cndgoose, did you move back to the States now? where did you end up?? hang in there...stay with us friend! you cannot say its undeserved! You were so stressed that you didn't notice time flying by and your lack of eating? (that's a good thing, isn't it?) I'd say that's equivalent to being put in a coma and then waking 2 months later, weighing 50 lbs less! Hey, I think I have the perfect weight-loss idea!! come on...smile! yer still on my buddy list! that's something to smile about, right? LOL
