A note from Bubba's Banded friend John in Florida

 

Guys-

 

I am so thrilled for the changes you both are going to be growing through ( and the ones that Bubba is is going through now).  I went through them and in some respects, am still going through them.  I just returned from another airplane trip and it gives me Goosebumps every time I can easily buckle my seatbelt  and THERE IS BELT LEFT OVER.......I have flown about 20 times since losing 100 pounds...and it is still a thrill every time I get in my seat.  I have lots of scary moments as well....some of my friends I have definitely discovered do not like the thinner John (most of that group are morbidly obese) and I think feel somehow "threatened" by the thinner John. I feel that my weight loss makes them realize they COULD do something, if they really wanted to....and that scares them too much.

 

I do not know what lies ahead for me in the long run...but I DO know what is in store for the two of you in the next year...and I am kind of jealous.....the comments, the incredible feelings of accomplishment, etc. that  you will both feel is such a high....I almost wish I could lose another 100 pounds!

 

Sorry it took me so long to reply to this....I have been crazy busy....built I wanted to let you both know I appreciate you sharing your experiences with me...
