Good Morning,

Hi Cindy, woweee your up late :P Yep, tomorrow is a new thread :mad: New thread, new year, new start, new weightloss and new healthy US !!!!!

Oh your poor DD. I'm glad her arm is not broken, although when I was little, casts were sooooooooo cool. Do you know they now have different color casts. My neice who was born a dwarf has had many surgeries, many problems but she has had leg surgery and each time she comes out she has a different color cast on... kinda cute if you know what I mean. It makes the kids happy anyway. Glad she's okay though HUGS.

ITS SNOWING IN NJ !!! and may I say the flakes are HUGE !!!!! Looks pretty but I'm sick of snow, we had enuf this year already lol. I just hope people will stay home and not drive drunk, the snow makes it worse b/c its slick on the roads. I pray for everyone's safety tonight.

I am not doing well eating. I ate like a pig yesterday and I know I'm heading there tonight b/c neighbors are coming over and I have a troft full of food to serve..... can you say OINK! I'm gonna try not to eat until then (well I just had 1/2 a bagel lol).

Betty, i'm with you. Jan 2nd is the day I throw the crap out of my house and start my new year. Left overs are a bitch.

Whats everyone doing today/ tonight? any plans to live it up tonight?

Well, my IT dept decided to make use of the Friday before the long weekend - assuming everyone would leave early - and they shut down our computers at 5! So, I came home and collapsed into a little relieved pile and didn't come here to check in. (slug, slug, slug!)

Yesterday I felt about 10 pounds lighter and at least 5 yrs younger - I didn't even realize how much that test was stressing me out!! I am even more relieved today - since I would have felt obligated to go in and re-test if I hadn't passed. The Deadline was 12/31/05. Woo Hoo!!!

Better still, I have convinced DH that IKEA on Saturday when they are having a sale is a BAD idea... He can go and look at flooring during the day when most folks are at work... So, today, we just have to make a run to Sam's Club - and maybe take in a movie - and then I get my wish of staying in for the rest of the weekend. I will probably be vegetating... so you may not hear from me again until Monday.

Betty-Love, Thanks for the offer of the Cookies - but seriously - since I passed that stupid test, I don't have the burning desire to eat one (ok, MORE than one) that I was having. You all kept posting about baking and cooking and all I wanted to do was go to the nearest baked goods aisle and grab, grab, grab. It was bad. I did resist, though, and now that pressure has passed.

Cindy - you are so funny!! I laughed so hard about that making an outfit for Pat business...

Pat, Honey, I just can't reconcile that picture of you in your beautiful suit and your red had with a picture of you in a leather halter with Daisy Duke cut-offs and tangled hair. I'm betting you have a really good set of riding leathers - that cover all the essentials. Come on Pat, fess up! Any tattoos from your wild-child days?

And Cindy - hope DD is doing well. It probably would have been the highlight of her week to get a cast - but the story wasnt exciting enough. She would have had to make up some more exciting reason for the break.... lol! Glad you had fun shopping! I haven't had fun shopping since I was 12. Since then it has been an arduous, torturous process of finding something that fits, but doesn't make me look HORRID.

Eileenie - Some of us would be THRILLED with that lovely precipitation. We are already thinking forward to Spring here... We MIGHT get another cold-snap in January - but after that, the flowers start blooming. If we don't get some rain - there won't be any Water for flowers and grass... And that whole Hank Hill thing about the lawn? That is REAL. The folks around here get all crazy about having the perfect lawn. I don't understand that compulsion, myself... So I guess I will never be a TRUE Texan.

I have NO plans to party-hearty or any of that other stuff. I will probably watch Dick Clark (they must have him digitized... He can't REALLY still be alive and doing the New Year's Eve show, can he?) and play my computer game. I am going to keep on eating what I want until Tuesday... Monday night, all the garbage goes where it belongs and I am back to Protein Shakes and proper meals...

Happy New Year's!!

If I am not too slugged out, I may check in. Love you guys!!

Irene

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
