I've decided I'm going to make an extra effort on at least one thing per day between now and Christmas. My version of the 12 days of Christmas. So today I'm going to monitor my Fluid intake and get in at least 64 ozs. No Snacks after dinner, but I may have a cocktail or two if we go out to eat. No added sugar other than the cocktail.
And at the end of the 12 days, I'm going to Celebrate with a sparkly, new piece of clothing to wear to parties.

Yes! All day no sugar and tonight, Lipton Diet Green Tea after dinner along with an evening of candy Crush.

Hello everyone! New here and I'm 15 months out. After all this time I've learned that what I was told from the very beginning is true. A smaller stomach is only a tool. It's what we do and the choices we make that make us successful. We still have to say no to things and follow the rules. Keep fighting the fight!!!

Good for you! This is what separates us from gaining and losing/maintaining! We all know what to do, it's just harder some days than others (at least for me), and some days I do better at it than others. My weight loss has really slowed down, and just about ground to a halt. I needed to hear that - I need a little more resolve. I'm with you!

I can't have this stuff requested of me! My guttural genius presents itself in fits of inspiration.....

Oh, come on. Bust out some more talk about knickers and wankers and stuff! LOL

I'm clearly having a super 'mature' evening this evening...

But the important thing here, is do you really give a fiddlers fart? ! You're tiny and she's twisted and bitter and... has a much larger bum than you now.
Lalalalalalalala... You win, you win, you win! Yay!

Where's the flipping pics????
I demand pics!!!

So I wore these little (to me!) size 10 (size 10 bitches!!!!) slim black ankle pants with a silky tan and black polka dotted top that ties at the waist in a very flattering way and is just low enough to make the twins look UH-MAY-ZING without looking like I'm trying to hard.
Not only did my SIL not say a thing to me about my weight, but she didn't say a word directly to me AT ALL!
Hahahaha! Snoooooooort! (Ever laughed so hard you snort!ed?) Heeeeheeeheeeeee! Ahahahahaahahaaaaa! Snooooort! Heeeeeee!
She wasn't at all amused by all the selfies my teens and I took with various relatives either. Not even a little.
Snooooooort!

A couple months ago, when we were traveling home to Or from Ca, I arranged to have bfast at IHOP with a friend I hadn't seen in over 20 yrs. We went to high school together (I was always the fat friend) and she was the maid of honor at my first wedding 25 yrs ago (I was also the fat bride).
Fast forward to 2 mths ago. She weighed about 275. I'm down to about 150. Felt sooo good.
I'm evil too

My paternal grandmother (who is not even remotely skinny) always made comments when I would see her like "Heather, you've gained weight since I saw you last..." Until I told her something...then she was upset - she said she didn't realize she was doing that, apologized, and hasn't done it since. I think maybe some peopel aren't trying to be rude, like my grandmother...some are, and won't care if you say something. Either way, I'm the person who will call you out on things if you say it to me!!

My FIL often makes comments to those of us who live out of town: "You're so BIG!" etc. My husband went out for his 90th birthday and he got called fat about 400 times. It's incredibly sad. It might be the last time they see each other (sorry, we think that every time) and all S can remember is how rude his dad was. I saw him on my own last summer and despite being at my highest weight ever, he didn't say a word to me about it. Probably because he knew I would turn around and say, "Really? You want this weekend to be like that?"
I'd look forward to seeing him after I lose weight, except that I don't take him very seriously. His behaviors are crazy, and he's just as likely to say, "Oh my GOD, DON'T lose any more weight!" Can't win with some people. Or coexist peacefully.

I'll mow the yard, but I'm not gonna plow the whole field under.

SMART MAN!! Hahahaha

I told my husband he needed to do a little maintenance and he handed me the scissors. Then he used his pea sized brain and took them back.

Okay, if YOU hate panty lines, you wear what you want to wear.
I think manscaping is probably more of a "thing" now, but I know for sure that if I asked my husband to wax the twigs and berries region his reaction would be "Oh HELL no."

^^ this just made me LOL People gotta decide for themselves I suppose, no right or wrong way - hairless or not

Okay, while googling that (pass the bleach) I came across this:

I realize this makes me sound every one of my 44 years, but what exactly is the matter with having pubic hair? I'm not talking down to your knees.
It reminds me of another conversation I had with one of my friends, who was extolling wearing thongs. "People should not see your panty lines." I never understood that. What do people have against my choice to wear underpants? And why should I care if they *know* I'm wearing them? SMDH.

As a matter of fact, I do have a sparkly vajayjay!

LMFAO I vote for this ^^^ Perfect for the holidays!

Right. Like, "Oh, that poor woman. She obviously can't afford a full length shirt and has to wear her toddler's leavings."
LSL Let's just vajazzle you and call it a day.

I keep thinking Father Time is going to get my FIL. Somehow they skipped over him during the Spanish Inquisition, and he lived through the first round of bubonic plague. He's too mean and self righteous to go that easily. I think he's waiting for rapture.
That being said, yeah...just send your MIL out in front of my wife while she's driving to work. She rarely looks where she's going. She drives by sound.....just avoiding the other car's horns. Her ability to drive and text is epic.

Madame. I am definitely shopping for the "RIGHT" outfit.

Fluffy says it must not be a crop top and heels, though.

All of us guys find them cute and can't help but look every now and then. But the women we love are the ones comfortable enough in their own skin to wear flip flops and a football jersey to the game.
Ok....back to inlaws....they suck.
