who cares and why do we do it?

OMG, so last night I'm sitting here, with my DH, and I'm like,  "so I"ve lost 19 lbs", but, that was from first consult... but I still have to loose 8 lbs. to be where I was last summer! but really, about 15 lbs. from my lowest weight....I lost 5 lbs with the LIquid diet, but gainned 6 in the hospital, oh, and then I lost 2 from the ... I look over to my DH and he has this Lost look on his face. !!!! hehehe... OMG, who CARES !!!! He is such a wonderful man, so supportive, but really now, who the Hell gives a S***? why do we do this to ourselves?  I go to bed at night and try to figure things out mathamatically so I will be lighter.  I'm so weird...... ya'll have a great day, I'm going to Walmart to figure out what size I wear, and compare it to what I wore last summer and the summer before that....  Cheryl

Cheryl, You are so funny.  I do the same thing.  Except I calculate to the tenth of a lb. Like I 've lost 6/10ths of a lb. this week.  I'm 3lbs. lighther on my Dr. scale and so I'm always calculating how much I weigh there.  It's really silly isn't it.  I don't know if it's the same for you but my obsession comes from a lifetime of dieting and I can pretty much pin point how much I weighed for almost every occasion throughout my life.  I look forward to saying " I've lost and kept off half my body weight for the rest of my life."  We'll see.... Have a great day. HUGS

Cheryl, You are funny!  Gotta love it!  I do the same thing!  I come bounding into the kitchen to say "You know, I weigh less than........"whatever the occasion ...and DH just looks at me and says, "Yeah, that's good!"  I just don't think they "get it"!!  Being on a diet and being overweight all or most of my life  (DH is 5'10" 165...never been overweight in his life!!)  They just don't understand how important this is to us!!!  Yes, they are supportive, but they are....well, pardon the expression.......MEN!!!!!!!!  Do they GET anything that we say???  hahaha    Don't get me wrong..I love my hubby, but he's on Mars most of the time!  So, Cheryl...keep pluggin along and he'll figure it out when you are lookin HOT this summer!  Then he'll understand!!!!!!!     Ruth

so, I'm trying to figure out what i'm gonna wear Friday (you all know this already) haha, so I ask my DH, so I think I"m gonna wear my black stretch/exercise pants, and he says "OH, the ones your always wear"? so I took that like I guess, I should not wear them and wear some jeans... so I go to walkmart today, and what do I buy?  a pair of stretch/exercise pants, BUT ! Navy Blue ones.... so that way, he can't say I wear them all the time, and I'm comfy.  shoot, now what to wear for a top. hehe!!  I can't wait to have my staples out, they are driving me nuts.  itchy and every shirt I wear it rubs and its so sensitive.  I am counting the days to puree some chicken legs.... yummmyyyy, with sweet pot. OMG<
