I just checked my scores, when I went to bed last night and all games were final the scores where 46 to 49, I knew I needed about 5 points to keep my lead, I just looked and now it is 39 to 49.....how the heck did I lose points??? this is really making me agitated.....

Good morning. Yes, I went to be around midnight last night. Highly unusual for me. I was tired and I have church this morning. The only problem with me going to be that early is I wake up several times because my body feels I am just supposed to be taking a nap.
I did take Mary to see the Nights in Rodanthe or whatever the title was. I had heard a lot of good on it. Unfortunately it was way too slow for me. I went to sleep when she had received a couple of letters from Gere and then I saw her argue with her kids. Then I saw the inside of my eyelids. Woke up during a scene I won't mention because I do not want to ruin the movie for anyone else.
Then we went home. Played a couple of games of poker. Then went to our auction for our church music program. I bought four items. One was a "Board of Communication AKA Honey Do List" (A bulletin board with a place for yellow stickies and a cork board with pins to put notes on). Then I got a calendar stand. A picture of a cardinal. And a ginger jar. It was for a good cause. We had people paying $70 for an apple pie.
Well, going to church soon. I am DVRing the Cowboy game. I will catch up when I get home from church.
And of course, work tonight. See y'all later.

My daughter Mary and I went out to lunch and shopping. Just the two of us, no kids, no husbands, just Mother and daughter bonding. First time since she became a Mom and looong overdue.
We had a couple of issues to work out. Long story but basically we both tend to stuff hurt feelings and emotions deep inside. And here I thought she didn't take after me at all.
My daughter is positive that I am anorexic and dieing! Her tears and strong emotions took me by surprise. She thinks I am grossly underweight and never eat a "normal" meal.
OOOOH BOY!! She was sobbing with fear and concern.
Mary is well educated and has a medical background. She teaches paramedic teachers and her husband is a doctor. She has read quite a bit about WLS but seems to have retained all the negative aspects.
Unfortunately, she has not been objective and blames all my 'bumps' in this journey on poor nutrition. Seeing her mother at this size, smaller than either of my daughters for the first time in their lives, makes her think there MUST be something wrong.
My head was splitting, my heart was breaking for her.
I tried to explain that the problems are not because I don't eat correctly. My eating pattern is normal for a bariatrics person, not for her or her sister. You all know our spiel - obesity VS WLS, complications, supplements, nutritional needs, etc., it was a tough conversation.
To make her happy I made an appointment with my dietician on Tuesday. Mary has some unanswered questions which I plan to get in writing. Melanie has a field trip that day or I'd drag Mary along with me.
All the years that I have been nagged and pastered about being overweight, now she is scared to death because I am not fat! Exhausting, frustrating, and wearing me out.

Hi Annette,
I had to respond because I am going through something similar with my girl. Although she is only 19. She is VERY sad that I don't "look" like her "mama" I went to pick her up at college Friday and she had a pic of me when I was at my fattest and said "I'm not taking it down, that's how I remember you and have known you my whole life." She also comments how "skinny" I feel when she hugs me and that she doesn't like it. She tells me she is proud of me but that it is hard to see me like this. It maybe that she only sees me every so often and unlike Tom who sees me everyday it hits her when she hasn't seen me for a while. She too, keeps telling me not to lose more weight. So while it's not coming from one with any medical background, it still kinda hurts when she is so disconcerted about how I look. I feel kinda bad for her but do wish now she could get over it....
Hopefully they can see how much healthier we are (despite some of the bumps) and start remembering us in our new bodies.

Thank you so much Cheryl,
I almost didn't post this. It does hurt and makes my old insecuries surface. Especially the one that screams "you are not good enough!!"
Mary hadn't seen me since before the hernia surgery. I know I am kind of pale and don't look 100 % healthy. Perhaps that struck her when she saw me. Lordy - she should have seen me without make-up!!!

Sigh.....Annette, I'm glad you and your daughter had time together, but so sorry she has these issues. At least you were able to talk them out. It's REALLY too bad that she can't go to the dietician's appointment with you, it might ease her fears/concerns.
Sometimes we just can't win, can we?
Love and hugs

Annette.............I love the line: ........... ".pain in the ass since a year BEFORE conception". hahahaha....too funny!
The things you have mentioned and others that have experienced similar incidences is exactly what my Psychologist and I talked about in my consult with him. I have all this ahead of me of course but it has helped me tremendously reading all your posts of things such as these. Thank all of you, my OFF friends!!
Perhaps this will happen to me too???.......My family thinking I'm TOO THIN???? Wow...hard to comprehend.
Hugs,
Sandy
