  1. I've apparently hit the 'butt hurts when sitting for any amount of time" phase of weight loss. :-/

      You again!!? Okay, something special for you. Instead of sitting, lie back.

      And what is that rolling around feeling on my butt when i'm sitting?

      Welcome to hell. It sucks doesn't it! The more weight I lose, the more my butt gets bonier!

  2. Office is ordering pizza/wings today; I politely declined. Sometime it feels like an out of body experience when I hear myself decline certain things...

    1. WLSResources/ClothingExch

      Maybe it's the pizza and wings that have become outer body, not that you feel it is outer body to decline. Wings always were outer body anyway, teehee.

      I felt the same thing when I passed up cake and cupcakes yesterday at an office bday celebration.

  3. Its bitter cold out today-- I'm wearing thermals under my pants. No way would I have EVER attempted this at my highest weight...getting pants on was enough of a struggle!!!

      Great news! And you'll be dazzlingly gorgeous instead of merely gorgeous.

  5. Have been good at avoiding the sweets hanging around the office this holiday-- only for my boss's boss to give me a gift box of cookies! I just can't escape this madness!

      I would put it out to "share" and stay away :D

      'sweets' just are not appealing to me....and the very easy way to 'avoid' is to just not eat the first one.....as you know what will happen.....

       

      Like an alcoholic, '1 is too many and 100 is not enough' etc.

       

       

  6. 1st post op thanksgiving taught me that I can't tolerate my own sweet potato pie. It feels as though I swalloowed a lump of butter that rolls forcefully through my defensive system.

    1. Djmohr

      Djmohr

      Yes, I found the same thing with pumpkin. I wonder if it is the crust for me. I have had my own homemade pumpkin custard before with no problem. This was a few bites from a bakers square pumpkin pie. It was disgustingly sweet and a weird texture. Normally I make my own but just had back surgery and my hubby was insistent that I take short cuts on the bakery since I really don't eat it anyway.

    2. 2goldengirl

      2goldengirl

      Aww, that's too bad. Maybe it's just too soon. Did you try a bite without the crust?

  7. Gotta a free Bluetooth enabled scale as part of a weight loss study-- love having a new toy to keep me motivated!

  9. Decided to run a 5k on Thanksgiving. It will be my first... so far I've only run 2.5 miles, I'm taking a leap of faith that I'll be able to do the rest!

  10. I'd made a conscious decision to have a piece a cake at a work party...but they carried on so damn long with their speeches I had to leave before the cutting of the cake. I was 1/2 tempted to smash the cake as I was walking out.

      I laughed because I could see myself feeling this way.

  12. I'm wearing heels today. No its not a funeral or a wedding. Just the simple fact that they fit, and actually feel comfortable. I could get used to this!

  13. My husband bought an apple pie last Sunday. It's still around 1 week later & I haven't touched it. < my mantra> I can and will co-exist with treats others enjoy without touching them myself.

      Great news. Here's a puzzler to keep you occupied: If you 'travel' half the remaining distance each month, how long will it take you to get there?

      I'm so worried that will happen to me Elode. I ordered a fake set off of amazon to wear in the interim.

    3. SleeveandRNYchica

      SleeveandRNYchica

      My ring size has always been a 7.5. It's hard to imagine it any smaller. I know it is hard not to be able to wear your rings. I am so use to them on my finger.

      3 sizes down and now dropping off again.

  16. Treated myself to a 1/2 way to goal gift...a new purse & wallet. I will carry it until I meet goal as a reminder of how far I've come and that I need to continue to make good choices.

  19. Will I ever not feel like an impostor shopping in the non-plus size section? I keep thinking a sales clerk will redirect me to the plus sizes.

      Me too! The plus size clothes are on automatic pilot for me, but don't work anymore. I do feel like an imposter in the regular-size section!

      Went to Bealls to buy a summer dress today. I was looking at size 14 and felt self conscious that people would wonder why am I looking at dresses obviously too small for me! They FIT, bought 2.

       

  20. No part of today's outfit is "plus sized". #winning
