DISappearing Peeps...A fastpass to THIN! Part 4

[aries1980]

don't worry.......i'm definitely not going for the bobble head look a la nichole richie or kiera knightly......gross!



thanks! i really was just being silly. thanks for asking about brooke. you're such a good "listener"! she's doing lots better. she's talking to jon but not dating him at this point. she misses him a lot. she says they text each other all day long more than they talk on the phone. i think she saw him on sunday, but i'm not sure. i try to kind of keep my nose out of it because she gets upset when she starts talking about it. oh, and a friend of his whom he's known since basic training and who's a little more mature than the other guys he's with (married, kids, etc.) e-mailed her about it. he brought up a good point. what if the situation was turned around and jon was a girl and the skank was a guy? there would've been police called and charges filed. this girl was a predator and she took advantage of him while he was very drunk. not that that excuses his behavior, but it is definitely an interesting thought!

okay......so i dug up some old pics last night. you guys were on a roll and i wanted to join in the fun!

this is how i want to eventually look. it's not a bathing suit pic, but it's the only one i could find of my entire body. i'd say i was about 18-19 in this pic. i was probably either a size 6 or 8. i'm in a size 8 now, but i'm not that "fit." still have to work on some of this cottage cheese stuff that seems to have taken over my legs! i have no idea where we are or what we're doing in this picture. check out ray's shoes......what a dork!

and, as promised, the raver fashion show. please consider that me and my friends were young and very stupid and thought we looked totally cool in these pics! you just have to laugh! this first one isn't too bad, except for the wierd-looking makeup and the monkey DJ on my shirt!

what is wrong with us??? i'm on the far left.

now, this one's the best! bee/winkers - you want a laugh? check out my pants!!!

OMG!!!! I so love those brings back the raver memories for me, was very into too. I have those exact same jeans LOL... Double canons billabong... LOL

Peeps!!

I'm so tired!!! I cant sleep on a regular bed - this orthopedic type mattress sure is HOT!! I love my waterbed - I can scooch over the mattress pad, and it feels cold!!

Melinda *duh what a good idea - I'll keep that in mind for next year!! (hoping there is a next year!!) I had her counselor call me "at her convenience" for an "update" - apparently she couldnt sleep last night and went to the nurse - but she is making friends, and is never alone, she is always talking someone into walking somewhere to do "stuff" (Isnt that informative!! ) I get to send emails everyday, and beg her brothers to drop her an email too!!

Today it rained so we went at 6:30AM to Shipshewana Flea Market, they had designer bags for $75 - Coach, Prada, Dooney&Burke - at one booth.. now all over (even in regular malls) I have seen the knock offs, these were bags - they had the right metal tag - they had pigskin/leather feel - I so wanted one... but felt stupid spending $75 if it was a knock off - I went to the Coach outlet their bags were $120.... one lady told me these were the real deal (I know just touching and smelling them - they werent plastic!)

We also tried the new croc sandals - the new flip flop style does have a canvass in between the toes - so its smaller, and feels good... another style has two canvass straps over the top of the foot, below the toes, then an inch back towards the ankle - so the croc doesnt "flop" when you walk!! $38!

OK, I need to make a confession! I was rather non-Peep-like today! It's food day here at work because someone is leaving. (I swear, we have one of these every time we turn around!) And there is a LOT of food here today. All I had this morning were two mini-chocolate chip cookies. But then I had lunch, and I ate way more than I am used to, and now I feel like carp and don't even know if I can count the calories at this point. I think I might actually feel better if I do see exactly how much damage I did, so I can correct for it. But I'll be plugging a lot into calorie king and doing a fair amount of guess-timating. Ugh! I guess I better get to work on it.

Edited to add: I did some GUESS-timating, and if I have a VERY small dinner, I might only end up doing about 600 calories worth of damage. I can be careful the next couple of days and make that up, so I guess it isn't totally ridiculous. I did, however, have more sugar than I'm used to, and I am wishing I hadn't done that because I am fearing that may do some damage on weigh in day. I guess we'll see. I think I will work out tonight too. Wasn't planning on it, but I know I'll feel better if I do.

 

[winkers]

Thanks to everyone for the yesterday! I went to a close friend's father's funeral today. It's amazing how that brought my problems into perspective!! I still feel totally bogged down with stuff but my attitude has officially been adjusted.

I love the stroll down bad clothing choice lane! I don't think I have any pictures on my computer of jr. high or high school, but I did big hair very well! I still remember blowing out the sides of my hair and spranging it so I almost had wings. And I totally did the rolled up jeans along with jeans so thight at the ankle they had to have a zipper and a little bow at the ankle. Oh and stretch pants with stirups! Should we play guess what decade winkers grew up in????

 

[punkin413]

I love the pics! I had forgotten the bangs -- half back and teased! What a look. From the pics and ages, I'm guessing that you are about 2 years older than me. I so had that hairstyle (minus the perm) in middle school. Thanks for sharing! I'll have to go back and see if I have any pics this evening.

well, i'm 30 (VERY close to 31), so i guess that makes you 28-29?

Hi Peeps! I feel like I have been such a bad Peep for not checking in the last couple of days. I haven't been feeling very Peep like and I feel bad posting when I have been such a slacker. I know that is exactly when I NEED to post so I can get on track. I am going to try to catch up on all of the pages. (It has been busy!!) Hello to everyone!!

jump back on this wagon, chicky! that's what we're here for!

OMG!!!! I so love those brings back the raver memories for me, was very into too. I have those exact same jeans LOL... Double canons billabong... LOL

i just remember i got them at hot topic and thought they were SO COOL!

you're allowed to cheat every now and then! i honestly allow myself a cheat day once a week if i lose at least 1 pound every week. and when i say cheat day, i don't mean i eat everything in sight......i just give myself a break from writing it down and still eat sensibly. it helps to have that break day, i think!

glad you feel better! hmmmmmm......let me see. the '80's??!?? i was born in '76, so i'm a child of the '80's and a teenager of the '90's. ask me any question about pearl jam, nirvana or flannel and i can give you an answer!!!

just saw this on the news......

i honestly think it's worse to be involved in something like this than in drugs or stealing or something. it's just cruel. i don't get how people can be so heartless. i know nothing's been proven yet, but if what they're saying is true, i hope he rots in jail.

QUOTE]same here i used to wear Girbauds jeans really baggy and my hair how high could i get my bangs,, i never did the sides.. i was watching beverly hills 90210 yesterday while laying in bed and just thinking i wanted to be like them why???? although i would love to look like what i did at 18 size 8 . although i was married then before 5 kiddos how funny that kids really do change you no matter how you tell yourself they won't ...

 

[winkers]

I apologize for the ginormousnous of these pics, I have no idea how to make them smaller. But Here are some of what I thought were good hair days along with the worst graduation picture ever. My older sister was in beauty school and I was her project the DAY BEFORE senior pictures!!! What in the world was I thinking? I went from shoulder lenth to poodle! Not to mention she turned my light red hair to "tahitian cherry" ..........


This first one is my oldest sister's big fat 80's wedding, I think it was @ 1987

Here is my family picture from 89, it's minus the 2 oldest

This one is 91 and I was mid sentence, hence the weird way my mouth is. But I thought I was the fattest thing alive!!! Oh, and don't ya love the white tights with the black skirt????

And last but not least the graduation circa 1992. I cried because my mom made me send these in my announcements because she had paid for them. My kids ever never even seen this one, but because I love you all so much I pulled it out of the vault and tada.......................................

 

[MJMouse]

well, i'm 30 (VERY close to 31), so i guess that makes you 28-29?

27 almost 28 actually. I did the stirrup pants, tight pants, neon shorts, umbros, birks...

 

[dance2874]

OMG Winkers, I had that same colorblocked shirt!! I loved that thing!!!! We graduated the same year

My camera is copying the pics of pics I took this morning as we speak. Prepare yourself for some cheesy pics coming up......

I can't wait! I had several of the color blocked shirts that year and loved them and of course they were complete with shoulder pads!

We all three graduated the same year! I'll have to see what I can find too.

 

[punkin413]

i just love these old pics......keep em comin!!!!!

winkers - LOVE the pics! were you guys carrying fans instead of bouquets? and that is some NICE hair!

i also had a hair mishap in that middle pic i posted earlier where i'm wearing the greenish sweater, but it was my fault! my stepmom always gave me perms (back when you HAD to have a perm to be cool) and she was giving me that one late on saturday night. after she put the solution on she was really tired and i told her to go to bed, that i could rinse it out and put the conditioner on it myself since we'd done it a thousand times before. well, she did.......and i FELL ASLEEP ON THE COUCH!!!!! i didn't wake up until like 6 a.m. the next morning. my hair was FRIED!!!!! it was a lot longer than that, but i had to cut it that short to get a brush through it. it was awful!!!

since we're sharing old pics, this is one of my favorites. i have it framed in my office. that's my little brother hugging my neck....i think he was about 3. he had crawled into bed with me and this is how my dad found us that morning both sound asleep.....

oh, check out blondie in her senior picture......i was a lifeguard that summer so my hair got all bleached out! my jeans are rolled here, but i don't think they're tight-rolled. i think i had gotten out of that phase by '94, the year i graduated. i think i'm wearing a body suit......you know the ones.....they actually button in areas that nothing should be buttoning in! what idiot created those torture devices????

 

[spongemommie05]

i loved those body suits but i do agree they should not button down there . i will post some pictures of me later i am gonna go to the gym and work my butt off ...

 

[Disneyfreak92]

Here's a couple I posted before. The first one's my sophomore year. The second was my junior year. I'll try to post more later.

 

[winkers]

So cute Lynda! What's sad is that while everyone else was doing the spiral perm I was wishing my hair was strait!

Dawn I love the picture of you with your little brother! So cute. I have a brother and sister 10 & 9 years younger than me and we have a different bond than I do with my older siblings.


Jenny, I love all the pictures. I had a skort, well actually many.

 

[dance2874]

I remember those bodysuits....OUCH!

Ok, hold onto your aqua-net peeps...here are some oldies from me. Sorry for the quality on some of them....

My Senior year dance team pic. Last day of camp performance...I am front row, center. I was captain my last 2 yrs I thought I was pretty fat here, silly me!

Trip to Myrtle Beach for Spring Break in 94 with some roomates/friends. Dont ask...we are holding up some weird condoms on sticks or something, wearing budweiser hats in a gift shop Here, I thought I was SOOO fat too-first on left. I loved that skort

OK, bathing suit pics! I know you were waitng for them, right? This one is pretty far away, swear it was me.... both from spring of 95 or 96

Then we decided to be goofy and do our best bathing suit model poses-

I WISH I was still so fat. I was nuts.

Spring break 97, back in Myrtle beach, me on the rt...still thought I was HUGE. GOSH, I even have my shirt tucked in with a BELT. I cant remember the last time I did that and let it be photographed!

Our sister trip to Disney in fall 97, the one we were supposed to be re-creating this fall

This cracks me up. We parked in row Grumpy 123. There were 3 of us, and BOY were we grumpy by the end of the day. SO much so we got somewhat hysterical and had to take a pic with the sign. It was so hot. We just kept saying it was "africa hot" all day long. ICK. We were going to make shirts (Grumpy 1, Grumpy 2, and Grumpy 3) when we went back this fall, but now they are not sure if they can go or not. And yes, that is a kids fanny pack I am wearing, and it fit. Should have been my first clue maybe I wasnt that heavy afterall, huh?

And lastly, to conclude our trip down memory lane...me and Dh at my grandmas for his initiation to Christmas with my family 1997. Poor guy He looks so thin here, almost sickly! Once again, thought I was gigantic

thanks for posting all these old pics everyone. It made me dig mine out and re-live some memories. And made me see how distored my view of myself was back then!

Well, I have a cheat day on Sundays, so I already had it! This would be cheat day #2. Oops! I rode my bike for 50 minutes, and I had a Morningstar corn dog and a 1/2 cup of cereal w/ 1% milk for dinner - 300 calories. And I'll be extra good tomorrow and the next day.

 

[lexmelinda]

well, i'm 30 (VERY close to 31)

I'll say! Thanks for starting the bad hair photos. I am really enjoying them!

Here's all I can add. These are the only ones I have in digital format. No scanner here.

High school graduation...May '81

Me and DH (before we were married) at my brother's wedding. I'll put this one around 1987. I think his hair might be a little worse than mine.

 

[punkin413]

Dawn I love the picture of you with your little brother! So cute. I have a brother and sister 10 & 9 years younger than me and we have a different bond than I do with my older siblings.

my brother is 10 years younger and my sister is 7 years younger. i'm their second mom! i think i was about 13 in that pic. it's just so cute......he was a little sweetie. now he has dredlocks and plays drums and calls me for money too much. what happened?

Well, I have a cheat day on Sundays, so I already had it! This would be cheat day #2. Oops! I rode my bike for 50 minutes, and I had a Morningstar corn dog and a 1/2 cup of cereal w/ 1% milk for dinner - 300 calories. And I'll be extra good tomorrow and the next day.

you're forgiven! you do so good most of the time...i'm sure this is no biggie!

by the way, i LOVE your hair in that first pic. what were we thinking? i seriously used to take my bangs, wrap them around a hot curling iron and spray them with hairspray while they were on there! EWWWWWWW!!!!!

jen - love your pics, especially the skorts! i had some of those.... sadly, i too thought i was fat when i was in high school. for example, look at that senior pic i posted above......i actually complained because i thought i looked fat in those jeans! what i would do for that body now!!! so silly!!!!

your DH's hair is GREAT!!!!!! i wish i had the one of ray when he had a mullet. i didn't know him back then, but he went to high school with my cousin and he's in his annual. i think it was like '88.

melinda.....i swear you look like a glamorous '80's cover girl model or something! what a fox!
