direction please, I will be weighing tomorrow with only my tippy toes on the scales!!!

[babette22 7lbs in reply to Progressoverperfect]

Just don’t overdo it . I was in hospital for 9 days in Sept . I took it for granted that my food was cooked , no shopping etc . Small steps to recover and don’t starve yourself . Great to hear the positives though. Well done you !!!

A great message thank you xx

Welcome back I'm sure the 2 lbs will soon drop off babette22.Gary

[babette22 7lbs in reply to gman1961]

Thank you so much. Yeah, they did already! I took a sneaky peaky at the scale. xx

[babette22 7lbs]

That reminds me, I must tell you that for once I am actually looking forward to my saturday weigh in. I think I have truly done everything right so the scales should reflect that. xx

[babette22 7lbs]

Well it's tomorrow...the big day. Weigh in and posting. Wish me luck!xx

What a joy it is to read your words - and how they differ from those in that halting post I read some weeks ago from a fellow HealthUnlocker on the verge of transitioning!

I told you then (and you have evidence now!) that we would all be here, cheering you on from the sidelines, as you progressed along your chosen path.

And here we are!

True, some of us dip in only occasionally, compelled by circumstances in lives accustomed to chaos and tumult to focus on inconvenient annoyances rather than on this supportive community.

But we wend our way back when we can.

And when we do, and are met with mirthful posts such as yours, what a pleasure it is! Your narrative bears witness to the swoop of time and circumstance - and we marvel at the change wrought in the author!

Well done on stepping into your power and owning your life...

🥰
