    When you are at the mall with your daughter and you see a small lady coming at you and you think, "what does this skinny b!tch want" and then realize you are walking towards a mirror. hahahaha (not that I think all thin women are you know b!tches but she was coming at me fast and I thought I was gonna have to dodge a perfume spritz or something. lol

    Hi and congratulations! I bet you find out the sleeve is nothing like that dang band! at least it wasn't for me. I had the band for 10 yrs and the most i lost was 40 lbs. It finally broke completely and I had the sleeve instead. Best decision ever! I've now lost 106 lbs and about 20 lbs from my goal. Good luck with it!!

    XXShelXX got a reaction from Healthy_life2 in I'm totally addicted to....   
    I wonder if anyone else gets started on one thing and just can't get enough of it? I must confess I am so completely addicted to Edamame with sea salt. (immature soybeans) For now that is my vice. I love them! I figure that it could be worse right. I could be addicted to Cookies or chips. I post this here for others who may want to join me in this craze when you want a snack and you are tired of the usual ones. Why Edamame? well let me tell you...
    For one serving of the PictSweet Deluxe Sides you get...
    1. 110 calories
    2. 7 net carbs
    3. 4 g Fiber
    4. 9 g Protein
    5. 3.5 g fat
    6. Cost about a dollar a carton.
    7. They are very portable
    8. They steam in the carton in about 2 mins
    9. You get the feel of snacking (like popcorn or chips only healthier)
    10. Great mild flavor...a lil salt, kinda nutty...mmmm
    Each bean has about two or three seeds in the pod. That's what you want to eat, not the pod. So they are kinda fun to eat while watching tv at night. You can find them in the freezer section with the other veggies. If you can't have soy, these are not for you. Also, if you have a thyroid issue, they say soy is not a good choice. But for me, these lil guys are awesome!

    I'm with you on this. I eat edamame for dinner at least 5 nights a week. I get them at costco in a 12 serving package for around $9. I never really get sick of them, because you can flavor them so many different ways. Sometimes I just do the sea salt. Sometimes I put Old Bay, Siracha, Italian dressing, roasted garlic, balsamic vinegar, or any combination of these. I even dip them in blue cheese dressing on occasion. It just depends on my mood that night. I also love the fact that they force you to eat slow without really thinking about it. It would actually be harder to eat them fast. Definitely a great addiction!

    XXShelXX got a reaction from Luvin_Life125 in What are your favorite Quest Nutrition products?   
    I have eaten a Quest bar everyday since surgery! I'm in love with these bars. I like the chewy texture and they make me feel like i'm cheating. lol By far my favorite is the vanilla Almond. The banana nut one is awesome warmed up for like 8 seconds in the microwave. The Cookies and cream is pretty good. The smore's is soooooo sweet that I really don't care that much for them and i'm a sweet eater bah leeve me! I like the Peanut Butter and jelly one too! even though it sounds kinda weird. You are just gonna have to try em out and see what you like. I haven't tried any of their other products yet.

    You know it's really strange because I just can't see it. I remember saying to myself when I was a size 22 that If I just got down to a 14 then I would be alot happier. Then 14 was here and nope still so fat for someone 5:1"! So then ok maybe I will be happy at a size 10 then. Well 10 finally came and wow! what a pig I am! People really started noticing how much weight i had lost and I was getting compliments all the time. Then I met with size 8. I remember trying them on and saying there is no way on the planet that these are going to fit, but they did. So I look at the jeans and they looked tiny!!!! then I look at me and I look huge! how can this body fit in those pants????? I see fat everywhere. I mean everywhere. I asked my friend if it's possible that a size 8 now days is really about a 14 and they just changed the tags so women feel better. I was a size 7 in junior high and I know I was smaller then. So now i'm in a size 6 and they are starting to get big too. I told my friend I would like to lose 30 more lbs to get where I want to be and she flat out told me, "you have fat head". Umm yeah, and fat butt, and fat thighs, and fat hanging off my arms and neck and and.... she said, "no, you just see yourself as fat when you really aren't anymore". This is crazy. I don't think i'm going to be happy until i'm maybe a size 2 now. Is that not the most insane thing you have ever heard. A 2!! but as much fat as i still have, i think that's what it's going to take. So freakin insane. But seriously, are they making clothes bigger now and putting smaller tags on them? for real.... are they? This is not a size 8 from twenty years ago. No way.
