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

[MunkyMe13]

Thank you Kat...I am sitting here crying because I was so worried that people would think I was a horrible person for not waiting until the divorce was officially over...but the truth is...I have been seperated for 14 months and have not looked back in any loving way...I have struggled so hard to hold it all together...
He threw a plastic hanger in front of Carsyn and Baylor at me Wednesday night...if it would have hit me...the velocity would have been enough to open up my head...and I kept thinking...why am I being respectful to him? Why am I hoping it connects so I have a justifiable reason to get him out and not me be looked at as an insensitive bi@ch.

All I want is for him to have a good, safe place for our kids to be with him...and him to get counseling...and he and I to be happy...seperate.

This will happen by the end of April...and I hope he will truly become a better person.

The dillema is that God brought into my life a man who is the kindest, most gentle soul I could ever be blessed to know. He has helped me realize my worth as a human being and truly...for the first time...know what it means to be loved and cared about...and I think God knew what he was doing...he was giving me the push to believe in a better place..a confirmation I was ready to make a good and healthy decesion for my life.

God had us dancing within arms reach for 18 years...He was just waiting to introduce us for the right song. It played and within seconds...I knew every word.

I wasnt sure this would be received well.

Grats to both of you for finding each other. I know I haven't been around as long as some of the other people but I can't help but think that everyone here would be supportive as long as you both are happy and given your situation at home Dawn this is definitely something that is very very very good for you *hugs you to both*

I am so not strong. Like you said, tough exterior. I wish I was strong enough to deal with my situation with the grace and love that you have shown in yours.

Are you a cancer??? Sounds a bit like one... lol *hug*

Where is everyone? Exercising? Sleeping in?

Oh, no! I'm a thread killer! *hides head in shame*

Nah... I just finally slept in...

 

[HockeyKat]

No, no thread-killer!! That is one of the things I love best about this thread, y'all are as chatty as me!

Erika, I completely and totally understand the mad dash to the bathroom. I get stuck on these conf calls where I really do think I am going to explode or leak by the end. And congrats on the pulling down jeans w/ no unbuttoning! That could come in handy.

I slept until 12:30 today and feel pretty good. Now I have to go work for a bit, boo. No rest for the wicked.

I think I might do a bit of pampering later though... already painted my toenails and did a mini-pedicure (well, as much as I ever do). It is hair-dye time so if I have that laying around I will wash the gray out of my hair... I also think I will do this face peel crap I have and maybe take a bath complete with de-hairing. Now THAT was TMI!!

Yes...I bow to the Peeps Patrol this week..you guys rocked...21 people are registered...2 did not post their weight...1 was on the off week w/ our team..so out of 18 able to be counted...only 1 gained and 1 stayed the same!!! That is great!

Body Boarders...we only had 14 Members registered...2 registered this week so did not post weights yet for the challenge...1 was on the Peeps team this week...so we only had 11 able to be counted...of that 11, 9 lost and 2 gained.

One thing I wanted to clarify...I noticed some are having even numbers each time they post...so can we get a count of who is using digital scales and who is using the standard dial scale. We might change the way we use the numbers if more are using one versus the other to be fair to everyone...so please pm me quick and just say digital or traditional. THANKS!!!

We did very well and I am proud...but we need more people as part of this thread to help carry each other when we have a bad week. SO GO RECRUIT ON EVERY POST YOU FIND!!!

I am not kidding...this means magnets people...we cannot lose to the Peeps..they are ooey, gooey, fluffy for Gosh Sakes!!!

So we are down but we will be not be out-lost next week!

Here is the deal...if we beat them next week...Myself and Grumpy will post side, front and back pics in shorts and tight t-shirt to show where we are now and have a progression chart...(Shhh...he does not know this yet but he will if we win...I have my ways of making him cooperate!! )

Grumps will post soon our own thread tally of how we did...Have a great weekend guys...love ourselves enough not to open our trapper keepers!!!

[AKASnowWhite]

I am NOT paying Dawn $5 instead I was hoping to barter
Dawn -- I never thought,
that one day you'd become a part of my life
still you were always with me
when I lay my head down at night.
Could you really be here with me.
Has my wish come true tonight?

Though I feel like I'm flying.
I'm sure my feet are still on the ground.
Open my eyes, and it's amazing
how my world has changed when I look around,
and it's like I found a road straight to heaven.
The road has lead me right here to you.

Now it seems,
I'm wide awake in this dream.
I'll do, I'll do anything
to stay here forever.
If this is a dream,
I'm not going to wake up.
If I'm awake I won't close my eyes ever again.

Everything I'll ever need,
is standing right here in front of me.
You've given me more than I'll ever ask for.
Now all I can do,
is give forever to you.

I will love you forever and a day!

<swoon>

I love my DH dearly - been married nearly 20 years...but his idea of "romantic" is making an appointment for me to get the oil changed in my car...

Recovering? Do tell! I read your trip report (or part of it anyhow) and just assumed... not that such things matter to me, just a curious Kat!

Also, how much are you down in total now? 188 makes me think you are probably way over 100 down? I can't remember.

Dawn, funny you should say that about computer elbow... I finally broke down today and set my laptop up at home w/ a monitor, keyboard, and mouse to make things easier. Laptop typing gets old!

kat - I'm at 125/130 lost right now and in a size 14. I broke up with Tammy at the beginning of December and have been dating guys since the end of December. I've been seeing one guy since the second week in January.
It's not as serious as I'd like, but I'm trying to just roll with it.

to all the boarder babes (and guy) - I had gastric bypass in February of 2007 (starting weight 319 and size 30). As a result, I can't eat a lot of carbs.
My friends laugh at me because the guy I'm seeing is a bread delivery man for Bunny bread (that's what I said!) - so they all tell me it won't work because I can't have carbs.

Congrats on the size 14!! I am at about 180 now and a size 14 too, so we must be close to the same height (5'8"). 130 lbs is such an accomplishment!!

Sorry about Tammy (or congrats, whichever works!).

about the bread man!!

I hope you find happiness...I guess you never saw my posted pictures to hope I was a lesbian...

Grumps and I actually just talked this morning about people who stay married to people who change genders...I said I would stay with him if he was a woman because of who he is on the inside...
he said he would be hot with huge tatas....at 6'6...he would be a hulking woooman....
not a pretty vision... .
...but he does have the most beautiful eyes and lashes...I am just dying to have him wear a little eyeliner and mascara...Captain Dan Marrow at your service???!!!

Can you post your link to your trip report...I would love to read it....

 

[ChevyNat]

Hello everyone... I was invited to join you guys... so how does this work?... My name is Nathalie, I'm trying to lose weight, so far, since Jan 10th I lost 8 -10 lbs... I'm yoyoing up and down... This week I started to exercice some more... I did about 15 min Tae Bo and 15 min of walking, and 20 min of weights... not much, but it's a start...
I weight in between 254 - 250, depending on my yoyoing week ha!
I just want to feel good about myself, regain confidence etc... I am 39, going to be 40 in Sept.
My husband of 13 years (21 years together) decided to leave me and the kids this past summer... something to do with sex!!! I was on holidays for a week visiting my sister and when I came back home, he was at the door and told me that he was leaving, no explanation... of course there's an other woman, I could understand if she was younger, smaller, prettier... but she is not... just a real bad reputation of being easy... so off he went!
I found myself a job well actually I'm working 2 jobs... I have custody of the kids, and my goal is to make sure that my kids are well taking care off and secure... so in May I am going to Disney to get some energy and fun back in my life...
And that's it for me... well not it... so much Drama in my life right now and not caused by me... but my ex and his family ha! ha!

Ok now to the serious side of our regularly scheduled thread. I am sorry about Tammy. Hopefully it was a decent break up. As far as the new guy...is he what you want?(maybe too personal. Don't answer if you don't want to).

As far as Gastric. I say you rock. I was gastric as of Friday 13, 2002. AS of the morning of the surgery I weighed in at 586 #s. Today I weigh 350. My lowest was about 290. So yes I put some of back on. I was as of November 2006 at 391 so I am trying. I don't ever want to be there (586 again). I will post pictures soon I promise. Coincidently the date of my surgery besides being Friday the 13th was also the 3rd anniversary of my father's death. That's right ladies....that was counseling session 200 through 357. Got my moneys worth on that set of life experiences.

However I am extremely happy now and have the love of my life.

Amber-- remain confident. Being the great person you are, the love of your life, THE ONE will find you. Have faith and remain strong and true to yourself hun.
