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

[pigget74]

OH....and one more

CONGRATS!!!!


Urgent prayer request: WE got a call from a friend this morning when we were leaving the beach-her grandson who has a protein disorder--can't have any or it will kill him--almost died 4 times a a baby before they realized what was wrong--he is now 7 years old and takes a lot of medication to stay alive--if he gets like a virus he has to be hospitalized in order to get the stuff he needs to help if he gets any protein. The only cure is a liver transplant--well this morning they get a call and he is getting it tonight in Philadelphia. Please pray for Ryan and his family. It has been a long, long, hard battle for them. I know that you gals and guys are praying people Thanks

 

[eeyore45]

Adding Ryan to the prayer list - please let him know the prayer warriors in Illinois will keep him and his family in our prayers - it is an honor to be asked to pray!!

Ryan's been added to our prayer chain, please keep me updated, and the prayers will keep coming! Let Grandma know - we here for her in spirt!!

 

[winkers]

She's so precious!!! I need a baby!!!

:
Prayers please - My niece and her brand new hubby (they served in Iraq, secretly got married, and she had a miraculous pregnancy - )ANYWAY - she was discharged, but he was still active duty - and they were assigned Atlanta - well Monday he was out on his motorcycle - and got hit - on a highway! Its a career ending injury, but - he wont lose a leg - he is in the hospital, and has had several long surgeries, and is scheduled for more. I pray that he will bo ok - just so sad! (She is some kind of surgical trauma nurse, and is allowed to be by him, and help him!)

Sandy, I'm so sorry! My prayers are with your family!

 

[winkers]

the last two hours have been completely horrendous. i called my sister this morning....something just told me i should. ......

Dawn, isn't it amazing how sometimes you just KNOW when to call someone? I have that with my younger siblings. Anyway, wow. I don't have any great advice. Just be her shoulder to cry on. 4 years ago my little sister's fiance called her one morning about a month before the wedding and said he changed his mind! No reasons why, apology, nothin. Just I don't want to marry you anymore. And that was it. It was horrible. But she's now happily married and the mom of the cute little baby I posted pictures of.

And the saga continues...crush update


There you have it...the crush update.

Ok this should be called the dating drama thread...I have something to ask.

A. (the crush) is ridiculously nice and kind. So nice and kind that practically everyone in the department jokes that he would come to your house and change a lightbulb if you asked him. He will literally (and I've witnessed it) drop whatever it is he's doing to help you with whatever it is you need.

That is definitely one of the reasons I like him.

However, it poses some problems. One being, how do I tell if he is just being his super nice polite self or being super nice because he is interested? My girlfriend said I should just ask him for lunch or something, very casual, don't even say it's a date. Just ask him so we can be alone. Now if I even built up enough courage to do this, I could see him saying yes just because he's nice and not because he might also want to spend some time alone with me. I wouldn't know the difference. And then we'd still be nowhere.

I don't want to rush things or anything but this semester is coming to an end shortly and I will not be seeing him nearly as much next semester. If anything is to happen, I need to already have an "in" with him so to speak.

Then I was thinking that because he gave the impression that he hasn't had that much experience with the ladies, he probably is not getting my subtle hints (which as my good friend pointed out, are pretty darn subtle...I'm a shy girl). What does she expect me to throw him against the wall and plant one on him? That would go over well. Or he could feel like I do most of the time - not think that someone could be romantically attracted to him/her.

Alright, I'm done now. I just have been thinking about it a lot tonight and no one I talk to has any advice. And some think that because he didn't take me up on my coffee offer, it means he's totally uninterested.

And I really want to hang out with him this weekend

Vent #2 over for the night.

As entertaining as this is for the rest of us, I'm sure you're frustrated! I wouldn't agree that just because he's nice he's hiding behind it or anything. Some men are actually that way!! I know because I married one. And the one thing I've learned in 15 years of living with a man is they don't get our "hints"! As obvious as we may think they are, they just want us to tell it up front. So pass him a little note that says do you want to go on a date? You know the ones with the boxes to check for yes or no! Totally kidding!

the last two hours have been completely horrendous. :

I am so sorry your sister is going through this!! I don't know if I have a lot of advice to give in this area other than to send some prayers that your sister's heart will mend quickly. She is lucky to have a sister like you who cares so much for her and who just knows when a phone call is needed.


Wonders:

I think group situations take the pressure off of both of you. Maybe you could do another dinner or a study session. The more you see each other outside of the clinic environment the more you will really get to know each other.

 

[dwheatl]

Wonders- It's not bad to do the friend thing w/your crush before it goes any further. Coffee, lunch, or whatever, gives you a chance to chat and laugh and share before the drama of romance. So if he says yes just to be nice, that's not necessarily a bad thing. You're young, so you don't need to rush.

Kat, Sandy, Pigget, Fidge and everyone else w/ troubles- and Prayers. I'm still catching up.

Punkin - I'm one of the ones who will never trust a cheater. I think it shows such a lack of respect for the "beloved", for the person w/whom he cheats, and for himself. I told DH he better never cheat, because I could forgive, but never forget. Once that threshold has been crossed, and trust has been broken, it would be almost impossible to ever trust him again, and that's very rough on a relationship.

Finally-Jen! Hooray! I'm so dense, I thought, "What, the bride is pregnant?"

I'll post tomorrow about my trip for the 4th. I used DH's camera, so I'll need help to post the pictures. Goodnight all!

 

[MJMouse]

Good morning and Happy Weigh Day to all!

Holy-moly, I can't believe that I'm up and posting before Melinda. Well I can believe I'm up (usually at work before 630), but don't usually get to the board quite this early.

Well, I am -3 lbs!!!! for this week (not the -5 of last week, but can't have that all the time). I am 8 lbs from a BIG goal of mine... gotta re-start exercise and push to that next drop!

I must share some old-now-new wardrobe excitement. Last night, I put on the dress that I wore to my college graduation and it zipped and looked pretty great! It's actually a very classic black sheath dress and I've wanted to wear it again for several years. My next clothing goal is the suit that I wore when I interviewed for my job 5+ years ago -- it goes on, it zipps/buttons, I wouldn't be caught dead in it in public just yet.....

Skinny pants and calorie free nachos to all!

 

[lexmelinda]

GOOD MORNING AND HAPPY WEIGH IN DAY!

Since our thread mama is still sans broadband, she has asked me to fill in on taking weigh ins this week.

NEWBIES! PLEASE POST YOUR + OR - NUMBERS AT THE TOP OF YOUR POST IN A BRIGHT, BOLD COLOR. THANK YOU!

DH worked on the water heater last night...here's hoping I get a shower this morning!

SANDY....Your neice's husband has prayers being sent for a fast and full recovery. Why do people ride motorcycles? It's not the people on the motorcycles who are dangerous, mind you, but the people in the cars who don't pay attention to the people on the motorcycles. My dad used to have one and after 3 of his closest friends died in 2 separate accidents, he parked his and sold it. Thank goodness.

i'm not saying that justifies ANYTHING....but at least the guy has a conscious!

I thought the same thing when I read your first post. Why, why, why didn't he just go to confession? But he came straight to her and told her. What does this mean? Is he asking for forgiveness? Why did he want her to know? Who feels better now? Since I don't know him, I can't begin to answer any of these questions but I agree with Danielle...I could forgive but I could never forget...and worry that it might happen again. I'll pray that she makes the right decision re: their relationship.

I know that you gals and guys are praying people Thanks

Ryan is added to my prayer list. Please give us an update on his condition, Heather.

Kat, Sandy, Pigget, Fidge and everyone else w/ troubles- and Prayers. I'm still catching up.

Thanks for the recap, Danielle!

HERE'S HOPING FOR BIG, GIANT NUMBER TODAY!

HAVE A GREAT DAY, EVERYONE!

CONGRATS!!!!
Urgent prayer request: WE got a call from a friend this morning when we were leaving the beach-her grandson who has a protein disorder--can't have any or it will kill him--almost died 4 times a a baby before they realized what was wrong--he is now 7 years old and takes a lot of medication to stay alive--if he gets like a virus he has to be hospitalized in order to get the stuff he needs to help if he gets any protein. The only cure is a liver transplant--well this morning they get a call and he is getting it tonight in Philadelphia. Please pray for Ryan and his family. It has been a long, long, hard battle for them. I know that you gals and guys are praying people Thanks

and and prayers coming his way... is he in Children's Hospital?? I have a neighbor who is a scrub nurse in the OR there -- she considers it the BEST place for childrens medicine in the area...

 

[aries1980]

Punkin: I wish I had some super remedy or wise words but if you all knew how screwy my whole entire love life was with having that butterfly love with someone to being cheated on, to devious friends and my whole long dramatic wedding disasters...you would want to read the book, which should be a soap opera after that.

One thing I can offer up is tell her to follow her heart, its the one you have to live with more than your mind. Now in no way shape or form am I condoning the whole cheating thing, but sometimes matters of the heart affect the heart a whole lot longer than the mind. But if combined with just the right of both a clearer decision can be made.... if that makes any sense at all.

I send her my thoughts and pixie dust that she finds some relief in her pain and a love that will make her heart so full it tingles.

This is my first gain since I joined this thread in March but I know it's from WDW. I thought it would be more like 4 pds so I am happy.

I hope everyone has a great Friday. Pixie dust to those who need it.

 

[Sparkie]

Good morning PeePs!

Just popping in. My boarding passes are printing!!!

I did weigh last pm - had to check the luggage weight- DD1 is a massive packer- what teenage girl isnt-

Anyway I had gained one last week and I still have it but at least it didnt find any friends. So . .


Samer for me

Well off to shower and then to that most Magical Place that we so dearly love. Talk to you guys on the 17th.

Hugs and Prayers-
See Ya!

 

[MA pigletfan]

-3 for me! Granted it was 3 of the 3.8 i gained on my two week WDW/Nantucket excursioin..but hey..i will take it !

Punkin...whats going on with your sister makes me so . When that happens to someone you love you just want to make it all go away and think of the other person as evil. But it is so much trickier than that, as you know. Especially with other "issues" involved. You are being a great big sister right now and being there for her..but here is some extra

have a great day everyone!!

 

[punkin413]

i'm -2 pounds this week. but actually that's for the last two weeks since i took a freebie last week. but i'll take it! 7 pounds from my goal!!!!!!

prayers and good thoughts being sent your way! let us know how everything goes!

I must share some old-now-new wardrobe excitement. Last night, I put on the dress that I wore to my college graduation and it zipped and looked pretty great! It's actually a very classic black sheath dress and I've wanted to wear it again for several years.

congrats! what a good feeling!!!

that's exactly what i gained from my WDW trip, too! not too shabby!!!

HAVE A BLAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just I don't want to marry you anymore. And that was it. It was horrible. But she's now happily married and the mom of the cute little baby I posted pictures of.

i keep telling her that she will look back on this one day and just remember it as a learning experience. i just wish i could fast forward a year for her or something!

Punkin - I'm one of the ones who will never trust a cheater. I think it shows such a lack of respect for the "beloved", for the person w/whom he cheats, and for himself. I told DH he better never cheat, because I could forgive, but never forget. Once that threshold has been crossed, and trust has been broken, it would be almost impossible to ever trust him again, and that's very rough on a relationship.

brooke said the same thing to me. she said he was begging her to try to work all this out, that they could make it through it and he'd get help for his drinking. and she said she honestly thought he was so sorry and sincere about what he was saying, that he'd never do it again. but then she was like, "but i could never trust him again....ever."

I thought the same thing when I read your first post. Why, why, why didn't he just go to confession? But he came straight to her and told her. What does this mean? Is he asking for forgiveness? Why did he want her to know? Who feels better now? Since I don't know him, I can't begin to answer any of these questions but I agree with Danielle...I could forgive but I could never forget...and worry that it might happen again. I'll pray that she makes the right decision re: their relationship.

i guess he thought he needed to be honest with her. she said he looked terrible when he was at her apartment and he could barely get what he said out. i told her good......i hope he feels like a big pile of poo poo for a very long time!!!!! anyway, we were talking last night and we agreed that it was better that he told her instead of her finding out from someone else. i think the only other way she could've found out was if the girl decided to go all fatal attraction on him and tell brooke herself, then that would've hurt even more.

Punkin: I wish I had some super remedy or wise words but if you all knew how screwy my whole entire love life was with having that butterfly love with someone to being cheated on, to devious friends and my whole long dramatic wedding disasters...you would want to read the book, which should be a soap opera after that.

But if combined with just the right of both a clearer decision can be made.... if that makes any sense at all.

I send her my thoughts and pixie dust that she finds some relief in her pain and a love that will make her heart so full it tingles.

thank you! i told her to follow her heart too. she said she was gonna try, and that's hard for her because she's so super smart and such a practical person....she usually bases her decisions on what her brain's telling her, not her heart. anyway, she talked to him last night and got all the horrible details that no one wants to hear but somehow you make yourself sit through in these situations. she told him that there was no way she could even think about trusting him right now or being with him in a relationship, that IF that's even a possibility, it would take a long time and a lot of mending on his part and him getting some help for his drinking. she told him if he didn't stop drinking that she didn't even want to be his friend because she couldn't deal with the thought of him abusing himself that way. we'll see!

thanks again everyone for listening to my sister's drama. this has been so frustrating for me - i feel like it's happening to me, too! i was sitting on the couch crying last night and DH was just dumbfounded as to what to do to comfort me because...well......what could he do? anyway, thanks for your thoughts.....it's amazing what someone else's perspective will make you realize. i appreciate you guys volunteering your shoulders for me to cry on!!! it's making it easier for me to be there for her!

-2.8!! After all the bad eating and stress this week, I am quite frankly stunned. I get new bling!!

punkin, I am so sorry your sister is going through this, but I am glad she is standing her ground. Cheating is unforgivable imho. You are a great big sis!

Fidge, pigget, I will be thinking of you and yours.

Wonders, sorry your crush is being such a head!! Men can be so clueless sometimes. However, as tough as it is... I do have to somewhat go with your friends on this one... if he had wanted to hang out with you he would have jumped on the chance. You deserve someone who woos you and thinks you are the best thing ever.

Sparkie, have fun in WDW!!

More news on my FIL... evidently they found major evidence of his drinking issues and how much he had been hiding, when some friends of my MIL cleaned up their yard. Not all of his medical issues are drinking-related, but it appears that it is a major contributor, esp. when combined with not eating. Please think of her if you can, she is embarrassed, humiliated, and angry that this has happened.

Hope everyone has a skinny and happy day!!

 

[celerystalker]

I lost 1.2. Woo! And it's aunt flo's week and I haven't seen ooh: yet, so I'm sure next week will be a bigger loss. Hopefully. I want to hit the 80 lb mark soon so I can shoot for 100 by the time the meet rolls around! I'm at 77.6 lost right now.
Come on! I can do it!
(If I'd stop drinking.)

Punkin - that sucks about your sister. I hate cheaters, but at least he confessed. I have a friend who is going insane right now - his wife started cheating on him 2 years ago and still blames HIM for her cheating? When she chooses to admit it? He finally got the divorce finalized, but he was a godly man before this and has a really hard time with it. He had to catch her multiple times (through hacking his own computer and getting copies of her text messages) before she's even begin to admit that it was going on.
So even if your sister is not able to be with him, it's so much better to have the band aid ripped off than a slow agonizing removal.
Hopefully they will both learn from this and come out on the other side stronger.

 

[ThinkTink75]

Anyone know how to convert kilograms to pounds? lol... I don't know why but as I am babysitting here I figured I would just try and wiegh in on a different scale (I like to be consistent) but I can't figure out how to switch it back to pounds (or why its even on kg )! Last week I was only down .2 which makes me having had lost a total of 3 lbs of the first 3 weeks I joined on this thread. I ate like the anti-peep the last few days so here's hoping whenever I work out the math and have not gained back the last 3 weeks 3 pounds

Have a great time!!! I am so jealous!

I have to say it is very weird not to weigh in today....good but weird. I will keep weighing though, just not trying to lose. I find that if I dont keep at least weighing, I will eat like I am having triplets or something. Need to keep myself in check

Have a good weigh in day everyone!
