Literally, all.night.long. My husband finally told me to shut up and go to bed b/c he agrees that I am hot but he wants to sleep now, and I still want tol talk about the fact that I AM AN EFFING SIZE 10 and I am only 19 lbs from goal. 140 lbs lost as of this morning.

I most definitely do not mind not meeting your definition of HOT *shudders*.... 

I believe it is in the same thread where in a shroud of smiley faces topical aspirin applied to flaccid areas was being tooted carelessly and randomly for treatment of loose skin ....this not being the first time I have read this careless statement coming from the smiley face poster  totally ignoring the risks of acute salicilate intoxication by transcutaneous absorption *shudders* ... the thread even when the careless comment was challenged by a knowledgeable retired bariatric nurse remained in place - talk about promotion of deadly information - the thread CONTINUED to remain in place even when the then smiling face poster referred to us as OLD and FAT and I believe even requested another poster to post a bikini clad picture of herself to compared to the lollipop doll picture she had posted of herself (shame on you Martita for going there.... a sista just got to get downright feisty sometimes)...

It was on this same thread that I quoted a proverb often said to me in Spanish by my dad ... but I also have the English version ... I posted this and referenced the fool ... OOOPS and the thread went POOF.... so I decided to follow my dad's advice in dealing with a fool as posted and found the BLOCK button handy ... 

He who knows not, and knows not that he knows not, is a fool. Shun him.

He who knows not, and knows that he knows not is simple. Teach him.

He who knows, and knows not that he knows, is asleep. Wake him.

He who knows, and knows that he knows is wise. Follow him.
 

At the end of the day I do want to give the OP the benefit of the doubt and I believe his heart  is in the right place even though I really got taken back by his approach a few days ago when he supposedly threw a net in the water expecting the usual catch and then referred to some as being or needing a lesson in civility .... PROVOCATION IS A SIN ... AND PUTTING A BAND-AID PATCH OVER A DIRTY WOUND ONLY ALLOWS IT TO FESTER ... and get downright ugly ... until it is debrided and cleansed properly...  but then he came back ... explained himself and apologized...  

 You, my love, are the definition of HOT! My inspiration. 

I don't participate much around these parts so I don't know about that post, but the drama around here has been a little insane and it sounds like someone might be slightly off their rocker if that is the advice they are giving!

 COOL!!!  Congratulations  beautiful Mommy  !!    

 Thanks!

   Dayum, Courtney!  140 down and less than 20 to goal?  AMAZING!!!!  I  your sleeve!!!!!

If my ass were a 10, you'd not be able to shut me the hell up either!

Maybe you should do a few super short video clips on your ass and email them to your hubby.  Since he needs his sleep because you are probably exhausting him with your hot bod, maybe reminding him about it at work would be easier for him.



Seriously though, you do inspire me!!!!

 HA HA, thats a great idea. I am sure he would love to open a video like that while sitting in a room with all his co-workers LOL Maybe I should do it just b/c he is making me crazy today. 

I adore my sleeve, it's given me my life (and confidence!) back. 

Oh, it wouldn't be raunchy or in the nude--just you joyfully commenting on your posterior, and perhaps smacking your fanny, which will be encased in a pair of perfect fitting jeans, every once in awhile for emphasis!

I've gotta get off my wishy washy butt and get serious about a revision.  You are inspiring, even if you didn't have a hot booty!

In my belief I am inspired by the Man who insisted on a MUST GO through an otherwise UGLY place ... a place considered a ghetto ... of ill repute ...  YUP...

I am inspired by the story written in the BOOK about a Man who went through SAMARIA (an GHETTO place SHUNNED by the almighty goodies) and there in Samaria He met a woman of ill repute ... a DIRTY woman SHUNNED by many ... the otherwise UPPITY GOOD women of the times would have shunned her by virtue of the fact that she had to go to the well to draw water ... go figure that alone made her a low life back then ... to top it off she had gone through like 5 husbands already ... ohhhhhhh I can imagine the buzz BAN HER BAN HER GET RID OF HER SHE IS UNCLEAN, SHE IS NASTY, SHE IS A ***** GET RID OF HER.... but, but, but...

At that well in SAMARIA (the Ugly place) my sweet Jesus (my definition of Love) Went to Samaria and MET this Samaritan Woman dirty, unclean, BAD-ASS and unworthy woman and ASKED HER FOR A DRINK OF WATER?

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh how I love this ... HE, my GOOD SWEET JESUS... met her an unclean, shunned and unwanted woman by the mass of do-goodies ... he CHOSE the UNCLEAN and UNWANTED one and ASKED HER FOR A DRINK OF WATER ... 

oHHHH MY OH MY LOOK AT THIS.... He deliberately chose to affirm LIFE (ACCEPT HER) instead of overly zealous bigots that said this woman was not only immoral but ritually unclean when he asked her for the drink ....

OHHHHHHHHHH I SO LOVE LOVE LOVE AND EMBRACE DIVERSITY....

WHAT INSPIRES ME? DIVERSITY ... GIVE ME THE GOOD THE BAD AND THE UGLY ... I WANT IT ALL ... I HATE TO SIT IN A ROOMFUL OF PEOPLE WHO THINK LIKE ME/LOOK LIKE ME/ACT LIKE ME AND SAY WHAT I WANT TO HEAR ... I REFUSE TO KEEP MY CHILDREN HOME FROM SCHOOL BECAUSE THEY MAY MEET A BULLY IN SCHOOL ... I REFUSE TO REMOVE THEIR MOUNTAINS FOR THEM LESS THEY FAIL TO DEVELOP COPING MECHANISMS.... GIVE ME DIVERSITY OVER CENSORSHIP ANY DAY ...

ALL THIS LOOK ALIKE THINK ALIKE STARTS TO LOOK LIKE AN UGLY INCESTUOUS RELATIONSHIP AFTER A WHILE...

BLEED THE WOUNDS OUT AND CLEANSE THEM AND THEN BANDAGE THEM UP A START WITH A CLEAN SLATE ... COVERING UP AN INFECTED SORE WITH A BAND-AID JUST MAKES IT FESTER AND ROT...

SPRAYING PERFUME ON **** ONLY MAKES IT STINK TO HIGH HEAVENS ...

I FIND INSPIRATION IN HONESTY ... DIVERSITY AND MATURITY .... yup I love love love love to think than in the Samaria of my life I met a man at the well and He gave me living water and my life has changed since...

I have survived RAPE, ridicule, domestic violence in prior marriage, complete kidney failure and over 8 years of dialysis until a kidney transplant in my current marriage DH, forefoot amputation in my current marriage DH, daughter recently diagnosed with a chronic autoimmune disease Dermatomyositis/Polymyositis, son bipolar, and I ran an entire household as a woman of substance in the midst of all these challenges from my highest weight to this day ... under ALL the layers of FAT my substance, my character remained...

it was not always easy ... I cried.. I cursed God and I challenged Him until one day laying bloodied and on the floor where a kick was landed to my midsection I met a man at a well in the Samaria of my life ... right before losing consciousness ... and I asked for a new heart ... to love the people ... and my life has never been the same...

Now ask me why I embrace Joy... I hope My Story of the part of it I just shared will inspire one other sinner like me... thank GOD for not BANNING me! The Joy I have NO ONE  can take away frome me... I earned it and I live it ... by faith...

Thank you!  Sometimes when we are in the valley we cannot see our way.  We need a reminder from others who have been there and done that that there is hope.  I am always inspired by your posts I just want to thank you!
