One of the best NSVs is the first time your pants fall down because they are too loose!

LOL Awesome!

Ha! Funny!

this am, as I "hook my thumbs" into my sweaty pants ready for the battle of peeling them off, they slid right off, NSV!!!! . yes I want my body back in onderland, but I also want a healthy body. ###onmywaytohealth##.

nice!! loving your attitude and commitment!

That's great.

Amen!

We often forget, we are who we are, because God has plans for us!

Amen Sista thanks for the reminder!!!

"Guilt......the gift that keeps on giving" Erma Bombeck

I simply don't understand the guilt piece. Don't we pay enough watching the scale go up or not move. Do we really have to feel bad about it too?

It's from our upbringing about weight, it's listening to society's idea of the perfect weight, and somehow in all that, our mind tries to fit in our lives into those molds, and it doesn't work and we know it doesn't work, but we still try. It's hard to change a lifetime of thought, but we MUST try for our own well being and sanity!.

Do where's the pics?

just uploaded a pic

I saw it to cute.

If I were analyze it, I think it means I'm not taking care of myself and don't look healthy and the burning fire is a problem that I'm choosing not to deal with. I told my husband and he said you analyze what you analyzed is your problem, lol

You are to much lol , some of the things you post and say or your Husband says to you crack me up.

Debbie3sons, I'm taking that as a compliment! I can say some strange things, and my husband will still know what I meant to say.

I drink from a water fountain at work I try to drink (2) 32 oz during my work day...but I love lots of ice too...so those bottles don't really work for ice.

Mikee57, I was thinking more along the lines of the minerals n stuff..

the one we have at work is filtered so think that takes most of them out...I use a Purr Filter at home too

1st time, my apt was at 8, was finally seen at 9ish, I had one foot out the door. Same thing this time apt at 1, it was 1:45, my hubby said go check at counter, I asked if dr. was already seeing patients and they said yes. I'm like I'm the first one that signs in, I said this is the second time this has happened, I'm not waiting ,my insurance better not be charged. I drove 5 minutes to my regular dr. who took me in, waiting 10 minutes , in a room, got my results that I was supposed to get from other dr, plus meds for a sinus infection. I will reschedule but when it's convenient for me!

Really sorry that happened and while I am not sure it is defendable, I can tell you that every surgeon I have ever been to (bariatric, orthopedic, etc.) ALWAYS run that behind. It is very frustrating. I think they book appts too close together and then have one emergency or one delay in making rounds and it all goes to hell. It is possible the other person had an emergency - though perhaps not. One time I got completely forgotten at an ob/gyn office and after an hour finally got dressed and went out the door. They said OOPS - went in the wrong room. I waited 3 hours on my orthopedic surgeon one time! THREE HOURS! Seriously? AND that was to see a PA! My last bariatric surgery appt was 1 hour and 45 minutes after my scheduled appt and I was the first appt of the day. Like you, I will probably see my endocrinologist for review of my tests and only follow up with surgeon once per year as required.

Daisee68, I agree and understand that, but all I saw was that the dr. tends to choose whatever door is closest to her at the time she comes out of her office. And there is no apology. Apparently everyone is used to the dr. doing this. I don't have the time. I consider myself very lucky I have a regular doctor that has an open door policy for regular patients.

When we were talking gifts, we decided private time, because that's "all we could handle and afford, lol"

Happy aniversery.

happy anniversary

can't imagine why...carbs are ALWAYS last...if at all...

thanks BigGirlPanties, that will go in the trash then!

I know I haven't been sleeping enough, not working out daily, letting something else take me away ,reasoning with myself that I'll do it later, and we all know later really ends up later,. so now back to Norvasc and Diovan to get bp under control again.. I pray for strength I know I can do it,, !

Yes, you CAN do it!

Tomorrow is always another day to start fresh.

working out 5-6 times a day, not really worrying about the weight but feeling good and bam, I came down with pneumonia . Now 5 weeks later I am weak as kitten. I can barely do 2,000 steps. I had so many antibiotics, cortisone. that it has wiped my body out. I'm taking vitamins, iron, B12, probiotics and actually feel better. When I don't take something I feel off, but half that stuff gives me constipation. As for exercise that's been put on hold. My body is just not bouncing back ,,, what happened??? I'm only venting because I'm sure my husband is tired of my whining, and sometimes reading about what someone else is going through changes my outlook on what's going on in my life. naptime

Hang in there and I hope you start feeling better really soon! Give your body time to heal and I'm sure you'll be back up to speed in no time.

Thanks kmorri!

LMAO OMG .

asiago.....one of my favorites, YUMMO!

and the funny thing is, the commercial flashed in my eyes as I said that... lol it was a good laugh...

for everyone...

thats right...it is about the changes in your head and the journey it takes to get where you are...Numbers are only part of it..The rest is about the changes and successes you have!

agreed butter

true

that's great

Ha! So funny. Congratulations -- great NSV!

Both my daughters say that to me all the time. "Mom really do you see yourself that big??? Mommmm you're not it's all in your head" I hear them and while no I may not be 600lbs I am very big in my mind I don't see what the scales says.

CurvyCakes, when they say its all in your head, I said exactly !!!! Even when I look in the mirror all I have to compare myself to IS the Big me... my hubby hid the scales years ago, everytime I would eat and poop I'd check the scales. And freak when I gained acouple ounces. It kind of became a joke, "ahh just go poop you'll be fine." its something we have to work on,

sweet and sour..

Try substituting stevia for the sugar and mashed cauliflower for the rice. I really enjoy it that way.

and even she said because he got better?? I wish I could sue for mental anguish.

you need a case worker from your insurance so you don't have to deal with all that

I poured water into the double thick cup and took a drink from the bottle, the water bottle tasted fine, I finally take a look at the cup, it developed a tiny crack and had started to mold,, its been tossed! I told my hubby, he says its ok its just penicillin,, (brushing my teeth every hour, lol)

LOL, .

my chin. this very handsome man was smiling at me, I smile back then stoped, thinking, he's probably smiling at somebody behind me, I look around and it was just me... Its the little things... NSV.

Woohoo! And good for you for dragging yourself out of bed to go to the gym at 5 AM!

Yay!

Good job!!!

Good for you for getting the checked first and foremost , also just link they had all that stuff and they probally couldn't get a real clear pic before , but now that you are getting more healthy , they can see more of nothing hopefully , but I applause all women and men also to get their breast checked to be safe and look at you taking more steps to be healthy , good for you.

very true Debbie3sons

Hallelujah! I was wondering how it turned out. So relieved for you!!!!!

PRAISE GOD

lol

lol

It is so ingrained in us isn't it...And we have been taught that it brings happiness....To figure out that it does not is the hardest part I think...You got this !

Ha..so true.
