What Have You Done Today to Make You Feel Proud?

Oh I found my partner in crime?!  I  my stilettos.  I even wore 'em when I was too fat to wear 'em. BTW, I've read some of your posts and you are so "right on".  I guess it's the name.  I had a great aunt Neecee and she was direct and honest and fun and cool.

Thank you!  Means a lot from such a success story as you are!  I am such a perv, for shoes and men. I am one of *those* women. Yup.  I drive thru a cosntruction zone (men in tool belts) and think wow this is just like a candy store... And I cannot walk in a shoe store. i am leaning on the racks trying on all of them!  PS...Mary...a TRUE friend would not ASK to borrow Manolos....

Uh oh, once again the plastics board has been guilty of being ill mannered.  A while back we had a discussion on shoes after weight loss and someone put up a pic of some Manolos.  We had those things borrowed out all over the country.  I think right now they're in Kansas! Sorry for the faux paux, that's what I get for hanging out with the low rent board! Mary

  Hahhahha.. who says he "gets away" with it!.. lol  He just can't resist a BUTTERFINGER BLIZZARD! Chris is a nice, young, Christian man who gets a jones for the taste of Butterfinger!  I can empathize with him because I went through a period where I couldn't stop thinking about having a coke.  Neecee rushed in to the rescue with the suggestion of having Coke Zero!  AMEN   I kept jonesin'.. kept feeling the pull of the coke saying "Looooooori.. drink me...  fall down the rabbit hole".  Reluctantly, I poured a Cherry Coke Zero into a frosty glass filled with ice and the sound of the sizzle alone satisfied my jones... but just to take it to it's logical conclusion.... I drank it - and now I have a new best treat..   I have my NO calorie, NO carb soda which makes me feel like I'm a dirty, rotten cheater (and it feels so good).

I look forward to "meeting" Chris and hearing about his butterfinger blizzard orgies.

I allow myself to have food that's not healthy but I just do it less often than I used to.

No, Mary, not weird...at all. It is truly a PSA to post those pictures. There are some memorable folks...that one lady, a little RN...whoa.  About my age, and my tendency was why bother at this age.  Her ps'ed up body was amazing.  OOOOHHH<------that's why.....she just looks brand new.  On behalf of the Silent Majority of Lurkers...I salute you. I read another person's perfectly dreadful memories of obesity (involved a Mommie Dearest , which always breaks my heart that any child would suffer like that) and again, I salute you for breaking those bonds. Sometimes it is hard to take. Today? me? Got my bigass outa bed to walk before work. Wore a mask, almost too smoky to walk, but at least the smoke was above the poles.  I had not fallen asleep until after 11...after that stopped looking at how late it was. Got up, more or less at 4:40 or so.....drank coffee til 5:15, then got myself out that door. One hour wog - fast walk/jog for those who may not know.  EDIT:  Honorable mention proud:  NO birthday cake at break time when all others did. Ok, yes i had 2 beers and 2 shots, butttt that is beside my POINT here....

Now about that POINT.  I thought the program you are on is one where if you don't eat the cake you get to drink the hooch.  Same one my DH is on while he's trying to maintain his girlish figure! And thank you for 'splaining' wog cuz I was wondering what the hell you were doing for an hour.  That sounds intense!     I didn't know that you were a lurker on the plastics board.  We have a lot of fun over there.  Come join us sometime.  Yanno, I'll be fifty-one in August and I'm shocked at this body.  I just wanted the skin off.  Who knew I'd have T&A in my fifties?  Gotta love a doc who can perform THAT kind of miracle! Mary

You GO girl.. be proud of the TATA's!   I'm 45, and after all this weight, I'm "lacking" to say the VERY least and I was considering a little enhancement.  Fortunately, I don't have much of a skin issue.. but my D's are now little B's and squishy.

Lori, after losing as much weight as you have, "lacking" is only natural.  When I was a size H and hanging down to my thighs, I never even would have considered implants.  Now I love them because I got all of that weight off the old breasts and the implants don't strain my back and shoulders.   And to say that they are a morale boost is an undersatement! When ya gettin 'em?  Mary

HAHHAha... Mary...  this is just a "thought".  First off.. I would like to lose 40 or 50 more lbs.  I don't know if that's possible... but I wanna.  Secondly, I'M A SCARED CHICKEN SH*T PERSON WHO CANNOT HANDLE PAIN!  :)
