Disney Gives Me the Warm Fuzzies. January 2010 PreTrip Report. Update 11/6 Pg. 79

[Lady Lallie]

Yay for adding another night, LL!! That is great news!!

So sorry you're feeling the way your are about things. It's got to be a HUGE change for you and it won't happen overnight, people need to think about that. Im sure it's all about baby steps...you'll get there, you're strong!! We're here to let you vent as much as you want AND to cheer you on!!!! You go girl!

I know it won't happen overnight but I want it too. It is all baby steps, it's just hard to keep that all in mind.

Hi LL! I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble with your diet. I hope the next docotor's appointment goes well and you can get back on track. You looked great in the pictures you posted a while back.

Your itinerary looks great too - congrats on the extra day!! Have you been able to take advantage of the big Southwest sale that's been going on the last couple days? Unfortunately it doesn't cover my dates so no credit for me.

I'm hoping that tomorrow will put me back on track. Sometimes just venting helps me to get back on track.

I did check out Southwest but that is about what I bought my tickets for. To change my flight last night, I only had to pay $1.

Aww LL...

you go ahead and vent any time you need to...

I know it must be frustrating to you...and this doesn't sound like fun but any kind of lifestyle change is 2 steps forward, 1 step back but ultimately you still are making a step forward and they all add up...

I hope that you doctor's appt goes well...I think that you will feel better after that's over and done with...

As for other people's comments...well people can just say some really stupid and annoying things sometimes...sometimes they don't mean it...other times they are just well annoying...

People love to get involved in other people's diets the way they like to give pregnant women advice and feel entitled to touch their stomachs and weird stuff like that...and because you had surgery...it's not even just the diet...it's extra because they know that you've committed so much to it so they are just going to let their opinions/suggestions fly...

Just try to ignore it or say something like "Well Bless your heart for thinking of me"...and go on about your way...that way you are acknowledging they said something without having to go into how annoying or stupid it was...

or you could always say something really censor worthy but that's probably not the best thing in the end...

feel better...

Thank you! I have never been very good at ignoring people and this is really testing my patience.

I think you are right about the two steps forward, one step back. Hopefully tomorrow after my appointment I will be recharged and ready to battle again.

LL

First a to you. So sorry you are feeling down. I can only imagine the microscope you feel like you are under. And yeah, everyone means well but it really doesn't help at all. It's easy to say ignore them or don't let them get to you or tell them to butt out but you need to do what you are comfortable with. It is ok to let folks know you are handling it your way and while you know they mean well, you would appreciate it if they didn't ask you what you are having for lunch anymore.

Frankly that's rude if you ask me!

If they asked me that I'd just smile and say...

Food.

I pray that the fill goes well tomorrow and that the chains are ripped away.

I do know all too well how a well meaning person asking about a sensitive topic can make you really really want to do the exact opposite. Jeff asking me if I've gone/am going to the gym or making a snide comment about it is a sure fire way to motivate me NOT to go. For me it's a trust issue, people reinforcing your own doubts about yourself, I don't know, but I know it sure doesn't help!

I v7.0 Brilliant adding the night.

I was going to guess PTC as well but clearly that's not it. Hmmmn. I suck at this game.

It really is rude. I don't get where people think it's okay. I know I'm hyper sensitive about stuff like that but still...it's rude.

I am the EXACT same way. I just want to do the opposite of what people think I should be doing. I've been that way my entire life. It doesn't help at all, you are right.

You don't suck at this game!

LL - your itinerary looks like a lot of fun! I agree about parking at BW and going in at the International Gateway! I hate walking all the way back just to get to WS (my favorite part!).
Hang tough on the food thing - people are judgmental, but most just do care and want the best for you. It's tough! But we DISers are always here for a vent!
My guess on the picture is in the Carousel of Progress - maybe in the 50's decade??

Ding Ding Ding! You are right. Carousel of Progress!

You can see it at the very edge of the picture.

I really hate walking all over Epcot. HATE it. I think if we park over there it will really help my Epcot overload!

Thanks for being here and letting me vent!

Yes, I was just going to say COP....

I'm 2 behind right now.......

In my best horse-racing announcer voice:

"And slowly easing towards the front on the inside track is jordanyosh on Itinerary 5.0!"

OMG! That is so funny. I'm cracking up over here.

Congrats on the extra day!

Chin up LL!

Thanks on both accounts. I'm really excited about flying in late and just being ready for a full day on Wednesday.

I am sorry you are having a frustrating time! I hope things went well today.

It's always a relief to me when others get my humor -- I was making myself giggle while I typed it.

Well you do leave after me. I was whining to Jen about that today about how I couldn't be capped off at 8.0 since you had a month after me to keep making itineraries. Not that it's a competition or anything.

 

[Charleston Princess]

Oh I totally get your humor! And I really appreciate it!

I am glad it made you laugh!

Slow but steady wins the race?

 

[MaryAz]

Congrats on the extra night-very exciting!! I am sorry you are having a hard time right noe asjusting to the new diet. It has got to be hard, life changing even. Just do the best you can and know that each day is a fresh start. I hope that everything goes well tomorrow.

I tried to imagine you doing the racetrack announcer.

Yes, you did. Thank you! I love that term, slow but steady wins the race.

Thank you on the extra night. I keep telling myself that each day is a fresh start but it's really hard to keep that in my mind.

I totally imagined it too.

Oh my, that was a snort laugh.

 

[jenjolt]

I'm all about competition and winning...but seriously LL...we are not going pass 8.0 until December and then we can renegotiate a number LOL!!! I don't want to ease up on Jordan too much LOL Until then....back away from the word "tweaking" do you hear me LOL

I totally knew where that was...one of these days I'm going to win!! I hope there aren't a lot of small children on our cruise because I feel bad during Disney trivia...I love Disney trivia LOL!!!

Awww...honey you know I know exactly how you are feeling right now!!! I'm going to be thinking of you tomorrow and I'm going to send lots of pixie dust that things will go well with your port!!!! Right now you vent all you want and just wake up in the morning and resolve that tomorrow will be a better day. Weight loss is a DAY at a time and I can't wait to see our beautiful (as always) and healthier selves in January strutting ourselves around Disney!!

I too really loved using the International Gateway...it is a long walk from the front of the park to the World Showcase LOL

Why don't you like the word "tweaking"? I think it's a great word.

I'm very much looking forward to negotiating in December. It is the season of giving, you know.

I'm really hoping tomorrow goes well. *Fingers Crossed* I'm feeling a teeny bit better about it...I'm really happy that Marc is going with me.

I think because the word reminds me of tweezing...which is just a horrible and painful thing to do to one's self LOL and I think our poor itinerary just needs a break from all the tweaking we have done to it LOL!!! I know I'm a very strange person...but you'll still love me tomorrow LOL!!!!

Don't go too crazy with numbers when we start getting into the teens I'm putting my foot down LOL!!!! And I didn't say I wasn't bringing the Mary Poppins Bag just that it might not make it into the park!! Although with my layer theory of clothing in January (yes I have Disney clothing theory for January LOL) I might need the backpack LOL!!! I"m thinking of naming it Mary...LOL Wonder if I can get someone to make a DISign for her LOL!!!!!

YAY for having such a great hubby!! Tell Marc he gets two thumbs up from me this week LOL!!! Such a great guy!!!!

Tweaking is a much better word than tweezing, you goofball.

Disney Clothing Theory. I feel a future update topic has been discovered.

I will tell him!

I am a goofball!!!! LOL!! Tweaking is a much better word but I have association issues LOL!!!!!

Hmmm...for January yes I have an entire theory on what should be packed and how I should dress to optimize my comfort and the need to stay warm!! Did you know it was like 65 degrees today and I had my jacket on when I went outside for duty...I'm a pathetic Southern weather pansy...so sad!

HOLD THE PHONE....are you off all day tomorrow??? Good thing I decided to lecture or I would be very sad about this turn of events LOL!

Just don't say muscle wall to me and I'll stop saying tweaking.

You are a Southern weather pansy and you used to live in Alaska. I can't get over that fact.

Yes, I am off all day tomorrow. My appointment is smack dab in the middle of the day and plus Marc scheduled all of his appointments around mine so we are going together. Poor Marc had to get up early today, go to his last support group before his surgery, then leave that and go to a training to his work, work his regular 10 hour shift, come home and then go to our appointments. Poor guy. He's going to be exhausted by the time we get home tomorrow.

Just out of curiousity...have you ever heard me use the word muscle wall????? I'm not sure I even know what that means LOL!!!! So we definitely have a deal LOL!!! And you don't have to stop saying Tweaking it amuses me too LOL!!!!

Acclimitization....ughh it stinks...what a horrible thing to have happen to a biology teacher LOL!!!! I used to dance around in the snow at 32 degrees in shorts and sandals...okay not really that was Prince P but I wore a light coat and now I can't handle the lower 60s and don't get me started on the 40s LOL!!!! I shiver like a pansy LOL!!! SO SAD!!!

Okay now I'm depressed about tomorrow who will keep me company during my planning period???? OH well at least you and Marc are going together and that will be a good thing you can keep each other entertained between appointments!!!!!
