Went to TWO cookouts yesterday and got so many compliments!!! I was so happy, although I tried to play it down, LOL. I think people are starting to get over the shock . . . always before, they seemed to be more worried, like I was sickly or something. Now they seem to like the new me.

Hubby & I did convince one of my uncles to give up soda! He said after seeing us and hearing our stories, he's convinced that he can at least give that up!!! I was thrilled! Hopefully he'll stick with it! He was sucking down a Dasani as we were leaving with a big smile on his face!
