Hi everyone!
You all sound chipper. I have a couple of days off and I'm soooo happy. Things at work are nuts and I'm not having fun with the embroiled mess that's going on. Glad I didn't take that temporary job.
Ruth, of course water is more important than potatoes.....unless you live in the potato State. We're in the process of harvest right now. There's farms all around where I live and it is such a good earthy smell....and there's nothing like a fresh tater with sour cream and butter..................oh sorry, I lost control there for just a sec.
So speaking of water, is Ramonoooo getting you a shower today?
Taramoon, you sound soooo normal! Only, I do that everyday. If I blow it during the day I continue to binge until the end of the day because I'm going to start fresh the next day....this often goes on for days. Your stats are like mine. I'm also that "tall" and my starting weight was 190, well, at least when I finally stepped on a scale, it could have been higher, I just didn't do the scale thing.....very difficult thing for me to do. Anyway, I heard somewhere that for every 7-8 pounds lost is a dress size. I was also in a tight 16, but usually just wore the extra large stretchy things that didn't have a shape. I was able to start wearing a size 8 at about a 154#. You can do this, just keep hanging out here. These chicks will encourage you, hug you and yell at you if necessary to help you get there!
soon2be, get feeling better. Maybe while you're at work you should borrow someones phone or pen or something and have a big wet slobbery sneeze. They'll probably beg you to leave!
Schatzi, schatzi, schatzi.....what to do with you???
You are a scream. So if your windows and carpets and house are clean come on down! You can pop on over to Ideehooo on your way to Raleigh can't you?
pearshape, congrats on the car thing
Of course you can do this without a man! Donating your old one is so nice of you or the starving college student would be good too. Sorry about the party in your yard, yuck, I would hate that too. Don't worry about the plateau thing, just keep at it and it will come off.
djett, I bet the cookies tasted good
and DON'T beat yourself up about it. Food is such an emotional thing. Sounds like you have a plan and know what you are going to do. Give yourself a hug.
Hollyhock, I would love to see your kids mutton bustin', that is such a riot. Wish them luck for me. Glad your head is around the SB diet book. Now make your plan. I sold Avon once, but the smells gave me migraines so I gave it up. Sounds like the money is better than it was 25 years ago. Good luck with it.
kyemom, 71 isn't nipply.....65 is! I'm not ready for the cold.
Tammy, rent a good movie or get a good book. Ahh, that would be so cool. Maybe Ruth would let you come over and you could soak in her hot tub. Definitely do something nice for yourself.
Well, I'm off for a run...check. Then clean the house....check. Then do laundry and ironing....check.........Schatzi get out of my head!
. Each day gets a bit better so I am hoping that I have not given myself an ulcer. No dairy for me though for a few days to let my tummy rest some more.
