Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Hello Hello Hello



Recommended Posts

I can spend HOURS in there. I end up looking at Everything - even crafts that I don't already do. I have been somewhat disciplined in that I have kept my crafting equipment down to only THREE categories. (Well, my husband got stuff to make soap - but that wasn't me...)

I always look longingly at the toll painting stuff, the little ceramic figurines, the candle MAKING stuff (OOOOOOOOO - dangerous!) and several other things. *SIGH*

So many crafts. So little time.

So where is our fair Eileen, today? Check in, Girl!

I'm sorry ladies. I have been so busy at work, imagine work coming before one of my favorite websites....sheeesh :rolleyes:

I love walking into a candle store, the smell is just so relaxing. I have one of those little tea light pot thingys where you put a hunk of wax on the top and the tea light under it melts it. The house smells wonderful !!! I have gingerbread, bananna nut bread, vanilla, orange chocolate and a few other sents. The ceramic pot thingy cost about $5.00 and the wax is $1.00 each. It lasts a very long time too b/c each time you shut the tea light off the wax on top gets hard again. I'll try to find a picture.

Trish... HOME DEPOT ...... oh girl, that place drives me insane, I just can't stand it LOLOL I bet you just go there to look at the men...uh huh. :D

You mean, you actually have to do something at work besides surf LBT?? Wow, bummer. Right now, there isn't much else for me to do, here. It isn't a good thing. Irene is just a smidge ADHD and not having anything to do is the worst kind of punishment. Of course, I AM still getting paid, so I guess there is an up-side.

But it is EXTREMELY ODD to have a zero stress level in a mortgage job. It's usually a heart-attack-a-minute. Everything is on a deadline and people get pretty testy about their home loans. Frankly, I don't know how I have survived as a fat chick in the mortgage industry for 14 yrs. Overstaffing - what a concept.

Anyway, Y'All have a great evening... and if I hear about any buff dudes being attacked by chubby women in Home Depot, I will think of you! lol.

Good Morning,

I figured I'd check in b/4 the day flys by. Trish I bet you could make those pots, one thing is, the special wax they sell smells soooooooooooo good !!! Don't forget to put the hole in the back for the tea light LOLOL !!!

Beanie, you have ADHD? Well howdeee sistah !! My job was supposed to be NOT be stressful but so far in the 7 years I've been here I can't think of a day where this is true. I have work OVERLOAD and people still continue to dump sheeeat on me. The only thing that keeps me here is the friends I've met, the pay is eh okay and the benefits are pretty good.

Okay rant over LOLOL ;-)

Whats shakin with you all this weekend?

I'm gonna relax and try to get rid of this cold.

Well, the hurricane is supposed to swing by. We will see. I expect that we will lay low, since our town is swarming with evacuees and you have to get use a machette to make it into a grocery store or a Walmart.< /p>

I have videos - LOTS of videos. Hubby & I will just snuggle down and watch movies while it rains.

Of course, the poor DH has to hack and chop his way through to buy supplies today.

Did everybody fill up on Gas? Around these parts, they are talking about 4-5 dollars a gallon. God help us all if the refineries are severely damaged by Rita.

Everybody think good thoughts.

:]

      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!!
