Hi Marsha Welcome and of course you can join us, we just love hearing from new gals.
You live in Louisiana and I live in central Canada where we are freezing our tush's off. Boy it's cold today and really windy.
I have been feeding a grey squirrel since spring his name is "Sammy" and today I looked out and he was eating the peanuts I put out for him and I guess his little toes are cold (we have snow) so he would hold one tiny little paw up against his little belly and then other to warm them up. Poor little guy, well not little he's really fat. He'll soon have join a WW Squirrel Class.
LOL
Marsha come and post here often, I think that helps us to stay on track and if we fall off we get all the support we need from the rest of the gals. This is not a easy thing losing weight or maintaining the loss. I don't have a lot of choices about whether I get old or not but I don't want to be old and fat. We have this lady who goes to the little Mall right in my neighborhood every single morning and stays until lunch time. It has a grocery store, health food store, drugstore, hairdresser, bakery and a bank. Her husband passed on some years ago and left her financially well off but she really doesn't have any family. She lives across the street from the Mall in a nice town house and just walks over every day. If the weather is really bad she orders a cab to drive her across the street.
Anyway, the first thing she does is has her hair either shampooed and set or combed out at the hairdresser's every day but Sunday.
She gets all dressed up to go to the Mall to. She usually wears a black skirt and sweater and black stockings, and her mink jacket if the weather is in the least bit cool. She wears lots and lots of jewellry including several gold anklets. I forgot to mention this gal is likely in her late 70's. She is a slim gal and when she walks she likes to kind of flip her feet so she can see all the anklets. She talks to everybody who will spend a few minutes with her. One day she told me that growning up in England she loved to eat chocolate but couldn't afford to buy it. She said she can afford to buy all the chocolate she wants now but will only allow herself 1 bar per week, because she doesn't want to gain any weight. Some people like my "Lady" make such wise food choices for themselves and others have a devil of a time, (like me). Anyway, I want to be thin like her when I am in my late 70's. (the gold anklets would be nice too
