Did you miss me??

Donna, I'm SO glad you're back!!! Too bad about that bad storm knocking out all of your stuff. Take this time while you're alone to go out and shop or exercise, or watch some good movies you havne't seen!!! Turn the behavior around and do something else! Check out all of the new fashions that you can not fit into and find a good sale! (Don't turn your eating addiction into a shopping one, though!) If you're bored, which usually makes us eat, get up and take a dog for a walk. The board has been slow. People are busy outside and with the holiday. Our town is busting with tourists here at the beach and I can't even get out of my street! Keeping my taxes low! Bob is still in recovery from his RNY but is doing very well. Has changed onto puree stage and has one more week off. He's losing a lot already! Time to make breakfast for two whining kids. Oh, the joys of summer...and it's just started! Talk soon, paula

Hey Paula, well I didn't get your message until now, but yes, I did all the things you told me to do!! I totally played this week. It's been nice actually. I've been wondering about Bob. That's the thing, he will just lose weight at turbo speed. Ain't fair!! That's so nice that you both have had this now. It will make meal planning a lot easier (except for the kids I guess). I hope you're having a fun summer with all your tourists!! I run into that of course when I go to visit my family in San Diego. And it's funny cause there the speed limit is 70 and some of the sweet out of town folks just cannot get up to the speed!! Of course then when I come home and am still driving 70 I get a ticket!!! Have a good day Paula! love donna

Hey Donna, Sorry your alone... Being a parent of an 8 and 13 year old i am not looking forward to them not being there anymore..... I will also be bored.... I don't even think I will like be alone with my husband.... I can bearly stand him now.... I sometimes now feel like I would like to be alone......just a break...but when i find my self alone i am usually watching sponge bob...(Nickelodeon) sometimes when it's just me and my husband i will turn it there and he'll be like.....Heidi the kids aren't home we can watch grown up tv..... but i feel better when it's noisy.. I miss my kids when they stay away...... but i could hurt them when they are home fighting....(not really hurt them ) I Hope My kids live close so i don't have to miss them so much when they do move out... which by the way.. my son(the 8yr old) says he is never moving out... so we will see....... Anyhow... good luck with your alone time.... Heidi

That is so good that he still counts on you. I hope I have that kind of relationship with both my children.

Hey Heidi, you have a sweet relationship with your children! I did too, and still treasure it, and although they live 3000 miles away, we are extremely close. Funny you said that about your husband, it was actually on the ride back from taking our first daughter to college that I knew our marriage was over (with my first husband). We just didn't have anything in common anymore and it was time to stop the misery. Now, we are both happy. Love you Heidi!! love donna

Hey beautiful - I missed you! Hope your holiday was good. My husband has 7 days off, I can't wait until he goes back to work on Friday night. I would rather be bored than to listen to his insults. It seems like the more weight I lose the meaner he is. I don't get it - okay I'm done whining - Micha

Hi Micha, what is that about?? Must be some sort of insecurity that he has. My husband has been real sweet and supportive throughout this, but I find that I am the picky one!! I nag him about how much he eats, and all sorts of things. I need to get a handle on that. I've always said that he was so loving and sweet to me when I weight almost 300 pounds, but I am not that kind and I don't want him to get fat!! I'm so shallow!! love donna
