- people info

- shopping info

- town info (where the heck are ya livin' in NB anyways?)

- boyfriend info (most important!)

Any regrets? Happy? Content? Satisfied? DETAILS DETAILS!!!!

Sadly yes, we are a nosy bunch. (to be completely honest though, Cloe and CanadaSunshine put me up to this!). I'm merely the one who chose the short stick!!!

:scared: :)

I get the 'how much did you eat?" thing, and I'll show him my bowl/plate, and if it's not very much, I get a disappointed look, and if it's alot (kinda) I get a "good job"! haha We'll go out for dinner/lunch with people who don't know, and afterwards, I'll whisper (or not) "I ate all (or almost all) my ___ " Kinda funny how it's now good to eat it all, well, at least when 'it all' is still not alot.

No comment on the popcorn thing :| *zips lips*

You know what else was good at Quizno's? The nanaimo bars!!

I always stayed away from tuna... tried it again a few months ago, and liked it. Then in my cupboard, I found a can of 'skipjack' Cloverleaf tuna. Didn't know what that was, but I ate it anyways. It was horrible, and now I've turned myself of from tuna!! It's too bad, cause it's so good for protein. I'll try again when I can get that taste outta my mouth.

green, what do you eat your tzatziki with? I used to make these greek pitas, and they were sooooooo good.

I like tzatziki so much that I will eat it straight up with a spoon. Of course it is also good as a dip or eaten with roast/bar-b-queued meat or with crackers. I buy these crackers that are very high in fibre; they are called Finn Crisp and I think that they are delicious. Summer Fresh makes very good tzatziki that is not high in calories.

Summer Fresh also makes an Asiago and Artichoke Dip that is to die for but it is kinda high in calories. I sometimes eat it with Finn Crisps since they are so low in calories and so high in fibre.

Popcorn can make you sick??!!:cry Are you serious? I can't go to a movie without eating popcorn......oh boy. Next you're gonna tell me no peanut m&m's either!:nervous

haha I hear ya Mandi....me toooo...it is like I'm a lil' kid all over again. I'll say to Mr Yoda..."look!!! look!!! I ate almost all my _____". Too funny!

Re. the popcorn thing; yeah, I've also been told to completely avoid it. But, I've never been a big popcorn fan, so at least that is ONE thing that I'm okay with!!

psssssssssssst Becca.....M&M Peanuts go down quite well!!!! LOL (ssssshhhhh)....:guess

Now girls, I've never had a problem with popcorn and many of you know that I've had PB for several weeks (much better now!) The object is to chew, chew until it dissolves - but I haven't felt the need for the "extra" calories of late and I'm doing much better without the fat that goes with Popcorn.

Have a great day. Back to work on Monday - oh and I went Bathing suit shopping!! Yes I got up the courage since the kids had me at the pool all this week and the BS fell off - yes it's ok to laugh!! Ha ha. I got a nice (and striking black one piece with a splash of hot pink and dusty blue)

I'd only ever heard on here, that some Dr's recommend staying away from popcorn. I was never told that. But lots of Dr's tell people lots of different things. I thought I'd never eat ALOT of things (and kinda hoped), and still can. So yeah, I eat popcorn, VERY easily. I eat it a few nights a week. One of those 'mini-bags', and I'm set for the night.

green - I think I actually have seen that Summer Fresh brand, so I'm very excited. I also noticed the Asiago/Atrichoke, and was intrigued. Putting it on a roast, instead of horseradish (?) would be good, I think. I'll let you know when I try it, and if I approve!

Oh Roxanne... sounds like a lovely bathing suit! And I'm sorry to hear about your bathing suit incident! LOL

Argon,

It was hilarious - only my daughter noticed- and YODA shamed me into going shopping for a new one after I tied a string to the straps the following day. But it was fun shopping for it - took a couple of days to get the courage up to try one on - I fingered them for one day and went the next - sounds crazy eh? But that's been my struggle.

:clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

Roxanne!!!! I'm sooooo proud of you!!!!! *invisioning you doing the catwalk in your new bathing attire!*

Excellent....and by the summertime you'll need another one!!!

:popcorn:I am going to believe it is evil....but now I am thinking about the naniamo bars at quiznos. You are in big trouble Mandi!

Way to go Roxanne, you sexy thing you!

I probably shouldnt comment, and everyone SHOULD listen to there docter.....but...... I was told to stay away from candies, gum and popcorn.

Ya.....:nervous ......ahhhh, if you HAVE to eat them, just CHEW, CHEW, CHEW!!!

Hi Cloe,I have a question,why would you stay away from gum,is it because it may be swallowed and if so what happens?

I don't chew gum anymore, and if I do, I MAKE SURE I spit it out. Yeah, because if I swallowed it... I don't know what would happen, I'm sure it would eventually go through (but then I think of how food will eventually break down... gum doesn't really, at least not as quick as it should) And the pieces of gum I chew are definitely big enough to not just pass through my 'hole'. I have problems sometimes, even when I break a tylenol in 3 pieces.

It definitely would be very uncomfortable, and that's not something I want to find out!

Ya.....:nervous ......ahhhh, if you HAVE to eat them, just CHEW, CHEW, CHEW!!!

Like, if you're ever stuck in a candy store for a long period of time, and just HAVE to eat something to survive...... just be careful and chew that awful stuff real good!

Ok maybe I will learn to live without gum but here's a biggie,what about beer? If the answer is going to hurt too much just break it to me gently.
