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

[HopingToGetEngaged]

That's the easiest diet I've ever heard of! SOOOO sorry about the break up, that sucks! Try to eat something healthy...a little something. Even if you don't feel like it.

NO Disney Trip???? Oh NOOOOO! Can you take a girlfriend instead???

Nope. And to be honest, I don't want to go with anyone else. I know that sounds selfish and unrealistic, but we have been looking forward to this for months, and planning even longer. He said to take someone else, or just cancel the trip and keep his half. (which don't get me wrong- an extra $650 in my pocket would be nice) but I kinda feel like he's paying me to getaway and leave. And to top it all off, I believe he's seeing someone else. He's denied that anything is going on, he doesn't want anything right now, blah blah blah. But he "promised" me if something did happen with them (anything) that I'd "be the third to know". I just wish that I could get over the hurt and get to the pissed stage. I know that break ups happen all the time, and to everyone, but I guess I'm feeling like the last 5 1/2 years have been a waste. I feel old, and I guess am just afraid that I'll end up alone. Yes, as you can tell- I'm insecure, but it's something I'm working on- along with a multitude of other things...

Well, I might as well jump in with both feet. My name is Gina, and please excuse the log in name. I'm no longer hoping to get engaged- he broke up with me a week ago. After 5 1/2 years. And then told me to cancel our Disney trip. With 30 days left to go. I've been a longtime lurker on this thread and have been following the WW program for a week. Well... untill he broke up with me. Now, I just can't eat. While, yes, I'm losing weight- it's not healthy, and not the way I want to do it. I am so heart broken, that even thinking about food makes me want to yack.
Anyway, you guys are all so supportative of not only weight loss, but in every other aspect of life. I hope that once I get my want for food back that things will get a bit better.
Good Luck with the scales this week!

Welcome girlie and heres a for you if you need anything just ask

Long ago and many pages back someone (Kat I think) posted that they had apple slices with calorie-free caramel. Well with September coming quickly and apple season on it's way, I want to find some of this calorie-free yumminess. However, I keep looking and looking at the grocery store, but can't find anything but light or fat free. Maybe I misunderstood or "misremembered"???

If you know about this mythically-delicious-sounding-fall-apple-snacking-calorie-saver, could you share the brand and maybe where to find it?? I don't want to have to do more just to have my favorite fall treat!

TIA!

I found some at our local grocery store that carries lots of 'healthy' things- it was made by a company called Walden farms (I think) and they sell tons of yummy stuff. Most of it is sugar free and fat free. I will double check the name, but I think it was made by them. They do have a website you can place orders on too. Their salad dressings are so good-especially the SF FF Bacon Ranch!

But I've only done 10 minutes at a time, 2 or 3 times a day. It's OK! My treadmill has a drink holder and a book holder and is positioned in front of my bedroom tv. NO excuses!


Sandy!!!! You are so good to have here! I totally say, DRUG your dd with something your dr. can prescribe. Or follow through with the leaving her with whatever relative so NEXT time she'll know you mean business! That totally sucks!!!! It totally is HER choice though. Screaming on an airplane is not an option.

Hey, as long as you do something, it all adds up. Doesnt matter if it is 10 min at a time or 30 min at once. Something is better than the nothing I have been doing lately.

And Sandy- I agree. Ask your Dr. See if there is a mild something she can take, just to get her a bit more relaxed. I bet once you are in the air, she will calm down too. I think most people freak about the take off and landing. Once you are up, it really doesnt feel like much of anything. Close the window shade so she doesnt have to see out to the sky. I hope you can figure out something to get her on the plane!!

This is the stuff! Walden Farms. I only find it at Food Lion around here, for some reason.

hope your day got better yesterday! the suggestions from kat about "snacky" food were great. i also love go to go chick-fil-a and get a kids chicken nugget meal with a fruit cup when i need a fast-food fix!

glad you're feeling better! go light on the cardio - the worst thing you can do is get too hot and then you'll feel like poop again!

speaking of feeling like poop, that's me today! we went out last night with my dad/brother and had mexican. i overdid it on the margaritas. i think now that i've changed the way i eat and never eat big meals any more, but smaller meals/snacks more frequently, that my stomach has gotten smaller and therefore pretty much REJECTS the alcohol in my stomach if i drink more than 2 drinks. it wasn't drunk, but i got sick. really weird. in my 31 years i'd only gotten sick twice from drinking before i changed my eating habits. in the last six months i've gotten sick twice and i wasn't even close to being drunk both times! very strange. it's not a big deal because i'm not a big drinker.....i've just got to remember from now on to limit it to 2 drinks.

i'm sitting in court right now and hoping to be finished soon so i can go home and take a nap before i take my brother to see incubus tonight for his birthday. i need at least an hour of sleep if i'm gonna be able to remotely enjoy the show!

hope everyone has a good tuesday!

Thanks, the workout actually made me feel better.

You know, something I have noticed since cutting calories, is that alcohol affects me MUCH more than it used to. Especially if I stay low cal and drink... I think there are less calories in my body to soak it up, or something. Or maybe less body fat?

Welcome Diane! I love this thread...

Thanks especially for all of the encouragement yesterday! After my Post of Frustration, I went for a nice loooong walk (listening to the Dis podcast!) and I felt much better. I totaled 90 minutes of walking yesterday, which is a lot for me. I know I need more weight training/muscle toning, so today I'll squeeze in my 20 minute Pilates video and maybe do some arm stuff. (What does that mean? "Arm stuff?" Honestly.)

Disneyfreak, I love your trip report! I wish my DH was as, um, committed to WDW and all things Disney as I am. Fortunately he has other good qualities that make up the difference. He doesn't necessarily "understand" my obsession but at least we still go!

This weekend our neighborhood is having a block party. I'm sure it will be fun, but since our house is right next to the "host" house, we're doing all sorts of little "picky" things to get it looking **** and span. I'm off to edge the driveway and pull weeds out of...lots of places.

Keep it up everybody! We're all doing AMAZINGLY well, all things considered. Every other commercial on TV is food-oriented. While watching Fat March last night, one of the girls said "This is all really in your mind" and I realized SHE'S RIGHT! SO much of this whole endeavor is mental and emotional. So use your Peeps to your advantage!

Man you are so right!! There is soooo much bad influence out there!

Welcome!!! on your situation.

Oh don't you just love them? They make sense.

Lazy (in Utah)? Exercise 30 minutes on the treadmill!

Tired? Exercise 30 minutes on the treadmill!!!

Kids piss you off? Exercise 30 minutes on the treadmill!!!

I think I get it!

But I've only done 10 minutes at a time, 2 or 3 times a day. It's OK! My treadmill has a drink holder and a book holder and is positioned in front of my bedroom tv. NO excuses!


Sandy!!!! You are so good to have here! I totally say, DRUG your dd with something your dr. can prescribe. Or follow through with the leaving her with whatever relative so NEXT time she'll know you mean business! That totally sucks!!!! It totally is HER choice though. Screaming on an airplane is not an option.

UM, I am sooo proud of you. You know, I saw an "exercise tip" the other day on FitTV that suggested that busy moms involve their kids in their exercise routine... like have your wee one "help" you with crunches and such. I bet if you searched around you could find more info.

Hope everyone is having a great day! Mine is sorta sucking but at least when everything tastes like paste, I don't really want to eat.

Thank you, thank you! I knew my Peeps would help me out! We have a Food Lion on my way home from work, I will have to try this out.

 

[Disneyfreak92]

Fidge and feel better!! Take care of you!! (Talked to Brigette, she's doing ok - but was in the hospital for pnemonia!! Her dh hooked her computer upstairs for her, so she is in full reading mode, then rest mode, not much strength to post!! So you have my heartfelt prayers - and esp to keep the poison in the cigs so you are NEVER tempted again my friend!! and I'll have to PM you dd vmk name one day!! I keep forgetting!)

Did you say vmk? I think I need a new poll. Who on here plays VMK or has a child that does? I play, although not very often these days . But would love to say hi to a Peep or Peep kid in the game.

I'm embarrassed to say I still have yours to read. I think I read the pre-trip part. I've yet to read about your trip. I've been catching up on my tr's one at a time. That way I finish.

That Harry Potter book put me behind.

Well, get on it woman! J/K

I know what you mean about Harry Potter!

Nope. And to be honest, I don't want to go with anyone else. I know that sounds selfish and unrealistic, but we have been looking forward to this for months, and planning even longer. He said to take someone else, or just cancel the trip and keep his half. (which don't get me wrong- an extra $650 in my pocket would be nice) but I kinda feel like he's paying me to getaway and leave. And to top it all off, I believe he's seeing someone else. He's denied that anything is going on, he doesn't want anything right now, blah blah blah. But he "promised" me if something did happen with them (anything) that I'd "be the third to know". I just wish that I could get over the hurt and get to the pissed stage. I know that break ups happen all the time, and to everyone, but I guess I'm feeling like the last 5 1/2 years have been a waste. I feel old, and I guess am just afraid that I'll end up alone. Yes, as you can tell- I'm insecure, but it's something I'm working on- along with a multitude of other things...

Welcome!

I am so sorry to hear about your breakup. And I know I just 'met' you, but I have to offer some words of wisdom from personal experience. I know you feel like you've wasted that time you spent with him, but you haven't! I broke up with a boyfriend of 5 years back in 2000. (Before DH) Long story, but he had a lot of negativity he had trouble letting go of. Anyway, it was VERY hard to do. He was my best friend at the time. And I felt guilty, but I had to take care of myself. My point is that the time you spent with him has shaped you in ways, some of which you probably don't even know yet. You have learned and will learn things from this relationship that you will carry with you for the rest of your life. And it has changed you and is a part of the person you are today and will become. Please don't feel like it was time wasted. It was a journey that you had to go on for whatever reason... as unpleasant as the end of it may be.

I found some at our local grocery store that carries lots of 'healthy' things- it was made by a company called Walden farms (I think) and they sell tons of yummy stuff. Most of it is sugar free and fat free. I will double check the name, but I think it was made by them. They do have a website you can place orders on too.

Yeah, that's the one I had too!


And way to go on the exercise Wendy!!!

 

[HockeyKat]

Thank you, thank you! I knew my Peeps would help me out! We have a Food Lion on my way home from work, I will have to try this out.

My Food Lion has the whole selection of Walden Farms stuff over by the salad dressings. So far I like the calorie free chocolate and caramel, and the blueberry syrup for pancakes (goes great w/ the 240 calorie 3 frozen pancakes).

DH liked the caesar dressing okay but I find all their dressings too sweet in that splenda-sweet sort of way. I prefer my 3 cheese lite ranch. However, if we do decide to go on Alli I might need to work more fat free dressings into my day. One of DH's fav things to do is take fat free ranch and combine it with salsa for a southwestern dressing.

Lynda dd says her name changes on VMK, it pops up saying chose another name? I guess I'd better supervise better!!

Your post to hoping reminded me of that wonderful country song (OK you non country folks, didnt mean to make you spit your coke from ) Rascal Flatts >"Bless The Broken Road"

I set out on a narrow way many years ago
Hoping I would find true love along the broken road
But I got lost a time or two
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you

[Chorus:]
Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

I think about the years I spent just passing through
I'd like to have the time I lost and give it back to you
But you just smile and take my hand
You've been there you understand
It's all part of a grander plan that is coming true

[Chorus]

Now I'm just rolling home
Into my lover's arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you.

ITA about getting something to help dd overcome her anxiety, but she wont take medicines either!! I'm praying, and telling her she has the power to take meds (I bought the m&m's!) and I'm begging her to be "open to the possibility"

she's not hysterical crying...

but she wont look at Lynda's firework pictures either!! She wants me to quit pressuring her!! She says, well if I get to Disney then I cant enjoy it because I'll know I'll have to get back on the airplane to fly home!! drama. Willful mind.

Welcome!!

Hi Gina, I'm a Gina too ..
welcome to the PEEPS!!!
Sorry to hear about your breakup, that is tough stuff. feel free to post here whenever you want,I think some refer to it as a diary that talks back

LOL- Diary that talks back! That is so funny because I totally do that!

Nope. And to be honest, I don't want to go with anyone else. I know that sounds selfish and unrealistic, but we have been looking forward to this for months, and planning even longer.

Aw, I am so sorry for your loss. Lynda's advice is just what I would have said. I have not been in your position before but I def agree that everything happens for a reason and nothing is a waste in life.

Lynda dd says her name changes on VMK, it pops up saying chose another name? I guess I'd better supervise better!!

That was so cute! I love that song. I am a country girl, partially, mostly classic rock but either way I love the sweet cheesiness of Rascall Flatts.
I think your DD can probably work it out, sometimes the shock of it scares people but if the meds really will help then once she gets through the flight out she will be relaxed for the flight back, right? Here's hoping everything works out.

Ok had to post this when I saw the people.com headline on my igoogle...

"Cops: Owen Wilson Call an 'Attempted Suicide'
TUESDAY AUGUST 28, 2007 12:00 PM EDT
By Mike Fleeman

Santa Monica police confirmed that officers responded to an attempted suicide at Owen Wilson's house, according to the police log.

The department's "Call for Service Report" posted online shows that the report came in at 12:08 p.m. Sunday from Wilson's 23rd Street address and that officers cleared the case five hours later.

The call was logged as "Attempt Suicide" – the first official confirmation of the reason for the call.

No other details were provided.

Wilson, 38, was recovering at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. He issued a statement pleading for privacy to allow him to "receive care and heal in private during this difficult time."


Can you believe that???? Not Owen Wilson!!!
Seriously, that freaks me out. I actually believe the You, Me and Dupree stuff about "ness"!

She better get over it...you promised me a pool playmate for my DD!

I had another sonogram appt today- they were doing a test for some genetic disorders that is now a sonogram. When I had Amanda it was an optional test and involved a BIG needle, so with no family history we declined. The stinky part is that they can usually tell the sex at this appt with 85% accuracy...and my little peeplet wouldnt cooperate! I was so hoping to know today what I was having. Now I have to wait 6 more weeks The good news is that it really looks like a baby now, not a blob, so it seems SO much more real to me now.

 

[aries1980]

Will having her sit for me one night plus a tshirt design of her choice coax her.. Im willling to help to do whatever to make her come

 

[winkers]

I'm finally home after 2 and a half weeks! I'm exhausted. I don't think I've ever come home from a vacation feeling rested. The kids start school tomorrow and my house is a complete disaster...................calgaon, take me away!!

Anyhoo, I"m here a;nd trying to catch up to the wagon. Then I'll contemplate getting back on.

 

[eeyore45]

I may take y'all up on the bribes!! Right now I took Lexmelinda up and her dd is IM'ing my dd!! I still have 22 days to convince her. She hasnt swallowed a mini M&M yet, she says she has but she bites it in half, which I say, "whats the difference between that and chewing and swallowing?"

RE Owen Wilson - our Hollywood Reporter Dean was saying he thought Owen was "off" whenever he interviewed him, it was not so much manic depression but definately felt Owen had some difficulties - it was interesting the "statement" he released - and he reportedly took pills and slit one wrist, but not deep... hope his troubles will help others to seek out help too!!

Well I think I caught up on a lot of those trip reports!! My rear is sore!!

Also, I walked 30 min (Thanks Wendy for talking to me for part of my journey!! I'll have to talk to Jen tomorrow!!

I also went to the library and checked out LOTS of books - mainly for Heart Health - but I did see there is a book from the author of 6 week Body Makeover Michael Thurmond - 12 days to a better body (12 days something - anyway all the information you would pay $100 for is in that book!!) So yes, I did my strength training and drank my water today!!

Good food intake today!! WATER too..

Biggest thing - POSTURE!!
Suck it in, and SIT UP STRAIGHT!!

also... my mantra:

Diet and Exercise are NOT a punishment for getting fat - but they are a reward for getting Healthy!!

To our health Peeps!!

 

[DznyDreams]

Thanks for the warm welcomes, everyone!

....Friday is our post our losses, samers, gains day..no need to post your weight just the goods in BIG BRIGHT colors, so the math ladies can add up our total loss as a group. ( Don't worry if your weigh in day is today, just hold onto that info till friday ....

Thank you! I didn't know the routine, so I appreciate the info about Friday postings.

.... I am excited that we have an Alli user... Have you had any effects from it? ....

No MAJOR problems at all. Nothing worth quitting over anyway. Yes, I've had some bloating, and some gaseousness, but it's nothing I can't handle. The way it sounds to me, your diet is Alli compatible already -- you should have very little to no problems at all.

......This weekend our neighborhood is having a block party. …. I'm off to edge the driveway and pull weeds out of...lots of places.

…. While watching Fat March last night, one of the girls said "This is all really in your mind" and I realized SHE'S RIGHT! SO much of this whole endeavor is mental and emotional. So use your Peeps to your advantage!

Wow! You’re getting some great exercise with all that cleaning and weed pulling!
I hope the is a huge success!

ITA about the mental and emotional stuff. That is what gets me EVERY time. I just pray that I won’t let it get me down this time. This time is REAL!!! ( Ummm….Y’all will keep reminding me of that ….. right?)

Well, I might as well jump in with both feet. My name is Gina, and please excuse the log in name. I'm no longer hoping to get engaged- he broke up with me a week ago. After 5 1/2 years. And then told me to cancel our Disney trip. …….

Gina -- I am so sorry!

It looks like we both found a great group of Peeps today who will listen when we need a shoulder to cry or encourage us with some good advice. BTW, I look forward to getting to know you too.

.... It has been 8 months, and I haven't fallen off the wagon yet. I'm even exercising on a daily basis, which is a huge accomplishment. So far, so good. ....

Way to go!!! EIGHT MONTHS back on WW -- now that is inspiring to me! I CAN do this!

 

[mousehouselover]

WOW, lots of activity today!

to the newest peeps and :hugs: for those who need them.

I had another good day, impressed the right people. I am feeling every minute of the 8 hrs I spent on my feet today. I am so tired and parts of me hurt. I have to stoop and squat to get to some of the products. I was even sitting on the floor stocking for a bit. (Concrete-1 backside-0) I have a full workout; lift, squat, stretch, walk. I was happy to get to work this am and I found the hours were flying by, no clock watching!

I need sleep, I'll TTYL!

 

[pigget74]

Welcome Gina!!!!


UPDATE: Ryan is now back at his hotel that is at the hospital. His liver levels look good so they let him leave the hospital. He is still on meds for the virus, but can take those at the hotel. THey will do 2 more labs this week for level counts. IF they remain good then they will wait and do another biopsy on Wed. of next week. So things are loooking better, but we still have a long way to go.

 

[Eventer98]

Anyone made any of the Ohanas menu items? I am recreating most of their dinner tomorrow for DH. I consider myself a good cook, and know I can pull it off, but just curious as to how easy the recipes are. I am making the potatoes, veggies, shrimp, pineapple bread from the Luau, wings and bread pudding. I also already made the salad dressing.

Sounds like she keeps picking names that they won't allow, or that are already taken. VMK is pretty strict about what they allow, so it may not be anything bad. They might just interpret it as giving away personal information - even if it's not. I started very close to the beginning. If I hadn't, I don't think I would have been allowed the name PrincessLynda because of the proper name in it.

I love that song, Sandy! That's exactly what I was talking about!

Just make one of my fireworks pics your desktop when she's not around, and then when she goes to use the computer, there it'll be!

Ok had to post this when I saw the people.com headline on my igoogle...

"Cops: Owen Wilson Call an 'Attempted Suicide'

Santa Monica police confirmed that officers responded to an attempted suicide at Owen Wilson's house, according to the police log.

The department's "Call for Service Report" posted online shows that the report came in at 12:08 p.m. Sunday from Wilson's 23rd Street address and that officers cleared the case five hours later.

The call was logged as "Attempt Suicide" – the first official confirmation of the reason for the call.

No other details were provided.

Wilson, 38, was recovering at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. He issued a statement pleading for privacy to allow him to "receive care and heal in private during this difficult time."


Can you believe that???? Not Owen Wilson!!!
Seriously, that freaks me out. I actually believe the You, Me and Dupree stuff about "ness"!

DH told me about that! I was surprised!

UPDATE: Ryan is now back at his hotel that is at the hospital. His liver levels look good so they let him leave the hospital. He is still on meds for the virus, but can take those at the hotel. THey will do 2 more labs this week for level counts. IF they remain good then they will wait and do another biopsy on Wed. of next week. So things are loooking better, but we still have a long way to go.

So glad to hear it! I'll keep thinking about and praying for him.

So glad to hear that Ryan is doing better, Pigget! What a strong guy. When he's better and your family has some peace I hope you get to take a BIG, FAT WDW vacation! You SO deserve it!

To all of my "virtual" friends who I wished lived in my neighborhood instead: Thanks for the encouragement and laughs! This really IS like a diary that talks back...and talks A LOT! (Not complaining, I'm a talker too!).

This is stupid, but I decided to start South Beach tomorrow (that part isn't stupid, I hope) and so I thought that one last, lovely Fountain Pepsi would be a special treat. I have faith that after about a week of Phase 1 that I won't care a thing about Pepsi! At any rate, it won't kill me. (Maybe. When I was a teenager I went to Girls' Camp for a week with other young women my age, and every time I went I would always get weird cravings for grape soda and stuff. Naturally, it wasn't available, so as the years passed I learned I had to pack my own high-fructose-corn-syrup treats.) I have a serious history of diabetes in my family, on both sides, and don't want to end up like my uncle who died about 6 months ago from a heart attack. He was a diabetic.

So, my apologies for failing, but remember, "To err is human, to forgive, divine" and congratulate yourselves on your divinity!

BIG GIRLS, YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!
