[the Fidge]

Hello everybody, I am back if you'll have me. Sadly there have been many painful changes in my life, and have eaten my way through the whole process and am bigger than I began. OK new chapter in my life and a new outlook....So DS and I are headed to Georgia where I always wanted to be. Dh willl still be up here in PA till a job shakes lose down there. Pray this yankee ladies I am headed down south and pray they see me and not my accent (yes I have lived in PA for 13 years but....I am from Long Island and it sadly still sounds it). I am excited for this new chapter in our lives and know that God hasn't brought me to this without knowing I can get through this with reliance on him. I am done hiding out waiting for the snow to melt I told hubby don't ditch my bike this old girl is coming back! I will be staying at my sis's bless her heart while I get a job and a place. DS will be starting school much earlier thats why he and I are headed early. So here I am with new hope new goals and new dreams !

Fidge, so glad to see you here. Sorry to hear that life's been painful. I am a big stress eater, so I know the damage it can do. Welcome back on the wagon, and prayers for good things for you and your family.

THanks so much Danielle, I am not sure if I am free falling with style or hopefully flying to good. Thank you for the prayers, this control freak struggles wiht trusting God in this but I am doing it. The place I have had no control is in food so I have to switch that up lol!

Hi PD

 

[dwheatl]

Is Friday still our reporting day? If so, I'm down 1.1 lbs. How's that for specific?
I was home alone this week, and that made it easier to undo a couple of bad habits.
Good luck, peeps.

Yipppeeee!! Ok so tonight Dh and I went square dancing tonight we had no clue but it was great fun. I didn't touch any snacks just lots of water. I am excited and looking forward to doing more physical activites as a family too. I was paralyzed at first about being so big and not being able to move as gracefully as I would have liked to. I just kept reminding myself the whole time if I sit on my seat my seat will keep getting bigger and I will never get to where I want to be sitting there! Glad I pushed myself and paid my insecurities no mind!

Good for you, Fidge. I love playing in the water. I have a lot of friends who refuse to put on a swimsuit because they feel imperfect. I just go ahead and feel like, if anyone is offended, they can just look away. There are few people with perfect bodies, but at least we can use our bodies for what they are intended (dancing, swimming, etc).

I have not put a bathing suit on in 6 years.

Maybe one of these days.

 

[the Fidge]

Damielle I hasdn't put one on in a few years and last November I got myself a tankini suit and did not give a rats butt ! We were in Disney it was hot and there were many imperfect Moms like me. I had a blast! I will be going camping for a few days before getting to GA with DS and neice and nephew and I will bust out that suit again! Brandi I was so glad I didn't sit on the sidelines and hate great fun! I didn't regret wearing the suit I regretted not participating in the past.

Did you get anything special in bathing suit, or just a regular one?

I have not found a bathing suit that is flattering in years, I guess that is why I have not got one.

I thought about the new shorts that out there but just don't know.

Where did you get yours?

 

[dwheatl]

I got mine at Marshall's, but you really have to hunt. I take in the maximum # allowed in the dressing room, and go with what works best. I find I always buy one size bigger than what I usually wear. Good way to CYA
I even bought a bikini last year, since my thighs are the worst part of my figure, and nothing covers those, anyway. If I could take off the weight I gained since Feb., my mid-section is actually not too bad.

I am heavy all over so I a gut that I would not want to show in a two piece, but you can pull it off.

I was thinking that my chest is one of my better assets and that I might go with a tankini top and board shorts.

Lands end has them almost 70% off right now with free shipping. If i dont like them I can just return them to sears.

We've talked on FB, but again, I hope you enjoy moving to my area! It is very warm here, mild winters are very nice. There are quite a few "northerners" here so I don't think you will feel to out of place. Since you'll be with family, you may not need a lot of help finding places, but if so, I'll be right around the corner from you and I grew up in the area so I am very familiar with it. GOOD LUCK!!!

I love the water, especially right now, being almost 30 weeks pregnant. Mom and I do water aerobics twice a week (of course, I won;t be able to starting next week b/c, as a teacher, I go back to work on Monday) and I have a big ole pregnancy belly but I put on that swimsuit and go. One - it really makes the work out seem easier b/c of the bouyancy of the body in the water and two - its actually more of a work out b/c of the water resistance. Love it!

Brandi - I think Land's End is the best for bathing suits because they have a variety of styles for different body types. They are usually too pricey for me, but 70% off sounds great.
Ariel - 30 weeks? You're in the home stretch! Sending you good thoughts.

So you all have convinced me to order two bathing suits... so I will see when they get here...
