Oh my goodness i dreamed i met Ammie LOL! IT WAS A STRANGE DREAM THOUGH !

:tantrum: argh!!!!!!! what did i just do?!? i was getting snack out for the boys and having my portion-sized snack with them. they asked if they could have a piece of their halloween candy too and since they haven't had any this week yet, i told them yes. they picked their pieces out and while they were deciding, i ate two mini twislers, two mini twix and then had a full size kit kat. what?!? :mad: i don't even know why i did that, i wasn't even hungry! :?: just mindless eating and after such a great weigh in today!!! :( why do i do that to myself--i must have had a 400 calorie snack after planning on one around 175. sometimes, i think my body just acts without consulting my brain! well.....i guess tomorrow morning is a good day for a 45 minute WATP dvd! just had to vent--thanks for listening......lori

Hi Girls!!!! I stayed OP today. I stayed OP today. :wohoo:
I'm so excited!!!! The last couple weeks were so terrible that I'm just so pumped about today. I even got in a little 20 minute walk. More than lately. :-)

Thanks for all your support about Red Lobster. Lilion, you're right, it could just be
horrible service. And, you're right, never assue malice for what stupidity can explain.
(that used to be my screen saver)
But, it sure felt weight related.
I'm gonna have DH write to them. Hopefully he won't blow it off.

Wezi, I am so excited about 100 calorie pack cheetos! I'll definitely be looking for them this weekend. I don't think I could portion them out myself with out cheating. COGRATS on your weight loss. :dancer:
I'm sorry about the halloween candy. It is terribly hard isn't it? I feel the same way sometimes.....mindless eating.

Kayley, you hang tough in school. You'll be getting a fresh start in the spring at IVTC!

Melissa, WAY TO GO on -3" on your calves. That's just awesome.! :carrot:
You keep goin' girl!

Sharon, O M G, you could have been hurt really really bad. I'm so glad it wasn't serious. And shame on the staff for not helping you. What is up with them? Thank goodness that kind lady helped you up.

Andie, So sorry dd is still sick. My grand daughter is sick too. And remember, we didn't have the endless shrimp....probably a good thing cuz I would have probably been sick too.
I totally agree with you about the girl that had the weight loss surgery. She looked amazing, looked so happy, but said she really misses food. Cuz she can't count it in her program. I'd freakin miss food too! I'm using Katt's idea of allowing daily for a little treat.
It changes my whole out look on it. WAY TO GO on losing a total of 31". I'm so proud of you. I have to make myself measure myself. I just dread it, but it will be a source of
encouragement. And I agree with Michelle, her dad was a major jerk!
Like you and Kayley, I had terrible weight issues after 1st grade. And I am ULTRA sensative to being made fun of....or even thinking someone is making fun of me.
It's just :yikes: !

Jill, What a bunch of dorks in the insurance business. If you have full coverage, why can't your insurance pay for the damage WITHOUT your co pay, and then go after the other
guys insurance. That's what State Farm has done for me in the past. (and I think State Farm service is dependent upon your agent, ours is amazing.)

Michelle, :woohoo: on your new pants!!!

Valerie, what a great friend you have in Barb. I'm sorry you were having such a hard time. It can only get better now, right! And, THERE IS NOTHING EVER WRONG WITH CRYING!!!.

Zelma, Your dream made me smile.

Girls, I'll catch up with y'all tomorrow. Work hard and let's stay OP!
:goodluck: everyone :hug:

Ok, DH is watching DD while I work so maybe I can squeeze in a few personals too. Thanks everyone for the well wishes for her & the congrats to me.
I got some new shoes today! :running: Woo Hoo! I don't get many things that are just for me so I am happy. I feel sorta guilty for spending the money but I really needed them & they are for my health so I can sorta justify it. The are Addias something or other & are walk/run shoes. I took them out this afternoon & they feel wonderful, even before they have been broken in.
I went on walk this afternoon alone in the rain. I usually take DD with me & we go and feed the ducks but I wasn't gonna take her out in the rain. DH alread thought I was nuts for walking in the rain. :lol: I walked at a faster pace then normal because I didn't have a stroller to push & I walked it straight through whereas I usually stop at the lake for 10-15 mins. I got a heck of a workout! :eek: My legs definately felt it more then usual.

Michelle: Down to only 6hrs of daylight huh? Thats nuts. Must be such a weird feeling. I would offer to ship you some sun but I don't have anything but rain right now. :rain:
Way to go on those pants! I love it when clothes fit better! I wish it happened more often. Of course then it wouldn't feel so great.

Valerie: Way to go on the job. You sound like a real She-Ra! :lifter: Not sure if you know who that is, was like the female version of He-Man when I was young. You have a great attitude about the whole thing. You can do it & show all those stinky men what a powerful woman can do! I loved your line about a woman with a brain....
Congrats on your loss too!

Kayley: Sorry that you had to go through being made fun of also. I imagine college isn't that much better either. I actually quit school in the 10th grade (got GED) because of it. But with time it got better & easier to deal with & I learned that people are just morons sometimes & you have to let things go. I can't tell you the last time I got my feelings hurt by a stranger. I guess the adult world (outside of college & stuff, not to imply that college isn't adult) is a little kinder. There are way more overweight adults out there then there were kids in my school.
For a long time I didn't like myself & I was the first one to put myself down because it was easier then letting everyone else do it. You hear negative stuff about yourself long enough then you start to believe it, ya know? You have to learn to love yourself & be comfortable with yourself at any size. Losing weight won't make you love yourself, that has to come from the inside. Sometime between when I was your age & my age now (almost 26 yikes!) I learned that and it has made all the difference. :hug:

Seattlegrrl: :welcome2:
Go for you for not smoking! I quit 3 years ago & it was one of the best things I have ever done for myself.
Thats a lot of exercise! Good for you. Just don't over do it. If you find it hard to keep up that pace then cut it down. :exercise:

Wezi: Way to go on your loss!
We have all had those kinds of slip ups that you had with the candy. I know I have. Its like your brain goes on autopilot or something. :dizzy: :rolleyes: But you recognized it. Just move on. You can't erase it now. Just keep going & don't let it ruin your choices for the rest of the day.

Pochita: I like your attitude towards "abusers". :cp: That really is how you have to think about it or else you will become bitter, sad, and angry at the world.

Melissa: Way to go on your loss! :dance:

Raven: Sorry about your gain. Keep plugging along & it will catch up to you.
Sorry your stepdad is being a pain.

Zelma: awesome dream! funny the things we dream about. wonder if it will come true.... that would be crazy! :joker:

Ok, DH is calling for me. He can only handle DD for so long without me, lol. :rolleyes: See you all later. Have a fabulous night!
