Saturday Roll Call

Hi Peeps,

Yippy it's Saturday. No snow yet.........more reason for yippy.......

Dawn, we are supposed to be going to a Super Bowl party at our church tomorrow. If the snow is bad, I'm sure they will cancel it. We have so many folks from way south go to our church. Doubt they will have many if the snow is heavy.

Crystal, I love beans, just not in my chili. I like lots of meat and tomatoes. Oh and its no good unless there are crackers to dunk.Chili takes all day to cook so the crockpot helps with this dish. Fix it and forget it.

I got up late and had my coffee. Been on FB and not much else.We are sticking close to the house due to the weather predictions. I guess i should take something out of the freezer. I'm pretty tired of cooking...more tired of trying to figure out what to cook. I'll be glad for summer and the grill again...easy peasy. Perhaps if the snow stays away, I can talk the Man into going out.

Saw Rosie on the View yesterday talking at length about her WLS. She had the VSG like me. Her surgeon was on answering questions. I am so stuck and cannot lose the last 60 lbs. I keep telling myself I can do it but it's not working like the first 6 months after my WLS. When I originally had the VSG, they told me it probably would be a first step for me and another surgery was probable due to the amount I had to lose. I dont see that for myself. Am I being unrealistic?  I need to do a pouch test and deal with my emotional eating. I have the exercise part of things under control but I am not able to get the emotional eating under control. Last year, when I went to the therapist about it, she just basically said, stop eating and exercise. Ok I exercise, but that just keeps me at the same weight, while eating my heart out.

Guess, I need to figure out what avenues to take to finally deal with this.But, I have read so many self help books, seen so many therapists, and still there is the road block. Something is in the way. I feel like its an addiction I cant seem to shake.  I also know I am using food instead of God to soothe me. Ok I am done complaining......

Enjoy this day the Lord has made.

Hugs,

Sharon

I just forgot to get on here this morning.

So much for an excuse, Good Afternoon Sharon and everyone .

Sharon, I am the same way with the last 60 lbs too. It will come off, just give it time.

I put beans in my chili, but I would rather not. So, I use 1 can of beans to 2 lbs of hamburger meat. That satisfies me, and Hubert both.

I finally got my sock drawer cleaned out. It was getting so I couldn't find a pair. Now, if there wasn't a match, it is gone.

They are saying up to 1 foot of snow for us. I agree, I am in the house for the weekend. Come Monday, I will decide if I am going in to work or not. I guess it will depend if I can get to the main road. Lots of times, the plow goes up our street and our driveway will need to be reblown. Hubert parks on the street, but he will be gone before they would plow it.

Leftovers tonight. A roast for tomorrow, and snacks for during the Superbowl. Ya know, we have to watch the commercials, its the best part.

Hugs,
