Dawn, I went to look at your pictures but it says it requires a password. Not much going on here today either just working and church tonight. Hubby has left for an overtime trip for work so just me and the four boys. Have a great hump day. Teresa

Well...my Tuesday was spent CLEANING!!! I woke up around 2pm and got a call from the bank saying that they were coming over tomorrow around 2pm to do the appraisal on the house. We want to refinance to help pay for my Plastic Surgery. My house was a mess, so I started cleaning and cleaned and cleaned until I left for work. I spent about 15 minutes getting myself ready for work and about 15 minutes to eat. Other than that I was goin'! I know that the house doesn't have to look great for a refi, since we aren't planning on selling, but I still want it to look good if someone is coming over. Monday we went to the Local Fair. My neice ran for Fair Queen. She didn't win, but she said she had fun. The day revolved around getting her ready and going to the fair to see her. We also let the kids ride on the fair rides. They loved it. Then I had to go to work. YEP...I have to actually travel into the office this week and next week. YUCK!!! It is a 50 mile trip ONE WAY!!! SUCKS!!!! It has been busy at work the past two nights, so not much naptime for me. LOL. Maybe tomorrow night will be better. I am working 5 nights this week (Five 10-hour shifts) and next PLUS I worked the holiday. Can't wait to get this check. I need to work on getting my credit card bills paid in advance some how, so that when I am off for my surgery with Short Term Disablity, I won't fall behind. I spoke with my boss this morning and I think I might take off 3 weeks for my surgery. Hope everyone else is doing well. Can't wait to see those tie-dyed creations. Hugs, Tabby

Don't beat yourself up, Patty!!!! Been there, done that...honestly...doing that!!!! It was a holiday weekend, we had a picnic, I had JUNK...roast beef sandwich, cake, chips...whatever!!! This week is our local fair and I plan on eating dinner at the fair one night. I'm not going to beat myself up. EVERYONE has days that they slide. Even people that have not had WLS have bad days. Just realize what you did and don't make it a habit. Get back on track, drink lots of fluids to flush those carbs out of your system and remind yourself how far you have come and how great you are doing. You will get back on track and this weekend will be just a bad memory. It's just a bump in this long road we are travelling. It doesn't ruin the whole trip. Hang in there, sweetie!!! Hugs, Tabby

I have lost 165pds, i feel so much better and thank you all for making me feel welcome.

I am battling my bad food habits again too. I am trying not to let them control me but it's hard. My problem is answering to my head hunger instead of the real hunger. Together we can get back on track. Hang in there! Allison
