OK

26 degrees

i am cold dammit

HOWEVER., i feel horrible about the NY area where the lake effect snow is approaching 6 feet...WTF......

what is lake effect snow anyhow?

Girl...this just cracked me up. OK, here's your weather lesson for today. Lake effect snow happens when cold air goes over large bodies of Water such as the Great Lakes where this is happening now. Since the Water is warmer than the air, the moisture is carried by the cold air over the ground and dumps said moisture as snow. So while Buffalo and surrounding areas are hit with huge snowfalls, it's mainly in certain areas rather than over a larger area.

I remember many years ago, working with a vendor in Ireland and having to explain that Buffalo NY was very very different than New York City where I was. They thought the snow was falling in the city and were worried that we were getting buried. I clarified that NY is a big state and Buffalo was hundreds of miles away...lol.

I also saw about Buffalo NY , Texas , Boston & other parts of the state's , so far so good in California , I only have to wear a sweater , not a heavy warm coat or jacket , I feel for everyone that has to be that cold or deal with the white(snow) stuff since We don't have our extra warmth on our bodies any more & We don't stock our bodies with food for the winter any more & hibernate like we used to LOL.

I'm sitting here in my living room wearing jeans and a sweater. On top of the sweater is my sweatshirt. Last night I wore a flannel nightgown and slept under two quilts. As Debbie said, I've got no body fat anymore and am cold all the time. Even now, my hands are freezing and I've had my socks on since yesterday.

So glad that I am heading to South Florida on Saturday for Thanksgiving. At least I'll be warm down there....

Liz, I was picturing you as a meteorologist in front of a screen explaining lake effect weather -- so funny! Shovel off to Buffalo, geesh, that is really something. I'm definitely noticing the cold this year and want to get one of those big sleeping bag coats. Problem is, I think I will only get a year out of it as I want to lose another chunk. What to do, what to do! Loving these problems, really. We are all so lucky. Have fun in Florida!

Cold is a real problem. I am freezing and it is only in the 30's. This is going to be such a long winter and it hasn't even started....well here anyway. End of last winter I had a rough go with the cold and that was somewhere around 60lbs ago. I hate to be a complainer but I am legit cold. I rarely used to wear long sleeves until now. I wear pajamas and a sweatshirt to bed.

i almost feel bad complaining about the weather here in AZ it's certainly chilly in the am as i leave for work in the low 40's i haven't replaced my coat yet so i'm huddled in a fleese.. but by the end of the day and the low 70's have shown their face i'm feeling a little better...

what is with this new feeling i now have.. being cold sucks but i'll take it any day from being over heated and near heat stroke from just walking from my car to my office..

for those of you in the snow.. go out and make a snow angel :) but stay warm... happy almost thanksgiving to you all

      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!!
