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

[Wonders10]

Hey everyone!

What a long day. My class ran 30 minutes later than usual and I was already in a grumpy mood because the crush cancelled our study date. Whatever. I'm not reading too much into it. I like him and its not going away anytime soon so I'm just going to talk and flirt and not make a total fool out of myself and when the semester starts to wind down I will re-assess the situation. A girlfriend of mine, who is around him a lot, was talking to him. Turns out his last girlfriend was Irish (like me) and that it was long distance and it lasted a couple years. He broke it off with her the beginning of the year or something. He also said that he is pretty afraid of rejection (who isn't?) and that he likes to know if someone is interested in him before he makes a move on them. Great.

Can I tell you a secret? And this is how I feel about all guys, all the time...I think I'm too fat for a boyfriend. Ridiculous I know but true nevertheless. I automatically assume that most guys would not be interested in me because I'm not a size 4. How do I stop that? Not just with this guy, but with all guys? I even felt like this when I was thinner so it isn't a new development.

On a brighter note, I'm bringing Phoebe in tomorrow morning! The morning clinicians told the class that a special visitor was coming in tomorrow and it may or may not be a human...one of the girls asked if it was an alien! too cute. They reassured her it was not going to be an alien, but it might have 4 legs. I wish I could take and post pics for you but confidentiality laws kind of frown upon that so I'll just write about it vividly.

And please send some pixie dust that Phoebe is a good little girl and on her best behavior. Thanks!

Winkers...so glad you made it through ok. The pain after I can handle. It's always the actual procedure that scares the crap out of me. Not sure if you saw my post, but I did call to make an appt. I'm going on Monday for a consult and updated xrays and all that good stuff.

wow....i couldn't check the peeps thread today and i'm so behind!

Newbie to the thread!

WELCOME!!!!! this is a great place! i'm sure someone's already mentioned the weigh-ins on fridays to you. you'll love it here.....so much support! and i totally can tell a difference in your pics....great job!

July is a very busy peeps birthday month so let's start it off with one of our most favorite and been-around-the-longest peeps, DisneyObsession....

GAYLE!!!​

DITTO FROM ME!!!! hope you had a magical birthday!

Guess what? I am tied for third place over on the photography board's weekly photo contest in the Fireworks final poll!

congrats!!!!!! you totally deserver to win....i so envy your photography skills! let us know what happens!

I'm alive! Well, let's say the lights on but nobodys home. The procedure wasn't anywhere near as bad as I had thought it would be. I was so numb even my eyelid was numb. Hurts worst today just on my jaw so I'm on some happy pills. Hence I'm not going to write anymore because I tend to not make sense on my meds.
Shannon, definatley get in and get things done before they get worse. That was my mistake.

you're so silly!!! hope you're feeling better.

Greetings All!

I am new to the thread.

WELCOME!!!!! as i said above to the other newbie, you'll love it here!

We are off to get some pizza for dinner....YUM! I will have some for you guys too

i'm so jealous!

Can I tell you a secret? And this is how I feel about all guys, all the time...I think I'm too fat for a boyfriend.

no, no, no, sweetie! you just haven't found the right guy yet. and i'm not just blowing smoke...i'm serious. of course there needs to be an attraction there, but i've seen you and you're a cute girl....nothing to worry about!!! a true man doesn't care about a size 4. as long as he loves you for what's inside and as long as you're not harming yourself with your weight.....it shouldn't matter! when i was a size 14 (and yes, i realize that's not obese, but that was me at my heaviest) my DH didn't care and told me i was crazy for standing in my closet and crying about the fact that none of my clothes fit me. please know that you're a beautiful girl and any guy....ANY GUY......would be lucky to have you!

by the way, everyone, thanks for the car info. i *think* what we've decided to do is just keep the cabrio for a fun little weekend car and buy him something cheap just for his commuting car for work. he works about 20 minutes from home, so the commute isn't that bad. we're looking at possibly honda civics or maybe a ford focus. i'm not big on fords, but my sister has a focus and loves it.

i know there are a couple of people (i think?) going to the doctor soon....i'm sending pixie dust your way!!!!!!

okay....so i watched BB tonight. here are my thoughts for my fellow BB addicts.....and be forewarned: i'm very judgmental when it comes to BB. but c'mon....these people signed up to live their lives on TV. they love the attention - positive or negative!

amber - i hope she stays, but not necessarily because i like her but for entertainment value. she just cracks me up with her little prayers, "i NEED you to make me strong.....i NEED to win the POV." since when do you tell god what you NEED, especially when it's to win a competition????? and what's up with her '90's hair?

carol - she'll probably go....she's not getting much air time.

danielle - she seems like a good player, but she is totally grossing me out with her boneage! gross! she needs to eat a sandwich!!!

evel dick - he's just a kook. i like him.

justin/joe - i'm grouping them together because if one goes, the other one will be boring. they are too funny.

jen - she's already getting on my nerves. what's up with her lying about nick trying to kiss her? that's just psycho.

jessica - i think she's the airhead of the show this year. i read on a BB website that she said something about "the elections are thursday." elections? i didn't realize that elections were coming up in july!?!

i haven't made up my mind on everyone else yet. so that's my two cents.

 

[sorul82?]

Hi All! I haven't been over here in a while. I just wanted to pop in to say that I have been on Nutrisystem for a month and have lost 12 pounds. I hope everyone is doing great.

 

[DisneyObsession]

Happy Birthday Gayle!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry I didn't make this sooner ! Hope you know I still love ya!!!

​

Thank-you and it looks delicious!!!!​

Hi All! I haven't been over here in a while. I just wanted to pop in to say that I have been on Nutrisystem for a month and have lost 12 pounds. I hope everyone is doing great.

Congrats on the loss! WTG! I went to the Dr today for my thyroid and ended up talking to him about Alli. He doesn't recommend it, but suggested I try South Beach as it works well. So, I pulled out my book and will be starting that!

Thank you all for the birthday wishes! It has been a good day all in all. Both my DD & DS got me Disney Dollars and DH gave me an MP3 player! Silly me wasn't sure what it was to start with, but then he (with the help of the kids) explained it to me. Now to learn how to use it!

OK...off to bed, as I'm beat!!! See all of you in the morning!!!

 

[S.Poppins]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GAYLE!!!!



I know no one remembers me....

My name is Stacey. I am the mother of an All Star baseball player. I am employed full time at our church as the preschool director, small group director, etc.... I am a full-time grad student. And I am still fat.

Sorry I have been MIA this summer. Jackson finally finished baseball. We ended up third in the state. It was bittersweet. I just wanted to check in with everyone. I have informed my family that we have got to get back on track with our health. We have a big wedding coming up in GA - next week. Then summer camp. I am going to try to start weighing in again. I need the accoutability.

Hello to all the new people - I am sure there are many.

Happy birthday to all the birthdays I missed.

.

You are a beautiful girl! I second what Dawn said. There is a guy out there for you and he will NOT care if you are a size 4 or a size 44. He will love you unconditionally.

okay....so i watched BB tonight. here are my thoughts for my fellow BB addicts.....and be forewarned: i'm very judgmental when it comes to BB. but c'mon....these people signed up to live their lives on TV. they love the attention - positive or negative!

i haven't made up my mind on everyone else yet. so that's my two cents.

I love your breakdown! I am going to do the same. On the live feeds you really see who is who in the house.


Amber-tries to be everyones friend in an over the top way. Like she will clean for them. Or compliments people all the time. The 90's hair!

Carol-Complains so much about being in the house. She yells at the cameras for "following her". Um, I'm sorry but didn't you know you were going to live in front of cameras? That is the whole point? I think she wants people to think she wants to leave so she can save face if she gets voted out (which will probably happen).

Evel Dick-He can be pretty crude with a lot of his stories. But he has a lot of strategy and he is playing a good game.

Nick-Everyone in the house seems to love him. He is very low key and people listen to him. He is a strong player. Zack is playing a similar game.

Kail-So far she is in an alliance but I think they would get rid of her if they had to.

Jen-She is annoying. She seems to care way too much about how she looks. Last night she said she won't go anywhere unless they have vallet. She also was bragging about how she has all kinds of connections.

That is my two cents so far.

[Eventer98]

OK I have been found out! YES I have!!

OK OT question would love some answer to from the oh so learned ones!

Heres my ? what thread or oard to find out info about APs? Now if you have an AP can you still get the free dining rooms or do you have to buy a ticket for one day??

OK so I said a question ok so I may have more like 10 ?? I am consideering doing this as I am hoping to make 2 trips next year hoping for 1 family one in April and a peeps meet in Spetmber.

I need something to keep my motiveated as I will be home when all you peeps have your grand goings ons!

So anyway I am wondering when you buy the tikcet is it effective from date of purchase or date of activation ?? So many ?'s

WHat daredevil is willing to read between my typos nad figure this one out with me??

Love YAs!~

Fidge-I just bought an AP in June! B/c I am DVC I don't get free dining BUT I was told you willhave to buy a 1 day ticket in order to get it. I also ordered mine through Undercover Tourist and got a voucher in the mail. when I activated it on June 24th it says it expires a year from that day. Also, the AP's include PH which I didn't realize so that was a nice bonus. Plus, you get a ton of discounts....all the TS's that don't take the DDP will give you an discount on food. So it really paid off for me! Hope that answers most of your questions!

 

[nettii]

WONDER10
Im so sorry you fell that way because thats the way Ive felt forever. But the truth is if you love your self and life you will shine no matter what your size. Ive been tons of sizes and my DH always tells me he loves me no matter what size I am and he insists guys like a woman with curves. Dont get down on your self life is to short and that special guy is out their and he will love you for who you are!

 

[lexmelinda]

GOOD MORNING, ALL!

Again, I'm a late arrival and the thread has been chatty lately....which is good! So long story short....I'm behind!

Just a few quick comments...

SHANNON....Enough of that stinkin' thinkin' girl! Any man who wouldn't love you because of your weight is not the one for you! Honestly! You're smart and beautiful and any guy would be LUCKY to have you!

STACEY, S'LATE....We miss you guys!

NEWBIES....

Gots to get to work on time today! I'm getting a new computer!

Have a great day, everyone!

 

[punkin413]

Hi All! I haven't been over here in a while. I just wanted to pop in to say that I have been on Nutrisystem for a month and have lost 12 pounds. I hope everyone is doing great.

hi! congrats on the weight loss! come by more often!!!

I know no one remembers me....

of course we remember you!!!! tell your DS congrats on the baseball! third place in the state? how awesome!!! by the way, where is the wedding that you're going to in georgia?

Jen-She is annoying. She seems to care way too much about how she looks. Last night she said she won't go anywhere unless they have vallet. She also was bragging about how she has all kinds of connections.

about the vallet thing....gimme a break! to use a line from "tommy boy," hi, i'm earth....have we met???

my sister (i'm sure you guys remember the drama that's been happening this past week with her!) just posted a new blog on myspace and i just had to share it with you guys. she just amazes me.....

-------------
I love life...Yeah, I'm sad, but at the same time, I'm really happy that something could make me feel that sad. It's like... It makes me feel alive, you know. It makes me feel human. The only way I could feel this sad now is if I felt something really good before. So I have to take the good with the bad.
-------------

hope you guys have a good day! i'm off to atlanta for another deposition.

I even felt like this when I was thinner so it isn't a new development.

Finally, a topic on here that I actually know something about - how a man's brain works!!! Let me reassure you that nothing could be farther from the truth. Now, I will admit that SOME men do think that way. But those are the immature ones that you would want nothing to do with anyway. The really good, honest, decent guys that you can bring home to your parents quickly look past any imperfections that you have on the outside to see the perfections on the inside. And quite frankly, I think a lot men like women with a few curves. Personally, nothing is more unattractive to me than a woman who is a size 10 and looks at herself in the mirror and thinks "I am so fat". It just turns my stomach. Don't you worry. Your Prince Charming is out there, and he'll love you for who you are AND because of how you look!

okay....so i watched BB tonight. here are my thoughts for my fellow BB addicts.....and be forewarned: i'm very judgmental when it comes to BB. but c'mon....these people signed up to live their lives on TV. they love the attention - positive or negative!

CRAP!!! BB was on last night?!? I watched America's Got Talent, and then The Singing Bee (while occasionally checking on the baseball All Star Game). I completely forgot about BB.

 

[DisneyPrncess]

Good Morning everyone...

Its wednesday- that means we are half way through this week!! It amazes me how fast the weeks go, and even how faster the weekends fly by. You wait and wait- then you dont know where they went.

Well just venting here...yesterday was HORRIBLE!! Its that TOM so of course im cranky and my body just feels no good...so all i wanted to do was lay in bed after work. Well of course i decided to throw ww out the window for the day. It wasnt TERRIBLE, but i can guarentee they werent the best decisions. (lots of white bread and some ben and jerrys!!) But maybe thats what a girl needs during this TOM., right?? Any ways, spending the evening in bed watching tv was probably the best thing ive done in a long time. Its nice to do that and not have anything to do!!

Although i did try to call WDW and change one of my ADR's...i wanna get an earlier reservation then the one i have at Coral Reef in Sept, any suggestions??? it's tough with the free dining... we have an 8pm and i dont want to miss illuminations at 9pm, so im trying to bump it to a lil earlier...

Well im off to attempt this work day... just hoping it flies by. Gotta get back on track with the WW. Doesnt help that some kind fellow employee bought in boxes of donuts and left them sitting out in the kitchen

Hope you all have a great day!!

 

[HockeyKat]

..

Love YAs!~

AP is effective from the date of activation. When you get it activated check the date and be sure BEFORE you leave Guest Services. Once you have an AP, you cannot participate in free dining unless you buy a one day ticket as part of the package. However, you get significant room-only discounts that may make it just as cost-effective in the end.

Hey everyone!

..

Awww sweetie... I am so sorry that you feel that way. Dating is definitely harder when you are "fluffier" as it takes a special guy to look past the outside and see who you really are. However, when you find that guy, you know that he is a good one!

Hi All! I haven't been over here in a while. I just wanted to pop in to say that I have been on Nutrisystem for a month and have lost 12 pounds. I hope everyone is doing great.

Great job! Welcome back! I remember you... who could forget that shiny pretty Canes logo!

I know no one remembers me....

..

I am going to try to start weighing in again. I need the accoutability.

Of course we remember you! Hop right back up on the wagon with us!!

I am drinking hot lemon water in preparation for my "wellness" appt. Is it just supposed to be lemon and water? I cut a lemon into wedges and squeezed them into about 24 oz of hot water, is that right?

 

[UtahMama]

OK, I bought lemons to make lemon water. Both warm and cold to rid myself of any extra water weight. I think I retain in the HOT heat of Utah (100 degrees for the last couple weeks).

Wonders- I agree with WIDF- You really are cute and funny! There's no way a QUALITY man wouldn't be interested in you. REALLY! Hang in there and be yourself. You are such a good catch!


OHHHH I have to cange some ADR's too. Some of mine are just too late in the evening to expect my kids to behave half decently.


Slate- Good to see you again! Yay on the 12 pounds!!!!! That's wonderful!!!!

DisneyPrincess- Welp, just climb back on the wagon! We all have those white bread/ben&jerry's days. There's still time to undo any damage by friday!!!!

 

[DisneyPrncess]

whats this idea of warm water and lemon?

never heard of it before.... does it help you lose weight?!

DETAILS!! haha

I know where you are coming from! That is exactly how I used to feel. And truth be told, if I weren't in a relationship, I might still feel that way. Who knows? And I KNOW it's silly! I know now that my perception of myself was very distorted. I see pictures of myself from when I was smaller, and I realize now that other people probably didn't see me the way I saw myself, and the way I saw myself was holding me back. That is sad! I am trying to never let that happen again. Shannon, you are a beautiful girl! There ARE guys out there who would agree, and the ones that don't are not worth your time anyway!

Hi All! I haven't been over here in a while. I just wanted to pop in to say that I have been on Nutrisystem for a month and have lost 12 pounds. I hope everyone is doing great.

And please send some pixie dust that Phoebe is a good little girl and on her best behavior. Thanks!

First of all, pixie dust for Phoebe! I bet she was a very good girl!

And I felt (and still feel) the same way about guys and my self image...and I have been married for 6yrs. I dont think it ever really goes away, but it is MY issue, not his. He could care less, and any guy worth hanging onto will feel the same. When I look back now at pics of msyelf from when I thought I was fat about 15 yrs ago, I WISH I was still that fat I have a very distorted view of what I look like, I know that.

Hi All! I haven't been over here in a while. I just wanted to pop in to say that I have been on Nutrisystem for a month and have lost 12 pounds. I hope everyone is doing great.

CRAP!!! BB was on last night?!? I watched America's Got Talent, and then The Singing Bee (while occasionally checking on the baseball All Star Game). I completely forgot about BB.

I love getting your point of view on this kind of stuff! I mean, I always secretly hoped men feel that way, but it is nice to hear they actually do!~ (or at least the good ones do!)

And, get yourself a TIVO or DVR. (got one from dish network free) I now never miss an episode of anything. With BB, it is very helpful because I can never remember what days and times that show is on! And I tivoed alot of the regular season of sitcoms and stuff I never remember to watch. Now on a rainy day I can veg out in front of my TV and watch episode after episode of 'new' shows When Amanda cooperates

It is hot as heck here again today...but at least it is sunny. So after lunch we are hitting the pool. I have been waiting and waiting for from my Dr, but I have a feeling he wont call until this afternoon....I will make myself crazy waiting in the house all day for the phone to ring. He has my cell number listed as my primary number, so I am sure I will get the call.

And mamas of 2 or more.....how much earlier did you start to show with #2?? I swear I am getting bigger already and I am making myself crazy over it thinking I couldnt be just yet! I dont want to bust out the maternity clothes so soon, or I will surely be sick of them by fall and winter The good news is the Dr's scale matched mine yesterday so not only have I not really gained just yet, which I thought I had, but it means the weight I lost since Feb was not all a of my imagination or a defunct scale either
