How Are You Going To Meet Your Maker ?
While sunbathing in your yard, a commercial airliner accidentally unloads its waste tank. You are impaled by several spears of frozen urine which fall from 30,000 feet above you.

Really stupid things people have shared with you
coffee cake is really yummy. It's good with milk or tea, not just coffee. It's very sweet and crumbly, and oh so good. Yum!!! :confused:

Your opinions needed: Deciding on a Goal Weight (or Range)
I set my goal based on what I thought I could accomplish without obsessing about every bite of food I take. I know I could weigh 130 and look awesome, but I gave myself a little room and decided on a goal of 150. If I'm 150 and still keep on losing then good for me, but I'd hate to choose a small goal and then be dissapointed if I can't make it. I'm 276.5 as of this morning, so I've still got a long way to go, no band to help me along. Wow I just realized I only need to lose 126lbs. I dont know why but I was convinced it was a lot more.

Good luck Rett :confused: I gave up pop and I'm not even getting banded. I just did it because I realized that I consume about 600cal a day from pop alone. I've lost 8 pounds in 3 weeks just from letting go of my coke addiction. You can do it!!! And yes, he LOVES YOU! :party:

Being fat and finding love
I tried eharmony twice. The first time I met someone I liked and it turned into a relationship that didn't work, the second time I wasn't even lucky enough to meet anyone nice. I do like eharmony though, but the price is kinda high for my budget. I guess I'll just have to wait for prince charming to come and sweep me off my feet Thanks for all the responses ladies!

Being fat and finding love
Barbara, I SO agree with the comment 'Don't put life on hold until you are thin'. That is exactly why I want to find love now. My whole life is in order except for that part. I have a child, a job, have my finances in order, I work how I want, I have good friends, I have a home and car and I'm pretty happy. I just really want to have a man to cuddle with in the evenings, to make love to at night... to wake up with the next day. I really feel like something is missing. I'm still young and I know I have time, but I'm so tired of dating. I wasted so much time and meotions on the wrong men in the past, I'm just tired of getting my hopes up.

Being fat and finding love
I totally agree that I need to love myself and be ready for a meaningful relationship before I go looking for it. I haven't been forcing it at all. In fact, I was the one to leave most of my ex's because they were not a right match for me. I believe I am very ready, I've been ready. My life is in order, my self esteem needs a little work but most women I know have some kind of esteem problems. My expectations are not low, they aren't ridiculusly high either. I want someone who is caring, loving, accepting, and good father figure. I dont want abuse or obnoxious, I don't want a jerk, and I don't want just sex. I've never put up with abuse and don't think I attract it. I don't think I attract anyone in specific, every man I dated is so different in their faults. One didn't like my weight, another didnt want to 'take on' a mom with a kid. One was interested in having bedroom fun only but wouldnt so much as take me to the movies etc. Other than those specific faults, they were really great boyfriends. I think I just have bad luck.

Being fat and finding love
It's almost impossible for me. I've been ready to settle down ever since I had my son 7 years ago, and this whole time I was looking for true love. I never found the right man though. The first guy I thought I loved knocked me up and left. The second guy had another girlfriend. The third I was with for a while and finally found out he wouldn't marry me because I was too fat and he was a bit ashamed of it. The next I actually got along with perfect but not only did he have problems with his penis, he felt he'd have to support me and my son, which was too much. The last guy I dated wanted just sex. I've met a few people from the internet and all of them were weird. How can I find a normal nice man at my size? Seems like anyone I'm interested in would rather date a skinny woman. I have no problem with skinny women, I hope to be one someday, but this is so hard. Where did you meet your significan other? How did you approach love and marriage? Did you go looking for it or did it find you? I'm so lonely... :cry

The newest addition to my family :)
Her name is Chacee but some members of the family don't like it so it might still change. Her breed is a cockapoo which is a mix between a poodle and a cocker spaniel.

Do you tan?
I wouldn't tan if someone paid me to do it lol. I apply sunscreen every day even in the winter, even if I stay indoors all day long. Hopefully I'll never have to fance skin cancer, or wrinkles. I'm still pretty young but I have really good young looking skin and I'm hoping that will never change. Tanning is a really bad idea but I too enjoy a nice glow from time to time. I get mine from a bottle. It's so much safer. Every time I hear from someone who suffered from cancer they always say 'It wasnt worth it'. Good luck to you whatever you decide. Mags

OT HELP How do you get pee smell out of carpet???
Enzyme remover is a life saver. Keep it for accidents in bed too. The arm in hammer someone mentioned above is acutally baking soda. Get that, or washing soda and sprinkle on top, vacuum out and sprinkle again. SHould help but enzyme remover will definately do the job.

Excessive PB-ing on purpose
Joyce, I can't tell you how common it is, but it must be so hard for you right now. Please try as hard as you can to stop, think how horrible it would be to lose your band :hat: Be strong and don't let bad habits keep you from being healthy!

What are you afraid of?
I'm afraid that I will never be able to lose weight. I am afraid that I will become fatter. I am afraid of cancer. I am afraid of being in a terrible car accident. I am afraid of dying before my son is on his own, because if I died, he'd have no parents and have to be raised by my crazy family. I am afraid that I will never get married. I am afraid that I will never be completely independant. I am afraid of spiders or flying insects. I am afraid that I'm not a good enough person and God wont accept me when I die. I am afraid of being disliked for my weight. I am afraid of being naked with a man. I am afraid that I'll never get my band and will lose hope forever. I'm afraid that one day I'll give up trying.

Ban Food Ads?
Lets ban food ads. Then ban video game ads too, and while you're at it, ban anything and everything that will negatively affect whoever might be watching. We'll be left watching barney and sesame street, because everything else is always going to offend someone. And then they are going to cancel barney too, because there are three times more white kids on the show than there is black. While I personally think that people can be influenced by advertisement, lets not forget that our economy depends on all the media and the billions of dollars they stimulate through advertisement. America is one of the best countires to live in. Freedom and opportunity does come with a price though.

Fun thread: bonehead docs
Holy mozes you guys have seen some jerk doctors! The worst that has happened to me was when I was 19-20 years old. I went to my gyno for a regular check up and he suggested putting me on phentermine for three months to kick start weight loss, and after the three months of phentermine, he'll put me on antidepressants so I don't gain the weight back! I didn't even ask him for the help in weight loss, he just assumed I was depressed and that made me fat. At that age, I was sure the doctor knew what he was doing so I took the pills and lost lots of weight, and after I stopped I gained almost twice as much As for the antidepressants, I realized I needed to see a different doctor for it and when I went to talk to her, after a good 30 minutes of conversation she suggested I don't take antidepressants.

Should I break up with him?
Cool! Ofcourse I can't start dating right after a breakup, but give me a couple of weeks Now that I've thought about the breakup, I'm even more proud of myself than I was yesterday. I DO deserve better! Mags

Should I break up with him?
I broke up with him today. I told him that I was blind before but he crossed the line two weeks ago and I started to see more clearly. He argued me and made more excuses, but I didn't cave. It's over. Funny thing... my friend has already said she wants to set me up with a great guy she knows. Heh. I'm very happy about my decision.
-
Should I break up with him?
He knows how I feel. We havent been dating long. Before I met him I was in a very long relationship and a bit heartbroken. I guess I needed a distraction from the pain and went after a new guy right away. My pain didnt last long and I started having real feelings for this b/f. Anyway, I've told him about all this stuff, and looks like he is making excuses. He didnt invite me to the weddings because he thought I wouldnt have fun. He orders pizza because he doesn't think it's a big deal (I'm being a baby he says) He doesnt come to my place because he works a lot more than I do. He doesn't want to meet my friends because he doesnt feel like going out with a bunch of strangers. Seems like a bunch of excuses. I think that he just doesnt like to be inconvenienced. I was putting up with all of this because he isn't all bad. He is a good person, just lazy I guess. What really made me sick of everything was two weekends ago after I went out with my friends. I called him the next day and told him that a friend of a friend was talking to me all night and I thought it was funny how this cute younger guy was so into me. This is how the conversation went: Me: this younger boy was talking to me all night, kinda funny he was so interested. Him: He is probably just a chubby chaser Me: What's a chubby chaser? Him: A guy that hits on fat girls because they are desperate for sex and will be an easy lay. Me: So you think that's all he wanted was just sex? All I'm good for is easy sex? Him: No, I didn't say that. I said he was PROBABLY thinking that. Me: Oh great. Bye. I can't explain it but I was very offended by that.
