Better than yesterday. I was VERY hungry yesterday. Much better today. I am still sad over my bunny. I'm so sorry Karen...I'm sure this holiday is not making it any easier on ya {{hugs}} I am going to sell his cage and carrier on E-Bay. I have no plans to get another rabbit. The carrier is too small for Leo and Oreo.

Take care,

Karen

AF started late last night, so for giggles I hopped on the scale when I woke up this morning, and sure enough - I'm 127, not 130. So I was apparently holding water or something and I did all that fussing for nothing. Sorry about that, guys! LOL , but that is GOOD news!! I should have known better... like I said, I don't eat THAT much, I should have figured it wasn't actual gain when the scale suddenly jumped 5lbs. Duh.

I still need to be more diligent about paying attention to what I eat, though. It wasn't until yesterday that I realized those stupid gumdrops are 45 cals apiece. I don't usually stop at 1, and I don't always report those, either. Just an example. I know....just like my Altoids and smarties.

Anyway, thanks for the reassurance.

YEAH.... you will work things out... your body is adjusting....
