Thank You My Friends

I would like to say 'Thank You' to all of my friends who post here on this site for being here.  As you know, I had plastic surgery on my thighs and belly and gained 12 pounds from no activity and my husband feeding me junk for six weeks.  Yes, I blame that on my husband!!

Problem was, I was having a really hard time getting back into the groove of my diet routine and it was just way to easy to tell myself that the reason I wasn't working out was because of my thigh incisions.  By coming over here and joining you in your struggles and victories...cuz that's how we are, I was able to get back into the mind set of the 'right thing to do'.

*Drum roll please*  I've lost the twelve pounds!  I feel great and for some reason, I feel lighter now than before at the same weight.  Maybe it's because my thighs aren't rubbing together?  

So for all of you out there walking the walk and talking the talk, I salute you!  For those of you struggling to get your act together, I say...Never give up, never surrender.  For those of you out there kicking your own asses, I say keep kicking and kick and kick two, three, four!

I'm going to eat my salad now cuz that's my way of being in control of the little brat who lives inside of my head...the one who wants what she wants when she wants it.  Thank goodness she is learning to shut the hell up!!!

    Go girl!  YOU ROCK!!   (ooohhh, my perfectionist self doesn't like that the pink jumpies aren't perfectly synchronized but I'm gonna let it go since they're not competing in synchronized sports at the Olympics).

I knew you could do it.  I'm sure you look FABULOUS!!  (but you haven't shared any pics lately....what's up with that)

Umm, your pink jumpies looked synchronized to me.

Duh...12 lbs. gained = no pictures!  It's a fat girl thing that I haven't quite ever gotten over.  I hate having my picture taken.  Especially when my weight is UP.

You know what I love the most?  Not wearing tunic blouses all the time.  I can actually where short blouses, although because I'm short, I wear them to my upper hips to make my legs look longer.  My fashion tip for the day.  

Mary

Oh they're fixed now.  They weren't synchronized when I posted.  TG, I didn't spend hours trying to fix 'em.  You always have the best smilies (or smileys?) anyway so there ain't no reason I need to worry about lame a$$ smilies!

Take a pic while you're wearing one of your short blouses and post it.  We wanna see how fab you look (and I wanna see those high falutin' boobs)! 

Well, I'll see what I can do now that the 12 pounds are back down.  My thirteen year old niece gave me lessons on how to take pics with the timer, so if you get some pics, you'll know I remembered what she said!  If not, you'll have to wait for Dora to get here.  She seems to be obsessed with the new high falutin' boobs, too.  She still can't believe this is me!

Mary

Who's Dora?  I thought I was the only one obsessed with high falutin' boobs?!!

Dora is my down the road neighbor and we have been friends for 17 years.  That pic I sent to you of me and her 21 years old son Matthew at Harrah's was taken by Dora.  BoogerHead thought that Matthew was my boyfriend.  Pahleeze, I have regrets older than him!

Dora had a breast reduction and tummy tuck and can't stand it that I'm smaller than her now.  Her idea of a diet is to get more lipo!  Her idea of a good picture of the two of us is the one that she looks better in.  She such a fake that she takes pictures of my house and tells her far away relatives that it's hers.  Oh yeah, she's a total fake, but she's a lot of fun, so ya gotta love her, even if she is totally self absorbed!

Mary

Dora sounds like a trip!  Sounds like she makes the 'hood interesting.
I can't believe BH thought you were a cougar.

When you get here, I'll have Dora take us to the French Quarter, she knows all of the best places.  She should, she has been engaged three times since her third divorce!  You can tell I'm her best friend, I've been her Maid of Honor once and was good to go for all three failed engagements.  I think she just likes planning weddings!

I'm not a cougar, but I do eat meat!!!  OK, maybe that came out wrong...I'm not a vegetarian.  Quoting BoogerHead is gonna give people the wrong impression!

Mary

Yes!!!!!!  You LAUGHED in the face of 12 pounds...your DH (does dh=boogerface?) food plan...!!!

Mary, good for you.  And thank you for the thank you. It's true, we all learn from each other. i second this...thanks to all who still believe and come here.
