Yep, born, raised, and still living in the heart of T.O. I've never learned how to drive because of the transit system!

I guess by this point I better tell you all who I am. You already know my age because I decided to not stay in the closet about it.:clap2: Since I was 35 I've been earning my living building aircraft. I work with mostly with men, there are very few women on the floor, and this is where I met my husband. Actually, we are common-law but we've been together for twenty years. Before I started my life as a blue collar grrl, l lived in France for a few years, and before that I worked in university administration. The last 3 years I have been off work for depression, though. This is something that runs, gallops actually, in my family. As for my family, some of us are fat, and some are not. I am one of the unlucky ones, I guess.

I have my operation this coming Thursday. Right now I am doing a lot of eating for the memories. It is kinda like I am on vacation and will start work next week. I want to get all the good stuff in that I can.

Does everyone slime?

I've got another question. I was just on the general site, and it was suggested that newbies should introduce themselves there. Is it a good idea or not? What do you think, my fellow Canuckis?

Wow, that's amazing! I am going to have my band done at TLBC next Thursday. Your pics are making me feel hot to trot.

Thanx, Irish. Here is something that may sound kinda strange. I don't actually know my weight. I stopped weighing myself when I was 24 or 25, and when other people (like doctors) weigh me I tell them that I don't want to know. I figure that I am fat because I shop in the fat grrl's stores. The regular sizes don't fit me.

That cure always used to work for me back in the days when I still had cramps.

Oh, and I am getting banded next Thursday.

Hi Yoda, I read your stuff and was really amused. You had the X-ray fill, right? That sounded like the best way of having it done. I am getting banded by The Toronto Lap Band Centre down on Prince Arthur. Although I am looking forward to this - I am getting fatter and fatter since I hit post-menopausal land - most people I know are very negative about this choice. It seems that no one is happy to see me take this step except for my husband who loves me the way I am but is always supportive of me. As for me, I am fed up with the lard. There have been nights when I have been up at three o'clock in the morning, and I've thought to myself that if there were emergency liposuction clinics, I would phone a cab and be there.
