A male friend took me to a spa on New Years Eve. Long story short, when I was getting in the hot tub with him, he said "It's okay. I won't look." Sigh... I realized I was looking like the love child of the Michelin Man and the Pillsbury Dough Girl. We are going on vacation the end of March. He hasn't seen me since NYE and I'm going to surprise him with my weight loss. Hopefully 25 lbs. And then keep going til I get to a healthy weight. Thanks for sharing your story, Suzanne!
