  1. I'm so glad you got all that Fluid out of you. I bet you feel better. Yeah the lady at the top is boobookitty. Her pics were gorgeous and she posted them on the sit and it seemed the next day we have this beautiful red headed woman on the top of the page. I couldn't stand the lady we did have with the tape measure and the apple so it kind of makes me happy
  2. You look great. I think this is such a common problem because people like to compare themselves to people they are close to. They shape their ideas of themselves by how they compare to others esp, friends and family. Is a 200 lb person fat in a room full of 300 lb people? Is the chubby sister really chubby if she can call her sister the "fat" one. If the "fat" one gets skinny...does that make her the "fat sister" Oh sh*t Panic time. Why does their have to be a "fat sister" Why can't their just be sisters? It comes from their own self esteem issues. People can be really self centered. Don't let it get you down.
  3. And fish makes me gag.
  4. I woud have to nail that closet shut.

  7. I am staying on plan today because I am tired of people asking if I have lost weight. I want them to see I have lost weight.
  8. yeah they even had a sign on their menu that read We Is OUT of Icecream
  9. Your probablee retaining Water...Your probabablee going to go down dramatically in the next few days. But I have some advice to you. Stay off the scales for a week. Just one week. Fight that urge to jump on it. Keep doing what your doing because it sounds fantastic. Drink your water, eat healthy, continue your great habits...but stay off the scale. Thats what I had to do and I really think it is working. I feel good. I feel like I am losing. And on Friday I will see how much I have actually lost this week, but as good as I feel right now I might be retaining water or just having a heavy day hormonoly or something and that scale is not ruining my day today. Try it. I think you will agree.
  10. I'm glad my experiences can help with yours. Your post got me thinking though...I haven't meet too many uptight fat people. Maybe because they found a way to deal with stress (even if it wasn't that healthy). I wonder even after I get over this rough adjustment peroid if I will be a more uptight like person.
  11. About 9 years ago my family went on our last family vacation. It was the last because...well we refer to this trip as the vacation from hell. It started off with all five of us in an RV. (Not a good idea) We pick up the borrowed RV and before we can even get to the interstate a yellow jacket flew in the window into my moms shirt who was driving and stung her three times. Sadly, that wasn't close to the worst part of the trip. My dad gets stressed out easily so he was a monster in that RV, the RV park that we were at had a messed up sewer line or something so when they went to dump the full sewer tank in the unknown messed up line it shot back up covering my dad. We went to six flags and it was 100,000,000 degrees, I got whiplash on the first ride I rode, my little brother got sick from the heat and threw up... I find it hard to be in a house with less than five rooms to this day because of that trip. I'm not sure if the five of us have been in the same vehicle since.
  12. I worked out this morning and I have not shed a single tear yet...so maybe I should just wear myself down everyday. Thanks hungry. Speaking of hungry. Atleast my fill did stop the hunger pains.
  13. Do you remember the movie with jack black? The one where he saw the big girl as gwenneth paltrow. She said everyday she wore the fat suit she wanted to cry because of the way people looked at her. Anyway, in that movie every chair she sat in she broke and she would just get right back up, get a bigger chair and keep eating. Like THAT would ever happen. That movie actually sickened me. Fat prejudice and jokes are one of the last form of accepted prejudice. Hopefully one day it will be elimanated too.
  14. Go play at a beach, Dance (in front of people), and get involved with theatre. I missed it since I got too fat to face an audience. Oh and run. I used to looove to run.
  15. Yeah the apple shaped Angel running down the street being chased by the 10 year old zombie on the news...that will be me.
  16. I was 10. I also went to a school with no doors on the bathroom stalls and I felt like a monster bc noone I knew had theres yet. I was insanely modest back then.
  17. I know you will win, you want it too much to lose.
  18. I am staying on plan today because I am not giving myself a choice.
  19. Well my weight is slowly dropping, my clothes are getting looser, my workouts are getting more frequent and even a little fun...but my emotions are like a thirteen year olds. I am a raging lunatic.
  20. Yesterday I had an icecream sandwich. And I tried to get a dipped cone from dairy queen but they were out of icecream thank god. Maybe that next fill tskelli will hit that sweet spot
  21. I have a special love affair with priceline. They have never done me wrong...but I have never booked a flight, just hotel and rent a cars.
  22. oh sorry about the music tapshoes. I like to follow lone people around in dark garages with a boombox playing creepy music. Its just a hobby.
