How's about EVOO on a lovely salad to up the fat too? Or try eating chicken thighs rather than white meat to up the fat as well?

I teared up reading this, very profound. Thank you for sharing and congrats on your 30-year anniversary. My husband and I will hit the big 3-0 next July!

I obviously need all of the plant fat available... It's all I want! It was a struggle for me to just eat chicken yesterday, I had to really focus when the Brazil nuts started to look more appealing...

Very! But obviously I have problems... There was raspberries, blackberries avocado, pistachios and cashews...

Well don't leave us hangin! Dammit Janet! Was it tasty?

No I had it like a regular parfait but avocado was the fruit. I need help. 😓

It's still going on, had another meeting with HR Monday. But, I'm not stupid, I know their job is to protect the company, so I'm not expecting any help from that quarter. I know I've burned my bridges here, so I'm looking for another job. It's a shame, I really liked my boss and planned to work here until I retired (I'm 59.) But they transferred my boss to another department and put the new guy in as my immediate supervisor. My boss is even more pissed than I am. He considers it a demotion, just so that they could give the "favored son" a promotion and more visibility. Sucks being a peon!

What happened after you were all subtle and crap, @Orchids&Dragons ? You still work there, right? There has to be a lot of residual resentment, and perhaps even the hope that the "chosen" promotee falls on his less-qualified younger face.

Nibble, I think we all feel that way. At least those of us who have been overweight a long time so we don't have strong memories of ourselves thinner. I had to accept that the old "me" was going away and a new one emerging. I was comfortable with the old me, had known her a long time. But really, this is something we accept as we age, too. One day you look in the mirror and wonder where the younger you went. Really, we're constantly in a state of change.
Turns out, the new me is chock full of piss and vinegar. I've created a firestorm at work when I was passed over for a promotion for a man who is also 15-20 years younger. I was vastly more qualified and told them so to their faces. When they said that they had given my application full consideration, I basically called them liars to their faces. (I was only slightly more subtle than that.) Guess they got my Irish up! 😉

" I agree completely. We gain at least as much as we give. "
Agree! Me too! I'm just glad it's not weight I gain.

I agree completely. We gain at least as much as we give.

Wooohoooo look at you Queen of Onederland!!!! Welcome, come on in, the water's great!!!!! Congrats!
And now...don't let one cheat day derail you. Nose the grindstone, eyes on the prize. Use that gift and compound it by getting back to business. Cuz I can go down the next day, but then the indiscretion will show up on either day 2 or 3 or even 4...so beware!

See. I read this ^^^ as, "I'm a Call girl..." and I'm like, well, I bet plenty of call girls would appreciate the thermal effect of fleece lined tights.
Here you go! Trying to wrap my head around these, btw, but in Houston Texas, there are about 2 weeks in February when I would possibly need them.

Hmmm .... tell me more about this?? I'm a Cali girl, but spend a lot of time in colder climates. I like the idea of these!

Yay! Congrats!
