Thanks, Peps. I'll check out that scale. Xox

So true! I'm glad I left before I got to the point that I was grumpy or checked out!

That scale looks too good to be true. Not a bad price if it really does what it says it does (I expected it to be a lot more after reading about the features). Someone knows how to design a persuasive website btw.

Just a thought if you dont need to sell the RV financially speaking, my best friend's daughter and her husband rent out their 2 RVs when not using them much like an Air BNB. They will even take it to a local campground for the renters (I think their's are 5th wheels though, not driveable RVs.) Maybe too much of a hassle for you, but an idea nonetheless.

I love how in tune you are to the emotional aspects of your eating behaviors!

I am enjoying a no school President's Day holiday.

Liz, I don't think you are being sensitive at all. My feelings would be hurt, too. I can be highly competitive and critical myself, but being a teacher has tempered how I critique adults. Mike had a great opportunity to turn his observation in to a confidence building exercise. But it is what it is. He's a gem, and you know it, but we all have our little foibles.

Paula, my heart goes out to both you and DC1. Mental health issues are exhausting to navigate for all concerned. I know with my BFF, I sometimes want to scream, "Just stop it! Snap out of it!" But, I know that would only make it worse for him and would be counter productive because people who are depressed can't "snap out of it!", so I listen and offer support and sometimes for my own sanity I step back a little. I understand DH's jealousy that you don't have to trudge to work. I am the ONLY one in my circle who still works! I know how he feels!

DD, hope you are enjoying the Florida sunshine! I like your tanning technique. I look tan and outdoorsy and healthy like Liz now all year long. I have taken up the George Hamilton style of being tan all year long. I don't care what people think. Yup, I use a tanning bed and I like it! LOL! Every once in a while someone will comment with a judgmental, "Wow, you sure are tan for January!" I smile and say, ABSOLUTELY!

CC, how's dad's recovery going?

Ann, check out this scale: Hume Health Scale It's supposed to be one of the better scales on the market. I've thought about getting one once I'm done with the DEXA Scan process.

Hmmm... me, I'm truly in a transition phase. I can feel everything is in flux. I'm guessing that this is not abnormal with coming retirement. I am not a fan of the unsettled feelings. I am literally questioning everything lately - even my dedication to the dogs and showing... I am trying to quell my instinct to fix the unsettled feelings and just go with them, but it is hard to override a lifetime of dysfunctional emotion stifling.

The 30 units of new medicine seemed to have caused an acclimation effect. I had some intense gut issues on Saturday - the don't eat any more nausea feeling after eating a few bites, tummy grumbling and then a short lived bout of diarrhea. Sunday was much better, but I did have some nausea at the end of eating my breakfast (Quest bar, 60 calorie Dannon light and fit yogurt, and apple). The nausea hit while eating the apple.

As far as weight goes, I'm holding steady at 213. Some days a little above. Some days a little below. As my life feels unsettled I am finding emotional eating behaviors to be on the rise. At least I am aware of what's going on. Makes it easier to make decisions as the cravings and impulses arrive and I am not feeling sorry for myself.

I have decided to put the RV on a lot for a consignment sale. I've not had any luck trying to sell it on the RV sites on the internet.

Not much else to report.
