DISappearing Peeps...A fastpass to THIN! Part 2

[Disneyfreak92]

I am still working on reading over the weekends posts, but I had to pause and take note of a couple...



I must tell you I woke up my DD laughing so hard at this...and she was in the other end of the house
Everyone laughs at me because I adjust mine before picture...it's a must!



Well, what are friends for...
And I still say the best bra for "getting them back where they belong" is the Victoria's Secret Very Sexy Pushup Bra...makes ya feel 18 again!

That is a great bra! I mostly have the Body by Victoria shaping full coverage now, but I used to wear the Very Sexy Push-up all the time!

Can someone post the zero pt soup recipe again? I wish there was a way to catalog these recipes. Could we make a list of recipes and the page they can be found on and edit it into Wendy's first page?

Excellent idea! We could put links to the recipes in post #1. I like it!

You are an inspiration, Lynda! And by the way....
WOO HOOTY!!!


EVERONE....I will just randomly keep adding you all to my network since no one can reach me in Private-land. If you get a message from me...please add me. I'm wearing Jean Nate so I smell better now.

Thank you so much! I just keep thinking to myself when I want something I shouldn't have, "What's it worth to ya?" It's not worth me getting back to where I was 5 years ago! I miss being that size and the way it made me feel. I had more energy, I just felt great! I LOVE pictures, and I want to be excited about getting my picture taken again. I miss it, and I on my way back to that size!

Oh, I sent you a friend request. Pretty PLEASE be my friend???

One down how many more to convert to using correct English?

I also say I am waiting in queues at WDW, and I say whilst! Not all the time, but if I am feeling sassy maybe. I get some funny looks.

I still need to catch up. But I'm in a smidge of a panic. I got on the scale as I occasionally do, and it said +3 By now I know not to panic, because that's what I'd tell you guys if it happened to one of you. But still! I really need to be more mindfull of everything I do!!! I'm just being lazy not writing everything down and drinking more soda and not exercising etc ETC. This is a familiar pattern for me. I hope it's just water retention because my chest is tender and I am bloated.

My weight DOES fluxuate several pounds, so I'm not going to worry. I just need to be wayyyy more diligent! It's NOT ever easy, In fact it's aLOT easier to just eat however I want and sit on my bum.

I can DO this!!!

You CAN do this!!!

I try to avoid the scale in between weigh ins for just this reason. Don't worry! Pay attention to what you are doing, and things will even themselves out.

I need extra peeps power today! I'm off to the hospital to spend some time with my grandma who is not expected to live more than a couple of days. She was taken in for emergency surgery last night where they discovered a football size tumor in her intestines. They had no idea she had cancer and they think it has spread alot. She's been ill for a couple of years now and has alot of problems, so I thought I was ready for her to go, but now that it's here, I'm a mess. She raised me for 7 years after my mom died when I was a baby and before my dad remarried when I was 8, so she's more like a mom to me. I need will power to not eat to comfort myself, my siblings are most likely coming up fromm Utah this weekend, so I guess I can spend my time cleaning my house instead of eating.................ok, now I'm rambling. It's easier to sit here at the computer than go up to the hospital and face the truth. Oh, I really want a hot fudge sundae!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OH NOOOO! I'm so sorry!!!!! How awful! Did they remove the tumor?

Oh, gosh, I hope you're ok!!!! Go give her lots of love! We're here for you AND we'll forgive you if you need a hot fudge sundae! Maybe do a skinny or lite-ish version??? That's what I'd want everyone to tell me, anyway


We love you!!!!!

Winkers, I'm so sorry. Take it from me, now is not a time to stress over food intake - no one will think less of you for some comfort munching at a time like this, so don't think less of yourself. Plus, you have company in me: I've downed 3 cannolis and 5 pastries in the last 36 hours.

Hang in there; my thoughts are with you.

Oh, you will be in my thoughts and prayers! I lost my grandma (who my mom and I lived with for a number of years, on and off, following my parents' divorce when I was 10) not quite 2 years ago. She had many health problems, so we were somewhat "ready" for it too, but you are never REALLY ready for it. It's always hard. Just remember, food is not the solution, but something extra won't be the end of the world, and your peeps are here for you. I'll be thinking of you and your family.

[DisneyJo]

DisneyJo: WooHoo!!!! More dissers! Our plans aren't 100% yet, but here is something very sad:

My children's school is converting to year round next year. We were allowed to make our track preferences, and I based mine on the possibility of free dining and Disney's value seasons. Is that sad? My first choice has them out last two weeks in Aug and first week in Sept. Second choice they will be out the last three weeks in Sept. We will know by mid March....just in time in case free dining is offered!

Hope it all works out and you still make Fockfest 2007!

Sending lots of and prayers

Disney Jo, I was going to be a smart aleck and googled English hello - and found a funny dictionary of words common in Englang that mean different things here... I spent way too much time and only remember the naughty words!! I do read 2 -3 Regency England Romance novels a week, so I hit a few phrases, it still tickles my fancy tho - for example...

Monday I worked at a school, went to the teachers privvy and sat my bum down, only to have it feel heated!! yep, somehow the pipes were not working correctly and the hot water was going down the toilet, but when I was telling the story to dh, dd came in and said "Mom, who says "bum"' (I too have been listening to Disney Jo!! and I wear a Mary Poppins disney pin on my name tag, the kids love it, and after all I too am "practically perfect"...

Are you speaking English? Didn't understand half of it! (although I do say bum loads and often have a numb bum don't I Melinda! )

Didn't get my normal afternoon walk today, I helped with sewing in Ellie's class, which was great fun threading needles for 30 8/9 year olds. Although DH and I walked around the shops this morning does that count? We did park a bit out of town to get some exercise or was it so we didn't have to pay to park? I've been suffering with spots for the last couple of years, never had them as a teenager and they hit when I turned 30. So I thought I'd try something herbal, well the lady told me I had to up my water intake and to avoid sugar, you lot could have told me that from the comfort of my own home. She also gave me some tinicture pansy thing so I'll try it and see. Spots and wrinkles aren't a good combination.

I can DO this!!!

I was up 3lbs this morning too. I'm in serious need of some colon blow!

Even though i have lost 10 lbs, I still look very pregnant. I AM NOT. My abdomen is hard as a rock. I don't expect to see much with just 10 down, but it is discouraging.

 

[sorul82?]

Winkers,

I'm thinking about you!

I was very, very close to my great-grandmother.. My love and prayers go out to you.

 

[UtahMama]

Disney Jo and Eeyore: I say "Bum" too. In Utah, butt is a bad word. We're not allowed to cuss here. Butt, I still do sometimes (see? I feel naughty writing butt!).

We creatively make up new cuss words, especially on Sunday .
"Fetch" is the biggie, but doesn't have the same impact as the real "F-Bomb" for some reason!



I gotta go catch up on All My Children! Dixie DIED yesterday!!!!! I was crying! I stole her song to her son, "You are my sunshine, my only sunshine...." of course her son was born after my DS17 and is now about 30 on the show!

 

[aldisneygrl]

QUESTION....
I am not brand loyal with my frozen meals. I buy whatever is on sale. This week it's Weight Watchers Smart Ones. So far I've had...
Chicken Enchilda Suiza
Creamy Parmesan Chicken
Chicken Marsala
If you've had some Smart Ones you like...please let me know!!! Thanks!!!

I usually buy Smart Ones, that way I don't have to figure out points for dinner. I usually have them with a big salad with Light Ranch dressing.

I love the Shrimp Marinara! (only 3 pts!)
I also like the Slow Roasted Turkey Breast. The turkey is good, but the potatoes are just ok. I take the turkey gravy and mix it with the potatoes and that makes it better.

I love the SO desserts. I liked the Key Lime Cheesecake until last nights "EEEWWW that looks like snot!"comment from DD.

I still need to catch up. But I'm in a smidge of a panic. I got on the scale as I occasionally do, and it said +3 By now I know not to panic, because that's what I'd tell you guys if it happened to one of you. But still!

I can DO this!!!

Do not panic! I did yesterday after my GoTart episode. I came right here to get my support, and y'all were there for me. You did the right thing by coming here! We are here for you. I gained one of my pounds back too, so we can do this together. We need to make sure we are drinking our water, and eating healthy foods (preferably high fiber ones! )

Now that hot fudge sundae isn't going to make you feel better. It will make you feel worse because you will feel guilty after you eat it. Go spend your precious last moments with your dear grandma. If you still feel the need for the sundae, go get a skinny ice cream treat. Here is a big hug for you! I'll keep you and your grandma in my prayers.


Ok, I have had a better day:

All bran cereal bar and WW smoothie for b'fast (3 pts)

Smart Ones Pizza Smartwich and Lemon Meringue Pie Yoplait for lunch (9 pts)

It is hockey night again, so I am going for the veggie plate at the cafeteria again. It should be a low point dinner.

I have already drunk 32 oz of water.

[Disneyfreak92]

OK ladies, I have a story to tell you...

There is a princess who works in an office that is located in a mall that is practically desserted - just a few stores left. Most of the stores involve food, so the princess stays in her office so that she is not tempted by said tasty treats. One of the stores has three sections - a kids' toys section, an art supply/home decor section, and a fancy foods section. The fancy foods section includes some healthy items, but also has LARGE, DELICIOUS, cookies! The princess hasn't set foot in that store for months! The princess's boss, however, often gets lunch from this store and decided one day (a day very much like today ) to get cookies for all of her staff. The EVIL boss (not really evil at all, but maybe possessed for a moment) selected sugar cookies with dried cherries in them and placed one with a napkin on each of her employee's desks, including the princess's. Now, the princess didn't know what to do. She was watching what she ate, so she wasn't sure if she should eat the cookie, but it was a gift from her boss...neatly placed on her desk upon a paper napkin. And she had tried the same cookie before, months ago (also thanks to her boss), and it was good. The princess turned to the internet and looked up calorie counts for similar cookies, and decided to eat the cookie and make up for it at dinner time!

I can DO this!!!

Have you tried the warm water + lemon juice trick? I'm tellin y'all it works!! I'm also one that is tied to the scale, every mornin - and I'm pleased this week, I'm down 2#!!

I drink 2 cups per day. Splenda and creamer. Creamer counts 1 point, but I never count it b/c of flex points. When I have a lot of points left over for a day or a lot of flex points I will go to coffee shop and get a latte.

Strictly a tea drinker, and then only the fresh brewed loose leaf tea!! I love to brew a pot of tea and drink it out of my special bone china cup... it makes me feel special!! I should drink more ice tea, but I think I'll stick to water - and do try going off, and see how it affects your weight loss...

I'm so sorry to hear this - yes, you have my thoughts and prayers!! and lots of Peep Feel lifted up by all the prayers from around this land - all supporting you in your hour of need. and then look at that ice cream, and know you are worth ever so much more than that, as is your special grandma... know you are never alone, and one bowl of ice cream can never replace the love you have in your heart - you are worthy!! GO FOR IT!! BE STRONG!!!

I used to live on All my kids, in high school our 4th year Spanish teacher would let us watch All my Kids on Fridays if someone would do the synopsis in Spanish, we took turns, it was great fun - but I got wigged out I forgot what sent me over the edge - I was into Guiding Light, and As the World Turns, ATWT was my grandma and great grandma's favorite show, so I felt like I was carrying on the tradition!! ah, memories, rest well Dixie, I'm sure you'll reappear again (HOW MANY times has the Chick died anyway??? )

DD wigged out last night - total meltdown, because dh decided to move his shaving gear into the kids bathroom, and DD decided since the 2 boys moved out - she would have a bathroom to herself... she flipped how dare dh take TWO bathrooms!! We're talking this went on for well over 3 hours, and can you believe dh and i wouldnt budge? Yep, consequences, evil!! Poor kid!! Then she decided to spend her money on that WEBKINZ @#@# craze... so today is a half day, and I drive her to the mall, we went to 4 stores before she found the baby chihauauaha for $8 - then I have to go to the grocery store to pick up her breakfast items, she stays in the car... I come back (the ooh: muffins kicked in! so I was gone maybe all of 7 m inutes...) she was crying?????? She wants me to take her back to hte mall to return it, we were right!! HUH??? well I have to encourage her to look forward, no buyers remorse (I wasnot driving back to the mall to find out they have a no return policy, which I'm sure they do!! )

Hormones.... at TEN!! I will never survive her teenage years!!
