Kier/Cordelia - thanks for the permission to honk my own horn about the skin thing... Cinneberry, eh?? Sounds awesome. I always wished I could go more red - but I look jaundiced when I do. I have super yellow reflective skin, its weird! You are right, I should just be myself and not be all caught up in weight, after all, she'll like me no matter what I look like if she likes who I am.....so, I guess we'll wait and see, and if she doesn't, I'll send her to you!! Hee hee...
My mom NEVER picks up the call waiting, it drives me NUTS. Exactly how many people live in your house? Wow.....keep us posted on the job situation. Oh, and the mode thing, I didn't do that last year, but I did go to Visions and I won a modelling contract with Blanches in Vancouver. It was cool b/c out of over 900 girls, only 40 got called back. Ican't remember the exact # now. Teh ohter agencies told me I am too short, just under 5'7. So I was turned away.....SIGH!! I might try the mode this year, just for fun, we'll see....I haven't even followed up the the Blanches thing...I have gone on and on about this before, but the bottom line is, I just don't know if its my thing....ANYWAY...that is a whole other ball of wax. But thanks for thinking of me!!

Tonya - I can't even imagine being thin - I mean, even now its weird to be like this - but being thin all your life - you are so lucky!!! Ah, the greener grass again. YOu are going commando!! I have never had the guts, but I do do the thong thing, which for me is adventurous.

Lori - let the jiggle go adn try a thong - you have nothing to lose!! If you don't like it, use it as a slingshot to pelt your annoying neighbours!

Well, I better get some lunch!! Nothing like the michelina lifestyle TV dinner....

Ok, I am back. Lolly, yes, I will miss daytime TV. How many shows can I tape and watch? Oh well.

Tonya: did you graduate in '89? I did! At my ten year I was really surprised at how many people had gained weight! Tons of them, men and women. I was at a good weight for my reunion. In HS I was very very thin (and not in a healthy way at all!) I was 5'10' and weighed about 117# (after a lifetime of being very tall for my age and slightly heavy). The funny thing was that I still thought I was fat back then. Crazy! And I was not happy (but what teen girl is). At the reunion I was a great weight for me and happy! I do not keep in touch with anyone but one good friend from HS. I thought I would go and feel like I did back then and be envious of people, wish I were people's friend (you know the ones I am talking about)...but it was nothing like HS. It made me ralise that I like who I am and that I LOVE my life. Oh yah, and after the night I realised that I would rather spend time with my hubby (who was teh funniest person in the room) than with any of them. I will go to my next reuniuon...but just to catch up. But no presure..because I just don't care what 99% of those people think. Just my one great friend from HS and I know what she thinks.

Ok, now I am off my hs reunion thing.

Must eat lunch.

Trish

So, back to work. I've got files coming out the wazoo!!!!

Hello all!

I haven't had time to read all the posts...will do that after. I needed to get this out of my system though....

I'm jealous of people who lose weight easily and/or quickly!! I followed program to a T this week and I only lost .2!!! I wouldn't mind once in a while, but this happens often! I think I've screwed up my body metabolism by stavation diets in the past.

Oh well, off to read the posts and I will resond to them later.

Thanks for letting me vent!

I figure things this way; I could eat what I want, not exercise and weigh well over 200lbs or I could eat what I want very sensibly (paying attention to frequency and portion size) and exercise and weigh 150lbs. I take path number 2 any day. I love being a size 6, I never want to be bigger than this again (well except when I become a baby factory). Though honestly I have never really known ANYONE who really eats ALL the food they want and never gain a pound. Most naturally thin people I know eat nowhere the amount of foods that I used to.

Belle: I am jealous, I was big with bad skin. That's life I guess. The tri-cyclen has been clearing it up some though. Don't worry about tooting your own horn about your skin, it's always good to focus on a kick@ss feature that you have. I love my back and shoulders; they rock!!!!

My breaking point? After going to England last summer, eating EVERYTHING in site and having no energy after walking around London for 3 days. Then downing 2 fairly big bags of devonshire double chocolate caramels... Those were soooooo yummy, but I felt terrible afterwards. I know for weight loss I couldn't do it myself, I needed help.... WW did that for me.

I know in my mind I am thin, but it has taken a lot of time to get used to.

Take Care!
