just got home and now I am even more bummed. John had the whole day off to himself and not one thing done inside the house....ugh.

I can certainly understand how frustrated you might be feeling, but I encourage you to be kind to yourself too.

Think about how many people care about you, hold you in esteem and value you. Do you think they're all wrong?

Positive self-talk is extremely important. It helps motivate us.

I always tell members to think about doing a task, or meeting a past life challenge ... did it happen because someone was standing there saying to you "Come on! I know you can fail! Reach deep down inside and get in touch with the failure that you truly are!"

No, I think we respond much better to positive encouragement.

I don't think that any of us would dare to talk to other people, the way we allow that inner voice to talk to ourselves.

The great thing about time is that with the movement of the second hand, every moment we get a new moment and a new opportunity to change.

Very well stated Ian! I agree completely and tell my patients things similar every day.

V, I think you need to fly out to Seattle and have a girls' weekend away! That solves all problems Sorry today is such a down day for you, means tomorrow will be better!!!!!

well I am bummed...I went shopping on my lunch and I am just plain fat. You guys will have to suffer seeing me stuffed into a bikini as that is all I have and I refuse to spend any more money on a swimsuit. I ended up not getting anything. I had to restrain myself from going to the kids dept and blowing my gift card.

We'll have none of that on this trip, young lady! We are going to enjoy ourselves just as we are! No judging (of self or others) allowed!

I know people say its overrated but John really wants to eat at Blue Bayou.

It's a lot of fun to eat there and the food isn't bad. It's just typically over-priced, but the atmosphere is great!

Oh V, I'm right there with you! I know I need another swimsuit for the cruise, but the thought of having to shop for one and knowing what I weight... blargh!

The last few years I've just been buying the $19.99 Speedos at Costco. Do I have a Speedo body? Of course not! But it's just to cover me when I'm in the water. I decided not to waste anymore time, emotional energy or excessive $$$$ on the bathing suit shopping thing. I'm really not going to look all that much different in a $100 bathing suit than in the Costco one.

That's my story and I'm stickin' to it!

Those are great. I love them all. I could do a door sign for every day, but I think my DH will think I'm nuts. We'll see how much I have time to get done. DS has already completed a door sign for the Narnia premiere. I'll see if I can figure out a way to post tonight.

Over-achievers!!!!

We will work it out. I know why the Belle for breakfast, wanted to have a mickey pancake on the terrace, in the place that Walt walked, it will be my moment.
Pj

I love it!

who was it that got refunded from Frointer? I called to cancel and they are telling me the can't cancel until 30 days out? Any thoughts?

I also got refunded from Frontier. They let me cancel because my flight times had changed so much from when I originally bought my ticket. I got my refund in around a week, I think.

These VERY WISE words of wisdom were brought to you by the same party that wants to put a door sign up that says "ABANDON ALL HOPE YE WHO ENTER HERE "

Ian, maybe you ought to redo that sign to "HOPE FOR ALL YE WHO ENTER HERE!!"

Doug

PS - Probably a good idea to keep the "DON'T FEED THE MONKEYS" sign though..

Hello! Back from a busy five days (easter, family visits, etc.) and I've given up all hope of catching up...shoot, this thread is half done and I'm not even sure I posted on this one!!! HAHA. It really stinks when life gets in the way of DISing! I'm happy to report I am now in week 3 of my fitness boot camp and while it's kicking my rump, I must say I really like it! My clothes are fitting better...life is good!

 

[lillygator]

hmm, I wonder why Frontier has been giving me the runaround? I could book on Contintental for over $300 cheaper and the flight time is around the same as what Frontier changed to.


Ian - thanks for the wise words. I have posted before, I am a Lifetime WW member so I know I can do it, I just can't get motivated. In my mind, I am a hot looking chica - trouble is those dressing room mirrors! I was always thin especially in college...I started gaining weight when John proposed! Stress makes me eat. In a way I guess I have been stressed for this trip with the planning the finances etc....it doesn't help that my dad is an ironman and lives for fitness and healthy eating. I need to pull myself out of the funk and concentrate on me!

 

[granmaz]

Goodnight all.

I learned something from all my years as a road warrior, when it comes to airlines like this. If someone turns you down on a request, hang up and call back to the 800 number again. You'll get someone else and the odds are very good that the new Rep you talk to will be able to help you. Repeat as necessary.

(We always referred to this as the call center lottery!)

The Category 4 is still available. I wonder if anyone ever books it and what happens to them!

Maybe it's haunted?????

You are not fat....the swimsuit industry is outrageously out of touch with reality -- after all we do not look like the cover of Sports Illustrated...never have, never will....

 

[gydell]

Sure they have a cat 5 available, but I'm still stuck in a cat 5 lifeboat!!!!

That's a gty one too!

 

[chip&dale&fun]

You get magnetic paper at any office store or WalMart and just print it from the computer.

Another way to make a door sign.

I print on regular paper and slide it into a screen - plastic cover for documents - and put the magnet on the back of the plastic cover.

Make sense?

 

[chip&dale&fun]

Many have booked that cat 4 only to disapear never to be heard from again, Cause its haunted.

No way - I just posted the same thing - (insert scary music)....

 

[chip&dale&fun]

Is it an old injury Nan?

or insert scary smilies....works just as well.

Uh Oh, that is what I booked

No tickets - but I have been stopped once. It was quite the experience.

Driving home from work I was sitting at a red light - first car. The light turned and next thing I know a cop car has pulled out from behind other cars and drove over a median strip with lights flashing I pulled over figuring he'd keep right on going past me. Nope - he pulls over behind, opens his door and aims a gun at my car and starts yelling for me to put my hands out the window. My best friend was in the car behind me - she pulled into a parking lot and called her father from a payphone (he happened at the time to be chief of police in the town I lived in ).

Several more police cars pull up and surround my car while the first cop comes and opens the door for me to get out. By now the police are calming down - turns out there was a purse snatching about an hour earlier committed by a guy in older camaro in good condition. I actually stated laughing when they got to that part of the description. My camaro was a 73 (this was 87) with one fender in a different color, gouges down the passenger side and no grill - hardly good condition.

They apologized and let me go, we laugh about it now but it was a pretty scary few minutes.

I would have been scared out of my wits!!

DCL needs to quit selling more rooms until they figure out where all of us are going!

 

[gydell]

Tammy - Package went in the mail Monday!

 

[MrsMork]

Yikes, I haven't heard that Angie...but I wouldn't be surprised, better go check the weather now. We live around 1000 feet so that would mean snow for us!

Our house is 600 feet, the bottom of our pasture is 500, the snow line lots of times.
