So, um, somebody said to pay more attention to the way my clothes were fitting rather than be a slave to the number on the (curseword here) scale, right? Well, ah- My favorite bra is too big today... Hm.

F&L- appealing! Har har har! You crack me up! A note about bananas, though- if you eat too many, you will be very unhappily constipated, and there is nothing appealing about that!!!

Maggie- your daughter sounds like a jewel. I can only imagine how hard it is to watch her go off into the world on her own, but what a wonderful job you’ve done with her that she is heading off to participate in such a great cause! Parting is difficult, but reunions are sweet- and she’ll be back before you know it! Keep heart!

Amanda- well, here’s what I think about TOM- don’t worry about the WI this week- just think how much you’ll have lost by NEXT WI! And also, I’m still quite sure you’re ahead of me in the race to the comps… Let me believe it! It makes me work harder! (Yah, right...)

Misty- Uh, don’t ask about the thesis. Ahem. Just kidding- I have one chapter down and one outlined- I should have the second one written by now but I’ve slacked off all summer! Stay tuned for hair pulling as we get closer to December!!

Lizzy, I have a weakness for pizza as well. I had pizza tonight from Pizza Hut (thin veggie lover) and was able to work it in at 4pts per slice. Try that sometime when the craving hits- then you can count a vegetable serving too! And way to go on the good choices at the grocery! Yum, rolos… but fruit, yay!!

IASteph- great job on keeping the dew away from you! (Note the little poem- ok, I am a lit major, not a creative writer…) You were able to CHOOSE between thesis and comps?! Jealous, jealous me… Quick! Someone tell me to stop whining about it and get the work done!

Ok, I've had my fun with the emoticons now and this may be my longest post yet. But one more thing- a tip for today... A great way to lose weight is to eat while you are naked and standing in front of a mirror. Restaurants will almost always throw you out before you can eat too much.

OK, I don't know whether I should slap my sweetie for this, or just love him even more (OK, i already know it's the second one). I stopped by the garage where he works today and there was a photo of a gorgeous woman in a black stringy bikini on his tool box. No problem. Damn, she was amazing. But I was joking around and walked up to him and said, "Well, THIS is interesting." He took the picture and pulled me real close and whispered in my ear: "This is the bathing suit I'm going to buy you when you get to goal." In his sexiest growl, of course. He is so funny. A real little

Aww, Maggie! That is so cute!

Skinny-dipping?

After I found out there was a Wendy's on my route, I decided I just had to have a meal that I once frequented. A triple burger with cheese. I figured out all the points and wanted to go yesterday but left too late. So today I was ready to leave early so I could fit it in and was just salivating thinking about it. I knew it would take a lot of points (uh. . .24.7 points!), but did not care. Then when I got there, it turned out to be almost $9 for the stupid burger so I decided to go cheap and got a little burger from their value meal and fries. Why did I have to get fries? The whole time I was eating them I thought yuck what a waste, but yet I kept eating them. So my runner-up meal ended up being 22.2 points. What a waste. Was not filling, was not good, was not what I went for. So, today I had coffee with sweetener, a burger, and fries and went over my points. Am mad at myself for getting something stupid. And I am hungry. heh Guess I will just drink water and go to sleep before I think about it too much. Can not believe the burger I used to get on a probably 3-4 times a week basis is almost 25 points, though. . .and of course I got it with fries and sometimes chicken nuggets too sheesh. On the way home (about thirty seconds in) my mp3 player's battery died because I forgot to recharge it until about an hour before I had to leave. Made the walk home pretty boring and I was already not in the mood to walk. I took a different route to avoid the temptation of using the transit and to keep myself awake. Boring boring *yawn* boring. Am just grouchy today. heh Came home and put my nightgown on right away and then my husband asked me to go get him McDonald's. Umm, puh-sha! I may have went over my points today by .4 (although I did not eat half my bun at Wendy's so I might be just about even. . .oh yeah and AP points) but I really really want and need a weight loss tomorrow to get me back into a good attitude. Ooh and I need to forget about fast food entirely. And find an apartment. And boxes.

*giggles* Maggie...that's both hilarious and sweet at the same time! Ah...to have a supportive man...to have a man at all. I'm glad to hear he's being more supportive, though!

aww that was cute Maggie

The whole time I was eating them I thought yuck what a waste, but yet I kept eating them.

I've had that feeling, and I think its a good one in a way. At least I'm acknowledging that eating that way is bad for me because before, I would not have given it a second thought... the next step I guess is to not eat it.

Thanks for the ideas about pizza I have not tried the LC pizza's yet, but I did buy a WW one last night too Its not too bad, I've had those before, so I'll have that next week when I get that pizza craving again If we order out pizza ever, I'll have to look into the thin crust at Pizza hut. But I'm not a big veggie lover, so I'd probably get just plain cheese

The one thing I love about WW is that each day a new set of points. Make a mistake and get on with the next day. We can doey.
