Shrinkin' Violets Part 3 Read HERE!
thank you tracy for the fb chat and helping me to decide what to eat for lunch......... I laughed OUT LOUD at your txt warning me of the Frosty recall!!!!!!!!! I was afraid to leave the office for lunch in fear of getting a frosty, malt or dq so I decided to make the best of what was in my office stash..... 1st I tried a can of tuna doctored up with whatever I could find in the breakroom fridge....... BLECH..... two bites and I dumped it out....... 2nd try a little thingy of plain cream cheese that I had in my office.. you know the kind you pick up at a hotel or gas station...... well I was into my second bite when I read the label to keep it refridgerated! YIKES!! so I threw it out too..... 3rd Jar of Honey Roasted Peanut butter....... (DID NOT even crack the lid on that puppy!!!) 4th Progresso Low Sodium Chicken Noodle soup....... well I heated it up and slurped the hot broth, ate a few of the curly noodles and the 6 or 7 cubes of chicken it contained..... dumped the rest out and now that my stomach quite growling I think I can be ok for an hour or so until I can finish the rest of my Calorie Countdown protien shake....

Terry: HUGS FOR YOU and Evan! Michelle: WHEW.. I'm so glad our PTO is not like yours! GEESH......... as it is...... I showed up for all the meetings this year and now I'm the VP!!!!! Luckily, next year will be a slow slow year due to the school being closed for remodel. All our kids are getting split up over the rest of the district..... The principal didn't want to lose the parent group so we will continue with a loose knit effort.......... Well as soon as I type that Robby is doing better the school calls!!!!!!!!!! UGHHHHHHHHHHH

Good Morning........ Thanks everyone.. really! I am starting the day with my coffee and I brought in a big water bottle full of Calorie countdown as my breakfast and lunch..... (think LC protein shake) Today is the day.... NO ice cream.. Robby has been doing much better in school, we are set to have him advance to 1st grade with Para support. I have him signed up for T-ball, and cub scout day camp... Busy busy busy....... I don't think I need a fill...... I just need to play by the rules... no nachos or icecream.... Wish me luck..... Last night at practice they put me on first... boy boy did I get a workout... my thigh muscles are KILLING ME! 207 today....... a new HIGH...... blech!

I am so far out of touch.. do you even remember me??? LOL.. Thank you Jane for the card! I am trying desparately to get my head back in the game........... I busted out a zipper yesterday and I about bawled...... why do I do this to myself... but if you've read my facebook... I joined my company softball team and it is kicking my butt... it is the most exercise I've had in about two years! My mom is doing great and looking great.. she is nearing the 230's and started in the 280's.... she is blessed with a very thin face and thin arms... its her butt that that is the problem.... tonight at practice I had an ephiphany.. I need to do better........ I'm weighing in from 200 to 206 on any given day...... it is the slippery slope I tell ya......... a long long long way from 174.... but really if I'd get my head out of my ass it is not that far...... I've been eating ice cream 1-2 times a day...... tonight it was my dinner......... have I hit the bottom of this whatever?? I don't know.. I sure hope so..... this mind gaME I play it just sucks.... my personal hell.... I'm sorry I've been MIA for so long..... I'm guessing you've given up on me........ as another one that bit the dust... but know that I think of each and every one of you often... the texts from Tracy the card from Jane........ the I'm thinking of you....... all touch my heart.... I feel guilt, shame.. all the same bull shit i've done to myself time and time again........... I am sitting here sore thighs from softball practice........ crystal light and muscle relaxer... in hand and make a vow that I will show up because two years have come and gone............ slippery slope be damned (sorry Judy) I am going to fight my demons and get back ... Much love always.......... Tracy

Hello all!!! Well... I was freaking out and she called me telling me to get my butt in there pronto.... I did. She felt I needed an unfill but was hesitant to take too much since I lost 5 lbs on their scale. Now here is the funny part...... When she inserted the needle she didn't even need to draw back the syringe.. it PULLED/Popped fill out on its own.. and she said WOW you WERE tight! She took .25 and I am much better today.. Most likely is the stress and my cycle that really tightened me up....... ALSO............ I think Robby has ODD..... Oppositional Defiant Disorder mixed with some form of ADHD. The Vyvanse he is on helps his focus but this hard head of his.. is way over the top. He expects EVERYONE to do things HIS way.. Im talking EXTREME..... I don't think the 1.2.3. Magic technique is enough for him....... He was suspended from daycare for 1 day this week... I have found summer care for him NOT school affiliated. I hope she is a good fit. (she has a special ed background, and keeps them busy busy busy) 202 today

Morning all........ I am freaking out right now, and I need some advice. I got a fill last week and I definately had restriction. The NP told me to watch it like a hawk incase I lost this fill too......... Well last night I think I overdid it....... I was really full and uncomfortable when I went to bed, but it wasn't a "stuck" feeling..... it was lower. (sorry this next part is gross) About 11:30 I woke up needed to puke....... ACID puke for the next hour... little bits at a time, but it wouldn't stop..... made my back hurt even so I took a shower trying to work it all out. I took two tums and was able to sleep. I was freaking out all night...... scared straight so to speak. I was planning to have water and broth all day today and give it a rest. (and no icecream or LC white russians) This morning all I've had is about 1/2 cup of coffee and I keep burping it up........ SHOULD I go back to the doc, or should I just try to rest it and quit freaking out.

I'm watching the CMA's too! I put Robby down for the night...... I HAVE restriction!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.. I've lost 2 of the 30 lbs.. I just sigh at my size 10's that are just a dream again for me...... but I know I will get there... knowing that I have a possible leak is at least a REASON why I had such a bad backslide. We had a busy weekend....... we actually split the room that Robby shares with Josh when he is here...... now they both have their own albeit smaller room with custom built Loft beds and we put all the combinded resue heros out and they took turns picking ...... Resue Heros are MAJOR in this house! LOL Cody was scout camping which made things go more smooth........ It is so nice to have restriction back....... a safety net for me........

Michelle..... I got armwrestled into taking PTO Vice Prez last night..... Luckily my transition year will be easy because our school will be closed for remodeling. However before elections I volunteered to take over the Cambells Soup Labels.... (our Kroger has the online program) so even next year we can earn points just by people using their shopper cards.

Ok.. I'm skipping several pages to say WHAT????????? Michelle is going on TV?????????? Suzie: OUCH!!!!!!!!!!! Haydee: that place sounded heavenly! So........... for me..... Fill today...... had to face the scale...... ohhhhhhhhh it was baddddddddddddddddd OMG OMG it was BADddddddddddd. at the doc 212 at home 206 either way I'm A FREAKING IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!! So the PA says she is worried about how much I can eat and I shouldn't be able to eat that much so we will most likely be doing an upper GI....... (I'm thinking to myself) WTF? PLEASE GOD NO!!! First she decided to pull out all my fill and see where we were at.. (should lof been 1.9 cc's) because she pulled out all of it last time too and I had 1.4 cc's......... Well... she looked happy when she pulled out my fill because I didn't need an upper GI... but I did Lose the last fill........ I only had 1.4 cc's in it.......... So she gave me a full 1 cc and told me to watch it like a hawk and if I lose restriction again I am to come immediatly in and be checked for a leak......... So I guess I know WHY I can eat so much..... but yes Tracy... it is MY HEAD too.......... but also that I am hungry more, and that I can actually eat way more than I should be able to........ I HOPE this sparks a rejuice for me.

Good morning........ we are supposed to get hit with a snow storm........ but I doubt it will happen..... we've had a really mild winter. I've got to go talk to the county today...... apparently two of the 5 lots I have didn't get taxes paid in 2003!! and they are saying if I don't pay it now... that it will be sold.... Clerical error with the title company....... the two lots in question are part of MY YARD that is completely enclosed with a privacy fence!

Happy Friday......... whew what a week! DH started taking Chantix this a.m. The dog got neutered yesterday and I had to put a pair of Robby's tighty whitey's on him so that he would lick the stitches! LOL .. I got a shock when the bill was 300.50!!!!! I was thinking $180-$200.00 at most..... Robby had a dr apt yesterday too and we are changing him to Concerta.. we start that tomorrow. I ate chicken fried steak again last night...... me thinks I need another fill!
