Topic: RE: Self Reward??
PS If you think this is a good idea, I know some people in Bessemer who would know someone who would do them...I'm pretty sure. They're into stuff like that, so I'm sure if they haven't had it done already that they just haven't thought about it yet.

How about boudoir portraits? Like glamour shots, but erotic photography...
I don't know anyone in your area, but if you did a search on the internet, you'd surely find one in B'ham.
Good luck!

Hey Sandy! I am going to Destin with you girl!!! I need the beach so bad. I haven't been in like 2 years. However, you are welcome to come hang out with me at my redneck pool .....I have sugar free pina colada mix and a beach sounds CD.....we could close our eyes and imagine!! I did buy me a tankini (size medium)a month or so before my WLS on the clearance rack at Target and kept it hanging in my closet as motivation. Now, it FITS!!! That was a great day when I put it on for the first time and it fit Now, I own 6 BIKINI TOPS .... no it ain't pretty, but I'm so happy they fit I wear them anyway! If nobody likes it, they aint got to look!
I thought about a tattoo. I have one on my shoulder and want one on the small of my back, but I am planning on some plastics, so I need to wait until my skin is where it is supposed to be.
Congrats to you on the -35 lbs WOOOHOOOO You will be there in NO TIME!! So proud of you

When I make goal, I plan to go back to Destin, rent a condo for a week (all by myself unless you guys wanna go too!, leaving the kids behind ) and stay on the beach in a Tankini 24/7! Newport News has the cutest purple n black one right now. I am tempted to order it in a smaller size so I can keep my eye on the prize, just dont know what size that would be.. I really want to go to Maui and do this but Im being realistic, my budget just wont allow that right now.
WHEN I hit 50 pounds, Im adding to my tattoo. Its just a small magenta rose on my right ankle but I want to add a celtic cross and *maybe* an angel overlooking, with my sisters name or initials inscribed, dont know yet, still unsure. I need to find an artist to help me design it! I am now down 35 pounds so only 15 more pounds to go till I get my new tat!
I plan on doing something for ME with each 25 pound weight loss, my first 25 pounds I just kept it simple and treated myself to a manicure and pedicure.

Topic: Bananas
I got this in my email so Im sharing it with you guys as I munch on my nanner n peanut butter. I am tired and have no energy so lets see if this works Love, Sandy
After Reading THIS, you'll NEVER look at a banana in the same way again!
Bananas Containing three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fiber, a banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy. Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world's leading athletes.
But energy isn't the only way a banana can help us keep fit. It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet.
Depression:
According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana. This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier.
PMS:
Forget the pills -- eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.
Anemia:
High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of hemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anemia.
Blood Pressure:
This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it the perfect way to beat blood pressure. So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the banana industry to make official claims for the fruit's ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke.
Brain Power:
200 students at a Twickenham (Middlesex) school were helped through their exams this year by eating bananas at breakfast, break, and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power. Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert.
Constipation:
High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives.
Hangovers:
One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey. The banana calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system.
Heartburn:
Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief.
Morning Sickness:
Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness.
Mosquito bites:
Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of a banana skin. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation.
Nerves:
Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system.
Overweight and at work?
Studies at the Institute of Psychology in Austria found pressure at work leads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate and chips. Looking at 5,000 hospital patients, researchers found the most obese were more likely to be in high-pressure jobs. The report concluded that, to avoid panic-induced food cravings, we need to control our blood sugar levels by snacking on high carbohydrate foods every two hours to keep levels steady.
Ulcers:
The banana is used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders because of its soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without distress in over-chronicler cases. It also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach.
Temperature control:
Many other cultures see bananas as a "cooling" fruit that can lower both the physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers. In Thailand, for example, pregnant women eat bananas to ensure their baby is born with a cool temperature.
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD):
Bananas can help SAD sufferers because they contain the natural mood enhancer tryptophan.
Smoking:
Bananas can also help people trying to give up smoking. The B6, B12 they contain, as well as the potassium and magnesium found in them, help the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal.
Stress:
Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalize the heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your body's water balance. When we are stressed, our metabolic rate rises, thereby reducing our potassium levels. These can be rebalanced with the help of a high-potassium banana snack.
Strokes:
According to research in "The New England Journal of Medicine," eating bananas as part of a regular diet can cut the risk of death by strokes by as much as 40%!
So, a banana really is a natural remedy for many ills. When you compare it to an apple, it has four times the protein, twice the carbohydrates, three times the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and iron, and twice the other vitamins and minerals. It is also rich in potassium and is one of the best value foods around. So maybe its time to change that well-known phrase so that we say, "A banana a day keeps the doctor away!"
