Well the little guy was very excited, both days. Wouldn't eat breakfast Christmas morning. Didn't want anything but a recess peanut butter cup. But I didn't want him eating the candy for breakfast.(didn't want to start a bad habit, to possibly aide in him being overweight when he gets big). He had some water when we got to my aunts mom's house. A glass of it. At about 3-4 we sat down at my aunts mom's house for dinner. He still hadn't eaten anything. Had a couple bits of steak, and said his tummy hurt. Good old mom, because you haven't eaten. I tried to get him to eat something and he wouldn't. He just wanted some MILK. Gave him some, and that's all it took. Threw up in my lap, all over him, the chair, and the floor. The funny thing is that everyone froze and couldn't move, but we couldn't get out of the way to get a bucket or anything. The house is small and we had people in the dinning room, and there was 9 of us in the kitchen. To fill our plates, my cousins that was closest to the dinning room would ask us what we wanted. Get it and pass it around, and put it back in the dinning room. Then they sat down when everyone had what they wanted. It's funny now, somewhat. The looks on all their faces. Well after he did that, he laid down on the bed at their house. We stayed. He would get sick, and lay back down. We got some dry toast in him, but he threw that up on the way home. About 4 he started in on it again this morning. He is resting now. He snuck some water on me, and just got sick again. I wonder how long this one is going to last. I also wanted to do some shopping today. Get some decorations on sale. Maybe when hubby gets home, i can go. I ate too much, and i haven't exercised. Too many carbs these past couple of days, and yes some cookies, and candy. Hardly any of mine, but the ones others made. I will get back focused. I don't feel that i went overboard. Just not as much control as I wanted. But a lot more control than i have had in the past. So I guess that is some improvement. My house is a reck, and stuff needs to be done. I want to order some books on line today. The ones that oprah suggested for Christmas presents. "Power of Now", "Everyday Grace", and the other book i want is "Devotions for Dieters". The day was special. Hubby did make a comment about Jesus's birthday ended up not so great for the little guy, cuz being sick. I was surprised he mentioned it being Jesus's birthday. This is a good thing. He is helping me in reinforcing about Jesus. Well other than that not much happen.
Sherri- hope all is well with you.
Christian, penny, coco, ciecie, nita, marlene, eleni, and janice. HOpe everyone is doing great. Have a great day. I will.

Hi Everyone
I am sorry that I havent been on here more. But I have let everything and everyone else come first. And then I am having a hard time getting in were the computer is. All the christmas boxes for the decorations are in there. But I sure have missed you ladies. I see now that I really do need my friends here. I have been eating out of control. Had a gain on Monday eve. Gained 1 3/4 lbs. We will weigh in again this coming Monday because of New Years Eve.

Was Santa good to everyone. He was to me. Got some clothes. Am going to take the pants back. They are too long, to loose in the legs a little loose in the waist. But the butt are too tight. But the next size will definitely be too little. So may try and find a different brand and try that. Got one top am going to take back. It is too big. But the other one fits. Then I got a Chicken Soup for the cat and dog lover's soul. I think there is going to be several boxes of puffs used when I read that book. Son got me a real soft Teddy Bear. I like Teddy bears. But he is sooooooooo cuddly. And son got me a Aaron Tippin tape. I like him also.
We went to my Mom and Dads for Christmas dinner. It was real nice. Dad fixed a duck. Has anyone ever had it. I thought it was good. I had never had it before. There was a good bit of grease in the bottom of the pan. But they cooked it on a rack. So it wasnt in it. Then before we ate it. Dad skinned it. If I hadnt known it was duck. I dont think I would have been able to tell. To us it kinda tasted like a cross between chicken and turkey.

Well I better get off here. I could just keep typing away. Have so many things to say or ask. But wont bore you with all of it. Will have to go through and read all the threads. But I will say again I missed you ladies. You are a bunch of wonderful ladies and friends.

Wendy hope Brandon is feeling better.
Sherry hope you are feeling better.

Hi Everyone,

Well, I'm home again. I loved being with my son and grandchildren. Wish that I live closer to them and could see them more often. We flew back on Christmas day......stand-by! Everyone thought there wouldn't be many people flying on Christmas Day and it would be easy getting on a flight. Well.......flying stand-by on Christmas day is for the birds, especially to Orlando. Sooo many people decided to come to Disney World for a Christmas holiday. But we finally got home this morning.
Tomorrow is weigh-in for me. They decided while I was gone, just to have a weigh-in tomorrow, because so many people would be out.
I've been looking at the December weigh-ins and I think that we will all do better in January. After the holidays is a good time to start over. We are planning an open house in January and our theme will be hawaiian. Do any of you have some good ideas for this theme?
Wendy, I hope that Brandon is feeling better by now.
Coco, you will take that gain off next month. We will all do better next month.
Summer, it was cold in Vegas.....It was cold in Dallas.......And its cold here, but not nearly as cold as you have. If I came to Colorado in the winter, I would have to buy a whole new wardrobe. I don't even know what people that live in cold country are wearing until I get out and see that there are so many other beautiful clothes, sweaters and coats. It sure is a lot different than here. My clothes are too light weight for anyplace but here.

Hi to everyone that I have missed. Hope you all had a Merry Christmas and are ready to get back with a sensible eating plan.

Til later
Nita
