Julia - THANKS! i felt beautiful in that dress. it was a BM dress from a wedding i was in.
Battle - I'm glad the scale is moving for you and congrats on being a 20!
Debi - yay!!!!! a new baby!!! i'm expecting a niece in June, she'll be my first
your drinking a bottle of water before bed makes me laugh... last night i knew i needed to get my water in so... i LOVE this water that i get at w-m it's called clear something, it's a knock off of Clearly Canadian and it's amazing! well they come in 1 liters and they are .58 so i buy those, well when i finish one i will re-fill it and drink it again, and last night that is what i did. i drank the WHOLE bottle about an hour before i went to bed. i was up ALL night! hehehehe that should teach me! lol
Debbie - that sounds great!
Annie - wow that's great and what a battle. gastric bypass was created for people just like you that have medical reasons why they can't loose on their own. personally for me i couldn't do it b/c i know that i can do this on my own, or at least i have to give it a REAL good try before i'll go that route. and your diligence through it has really made me feel like a turd. i have been watching what i eat like a hawk for all of dadadaaaaaa... two days. and today i made some crappy decisions. i ate about 6 thin mints b/c they were there and i was bored, BUT it was between games of laser tag so that's ok right? i was being active while i did it. and then this afternoon i had 4 powdered doughnuts b/c i was bored. real smart. and then tonight we went out with the youth to mexican and i had a taco salad which is good? yeah but not the sour cream or guacamole or chips... ugh... i make myself so mad at myself b/c of my lack of will power. it's like i'm so afraid to commit to something or to even tell my family that i'm on yet again another diet b/c i know that i will fail b/c that is what i've done all my life. i'm sorry. i realize this turned into a rant on life... i just needed to get it out and to tell someone about it but i'm so ashamed to talk to DH about it or anyone else. tomorrow is another day, right?
