Getting Angry to Easily

Hi to all my friends on this Message Board. I know that I need to control my temper and really try to.I try my best to go with the flow and not with anyone. I used to attend Weigh****chers and really had no luck with it. I would take off maybe 20 then gain back right away. There used to be a lady there who was going there to lose 20 pds. In my opinion she really did not need to lose it. When she would see me she would say ,,,"BOY OH BOY" IF YOU WOULD LOOSE ABOUT 100 POUNDS THE GUYS WOULD BE CHASING AFTER YOU. Well low and behold here I am sitting at 130 lbs . I am slim and trim. I finally see her in the store today. I say HI....she had no idea who I am. I take off my sunglasses and she says.....OH MY LORRAINE "YOU ARE HALF YOUR SIZE" I would say you are a bit underweight. OH my!!!! I was so and then I realized.... You can't satisfy everyone. I MUST SATISFY MYSELF.DON'T PEOPLE THINK BEFORE THEY TALK. WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE? I think it's me. Do any of you guys get these motor mouths that just don't think before they talk? Have a great day everyone and Peace and Love and Good Health to all. Lorraine

Dear Lorraine, My sister and brother didn't gain weight until they were in their 30s. I started gaining as soon as I got my first period. Anyway, my brother-in-law...My sister and brother-in-law live in Connecticut and I barely ever see them... I saw him a few times in the last year and he ALWAYS says, "oh Allison, you are a half of what you used to be" That just sounds like such an insult to me, so I know EXACTLY what you mean. My husband tends to insult me and he thinks it's funny, but for once, the other day this happened. He is 6 years older then me, and I did have this really really nice thing happen to me. We went to watch Jaime play POWDER PUFF football for homecoming. She is a Junior and it is the Juniors against the Seniors, and one of their friends mother's said, "Your wife looks young, how old is she?" and he said, "She's a freshman." Okay, that was a dumb story to tell, but it made me laugh. Oh! BTW... You DID handle your temper. You didn't shoot her, did you? Allison

Allison, How are you? That was a cute story you told. I guess you do have to laugh it off sometimes.I try to cool myself, but sometimes people just don't think. Have a great week P.S. I have just tried a new protein bar that is so good. I thought I would pass it on to you. I usually can't get them down but this one was recommened to me by a great friend. Here are the stats on it and the name of it. I bought it in the Vitamin Shoppe. "POWER CRUNCH BAR" The FRENCH VANILLA CREME IS THE BEST. I bought 1 to try it out and then went back for the case. 180 calories 14g protein cholesterol 0mg 4g sugar sodium 75mg fat 9g I am really loving this bar.....Try it guys ...Lorraine

I read on the main forum that those power crunch bars are really good. I will have to try them also. Thank you for the tip.

Hi Allison, Great............................ is the word. I just can't explain it. The best yet. I work 3-11pm and tend to eat when I get in at night. I put one by the computer and ate it. I know it have that and stop. At least I know the calories. I need stuff in portions. I am like a child. Good luck in trying them. I am sure you will agree. I hope others read this and try it. It is one way to stay away from the bad crunchies. Happy Thursday to all.......Lorraine
