I love it! Maybe I'll scrounge up a new avatar in this spirit!

you are too cute!

the new challenge, Chellez!

Rhonda, get rid of them asap!!! You don't need the junk. Think happy thoughts and a healthier you. Think July 4th goal You can do it girl!!!! Think shopping for cool clothes!!!!

Anna, trying to get used to your new Avatar Why the change?
Plurk? What is it? Is it another blog?

Love it!!! Thanks Chellez!!!

I thought it was pretty snazzy myself!

Well off to pickup my extra tassles and head home to beat my husband to pulp!

God he's so annoying!

I was damn tired of looking at my face, and Peggy Hill cracks me up.

It is not a blog. It is just an online tracker of people who update what they are doing. www.plurk.com

Rhonda - A long time ago you said something in a thread that hit me. You said that you don't like to keep that crap in your home, because your home is your sanctuary away from that sort of temptation. Your home is your sanctuary... keep it that way! Get angry. Toss the candy at terrified children (terrified only because of an angry lady throwing candy at them) if you must, but get it out of the house!

Rhonda - Great realization. TOSS IT!! It's not worth the battle. Why set ourselves up for failure or just unnecessary battles with our food demons? I couldn't be remotely successful without a very controlled environment. It will not happen. Actually, even in a very controlled home environment it's hard...hence, my binge on hummus the other night. Raisins are another one that can get me. I even had to have DH take the quite healthy zucchini/carrot bread I made this weekend to work. I ate it for lunch one day.

Jill - I'm glad you and Jeff had a heart to heart and that it went well. I remember earlier on in our relationship (we've been together for 11 years now) I almost always cried when we were having a "difficult" heart-to-heart. It would frustrate me to no end. But, it's better than no communication! I hope he can meet you in the middle from now on.

You guys like my new avatar? That's me in onederland

You're beautiful, Tawnya! Your eyes show that your loving it too!

yeah, I am. i feel so much more sexier and livelier. I wore my red dress the other night. I bought it a few months ago thinking that I would lose the weight and surprise my DH with it. I showed it to him and he hated it and made rude comments about it. I really had to contemplate whether to keep it or return it. I just decided to keep it and wore it on Friday for first date in 5 years and I got the reaction I wanted. His jaw just dropped and he couldn't keep his hands off me. I loved it.

I like the new one a lot better than the last one

do u really? y?

You were also very pretty in your last avatar, but you just have a different sparkle in your eyes now? When you feel sexy, you are sexy! Glad you had a hot date with DH!
