Temptation and ponderings...

I promised Amy that I wouldn't weigh until August 15.  This morning I was changing the kitty litter and I looked up and there it was!  THE SCALE!  It was daring me to hop on and see how things are going.  I mean, I've been a good girl!  I went back to the gym like I also promised Amy.  I've been "regular" if ya know what I mean.  All indications that I should hop on that bad boy!  But I resisted!  I DID NOT WEIGH!!!  I'm so proud!

Ponderings...

1)  Ribs are evil and will make you pay!  I love ribs - the banana does not!
2)  I don't get very many people telling me they notice I've lost weight.  One of the girls I work with told me my butt looked "small" this morning!  Yay!  I hugged her!
3)  I can reach any area on my body now.  (and easily!)
4)  My rings are all getting big and my every day watch is way too big!
5)  I feel better when I go to they gym.  So why do I avoid it???
6)  I still don't wanna eat breakfast.
7)  I'm not obsessed with food anymore.  Even the 55 dozen donuts they had at work last week didn't phase me!  (Krispy Kreme filled - my old favorite!)
8)  I bought a bathing suit on sale at WalMart and I'm actually kinda excited about it.  Does it look great on me?  Hell, no!  But it's a vast improvement over the old me.  I wouldn't have looked twice at this suit pre-op!
9)  I love my new tummy!

Ok, glad to get all of that off my chest!  Thanks for reading if you made it this far!

1)  It may be the sauce -- try them dry.  But the smoke they use on them gets to me !
2)  I think people think it will hex your weight loss if they say anything !  I have one co-worker that hasn't said a word.  You'd think she would have noticed I had lost 133 pounds !
3)  Shaving my legs is a whole new experience.  It doesn't take near as much shaving cream or time
4)  Wait on the rings -- your hands will continue to get smaller.  Sounds like an excuse to get a new watch !
5) Me, too !  Out of sight, out of mind.  That's why I put my recumbent bike in front of my television.  If I sit to watch TV it haunts me !
6)  SHAME ON YOU !!  Now, did that make you feel better?
7)  Isn't it weird?  That's one thing I noticed about my daughter in New York.  We would order something together so I wouldn't have so much leftovers -- I never took more than a fourth, but she was always afraid she wasn't going to have enough.  Go figure !
8)  Recently found the two bathing suits I wore to Hawaii two years ago.  What a joke !!  They were 28s -- I now can wear a 14 !  Still am not brave enough to get a new one !
9)  ME, TOO !!   See you tomorrow !

The best bbq I"ve found that will set on my pouch is in Guthrie right by I-35. I'm not a rib girl. I'm more of a chopped beef girl. This bbq is NOT greasy.

2)  I don't get very many people telling me they notice I've lost weight.  One of the girls I work with told me my butt looked "small" this morning!  Yay!  I hugged her!

I'm with lynn on this one. People sometimes are afraid to say anything for fear of making us think we looked bad before.

3)  I can reach any area on my body now.  (and easily!)
Me too! Makes personal hygiene so much eaiser.

4)  My rings are all getting big and my every day watch is way too big!
Wait on having anything sized and buy a cheapo watch or one with a buckle. That's what I had to do. Waiting on having my rings sized when my weight has stabilized.

5)  I feel better when I go to they gym.  So why do I avoid it??
I hate it too.
6)  I still don't wanna eat breakfast.
Ok. Officiallyl time to KICK YOUR BOO-TAY! It'll make you eat less during the day, you know.

7)  I'm not obsessed with food anymore.  Even the 55 dozen donuts they had at work last week didn't phase me!  (Krispy Kreme filled - my old favorite!)

Me either.
8)  I bought a bathing suit on sale at WalMart and I'm actually kinda excited about it.  Does it look great on me?  Hell, no!  But it's a vast improvement over the old me.  I wouldn't have looked twice at this suit pre-op!

Yep. BIkini.
9)  I love my new tummy!

I love mine too, even though mine's different than yours!

1)  Ribs are evil and will make you pay!  I love ribs - the banana does not!.........Not a rib person, but if I were, I'd be pretty bummed about that!
2)  I don't get very many people telling me they notice I've lost weight.  One of the girls I work with told me my butt looked "small" this morning!  Yay!  I hugged her!.........
I know what you mean; although lately women at work have been commenting and men have been staring!!!
3)  I can reach any area on my body now.  (and easily!).........Tell Me about it!!!!!!!
4)  My rings are all getting big and my every day watch is way too big!.........
I don't wear a watch, but my wedding ring is really loose, so I switched to the right hand - my right hand is shorter and fatter than the left, for some reason!
5)  I feel better when I go to they gym.  So why do I avoid it???.........
I know the feeling...always tough to get started but when you actually do it, you feel great!
6)  I still don't wanna eat breakfast..........
Yeah, that's a tough one for me too
7)  I'm not obsessed with food anymore.  Even the 55 dozen donuts they had at work last week didn't phase me!  (Krispy Kreme filled - my old favorite!).........
I could care less about what foods are around me, the smell of food does not tempt me...this is so mind-boggling freeing!!!
8)  I bought a bathing suit on sale at WalMart and I'm actually kinda excited about it.  Does it look great on me?  Hell, no!  But it's a vast improvement over the old me.  I wouldn't have looked twice at this suit pre-op!.........
Yeah, I had issues with buying a bathing suit...I don't think I was ready; however, I love the one I got from Janet (love and bathing suit were never in the same sentence before!!)
9)  I love my new tummy!......... Love mine too!!!!

Funny about the scale....now that I promised Amy I wouldn't weigh...I think about the scale every day!

The inner thighs are atrocious!  But what did I expect??  It's still worth it!

I agree with most of your ponderings except for a few exceptions.  I like ribs and haven't had a problem with them.  A lot of people at work have noticed my weight loss.  For my loose rings I got these plastic tubes that slip over them at Wal-Mart in the costume jewelry area.  I'm so bored with the treadmill I could scream.  I'm hungry in the morning when I wake up and usually eat yogurt or a scrambled or boiled egg.  I'm still obsessed with food---I can'****ch the Food Network anymore.  I don't know if I'll ever wear a bathing suit---my thighs look horrible.

1)  Ribs are evil and will make you pay!  I love ribs - the banana does not!
I have only had one rib one time and my tummy wasn't happy either.

2)  I don't get very many people telling me they notice I've lost weight.  One of the girls I work with told me my butt looked "small" this morning!  Yay!  I hugged her!
Just yesterday a lady who works in my building on the 4th floor met up with me downstairs at the mailbox.  She said "you've lost a lot of weight haven't you".  I wanted to hug her.  I finally had one of our men from the other office tell me today that I was melting away (not quite yet).  At noon I met my DH for lunch at On the Border and shared some re-fried beans and chicken.  The hostess has been there for 3 or 4 years and knows me by name.  I haven't been in there much since surgery and she didn't know me until I ask her how she was doing.  She was astonished and ask me how much I had lost.  I haven't had this many comments the last few months until the last couple of days....125 pounds later.  It made me feel good.  Kind of like sickem to a dog...

3)  I can reach any area on my body now.  (and easily!) 
AMEN

4)  My rings are all getting big and my every day watch is way too big!
Same here but will wait for sizing.
5)  I feel better when I go to they gym.  So why do I avoid it???
I go to Curves for Women.  I know myself well enough that if I stop on my way home and just get it over with I'm ok.  Once I'm home in the afternoon I'm not leaving again.  I do have a recumbant bike at home too near the living room where I can see the TV.

6)  I still don't wanna eat breakfast.
Me neither.  I try to eat a little protein though.

7)  I'm not obsessed with food anymore.  Even the 55 dozen donuts they had at work last week didn't phase me!  (Krispy Kreme filled - my old favorite!)
That doesn't bother me either.  I brought a birthday cobbler for one of the men in our office and just sat with them, drank and talked.

8)  I bought a bathing suit on sale at WalMart and I'm actually kinda excited about it.  Does it look great on me?  Hell, no!  But it's a vast improvement over the old me.  I wouldn't have looked twice at this suit pre-op! 
I bought a new one in July and have worn it a couple of times.  Sure wouldn't want a picture in it but I sure did enjoy the lake and my sister's pool.

9)  I love my new tummy!  I do to and WW as well as Dr. Walton.  I now have a life again.  I also love all you folks on OH.  See ya!


This is the ride of my life.....what an amazing tool I now have!!!
