Great pipes on this big gal, but Christ, I can't go back

This is/was my double. Her name is Carrie. I was this size just three years ago. I cannot sing gut-blues. Never could. It ruined my singing career 20 years ago. I lost 100 lbs then and still would not sing blues well. I am not sophie tucker. I am not michelle wilson. I am not bessie smith. I am abbe bee.

This gal. She is one of the "pin-ups". This weight will kill her, but we will all die someday and then be forgotten. So enjoy her while you can.

Abbe Buck (Abbe Buck, PR/highviz.net) goes from 367 to 207 - 212 and may be still going

Then.

Now.

............
REF: These are headshots, but they show a 145-150 pound difference. It's almost funny. I am still me, I just feel better.

I can use some plastic surgery, and I visit the plastic surgeon next week....I hate menopause (wouldn't you?) But hell, I am not a diabetic, I am hypoglycemic. I am not in a wheelchair, do not need a knee replacement right away and am NOT dead at 53. OBESITY, MASSIVE OBESITY KILLS.

No, I did not have surgery. I did once, in 1985 and gained all of the weight back when I became pregnant (a license to eat addictively). This time around I (starting Nov. 11, 2005 until May, 2009 and every single day after that ), I treat certain foods like a drug or alcohol I had to put DOWN.

If you would like to know more about my story, please e-mail me at highvizpr@yahoo.com I will then lead you to www.roomswithoutwalls.org and www.radiantrecovery.org . That is where I go, plus another program or two.

Plus there are books you may read, "Passing for Thin" a bit angry, it is a book by Frances Kuffle, a single, chain smoking New Yorker who has some self-esteem, along with "Quit digging your grave with a knife and fork" (the '12 Stops') by Former Gov. Arkansas Mike Huckabee, who lost 110 and kept it off, too.

Thanks! (scroll down for more of my pictures)

Mike Huckabee: Inspiration To Others

http://mikehuckabeepresident2008.blogspot.com/2006_06_01_archive.html

Here's another person saying "thank you" to Governor Huckabee for inspiring her to make the necessary changes in her life to successfully battle obesity. Abbe Buck, a Washington DC public relations specialist, says she owes Mike Huckabee "a great big Hooah!"We provide a short excerpt of her post below, but be sure to check the above link to her full post with before and after pictures.

MemorandumFrom: Abbe Buck[PR]To: Joe Quinn, Policy Director for State of Arkanas, Gov. Mike Huckabee

cc: (undisclosed recipients)"fyi* Hey, Joe, as you know, I was given a death sentence in August, 2005. I was told that if I did not lose some of my girth, I would be sentenced to a wheelchair. To me that equivalates DEATH. I potentially need a full (two) knee replacement and was too FAT to get one. On November 11, 2005 I gave up all SUGAR, FLOUR and REFINED FOOD cold turkey. I simply did what GOV Mike Huckabee is doing, and will do it for the rest of my life.""...Mike Huckabee's approach of "Quit digging your grave with a Knife and Fork" is a need in our life and times. ...I lost 88 lbs in 7 mos. I have 88 to go...

"Congrats, Abbe!BSR
