My last entry was in July.  Looking back, I realize just how long I'd been walking uphill.  I was tired.  I was always tired.
SO...... I looked inward and had a glance outward too-yikes! and summoned the help of the infamous Dr. Bernstein.  I decided I was not going to be fat and tired anymore. My inner pou-pounne was screaming to be let out-after all she IS a Montreal girl!!!!
Three months and 40 pounds later (I confess, that its only 35 pounds now--- post Portugal) I AM BACK.  
I am a whirling dervish again.  I am a fashionista again!  NO MORE STANDING IN FRONT OF MY CLOSET WONDERING WHAT TO WEAR TO HIDE THE MUFFIN TOP.  Egads, I was soooo tired of that daily ceremony.  No more spending too much time and money on 'accessories' because I wouldn't admit to myself or the salesgirl that I need a size, well, er, um, 12 or 14 please?
I am free.  (insert picture of snoopy dancing here) 
Sheesh, it feels so good to share some good news for a change.
