wow!

you are an inspiration to me...We are about the same size now (although mine is all compacted in a 5" frame so you look LOTS skinnier)

Let me know when you're in those 14's...I hope to be too!

Bon, you are so beautiful!

And you're looking great! Your ability to follow this way of eating with your hectic schedule is an inspiration to all of us who lead busy lives.

Someone said it in the photo comments: You DO have a glow!

I'd never guess you were overweight from these pictures. You look fantastic!

Rob

Wonderful pics, Bon! You look terrific.

Summer

I second Rob's comments! Also, your hair is really gorgeous. Wish mine looked half as good.

Esther

Wow! You guys and gals sure know how to make a girl feel pretty.

I'm having to really focus on NOT being bummed out that the scale doesn't move these days, so your comments make me smile, big time! THANK YOU.

Funny story re: the hair. A few months ago, a networking event I co-host had celebrity stylist José Eber as one of the guests. While my co-host interviewed him, I stood behind most of the audience. My co-host asked him, "Who has the best hair in Hollywood?" José hesitated (I'm sure, thinking any one of his celebrity clients would be furious if not chosen at this moment) and I twirled around, flipped my hair over my shoulder, and smiled. He then said (and we have it on the audio recording), "She has the best hair in Hollywood!"

So, believe me, joke or no joke, I'm enjoying that little bit of trivia like crazy! LOL

Rob, I do photograph well. I know that. I think that's why I let my weight get so out of hand. I had no "evidence" that I had a weight problem. I always looked "fine" in photos or video footage. It's the cheekbones, my height, and my (blessed be!) "proper" proportions.

Here's a photo of me at an awards dinner three weeks ago (at 185 lbs.): http://home.earthlink.net/~violentmo.../RobBonnie.jpg

Note: no bread anywhere NEAR my plate! Hee hee.

Anyway, thanks everyone. Now, let me see YOUR photos!!

Edit: realized it's rude to put a big photo on a page, in case you're on dial-up and having to download forever. Just click on the link if you want to see me eating with my eyes closed. LOL

PS: going to add new photos from even more recent life to my company's webpage soon, if you're interested: http://cricketfeet.com (from the celebration of my second book's publication). Still a size 16, but a happy gal, just the same!
