I'll say! She's lost 28 pounds in the last four and a half weeks. You see, on the 24th of last month, she had gastric bypass surgery. Though 5'10" and under 250 pounds, pretty much all her fat accumulates around her stomach. Her cholesterol numbers were higher than John Lennon in the early 70's. I repeatedly asked if she was sure this was what she wanted. She assured me that she couldn't control her cravings on her own, that making her stomach smaller is what was required.
A couple weeks ago, she warned me not to feel competitive, not to get PO'd if her weight goes below mine. Where a few weeks ago, she was obese, now she is simply overweight. I can see her features being chipped away day by day, revealing the person I first came to love more than a dozen years ago, well before people got addicted to shit like FarmVille.
We saw a movie on Saturday: "The Town" starring and directed by Ben Affleck.
The reviews were phenomenal (more than 94% positive on Rotten Tomatoes), so I had high expectations, which actually wound up being surpassed. Taking place in Boston, it's a heist movie which doesn't give short shrift to character development. After the Facebook movie, the next one on my list is "Hereafter". Starring Ben's buddy, Matt Damon, and directed by Clint Eastwood, one of its big set pieces is the tsunami that killed more than 200,000 a few years ago.
And just to show that I'm not going soft, here is a text message that I sent to a friend today:
"Tom's head is so far up his ass that he can see Adam Lambert."

That's really awesome news about your wife. Best of luck to her!
First of all Thomas, what is this skiping lunch insanity? Lunch is a meal you shoudl not be skipping my friend. Skip dinner if you are going to skip a meal. Better yet, don't skip any meal, eat a little bit throughout the day, that is the best way; so they say.
Kudos to your better half, that is awesome.
Another great review of "Town", I'll have to check it out.

Good luck to the other half, I know how see feels! I send her my encouragement and best wishes.
Well, good for your "lady friend". I hope the surgery continues to help her reach her goals.
