What's on Your Wednesday Menu, RNYers?

I'm really glad you posted this, I might give it a shot! The scale has not moved more than a pound in what seems like FOREVER, and it doesn't meAsure body fat or anything. I think it has become a vicious "why bother" cycle with the gym and eating for me. I'm going to text my husband to hide the scale for the next week and see how it goes. Can't hurt to try, right??

Clothes that make me feel great are my size 00 silver jeans and my sparkly lilac fuzzy sweater size XS. It still seems like a dream and I feel very tiny and feminine in them. And to think I used to always wear black and now I have every color in the rainbow in my closet and love to wear them all. Post op 40 months and weight at 122.6 today. On track with vitamins and fluids so far. Supposed to be a bit warmer today so Lily and I will walk at the park this afternoon. I will do a total of 4 miles between there and the treadmill and 30 minutes uses on the bike this evening. Here's the food B 1/2 c steel cut oats with protein and peanut butter added L 1/2 c pulled pork and 1/2 c Brussels sprouts D 31/2 oz grilled tuna and 1/2 c green beans S Greek yogurt. Have a great day all and make some smart choices! Hope we hear from AV soon!

I forgot to answer the question of the day!!  I guess I don't have anything in particular that make ma feel "great", I am in a slump right now with everything it seems.  Depression abound.....self shaming....UGH  I need to STAHP IT NOW, ggrrrr

I so really like my padded bras, since I have empty sacks on flesh for boobs now! LOL

I can't pick just 1 article of clothing-- I have SO many that make me feel great. lately my new (smaller) undies make me feel pretty feminine. My knee high boots make me feel like a vixen. And I like my form-fitting workout clothes (now that i have some semblance of a figure :-). 

I'm leaving work early today to consult with an aesthetician. I was supposed to get a facial but they require a chemical peel with their facials (???). I'm gonna talk to them and see what they recommend in terms of services- but i am totally against a chemical peel. And the younger boys has an orthodontist appt today too.

M1: 1/2 c. egg beaters, 2.5 surkey sausage, slice cheese

M2: cheese stick, 2.2 oz lunch meat & fruit cup

M3/M4? No idea. I will probably pick up fish from the market for dinner

A chemical peel is required with a facial?  I have never heard of such a thing, and it seems more than crazy.  I have what a huge number of facials over the years and have never run into something like that.  Sounds suspiciously like a revenue enhancement tactic.  If they won't budge, I'd find a different spa.

Okay, here we go. Day 2 of my becoming a woman...Woe man...WHOA! MAN! Just kidding. This thread is for men too..winkwink.

Today was a good day, I didn't even have to use my A**** Cube.

I'm finishing up my training to become an umpire for the PUA. Peninsula Umpire Ass. Then I can get paid for umping baseball games this spring. It's cool to be this active again. My son is digging it, as he's quite the athlete, and needs me to practice with.

My wife has to change her outfit for work about 3 times every morning. WHY do women do this? She looks great in each one, and I tell her when something does not work (she asks). And now, my daughter and her are both size 9 , so the "great sharing wars" has begun. I wish I had that problem with our son.

B: a whole egg, coffee w/ cream

L: protein bar, a whole one.

D: steak 2oz, zucchini (a whole one) 4 cloves garlic

S: small salad

Peace.

Do you know why women have so much trouble deciding what to wear each and every day? Because our society has placed enormous amounts of pressure on women, starting from when they are young girls, to be pretty and thin, and to fit in. It's a sad state of affairs. One thing I can say about being morbidly obese for so many years is it really made me put that into perspective. I was honestly not beautiful in the sense of what the world saw as normal beauty, and I got to a point where I had accepted it. It gave me a sort of freedom, because no matter what I wore, I'd still be at least 150lbs overweight. you can put a dress on a pig, or something like that. Now, I'm saying this not to degrade women in general or be hurtful to anyone, but to point out that our ideas of beauty have been fed to us over the years. The time has come to make changes in our society, and it starts with our children. The problem is that the people who see the problem are outnumbered by the masses of people who perpetuate the problem. And even those of us who see the problem, suffer fromt he effects of how we were raised and the expectations that were put on us. Down with the media, down with the man! *cough* sorry i got a little carried away there.

Okay, sorry, I know your question was actually rhetorical, but it got me thinking. Thanks for posting again, and the only question I have for you today is how the hell does your wife deal with you when you eat so much damn garlic? LOL

You must smell like Rachael Ray says she does LOL She always says she smells like garlic and its pouring out of her pores..... HE HE LOL

Nice to meet you

I change sometimes three times before I go somewhere if I do not plan my outfit. I will try the night before so I don't do this before work. I do it not because of what people think. I do it because I have way too many clothes and I have OCD when it comes to going out. 

I do it also when I buy something new that I haven't worn before it maybe out of my comfort zone.

Stupid work...I hate back to back morning meetings!

A few months ago someone gave me a bunch of clothes that she said I could give away to people I know or to charity. I was wearing a 12/14 at the time and these clothes were mostly 6s. She knew nothing of my impending weight loss, btw. I took a few cute things for myself and hoped they might fit someday. One is the slinky orange silk dress from banana Republic. I love it and it fits perfectly. Unfortunately it's s summer dress, but I still put it on and marvel at myself in it! I almost want to stop losing to stay in for the summer. But not really ;)

B: Fit frappe espresso

S: goldfish (at my second morning meeting)

L: Sargento balanced break

S: thin addictives, turkey and laughing cow wedge

D: fish?
