I think they are all hard and all on my list of what I keep forgetting to do! Well I don't really forget they just seem to slip my mind until I've forgotten??? chew chew chew - eat slow - don't drink - drink alot - exercise - don't snack - drink more - get your protein first - chew chew chew - read the labels - don't consume caffeine - don't eat sugar - stay away from white flour - chew more - wait eat slower - stop drinking it hasn't been 30 mins yet - go walking - get to the gym - chew chew chew SLOWLY - why aren't you drinking??? too much thought!

NIce picture! You're looking really good! Keep it up! Love, Linda

I have been looking for a long skirt for weeks now (yes I am a shopaholic ) - I bought one last week in Penney's because it was there - I didn't love it but I bought it anyway. After work today I decided to take a ride to the mall just to "look around"...I went into Dress Barn to look at skirts...I found an entire rack of exactly what I wanted! I picked out two in size 12 (one black and one brown tweed) and went to look for blouses to wear with them (of course I couldn't just buy the skirts and be happy..noooooooooo) I found 2 blouses (luckily they were on the sale rack) - I went to the fitting room to try on the skirts (I knew the blouses would fit) and when I came out to look in the 360 degree mirror the woman that works there told me that it looked really nice but she thought it was a little big for me .. a 12 big???? cool! she even offered to go get me a 10 in both skirts...I tried them on and they FIT! not only did they fit I could BREATHE too! I don't ever remember being in a size 10 - I was a size 16 when I got married (shhhhhhhh that was almost 25 yrs ago). I was so excited that I went out and paid for them and now I HAD to find boots! I went nextdoor to Marshalls and found a pair of mid calf black boots - picked them up and paid for them - went to Payless next and got a pair of brown boots too - I was on a roll! Got home and tried everything on - the skirts and blouses look really nice and the boots fit but they don't zip all the way (there is about 3/4 of an inch that just won't zip ) ... the fact of the matter is - you can't see the top of the boot under the skirt (my calves refuse to cooperate and are still very fat ) so I am thinking that I might just keep the boots and wear them as is (that's really silly isn't it???but I need to justify this somehow!) oh well - I had a great WoW moment just to be let down by the stupid boots (it's not their fault - I really just hate my legs) there you have it - there always seems to have to be something to drag us down when we're on a great high hugsssssssss....Linda sorry for whining but I just get so mad! (oh and the skirt from Penney's goes back tomorrow!!! I will NOT shop I will NOT shop)

I know, I know, I never should have started back up again after the WLS, but when my mom passed in February guess what? I went right back into the habit with no hesitation. Anyway, because my upcoming breast reduction (6 weeks from today!) requires a free nipple graft, I HAD to quit or risk nipple death It's been 2 weeks today since I had my last smoke And I did gain a couple of pounds, but I feel like I am back on track now.

Everyone pretty much knows the situation with my hubby...Well I screwe that up big time And I have no way to fix it... I payed the $30 on the phone bill to keep it from being shut off till i can catch it up next month, the thing is I used the wrong account number and the payment went on a back bill. The woman at the phone company said no problem just go online and make a payment on the account and it will be posted today , I don't get paid for babysetting again till monday. Even if i could talk her mom into it today she doesn't come till 6:30 the bank closes at 5:30 It all boils down to No phone to reach hubby , hubby can't come here....So close and I screwed this all up. Please please please pray for some sort of miracle to unscrew this up for me. Hugs, Shel
