When Did I Get Voted Off of Skinny Island & Why is This Fat Shadow Stalking Me?

[tlenzendorf]

Oh my God Tricia, that's just horrible! I'd be stress eating big time for sure. Sounds like she's a big witch even when things are going her way. I can't believe that she did that to him!!!!

for you (I can't post the smiley that is for her!)

Thanks. The court part sucks cause as long as she was paying he couldn't take her to court for contempt cause it wasn't her fault they wouldn't take him off. Although in reality it was because it was not behind when they were divorced and she should have taken him off then and didn't. Now that this is happening he can take her back, but who knows what kind of crap she will start pulling now. Sigh. Deep breath.

I will overcome the food portion of this starting right now. I will not have the shake I wanted for lunch and I will have a salad. I can do this! I will not let that woman who I would love to call a different name from defeating me from being HOT!

I'm about 2 hours north of you. I could come down and help you persuade her to shape up a bit. Just sayin

On a serious note - You can beat this and you will. She's a rotten excuse for a person and she doesn't get to dictate your life. She can try, but she won't!!

I wish I had a sooner trip planned than October. And with Brent's ex that trip may not be possible either Basically she didn't take him off of a credit card they had when they were married. She let it lapse and then it got sent to collections and they would not take his name off then, even though the divorce decree said that is HER card to pay off. Now she is declaring bankruptcy and put that card in there so the creditor will more than likely come after him. FREAKING GREAT!! $3,600!! So he has to file contempt papers on her now which will be just great cause she is a royal biotch when things aren't HER way. Then more than likely he will be stuck with it and then he will have to sue her. Luckily since that will happen after bankruptcy she can't file again and will hopefully be forced to pay him back.

So what does this have to do with the WISH board? Guess what its doing to my diet!!

I am so close to being done with my class and having more time back here with you all I can almost taste it! I think the magnet challenge will kick me in the hind end to get back to dieting!

OMG That sucks!! I'm so sorry. I hope everything works out for you guys!

And I'm about an hour and a half south of Tlenzendorf in Rockford. We could have a WISH Beat-Down! I know a few people I could beat down in Wisconsin too LOL!!

I agree with what you're saying; this person does not get to dictate how you live your life. Its hard, when all you want to do is swallow those emotions, but resist!!

Personal Update/Questions:
Count me in for the magnet challenge. Sounds like fun!

Kinda TMI question for the ladies out there... (Sorry guys, I this isn't for you, and you'll know why in a minute)

For those of you who have lost weight, have you noticed a change in your breasts? I've lost 4 1/2 inches in my bust, and I'm thinking that they got more dense or fiberous, if thats even a term for it. Like some of the fatty tissue is gone and more breast tissue is there?? Here's why I'm asking... I think I might feel a lump or tissue or something. Whatever it is, its kinda big. And it may have been there before, but since I had a lot of ta-tas to work with, I may not have noticed it, kwim?? It may just be tissue thats always been there, just kinda buried! LOL Anyone have this happen to them?? Not that this has a lot to do with it, but here are some demographics: I'm just shy of my 28th birthday, have no kids, and am not pregnant.

 

[tlenzendorf]

And now my friend just found Brent's profile on a dating website!!! What the hell??? I think my life is about to fall apart. If I'm not back for awhile you all now know why. I need to go and figure things out. Thanks for the offer of the WISH beatdown ladies! I may need it for him and her both!

 

[stayhomemom77]

Wow!! I missed quite a lot of drama in the last couple of days.

Okay, love and hugs to Tricia for her situation. Keep your chin up, you can overcome the stress eating, I KNOW it!!

Dawn: I'm in for the magnet challenge and I'm sorry to hear about the complications with your dad's leg. I'll keep him in my prayers. Your trips sound fun! I hope you have a great time at Burn Camp.

Aimee: Glad to hear your sister is doing better after that little downturn. I'll keep her in my prayers a little longer though, until you tell me she's out of danger!!

Sorry, I read like five pages straight through to catch up so I forget what else was reported but for those who had a tough holiday weekend, good luck getting back on track this week!

Personal Update: We had a fun little jaunt to Toronto this week. Had a great visit with my grandmother and aunt and then we hit the zoo!!

Oy vey!! The humidity put the temp up over 100 degrees and we spent seven hours walking around in it!!! It was a nightmare because there were only two buildings that had air conditioning that we were able to find refuge in so most of the time we just sweltered away. In fact, despite all our efforts to stay hydrated, no one had to use the bathroom more than twice in all that time!! And DH and I were both SOAKED in SWEAT!! I guess hitting the zoo during a heat wave is something only idiots like us do!!

I earned myself 13 points from the walking but I was 16 over my daily totals so I ended up using a fair amount of flex points. (the ice cream was necessary, the McDonalds on the drive home...not so much). Still, that's what the flex points are for and it was nice to have a treat for once.

I'm happy to be back to normal today, eating healthy, well balanced meals in the comfort of my air conditioned home.

I have a pasta dinner to put on at my church this Saturday night so I'll be busy cooking and baking for the next 48 hours in preparation. I'm also making the centerpieces (made of candies...so cute!!) so the pics I was going to post of my new purchases will have to wait until next week.

Take care all and have a great remainder of the week!!

Ok. Panic over. The site pulled all the info from facebook. He just joined cause he was invited by somebody else and hadn't been on it. He deleted it. I didn't eat it away either

Phew. I don't have to pack the car for a beat-down tonight. I hate when facebook does stuff like that. Like you want to see what a friend is doing on a gaming site (farmville, whatever) and they want to make you join in order to see it. I can see it happening. I was thinking about you all afternoon and hoping things were going ok. Glad you didn't eat it away too!! I would have been in the nearest drive-thru!!

 

[Tricia1972]

Thank goodness that was it. I know you have to be ultra careful with Facebook to not share information on accident.

Though I'll coming through the area on my way to Chicago tomorrow...Beat downs could still be arranged.


For you not eating your way through it!!!

 

[pipersmom]

Just going to be a quickie tonight, and I'll track tomorrow. Long day today, ex was 3 hrs late meeting me with Piper, what should have been a 4 hr deal turned into 7. And the heat was horrible, the car ac couldn't keep up. Anyway, she's home now, 15-20 lbs HEAVIER *grrr*, but seems to be healthy otherwise. Hopefully we'll be able to get some of that extra off before she goes back there in 3 weeks.

Tricia- Sounds like you had a long day too! Awesome job not eating emotionally. :banana

Sara – Congratulations on getting back on track and losing 3lbs it sounds like the increased activity at the gym is really helping you.

Barb – Yeah for booking a CA trip! February is a great time to visit So. Cal. We’ve stayed at the GC but that was before the GCV were built. I’ll be interested in hearing how you like the new rooms. We love being so close to the parks and having the ability to walking back to the room for a little break in the middle of the day.

Tricia – I’m so sorry you have to deal with the Ex. I’m really amazed how some people just don’t have any problem sticking their issues on someone else’s plate. I hope that the issue gets settled quickly and you are able to make that October trip.

Amy – Regarding your question, I’ve lost some weight in the girls area, but I just noticed them sagging a bit more. Where are you in your cycle? Sometimes that might have something to do with it. I’d say make an appt and get checked out. It doesn’t matter what age you are, if you feel something have a professional check it out. I’d rather be safe than sorry. It most likely is you are just feeling more mammary glands but you can never be to careful. If you decide to get checked let us know what they say.

Amanda – Travel delays seem to be the norm today. Enjoy having Piper back home again and I’ll bet with your change of your diet you’ll be able to help Piper get some of the weight off.

Tonight was busy for me as well. Steven (my Oldest) comes home from a camp in Arizona tonight, Jim went to the airport to pick him up and his flight was delayed over an hour. I hope it didn’t freak out Steven (he was afraid to fly in the first place). Jim just called to say they were on the way home, but I won’t get a chance to talk to Steven till tomorrow.

I also had a Book Club meeting at our house. I provided the house the other ladies provided the food. No idea how to track the items so I just tried to keep the portions small.

Breakfast: raisin bran w/ff milk
Lunch: Quiznos Turkey Sandwich (no cheese) Baked Lays Chips
Snack: Orange
Dinner: Orzo salad, Shredded Pork (no sauce), white rice
Dessert: cupcake

Unfortunately I’m still hungry so I think I’ll get some grapes.

July 8, DONE

[tlenzendorf]

Thanks for the good thoughts everybody. I had a crappy day yesterday but I managed to get thru it without crappy eating. Well, I did have beers at softball last night, but those were going to have been had regardless...

 

[Dizneydawn]

Catching up with posts below. I had Duchie, Office Reg, Tricia1972, Tlenz, stitch fan and me down for the challenge based on who sent me a pm saying they were in. Then reading this - saw a few more that said they wanted to be in so I will highlight that here. If you change yourmind and want to join - no big deal - plenty of time!!!!

2 not pleasant updates on my life: Warning - both gross!!!!

#1 Dad is not better. They were supposed to have had him get a skin flap surgery and muscle graft for his knee on WEd but no viable kin was found and the plastic surgeon doc did not think the grafts would attach so he now has a wound vac on his leg that is supposed to bring good cells to the surface to fight the MRSA infection. Please pray it works because it is not looking good at all.

#2 Remember I said I got athletes foot way back in Dec from the Y? Well on and off it flares up and over the last 24 hours I have a huge blister forming between my toes. I am on my way to doc to get oral antibiotics and make sure it is not a secondary bacterial infection. Seriously ticks me off and with being around my dad - scares the hades out of me. I tried to be vifgilant about water shoes but there was a few times I forgot mine when I would clean out or switch a bag.

Anyone ever had it and any tricks I should know about to not getting it again? NEVER had it before in my life. Shocker I know given my weight!

Carsyn and I shopped for 4 hours yesterday for grad pic clothes and school clothes! Had time and there was a ahuge sale so I literally sat in the dressing room while she was beyond patient trying stuff on over and over and over. Got fabulous stuff and deals and she is smiling from ear to ear!!!! It was awesome to have a great day with her.

Dawn - I love the challenge idea. Might just what I need to get back into the groove. Doesn't matter to me if you post the partners or IM them whichever works for you.
Gotcha in for the challenge!!!

Doing well so far on tracking today and planning on hitting the Y tonight.

Do not get foot fungus!!!

(Side note: hit 45 pounds off today...WOO!)
You are doing so well!!!!!

Dawn: I think the challange sounds like a great idea!!!

Ok! Will count you in as well!

We just booked our own trip for next February, but this time we're going out to California. The last time I was out there was when I was pregnant with my oldest, and he's 14 now. I told him that no, that does NOT count as him having gone to DL. We're using our DVC points to stay at GCV. I'm pretty excited about it.

I want to go there sometime too! Maybe will have to look into that for next spring break or something!

Count me in for the magnet challenge. Sounds like fun!
Okie dokie!!!!

Here's why I'm asking... I think I might feel a lump or tissue or something. Whatever it is, its kinda big.

Get thee to a doctor and let the professionals have the say whether to worry or not. nOthing to mess around with and although it more than likely is nothing - I have a former co-worker who is loosing her sister to breast cancer at a very young age. Under 30 - no cancer at all in the family etc. Just see the doc and then - still check the size yourself all the time.

Dawn: I'm in for the magnet challenge and I'm sorry to hear about the complications with your dad's leg. I'll keep him in my prayers.

Gotcha babe and thanks for the good mojo on my Dad!

Just going to be a quickie tonight, (That's what he said! ) and I'll track tomorrow.

I know these look low but I know I did not measure what had originally gone into the mashed potatoes so I used one that spark people had so it is not accurate for mine I am sure. Then I had the turkey which had gravy mixed in and I did not consider what I had roated the turkey with originally into the stats. (It was leftovers shredded in the fridge)

I also had a single cherry as I unpacked grocery store food last night! (I was just too tired to eat and crashed after the store run but man they are looking good for breakfast today!!!)

Anyway - I also drank a lot better than I normally had yesterday as well so overall - better thean the gluttony it could have been and one or 2 days being on the low side will never kill me!!!

JULY 8th DONE!!!!

Oh yeah - Tricia - Carsyn plays Rugby and likes to hit people....just sayin....

 

[Duchie]

Whoo - Tricia, you had me scared there for a bit. Facebook is a mixed blessing. I love being able to catch up with old friends and share pictures and stuff, but all of those applications just get access to way too much info. So I just don't participate in any of them.

Today I'm off to pick up my daughter. We're meeting in the middle at a friend's house, then spending tomorrow out on the lake. There's really no way for me to pack healthy options for food, so I'll just have to manage the best way I can with small portions and hope like heck that works. It doesn't help that this is one of those weeks where I'm just flat-out hungry all the time. But I've done really well this week on staying within my points, eating smarter foods and exercising every day so that should help. I'll just be happy to get DD home, I kinda missed having her around.

Have a good weekend everyone!

[Octoberbeauty]

Sorry you guys. I thought I was going to be able to jump right back in but it's been a crazy week. Hubby has been sick and I haven't gotten to bed before 3 or 4 every night. Except for last night I made it in bed by 2. Noah has chosen this week to not sleep. Ugh! Just as I'm ready to go to bed, he's been waking up and not getting back to sleep easily. I am worn out!

But I have GOT to get back on track. I gained a few pounds on vacation and have had a really hard time getting back on WW since being home. I have to do this. I HAVE to!! I'm sick of being fat.

What is this magnet challenge? I need something to get me motivated! Sign me up please if there's someone else that wants to do it.
