hey everyone! i know i should probably have started a new thread, right? i'm not sure i know how, but if someone tells me, i'd be happy to give it a try in the future.
we just got back from a surprise birthday party for my husband's sister. it was costume party--i'll post pictures as soon as i figure out how to do that too. man, i have a lot of stuff to learn!
anyway, i don't know how many of you know the movie "the nightmare before christmas", but we went as jack skellington and sally. it was fun. we couldn't think of anything to go as that we could agree on, then we put that movie on the other night and thought those would be fun costumes. it's a disney movie and we love disney too (my DH proposed in disney world), so it was even more appropriate for us.
sooooo, the torture has begun. we went to run errands this morning and bought the halloween candy while we were out. then, my stick thin husband put some of it out in a bowl already. i made sure he only put out stuff i don't like, even though i did eat a couple of caramels he forgot to take out. i know the peanut butter cups are in the kitchen, but so long as i don't open the bag, i'm ok. only three more days until i can give it all out to children with better metabolism then i have!
here's a question for everyone.....is it just me or is there anyone else who has trouble letting their significant other know what their weight is? my sweet, adorable, loving, wonderful husband wanted to see my ticker the other day after i told him i got to move it and i was like "are you crazy?!!? you can't see my numbers!" then i showed him, but i covered up the weights. now, in my head, i know that he sees what i look like. he knows i'm no super model, he knows i'm not even a size 12. in fact, he probably knows i wear a size 22/24. but the thought of him actually knowing my weight, the real number, to see it typed on the screen, sent me into a mild panic! am i just nuts, or does anyone else keep that information to themselves?
just a couple of personals before i go:
melissa--i'm sorry you're having such a tough time. i do the exact same thing. i did it this week in fact. after all the excitement of moving my ticker for the first time, the first thing i thought about doing was eating a couple of oreo's with my lunch since i had done so well. what kind of logic is that? it's just a habit that i have to break. i even find myself using food as a reward for the kids i nanny (if you guys are good, we can go get ice cream). i really try not to do it, but it just happens sometimes. i don't have any great advice to give, but i also try to take a minute before i eat something and think about it (do i really want this? am i really hungry? maybe i really need a drink instead?). at least you realize what you're doing. that will help you make a better choice the next time. you can do it!
katy--great pictures! good for you for figureing out how to post those already. i'm going to make my DH help me. computers!!! i only really know how to send emails and shop!
and--way to go on the loss! that's great!
well, better go jump in the shower and scrub this halloween makeup off! hope everyone has a great rest of the weekend! lori
