Tuesday Tidbits - early!
1. Food. Eating whatever I want, trying to break that....and then try to find the payoff for losing weight.
2. When it comes to anyone I love, charge.....if it's myself involved I tend to avoid conflict.
3. Renegotiated, or at least reevaluated. I also beleive marriage is for life, but each person grows, and if there isn't pretty much open dialog, people tend to grow apart. It's a constant job to keep a marriage working and moving in the right direction.
4. Westerns
5. DH tries to support me, but he still loves gravy and biscuits, fried potatoes and cornbread, and tends to cook these when I am trying hard to fight my fat consumption. He usually cooks some veggies as well, so I just try to eat those healthy choices.
1. No "payoff" maybe a protection barrier to keep "outsiders" away.......I don't intend to stay fat I just wanna get back to my voluptuous/chunky self
2. My first instinct is to run, spin around in circles, pass out and then deal with it
3. How about every five? Me and DH have vowed to repeat our vows every five with new rules and a new theme.......first time was biker trash (wore our chaps *me in white of course* with customized doo rags *bride* and *groom* and rode off into sunset on one of our Harleys) next year we are going with a pirate theme (DH looks good painted up like Jack Sparrow.....meow)
4. Anything twisted.....the wierder the better (Barker, King, Koontz, Haaissen, McCormack, etc......)
5. Nope (well I lied.....hubby wants a date night where he can get me drunk and take advantage of me LMAO--had to explain to him alcohol HAS CALORIES) other than that I have their full support......they make the time for me to go to Doctor's and get plenty of exercise

1. I eat to feel at ease. Food is total comfort for me. When I am sad, mad, stressed, depressed, I eat. And it's like a drug it makes me feel better while I am eating, but after I am done. I feel bad again beacause I shouldn't have done that. But I am going to agree with Tish I just want to get back to my voluptuous/slightly chunky self again.
2. Charge forward
3. I'm going with life sentence I guess I don't know about renewing every ten years. I think it can be renewed atleast one more time down the road.
4. I like mystery/romance. I like anything by Nora Roberts, especially when she is writing as "J.D. Robb"
5. No, they don't sabatoge it. I live alone. I mean I see my family often but not much when it is time to eat.
- Before the most recent years, i would have said sexual protection, I did not want to be attractive to my first hubby. Now, I think I am hard-headed and simply want to do it "my way"
- When faced with a conflict do you charge forward or retreat? usually retreat, get more pissed, then charge. At home with my sweetie, I never charge - he is so kind that I always need to leave that door open for him to say what is on his mind. At work, i love the debate of a conflict. I'm a fair fighter/
- Do you think marriage should be renegotiated every ten years or remain a life sentence? I was trying to be funny here! I adore marriage with the right person now that I found him - one life will not be enuf with him. Seriouslt tho, i think it should be renegotiated. Ten years is long enough to get a child raised if applicable. If they just cannot make it work, it's enough time to part as friends instead of enemies living in the same house for another 20 years.
- What is your favorite genre of reading material? Used to be a Twisted reading fan - now more finding God books, histoircal novels, bios
- Does your family sabotage your weight loss goals? How? I think I have mentioned several hundred times that my DH used to be on the skinny side most of his life. Now he is gaining weight, but he is ion shock/denial. He tries to get me to eat deep fried food with him at least 2x monthly and i always have to steer him away. Once in a while I eat it with him. Again, I think all foods can fit. That kind doesn't fit very often! LOL
More words on the fat payoff = while researching my wls, i uncovered a deep fear of being slim, ergo weak. Somehow, i equate being chubby with being strong. I actually heard myself say i don't want to get too thin....wow.
It may be related to my feminist side, somehow, i think i beleive that slim women are not taken seriously. Anyone share this?

I think I have to agree with you. I mean slim women are taken seriously as long as you come off right. But I dont want to be extra slim. Yea my goal is 145 which is REALLY slim for me, I have never been that little. I'd actually be content with 155-170 Because I can wear a size 12 and look really good. I like being kind of thick, with some meat on my bones. I don't want to be a size 5, because honestly if i got that small I would lose my boobs. Hahaha. I like them. I don't want them to get smaller. Haha.
