Hey there chickadees!!
Sorry I missed you the last day or so, but this weekend was nuts... AND a complete and total wash.
With dh being on seconds, the only real time we get to spend together is on Saturday evenings (I work on Saturday till 3pm) and Sundays. Well, he had to work this last Saturday on seconds.
He went into work right after I got home and worked till a little after 2am and was on the way home and got called back in. (not only was he working, but was also on call) So he had to go back to the plant to sign papers to ok the line to run and didn't get in till after 4am.
Sunday, he had to work, but was only supposed to go in for a couple of hours. He went in around 4pm and left around 7:15. He had barely walked in the door (maybe been home 30 minutes) and there was a deviation on the line and he had to go back in to release new product. He got back home a little after 10pm and got called at 11:03 for an audit. I was furious!
The whole frickin weekend got taken away and now I'll have to wait till next Saturday to spend any time with him,
if he doesn't have to work again. I know it makes me sound like a great big
, but I really miss him not seeing him all week and then when the weekend is nuts like that, it drives us crazy.
I'd also like to mention (while I'm griping) that I hate the sugar medication that I'm on. Just one day, I'd like to have a regular bowel movement. Yeah, yeah... I know, TMI.
I know that it says I might have diarrhea for the first couple of days while my body is adjusting to the medication, but for 5 months!! Come on... give me a break! Please.
Lilion: Trey is 12 years old. He has always had a really big appetite and even though it's affected him somewhat, he's always played sports and that seemed to combat some of it. Now, he's decided to not play this year and I'm worried the affect it might have on him. The thing that has made me really happy though is that he decided this on his own. It's one thing to have "Mom" tell you that you need to lose weight to be healthy, but quite another to decide it on your own. I am very proud of him.
Leanne: I just had to comment on this:

I have made a decision to change my focus.
Instead of focussing on losing weight, which is a losing battle for me at the moment, I'm focussing on getting fitter and healthier even if I stay this weight.
Good for you!!! Sometimes it's just a matter of continuing to exercise and take better care of ourselves that does the trick and by doing that, everything else falls into place.
Terri: I've been contemplating on the question you asked:
Quote:
Do thin girls feel like they've cheated? Doubt it so why do we?
I think I've got an answer on that.
I was at a restaurant one day and sitting right at the next table was a girl that couldn't have weighed more than 130 lbs. She ate one of the dishes that I avoided like the plague (rich, creamy sauces and loads of pasta) and even finished it off with a piece of cheesecake. I remember staring at my salad and baked fish, thinking, "How can someone so tiny eat like that?" Then it dawned on me. What she's eating, she doesn't eat every day. If she did, she'd have a weight problem too.
I think the difference between overweight people and people that don't have a weight issue is that they generally make really good choices and only have that occasional splurge. Overweight people have a tendency to splurge all the time, know what I mean?
So, I guess they never really feel like they're "cheating" because there's no evidence on their body to prove it.
I crack myself up sometimes.
DoxieMom: I'm glad you're getting over your head cold.. those things can be miserable!! Also, wonderful news on the 30 lbs. gone!!! I know it's hard, especially when you're trying to lose weight, but take it easy on the knee if you can, that way it will have time to heal and you'll be off and running in no time!
Also, I think it's awesome your son is walking with you.... it's a really great thing.
Ruth: My goodness hon... it sounds like you're having a really horrible time with the whole painting thing. I hope it gets done soon so life can go back to normal for you... whatever that is, right?
Just remember though, as stressed out as you get, you are the only one that can control what goes in your mouth. Don't let this stuff get to you, ok?
Barbg: Awww, I'm so sorry you had such a bad day. {{{Hugs}}} We all have them from time to time, I guess. I hope things get better for you and good job on not letting it turn you to food when you got home!
Thin: Isn't that just like a man for you? If they try to lose weight, it just seems to fall off. My dh, even if he's not trying can lose 4 or 5 lbs. while blinking an eye and I'll work my tail off and see a lovely .6 loss.
Oh well, it's better than a gain, I guess!
Well, my chickapeas... I'm off here for now. It is so nice being back here with you all. I love the feel of the thread and if you'll have me, I plan on hanging out for quite some time.
Everyone have an awesome night!!!
