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

[dwheatl]

I should be in the shower or bed or something, but I haven't been able to get on for days. Yesterday I had a little meltdown in the car w/DH on the way to visit mom (still in the convalescent hospital). Then this morning I was trying to find a dress for tonight's back to school night (because you know everyone's judging the teacher, right?) I threw out several dresses and outfits, not just chose not to wear them, but said to myself, "Why did I ever think I looked good in this?" I just settled for one dress because I had to leave for work, but I felt ugly and bloated. Can you guess who came to visit? I haven't really seen her since May, although she sometimes sneaks in for a couple of hours, but here came AF for a real honest-to-goodness visit. I feel better about feeling depressed now that I know I have a good reason. And I forgive myself for the second serving of Dreyer's Grand Light (or whatever they call it now) French Silk. I did have half of a lovely salad for dinner (that I ate in about 10 minutes between getting my classroom ready and putting on my lard dress). Who knows what the scale will show in the morning? I'm off to drink some water, then shower and bed. Have a super, slim Friday all.

What's my date? is it 14 days till we leave? I dont get it either... she is just extremely afraid she'll throw up on the plane like she did last year coming home. I cannot reason with her - she enjoys screaming at me, I dont understand. She has made up her mind period. She put up signs all over the house declaring NO PLANE - ever... and listed some other things, I just ripped them down.

I told her we would drive to Ohare to get her "used to the idea" we're going. Period. I'm such a mean mom I'm taking her out of school for ten days to go to Disney. Stop being ridiculous. She freaked, screamed - crying hysterical. I stopped talking to her and went to bed.. she just sat on her bed crying hysterical... She finally crept into my room clutching her pillow and stuffed animal... it was so pathetic... "fine, get in bed"... she fell asleep. 9pm - earliest that's happened ever!! and she stayed asleep... till now... dh just came home, I heard him, and I thought he was going to crawl in to ds bed... (he usually wakes her up and makes her go to her own bed, she's too heavy to carry!!) He didnt, started to crawl into bed, and yelped!!! Well it was 4:30 am.

My cousin in Peoria, let go, and went to Heavan last night. I havent talked to her sisters yet... praying for peace. Its been a hard road for them... they dont think they'll have a funeral, she was really bad off... just so sad.

BB - I am so disallusioned. This whole thing has been scripted. I know they film Survivor, etc ahead of time, and there are spoilers... but from the moment Jen declared she was winning HOH early on (and she did) the internet has been abuzzin... then Eric wasnt evicted... and it was things the hg said that the internet overheard that made you go hmmmm ...

Ever since this was posted on a forum I read QUOTE:FCC response to Big Briother being rigged ... Thu Aug 23, 2007 3:33 am Quote:
The OFFICIAL RESPONSE from the FCC is below. They liken Big Brother to professional wrestling and state that the contest is not real and that the outcome is predetermined. If you don't believe me, file your own concern with the FCC. I'm confident you'll receive an identical message.

The response I received:
Thanks for contacting the FCC via the online inquiry form, with your
inquiry (designated IC Number: 07-x1327xxxx), regarding the 'reality'
show 'Big Brother.' We will close your inquiry IC Number:
07-x1327xxxx with this response:

A "game show" in which selected contestants (vs. members of the
public) participate is governed by Section 509 of Title 47 of the
United States Code (USC), and regulated by the Department of Justice.
However 'Big Brother' does not appear to meet the definition of a
"game show." Rather, it is a 'for entertainment only' program,
somewhat similar to professional wrestling in that it is a
pseudo-contest in which the outcome is fully, or in some measure, predetermined."


Ok, then, I guess Amber was right about the winner being predetermined. She just had the 'decider' wrong! LOL!

Well, this answers a lot of questions for me, and now that I know it's not 'just a game' I'm not sure how I feel about it. At least it stops any speculation about the producers manipulating the results - They definitely are, and I suppose it's ok since this is not officially a 'game show'.

At least Daniele will have money for college now.

and that was after overhearing the predetermined HOH ...

well I guess I'd better read what Melinda's posted!!

GOOD MORNING!

You beat me on a technicality today, Sandy! I posted at 4:15 EST and the DIS ate my long meaningful post. And then ran slowly for another hour or so.

I responded to about 40 people! Just take my word for it. OK?

I woke up early because DH forgot to do tooth fairy and I got up and checked all over the house for cash. Once you've done that there's no going back to sleep.

I'd especially like to go back and Sandy and Danielle.

EVERYBODY HAVE A SKINNY WEIGH IN DAY!

 

[pigget74]

OK...

WHERE IS EVERYBODY>>

is the dis down, and only I can get on??

Melinda can we switch dd? Can she pretend to be dd name? No one will know??

*sigh... dd has locked herself in the bathroom, screaming like a devil child, she is NOT now or EVER getting on a plane, and she will scream so loud that not only will they NOT allow HER on the plane, they will KICK you two off too - dont think I cant do it mom...

welcome to my world.

sorta...

its worse than what it seems

Still waiting on an update on Ryan---he did go back to the hotel Wed. afternoon since the liver biopsy was done that morning. They were hoping to have news that night, but at last we have not heard anything yet--at least I haven't. Will let you prayer warriors know as I soon as I do.

DS is in his first Cross Country meet this afternoon. I found out he was the only 7th grade boy running for the A Team (it is like the varsity team) so what he runs today is very important. DH officially starts traveling today--so by myself with the kiddos this weekend and all the rest from here on out. Not to bad though.

Well I am running late so I need to go and get the kids up for school since we leave in 40 minutes. Have a good one everybody.

I gained .5 this week---not to bad.

Thanks Danielle - keep us posted!!

technicality heh?? Ok... sure... so if I post at 4:15 am CST I still win!! LOL - and btdt with the tooth fairy - only wasnt luckily enough to find anything,,, dd just had to wait one more day!! I blamed it on her!! She didnt sleep that night, every time we went in her room, she popped up and wanted to know why someone was always in her room!

I also ran around to see if you would stalk me this mornin!

Guess I'd better get going, I'm teaching 5th grade -

 

[aries1980]

Morning Peeps... Still over here in Plateauville..... I lost those first 14 really fast and now for months have been stuck, stuck in a rut... Im trying really hard to lose at least another 5 before Peep Meet what only like 14 days till then !!!!

 

[DisneyObsession]

I can confidently say I LOST 3#!!! I started South Beach...again...and it's working. I've only been doing this since Mon, so 3# in 4 days isn't bad! Mon will be a week and the true test!

Eeyore...Didn't see the HSM pic. Not sure what I was suppose to click on in your post. I am praying for your DD. As one who gets sick on planes, I understand her fear. I take 2 Bonine a few hours before I fly and am fine. I use to take Dramamine but it knocks me out. May be the solution she needs...tell her she can sleep through the flight if she takes the Dramamine AND not throw up! OR she stays home with a friend while the rest of you get to go on vacation! <Tough Love>

Melinda...Don't you hate it when the computer eats a long & meaningful post?? Where do those go???

Pigget...Keeping Ryan and the family in my prayers. Thanks for the updates as you learn them.

BB...Don't watch it, never have, never will. Seems so contrived to me.

Off to pack lunch. I'll check back later.

 

[MJMouse]

-3 lbs!!! Whoo Hooty!!

Just a fly by to post weigh-in. I'm off to take the pup to the groomer... Happy weigh-day thoughts to all.

 

[WI_DisneyFan]

I pretty much expected this after my fluky 4 pound gain last week, but I lost 2.4 pounds this week. This brings me to a grand total of 33.6 pounds lost since the start of the year; and uber-grand total of 57.6 pounds lost since April 2005; and I am now 27.4 pounds away from my goal weight of 155.

Hope everyone had a great week!

 

[Disneyfreak92]

Popping in to post my weigh in info. My scale tells me I am up 4 lbs this week! I may weigh again when I get home from work because every day this week I have been having digestive 'issues', and I feel better when I get home. We'll see, but maybe I'm bloated or something. I am not thrilled about it, as I was headed in a good direction nice and slowly, but steadily there for a little while. I hope I can regain that momentum and post a loss next week.

To top it all off, we have someone new starting in our department today, and we are celebrating with a food day! Why do we always have to celebrate with food? Anyway, I brought veggies, and that's what I'll be eating. Someone else brought angel food cake, so I may have a small piece of that. Everything else will likely be just a bite, if that. Not sure what else there is yet. I think I'll be taking it easy on cheat day this week.

Skinny thoughts going out to all of you!

 

[zigzagzerr]

Which is by the grace of God, because I have eaten everything in sight all week long! Thankfully I also did some exercising to offset it.

Need to get back on track.

Too much stress, too much food in the office, and too hungry in the evenings. Know what I mean?

 

[UtahMama]

Since I like yesterday's number a lot better, I'll use it...sorry to "cheat" but I go nuts:


DOWN 2 from last friday!!!!

A TOTAL of 5 since the original start date

BUT, a GRAND total of 97 pounds since 2002.

 

[UtahMama]

Thanks Danielle - keep us posted!!

I saw that! It's ok!!! You'll do better this week, silly girl. That 2# is just a cheeseburger sitting in your intestines. Have a bowl of colon blow?

Sorry about your cousin!!!!

Me too Lynda. All the way around. I am not even posting my gain because I am embarrassed. I just hope I can restart at the end of Sept with Alli, and achieve my long-term goal by the spring.

Zig, I totallly know what you mean!

to Sandy, danielle, and pigget (good thoughts for Ryan on the way!).

I am a big fat lardy too today. I feel nasty and bad. I have exercised this week but I literally have regressed back to extremely bad eating and I feel awful about myself for it.

Crap. Why is it that I struggle to lose every single lb very slowly but I can pile them on with abandon in a matter of days?? Why??

NOT a Food Day!!!! RUN!!!!

Next time celebrate with strippers (how appropriate for the workplace!) or interpretive dance or playing a mean game of Catch Phrase

I always hate that too, but your veggies will be a great choice!

 

[DisneyObsession]

Wendy...Just have to tell you we had a Peep Meet in my dreams last night!!! It seems we met up on Main St in WDW!! And we were both Skinny Minnies!!! Now, that's the kind of dreams I like to have, since I can't come to the REAL Peep Meet!!! (Funny what our subconscience does.)

 

[celerystalker]

I'm down 3 pounds! WOOO!
5.6 to an even 100.
I don't think it will happen by the meet.
but maybe!

 

[If U Had Wings]

I haven't posted in ages and that's been mainly due to the fact that I've been feeling very discouaged about my weight loss the past few weeks. I've been watching what I eat and walking 3-6 miles a day and yet the scale either wasn't moving or was inching up. One morning I wanted to throw the scale across the room. It's awful to put the work in and see no results!

This morning though I was down 2 lbs, which put a smile back on my face. I had been eating peanut butter (fat free, no salt on low cal bread) the past few weeks, which I'm allowed on my diet plan but thought I'd see what happened when I skipped it. I don't know if that's what triggered the loss or if it was just catching up with me.

I tried on the bathing suit shorts I had bought earlier this year and had eaten myself out of and found that they are fitting again. Woo Hoo! Still a bit snug, but wearable as I can bend and sit and do all that kind of stuff.

 

[Sparkie]

Good Morning Peeps!

I'm starting over on my weigh-ins next time. Hopefully I will be back to my 5# ribbon by then and I can start over.

Waiting to hear from a new Family Practice MD- maybe with some medical guidance I can jumpstart my metabolism- the battery is currently dead.

May be a little on the depressed side of things too- my best friend from work moved back home to Indiana- she was my partner in crime and we had become really good friends- I miss her a bunch- My foot is still troublesome and exercise is non-existant- my foot hurts too much- its all I can manage to walk while I am working- and the ever supportive DH- I know he thinks he is helping but asking me things like "dont you want to lose" and "you dont even try" just hurt and kill my desire to try- I know some of you have delt with nonsupportive family members as well-I think those outside comments make hurdles much higher and harder to overcome than any I can create in my on head-

But on a HAPPIER NOTE:
DS- no college - but got a job with a bank- good pay and benefits- he is back to acting like the kid I raised- the responsible kid- glad that other guy is gone- teenage years are rough

DD1- single and happy (remember she broke up with her boyfriend in the middle of my vacation this past July and I sent him home on a plane 3 days after we got there- sent him home from a vacation that I paid for because she "loved" him- yep- mama is still mad 'bout that one)
But DD1 doing well- learning to speak french- so naturally we gotta try the french resturant in Epcot next time, dancing like a maniac, driving and working at JohnnyRockets

DD2- my cuddle bug! Big middle schooler. Keeping up with her sister- dancing alot- and got invited to join the math team at school- What exactly does a math team do?

Melinda Guess the toothfairy had a night off- she forgot to stop in at my house- she must have been "sleeping on the job"- quick save by the tooth"dad" !

gotta get busy - the day is getting away from me-
See Ya!

 

[eeyore45]

Sparkie I love that line, " he is back to acting like the kid I raised- the responsible kid- glad that other guy is gone- teenage years are rough
..."

OK< I'm going to have a couple more hours of a pity party... mainly because of cousin Kathy, I'm weakened, and so the tears come- I read one of your posts... and I cry!!

Gotta run back to work.. but research that YOU ON A DIET -

because with the help of God and Peeps... all who need it are going to take a

U - TURN


I'm not doing this alone!!
