clothes wrestling

I am sitting here in size 20 Levi jeans LOL Hoping they will stretch out some around my calves. I am 100% sure I have lyphdema (sp) anyway the scale dropped two more pounds this week so I have changed my ticker. I have to keep positive and have to keep saying at least I dont have 400lbs to loose have been there and done that. Woke up at 3am worried about what to wear today. Going to take mother to a friends funeral and she said I hope you look nice.  I got a BUNCH of very nice clothes from Deb M this week and this is where I got these pants from I am going to wear these pants and a nice top today and I hope and pray I dont get any grief.                                                      Annie

Thanks Barb, I do not know the person who died but mother really wants to go also she wants me to take her to look at a scooter to give her mobility. Mother has Easter all planned out for me and her. She wants to have lunch at the clubhouse then wants us to go see Horton Hears A Who LOL if it makes her happy then this is good. Me on the other hand would very much like to stay home with my new parrot.                                      Annie PS mother dosent know about the parrot she would never understand

Siza 20???  That is FABULOUS!!!!  Annie, you are probably never going to get that unconditional pat on the back from your mom that so many of us have wanted for so long.  However, I have learned that I could learn to accept it from those who do love me unconditionally, from God, and most importantly, from MYSELF!  Give yourself a pat on the back and do what pleases YOU! I have been on a month-long stall lately as well.  I know your discouragement.  In fact my scales moved a bit this morning too!  I am going to give it a few days to make sure those missing pounds don't come back before i change the ticker.  I changed it too quick last time and they came back and had to wait a LONG time for them to go away again, not to mention moving the ticker down! Have a wonderful Easter and make sure you take time to enjoy your parrot!

Congratulations on your weight loss Annie!! Pretty soon you will be wrestling size 18!!

Wow Annie!!!!  You're doing fabulous girl!!!!!  20's....   Wow!!!  Be proud of yourself and keep that positive attitude, I am a firm believer in positive attitudes!!!!!  As for worrying you'll get grief, I think they'll be sooo happy with your results that you'll only get praises.  I can't believe anyone would give you grief, gees!!!  I'm sorry to hear about your friends passing.  Sheryl

Hey Annie...that is awesome!   Wish i was in a 20, whether i had to struggle into them or not...u got em on girl.   As far as folks go, mine came down the weekend before surgery and will be here until next weekend.   My mother drives me nutz with you need to eat, you haven't eaten dinner yet and it's 8 pm....blah blah blah.   Part of the reason for my eating disorder is my mom who took me for diet pills when i was 14 years old when i was a size 14 and she didn't think i was happy being "fat".  What that actually felt like to a 14 year old girl was that i was good enough for her and she couldn't accept me for me.   When i was about 38, i finally told her this and she had no idea.  She was only trying to do what was best for me.   When i told her i was going in for surgery, she said "you are not that fat!" and that was when i weighed 328lbs!!   My dad use to call me crisco....for fat in the can and thought he was being cute!   They just didn't have a clue and still don't.   I love them tremendously and even wish they would move down here with us but have learned to accept them as they are and just ignore what i don't like.   I even get a kick out of them "judging" my actions!!  lmao...  I had 3 dogs and we had to put one down earlier this year (she had cancer and was supposed to last a max of 6 weeks and lasted 20 months) and first thing my mom said was i hope u don't get another dog as u don't need one.   My response was to laugh!  She knew that meant it was none of her business.   Boy...did i get way off track or what. All I am saying is do what makes you happy and if she doesn't like it.....just chuckle.   I am 52 yrs old and my mother still wants to mother me which is wonderful.  But hopefully, i will learn a lesson from all of this for my child. You take care and enjoy your parrot!   Love ya, Pam

Hi Pam, Thanks for sharing in fact I too was put on diet pills when I was 8. I passed the royal inspection LOL  As it turned out I am the more sensitive one in my family and I think I am the last one mother should of asked to take her to the funeral. I became emotinal during parts of the service and mother did not understand since I did not know the person who passed. I explained to mother I am a very feeling type person and I wasent planning on becoming so emotinal it just happend. I cry at SHRIEK. Who knows I might cry at Horton Hears A Who tomorrow LOL                                                Annie

Annie,  I have some size 20 wide leg pants black pants that you are welcome to try.  I have gotten down to 16-18 and will be shopping for some new clothes next week with a friend.  The size 20 do not have belt loops and keep sliding down.  If you will PM me with your address and info, I will be more than happy to send them to you if you would like to try them after I have something new to put on. Happy Easter

Have a Happy Easter Annie and enjoy the movie! Pam
