Good news - lost over 18 lbs since Sept. 1. Have lots to go but this is a good start.

Bad news - life goes on day after day. Same routine, never going anywhere special. Lonely life.

Special news - have been getting interesting reactions from men since my hair change and weight loss. Doors are being held open for me, men are saying hello to me at work, and am getting looks from them at the super market and when alone. Interesting and I believe there's more to come as this incredibly shrinking woman becomes thinner and thinner.

YES, I need to win the lottery. I long to take a vacation - at an all-inclusive beach resort. Haven't been to Mexico. Wouldn't mind trying a resort either in Cancun or Cabo San Lucas or even -- Puerto Vallarta.

Take me away from here O mega lottery. Tonight!
