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

[punkin413]

I guess my family dynamics is grossly evident- I am the "parent" in my family- I am the "fixer"- goes along with being the oldest i guess-

i can so relate to this! EVERYONE in my family (including my parents) calls me for advice. i know i should be proud of the fact that they have so much faith in me, but sometime it really is a burden and brings me down, especially with the stuff my dad's side of the family has dealt with the past 5 years. DRAMA!!! i hope it all works out for you - i'm sure everything will turn out to be okay.

Stopped in for a quick HELLO!!!

Hanging out tonight and just relaxing. It's great! I think I will play on the computer tonight and just have fun! I haven't surfed the web in awhile, so that's what I'll do!!!!

Hi, all!

Tara, in my little town in the south (Mississippi) I have known a Tara (like you), a Tara (like apple) and a Tera (with a short e sound). Sometimes the wrong one just comes out! By the time we meet I'll have your name just right!

Lynda, sorry you're having to wait. I'd want to know too how to start planning. Hope all goes well. I'll just pray generally for it to be the best thing it could be since we don't know what that is.

Where in Mississippi are you from? As you can see I am from Hattiesburg. I have lived in Jackson and Oxford, but came back to Hattiesburg.

Just posted for the first time on WISH. Hope to do more of it. The plan for today is simply to stick to the diet. Good luck to everyone else!

6 pounds! Oops, I mean, 6 POUNDS!!!!!!!!!!

(I get six dancing nana-men!)


Actually, I RE, re, RE lost that same weight. "Yo Yo, Yo-Yo, A dieters life for me"

I won't jinx it by saying "gone forever" this time!

Anywhoo, I was face to face with the most scrumptious Costco Chocolate butter cream cake with chocolate mousse filling for today's graduation party. I ONLY licked my finger (twice) when some accidentally flew off the spatula.

HOODIA works! I swear! I often joke that I could live on Hoodia and diet Pepsi. I AM kidding, though. Or am I? J/K!!!!

Ok, now I have to go back and catch up with my Peeps. Oh, there's a t-shirt at Walmart with a marshmallow Peep on it that says something like, "Just hangin' with my Peeps" For SOME reason I thunk of the smaller sized of y'all! It's junior-sized....sm= 2T, med=3T, Lg.=4T etc. stretchy knit only stretches sooooooooooooo far, I KNOW!

 

[Eventer98]

Congrats on the weight loss to all you Peeps...and of course to the samers too!

The party tonight. Hmm. I did not do well. Of course there were all these dips left over when everyone left so we had to eat more. ugh. At least it is Friday. Then I had a hamburg Happy Meal for dinner. Lunch and bfast were AOK.

Then the wedding tomorrow. We'll see what happens.

My best friends and I were talking about starting to have kids and whatnot at the party...I was telling them we may start trying in WDW. My SIL's head spun around sooooo fast. #&*^^%#!! I didn't want her to know our plans..she is super nosey. I didn't realize she had was standing over to the side. I guess if she starts prying we will be hush, hush. I just hate her know-it-all, condescending nature. Oh well..what can I do.

Have a great night everyone!!

I stayed the same this week, and I want to thank everyone for their support. DH is having physical/emotional problems, and it's bringing me down too. This thread helps me keep going. I was very moody the other day, and I read about Sandy's (?, I think) inherited bird that says, "Papa, what the h***?". I laughed so hard I cried, and I couldn't even tell DH why it made me laugh. Then DD came home and we got in a big argument, and I sobbed myself to sleep. I don't usually have such big mood swings. I think it's a combo of family pressure, work pressure (just 2 weeks to go now!) and hormones. I feel totally exhausted.

PEEPS, I am not in a good place. There are too many things going on right now and I feel like my life is crashing around me. I don't know if I'll be posting much for the next couple of weeks.

We had to cancel all of our travel plans for the next 6 mos. DH said it was too much of a burden financially to do any of it. I won't be going in Jan to the 5K either. He has no idea that our trip was what has been keeping me together and focused on something. He said I'm being very selfish and immature for being really upset by our change in plans.

So sorry and big hug to you. I think you're totally within your rights to be so upset. Hope you feel better soon, and DH gets over his case of menareputz.

I'm determined not to buy clothes until I'm in an 18. I started in a 28/30. I'm down to a 24.
Think I can find enough belts to hold my pants up? Ha. My butt is still big enough that my pants won't go past my hips without help.
So I started as "Super morbidly obese" and now I'm just "Morbidly obese."
Another 25 pounds lost and I'll be just plain "obese."
At 145, I'll be at the high end of ideal.
Just 110 more pounds to go!

Good going. Would you ever consider shopping at a thrift store to tide you over? I'm lucky because I live in a city of about a million people, so we get great stuff at the thrift store in all sizes.

Could this be the one? I HOPE I am QUEEN.

I AM THE QUEEN---I SWOOPED AND WON!!! GOing to take a nap now.

Woooo Hooooty!

ok now since we hit 15000 or are about too not sure whos coming in for the swoop i know im trying!!!
EVERYONE HAS TO DO SOMETHING EXTRA SPECIAL FOR HITTING 15000!!!

Woooo Hooooty to you too!

WTH WTH WTH///

wtfh is going on in the universe??

I just had a screamin match with a "man" in the stands of dd 4th grade concert - I stood my ground - he was rude, and I stood up to him, then his wife yelled that I might hit her son? what/
and I cant read here, but my friends are having bad bad things... and well life is wrong right now..
hugging my loved ones, and praying for the universe to right this mess!! Do you hear??? I want patience, and I want it right now...
No one is alone, no one... grab hold, the wagons are going to be coming up -

Isn't that, "Papa, WTH?" Anyway, I'm hoping now that the full moon is past, things can go back to normal (whatever that is).

for some reason this made me have a flashback to my obsession with the movie "fargo" and constantly saying, "we're going to aarrrrrrby's for lunch, don't cha know???"

DH and I were watching the end the other night. Great movie! Do you know I just figured out the other day that Arby's =RB's=Roast Beef. I felt like "Duh".

Just posted for the first time on WISH. Hope to do more of it. The plan for today is simply to stick to the diet. Good luck to everyone else!

Hope you have fun with us here.

Oh, and we call it soda at my house too. I don't know why. My dad was from Arkansas. My mom is from Australia. DH is originally from NY, and I'm a CA native. With that combination, I always say it's a wonder I speak English.

GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE!

Got up early to call the passport bureau this morning and they don't open til 9! As of yesterday morning, DD's passport had been completed but not approved. We are hoping it was approved and shipped out yesterday. We're crossing our fingers and toes, braiding our hair, tying our shoes, and praying every day with gratitude that it arrives in time if indeed she is meant to go on this trip.

BEE....I looked at all the pictures on your dad's memory page. He looks like such an adorable man...so sweet with all the babies. I know you will miss him.

richard_andmel! Are you Richard or Mel? Not that it matters...either way you are welcome!

I think starting at DIsney is a great place. I understand totally about the inlaws!!! For a while everyone was asking me if Joshua was a "Magical Baby" Just think if he was I sure would have noted it somewhere in his name

I am sorry that you got up early and they were closed---they told us to call at 6 You know that was after my sister called them all a bunch of morons--not a good thing since they still had all but one of her passports Hopefully all will be well. When does she fly out? I have faith that it will be here in time. My sister mailed hers, her DH, and DD #2 1 month before DD#1 and got DD's #1 passport a full month before she got the rest---go figure!

Today is a very busy day---all kids are getting much needed haricuts, birthday part at a small lake type water park---then here is the clincher--DS leaves for camp in the morning--we knew that he had to have full uniform for 3 weeks--already had the shirt because that is all our group requires, but for camp you have to have it all. Camp alone was close to 200 and we were paying for the church camp for the older 2 a the same time for another 400 and DH and I were leaving on our trip. We find out about uniform and the additional stuff was going to cost another 100--well we were out of funds for last month with all the extra going on. DH was in charge of getting the uniform and he left for a mission trip on Monday and did not leave the funds for me to purchase. He got back early yesterday morning. They went yesterday afternoon, but guess what--they were out of his size shorts. (We were able to get the rest of the stuff he needed) At the time we thought no big deal there is another scout office 30-45min. away we will call and see what they have--they have nothing So now we call all friends to see if anyone has an extra set. SO far nothing. Now we have to drive 2 hours each way to get a pair of shorts for camp in the morning. Somehow I will fit this in DH day to do. The reason the shorts are this important is--with out full uniform on they are not allowed to go into the mess hall for dinner--I know it sounds stupid, but that is the rule----we might run to Wal-MArt and see if they have anything that might work--but they won't be official BSA uniforom shorts. Hopefully we will find them!!!

Bee and Dan and girls, many being sent your way.

We figured out what the problem is with the world right now, there was a blue moon in May. Blue moons are the second full moon in a calendar month. The first one was May 2nd and the second was on May 31st. I'm sure we've all heard or said "Once in a blue moon......" Well that's what happened, the rare occurance sent life into a momentary tailspin.

I am doing better and DH is over his menareputz. He realized that even though things would've been tight financially, we still could've gone on our trip. The kids are making him feel bad for it which isn't helping him much. We are going to look into a short weekend trip somewhere with the family so the kids can have something fun later this year.

I had a really really bad night on Wed and it continued into Thurs. I finally broke and was a hysterical sobbing mess. It didn't take DH long to see that I was barely holding myself together and put me on a forced vacation. He called my work and told them I needed at least the rest of the week off and probably part of next week too. It's helped tremendously. I haven't done much of anything at all for the last two days. Of course, it's not fixing the underlying problem but it's helping me gain a bit of space and mental fortitude so I can go back into the real world and deal with everything again. Since we aren't going on our big trips this year, it's not hurting us for me to be off work.

I've got to run, my sister's neighborhood is having their annual flea market and tonight I'm most likely going to get to meet Lynda when she's in town.

Have a good Sat Peeps!

Good Morning Peeps! This will be my last post before I leave for vacation! We are going to stay close to the airport tonight. I am so excited!! I checked the 10 day forcast for Orlando and they are calling for storms the whole time we are there. Hopefully, they won't last long enough to make a difference. I have ponchos though! I will miss my Peeps! Everyone have a safe and skinny week!!

I had heard there really was such a thing as a blue moon but can't ever remember the details. That is very interesting. I'm glad too that you're doing better. Sometimes a good cry helps - and I fully believe in vacations - even if it's at home - just away from the work!

Trying to get a lot accomplished today. Has anyone done a photobook at Disneyphotopass.com? I recently did a photobook from my Europe trip and was beyond thrilled with the results. The Disney one is really not unreasonably priced compared to others considering you can use Disney copyrighted material, etc. But I was curious about whether anyone had done it - was pleased - or disappointed!

Where is everyone today?

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!
