In search of my body...not the one I ate!

[DisneyWorld Delight]

Goof - that was nice you are including us. I guess that would make us your posse. Your homegirls (and 1 boy). Your peeps. Your wierd, very emotional, stranger friends.


Dawn - The Plaza is an old fashioned ice cream shop. We always get a sandwich (hamburger, tuna, reuben) and then an ice cream dessert. DH is REALLY into ice cream. I can leave it, but I enjoy it at the Plaza.

Spoodles sounds good. I'll have to do some research.

We've been to Beaches & Cream a few times. DH actually got the Kitchen Sink. No, he couldn't eat it all. If it was just icecream, maybe, but it had all that other stuff. Cookies, brownies, cool whip...

Edit you say. I am going to edit this post.

Now at the bottom of this post you see I edited it.

Okay I see it...and I get your sarcasm and raise you a giggle!!!


Okay...everyone needs to see this Wish thread labeled Wish Photo Album...and look at the page 6 photo of a brave woman who lost and it is amazing...

3 DisKids just saw this too! What do you guys think of posting a front, back and side pic of ourselves??? I think it would be very inspiring and it could help us see the results we do not see visually in the mirror.

I am saying I am willing to do this...it is for my own good and will update monthly the pics... I do not want to turn you guys on..so I thought I would ask what you all feel!

Ok, first you want our personal information and now you want up close person pictures of my person! Geesh Dawn.

I know that some people get confused on who is who and I do think it would help me a lot...you are just afraid of seeing my Goddessness that you can't control ellicit thoughts!!

For Kitchen Sink trial....you could rent the surry bikes and go around the Boarwalk and get rid of some of your meal afterwards!! Just be careful or you can run into the lagoon and top your evening off with a swim!!

Master of All. That one really cracked me up.

Dawn- You hit a homerun for me. Out of the ballpark. I was right with you on the perfectionist/apologies/Oprah.
Arnold was doing something republican? It may have been an endorsement. I met him about 20 years ago. He spoke to P.E. students and teachers when he represented The Presidents Council on Fitness. The day of his speaking engagement was his wedding anniversary. He was leaving after he spoke with us and talked of his anniversary plans .Arnold was wearing purple socks . Oh well I remember having pink reeboks, talk about bad shoes for aerobics. I met him and spoke briefly, the funny thing was that he looked tiny in comparison to his bodyguard. The majority of us had all our attention on his bodyguard. He was fit!
I read post pics and thought WTH. Then I went to the thread and it was so inspirational. I need help when it comes to posting pics. I'll get back with everyone after lunch.

Heading home to shower before my final cake decorating class. I'll see you all on the flip side.

THE GIANTS WON THE SUPERBOWL!!!!!!

Yeah, I know. I've been in mourning...

And if that's not bad enough - the scale has revolted as well! I've managed to gain 2 pounds and worse HOLD ON TO IT! Completely the wrong direction!

So - I'm scheming up a way to trick myself into making better (and LESS) food choices... Gotta pick up kids, get haircuts, dentist - busy afternoon...It will give me time to work out my plan though...

 

[goofyfan-12]

You have my condolences on the loss... It is not easy to watch your team lose (I'm a Giants fan remember, so I know...)

Um.... Wow... that was pretty impressive....

I know they took photos at Jenny Craig for my before. I haven't had updates taken yet, but I'll ask when that happens. In the meantime, I will look for some before photos and current photos to see what I can come up with. They maynot be as revealing as the ones in the post, but there should be some transformation going on by now...

Talk to you later,
Goof

I am really motivated to get those pics done...I say that now...but it is also before I see myself. I said on the biggest loser a defining moment for me was seeing my sideways profile in a mirror while sitting on a bed. I wondered which little person I had eaten and would they please.."Get out of my Belly!!!!!" (In my head this was done with a brilliant Scottish accent like Fat Bast@rd)

I am having a good food day and need to keep it up...a lot of personal struggle right now with finances....but will get better! PLEASE!!

I will be able to get stuff out to winners tomorrow. Gave MamaBear Jo her's today....it will help you having something handy to snack on!!!

I still need LarryGirl's address please!!

We are missing HockeyKat....I am really worried...I will pm her for us... Debbie...she may be in the hooskau in Canada...anyone have a file???

Anyone else missing....Believen....Hmmmmm....

 

[MaMabearJo]

Ok Dawn, I will pose for a pic.. I think we should do are measurements with the Pic... This way we can see and be amazed at how much we lost. .

 

[Dizneydawn]

Me in Spring of 2006 - I do not have any other pics handy...need to get some uploaded

Shall we have the male peeper at the pool take the pics???

 

[3DisneyKids]

OMG Dawn, are you tryin to give me a heart attack?!? I can't even manage to get on the scale and now you want me to post a half-neked picture of myself on the internet for whole world to see?? You've finally lost your mind, girlfriend!

Seriously, I *might* be able to force myself into it. Seriously though, I did not take a before pic and I am definitely smaller cheer2: ) now than I was...noticably so! But I do have a pic from our Disney trip that shows me at my true "before" size. However, it is not a half-neked picture like the one of the brave soul in the Wish Family Photo Album.

Ok..let me try to catch up with all of the posting of the day now that I am home!

 

[SeptemberGirl]

I have some really awful pictures a friend of mine took - from the side and behind! How's that?

Okay, going to bed now. Still sick! Will post my weight tomorrow.

 

[3DisneyKids]

I am so glad you posted the picture....you and your kids look beautiful...if I needed to have children lying on me to look thinner...I'd be adopting a village in Sudan!


Thanks so much! I, of course, think they should all be on the cover of magazines and starring in their on tv show...

Now that we have been talking about posting pics I have been looking through all of my photos...and in the few that I am in...sure enough, I pulled a kid in front of me each time...also saying "get in [front of] my belly" just like Fat B@stard!

Proud of you my Lil' Chicken poopster!!!





I keep thinking this sounds sane...

I KNOW...I keep thinking to myself each day..."Holy cr@p! I am running! Am I nuts???"

I am sorry if this has just .......there I go again....honest to gosh...that is my mantra...appologize to everyone and for everything....I was just going to say I am sorry if this bored you and has just been a waste of your life by reading my Oprah segment........but now I will just say if you didn't like it you can stick it...
okay I was kidding about that one!!!!

Do not EVER think that you (or anyone else on this thread) bores me! I love each and every post...the funny ones, the emotional ones, the silly ones, the ones where people just post their food...all of it!

I agree with you and I am a leading culprit...the days I do not post much are the days I feel again like I failed you guys...food intake...lack of excersize etc....so I abandon you all rather than dissapoint you all....again...

You do not disappoint! Post when you can...we will be here!

I really care for each of you on here and I talk with you all more than my family members on most weeks...Thank you for being a family.

Big huge DITTO!

Now about my trip. Way back in when this thread started I mentioned we were going to Orlando for the International Builders Show in February. The Food Network show Mission Impossible was going to tape and I had the opportunity to buy tickets. Remember? Is any of this coming back?


Ooops....yes....now I remember....

We are staying at the Grand Floridian. This is alot of stress to me. We really can't affort to stay here any old day of the week. But we got a better price thru HBA then we ever could on our own. Our goal is to "stay" at every Disney Resort. We don't have the kids and we are only there for 5 days instead of 10, so it all makes sense, but I know we should be booked at POFQ.


No, don't sell yourself short. Enjoy the GF and live it up! You deserve to stay there!

yes. I can mail a Post Card. PM your address.

Me too, Me too!

Look at all that blond hair!! You and your children are gorgous! Thanks for sharing.



YOU ROCK!!!! I start week 4D1 of the C25k today and I am somewhat skeptical about how I will do. I am also having knee pain.. I really hope it is nothing. I am going to run tonight even if I have to just repeat week 3.

Thanks so much! I am partial to them as well! I will post more pics shortly. Keep going with C25k....if I can do it, anyone can...truly!

I have some really awful pictures a friend of mine took - from the side and behind! How's that?

Okay, going to bed now. Still sick! Will post my weight tomorrow.

Get better! Just rest and take time for you...we'll still be here when you feel up to it!

 

[3DisneyKids]

Ok, now for the stuff that I didn't get in the last mega-post...

Dawn...no, I will not give you credit for Mickeygasms! As I clearly used the term mouthgasms (when discussing chocolate) several pages back!

Goof--I LOVE the idea of sending the hometown post cards! Genius, I tell ya, pure genius!

Delight & Munkey--I will PM you both my address for magical post cards! Loving these ideas!

chbc--Way to go on the loss! You keep going!

Kat--come out, come out, wherever you are!

ALL--As others have said far better than I am about to (it is too late for me to be eloquent...)...this group has come to mean so very much to me! I can't describe it really...but I just need to be here...to read, to post, to laugh my now-shrinking as s off, to cry...all of it. I am so unbelievably grateful for this thread and this little community we have formed.

I have tried dieting a million times (as we all have, I'm sure). I have done many of the things I am doing now...eating plan, exercising, yadda yadda, but I have never been this motivated. And the difference this time around is this group! All of you! All of US.

I check this thread first thing in the morning, last thing at night, and several times in between (don't forget that I work online from home, so I am basically back and forth on and off the computer all day....). As others have said, I get sad when it is slow and overjoyed when it is busy busy! I know that I post often, but that is because I am (1) online often; and (2) it keeps me honest. If I am posting here, it means I am not cheating...I am resisting temptation.

So this is a very long-winded way of saying something very simple. Thank you.
