banded_for_life

This was size 18s!!!!...I am such an idiot sometimes! I can wear size 16s!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Kira, a fellow bandster, gave me some of her 16s yesterday and I thought that maybe I would be able to get into them in a couple of months. So I finally had a chance this morning to try them on and I got into every single pair!!!!! I can't remember the last time I was in a 16...maybe in in 8th grade!!! Omgosh...I am so excited and pumped! Thank you and a big hug to Kira!!! I will post a picture of the two of us together a little later.

Just to be fair to the broccoli, this broccoli wasn't as well cook as I normally do it. That may be the difference is cooking the broccoli well.

Puddin...I know what you are dealing with. My sister and her family moved in with me after my ex left. It was the hardest year, 3 months, 2 days, 4 hours and 36 seconds of my life. lol...My sister is an obsessive-compulsive anal retentative neatfreak. I am not...I like to be comfortable in my surrondings. I moved out into my own apt with my daughter...we were both in heaven. Best decision I had ever made. It also saved my relationship with my sister. I would sit her down and have a heart to heart with her and if that doesn't result in any changes, then I would consider doing something else.

I second that Mandi! I get my third fill on Tuesday and start the process over as well. Sweet spot here I come!

Congratulations!!!! You go gurlie!!

Here are my two chitlins clowning in front of the tree.

What a bunch of cuties!!!

:-( Thanks everybody for the support. Of course I never once pb'ed on that darn pecan pie.

Congratulations Carrie!!!!

Lord o mercy I had the worse PB tonight...I mean I had the fist in my chest, sliming like crazy and then even throwing up a little...it lasted for about 20 mins and I thought it was never going to end!!! Gotta watch that damn broccoli.

I doubt that straining would be needed for the broccoli soup...those pieces are pretty smooth to begin with. You can do runny mashed potatoes or refried beans, pureed black bean soup, egg drop soup...i tended to stick to things that was going to get me the most protein.

Welcome to bandandia!

Welcome to bandlandia!

Live long and prosper, Jonathan! :-)

Huggs Sandy, keep in contact and I hope everything works out.

How exciting!!!! Congratulations!!!

I agree with what Alex said, the people were wrong in sending you the private email, but I would consider it an expensive lesson learned and a donation given in the spirit of the season.

I have also been to Total Sleep Diagnostics as well, they have an office here in Mesquite. Dang...I have had too many sleep studies done.

Standing ovation to all who were nominated!!!!

Mine is on the way thanks Mandy!!!

Super List Laura, keep up the great work!

I hear you Debbie, my boss brought a bunch of homemade cookies in this morning. Then another team had their Christmas party and handing out all the leftovers...I can resist!!! I have been doing so well this week...I don't want to blow it. So we are all in this together.....say no to chocolate!!! Huggs Debby.

I went to Sleep Healers, they have offices in Richardson off of Coit. They also have an office in Farmer's Branch...I think.

Good to hear Cindy.

I hope it all gets worked out in a timely manner for you. I know what an emotional roller coaster waiting for the surgery can be. I hope they get you in before the end of the year. I agree though that the truth would have been better in this situation, than total avoidence of the issue.
