Aww the dragon looks like a person now!!! I'm with you Haydee.. man who packed his own clothes? I even try to give Russell the nudge, I'll wait till it's past time to be packed and hint to him that he needs to pack.. still doesn't work. Piehole report.. -Choco Milk -1/2 of a burger at Chili's.. some chips & salsa -root beer NO SMOKES. :wink2:

Wooohooo LJM! My baby is due around my 2nd bandiversary. With all that info plain, my dream must have been about you last night. Crazy dreams lately, but can't complain!!! ;D Day 3 of no smoking.. woo...hoo. I go to Tunica tomorrow, going to make myself a millionaire with free coupons.

Wow Terry, my dog is LAZY, she will run for literally 20 seconds outside, then plop down and look at you like you're crazy if you try to get her to play. Sounds like you have a new exercise buddy!!! I had 1/2 order of catfish fillet, some turnip greens and some fries at CB.. but at bowling I had 1/2 of Russell's grilled cheese sandwhich, I was SO HUNGRY. No Smokes, no deathly urges to have one.. wanted on a few times out of boredom, but I survived. Got some pecan pralines (they're actually pecans coated in something, not caramel, like a powder) and coconut bites.. I'm a bad girl, good news is I tried the pecans and I don't like them. so..

Not really appropriate for this thread, but thanks!

I dunno, I can show you pics from me being born compared to my siblings, and despite being 2lbs smaller than my brother, I looked like a 'fat' baby compared to normal baby fat.. then from 1,2,3,4,5,6-etc.. I was always a large kid.. Fat & tall. Both my siblings ended up fat & tall eventually (like after the 10 year old phase I guess you guys are talking about), but they were both bean poles growing up. I was never a bean pole, I was 5 years old and my mom had to hand-make dresses for me because she couldn't find anything to fit me, by about 8 years old I was wearing old womens clothing because they did not make plus-childrens clothing.(I have plenty of fun pics of my spandex shorts, with long old women shirts with sequins all over and shoulder pads) Then in 4th grade I found men's pants and shirts that fit. When I was in 8th grade my mom found plus size 'trendy' clothes that would fit me via the internet. I have a painting my nanny did of me in 1st grade, and I was wearing this hideous zebra print shirt, made for women. With my 2 front teeth missing and all that fun stuff.

I already thought about that, I'm going to bring one of those medical masks.. There's actually a lot of people at the Tunica casinos that wear them.. I've never really been sure why, always thought it had to do with the mosquitos.. but anyway, I'll wear one and blend right in. Lots of gum, and jolly ranchers! Yup Terry, that's why I'm excited to be going, and not spending any money! Getting my last thrills in while I can. Oh and I guess I could mention, I've been going out on some of the smoke breaks and was in the CEO's office while they had a meeting & smoked today. Yesterday I avoided smoke, today I didn't and.. still have not wanted one. Russell is horrible, he hates smoking now (mmhm), so he throws a big hissy.. I guess it's his allergies. Doesn't bother me or make me crave.. still taking the mask to Tunica just in case!

Leslie2Lose & Plain.. making it so people have to know either your e-mail address or last name to be your friend on myspace is VERY ANNOYING!! :sad_smile: :smile: :mad2: Now, I clicked Plain, and I thought "Hell I don't even know his first name", but your screen name is your full name.. very clever, I can handle that. Leslie... I wanted to add you, but I have no idea any of your personal info My hands & feet are always cold since losing weight too, but.. actually I'm just always cold. In bed, I stopped sharing with DH.. we have 3 comforters now. I have 2, he has 1. I wear a sweater all the time even when it's hot out because he has a/c turned on crazy temps. in the house & car. But I can't sleep with socks on, it makes me flip out.

LOL Haydee @ random posts! I am daddy's little girl, despite being married (he gives Russ hell all the time about treating me right), and I expect no change when I have my baby! Dad will always be my hero. My mom is my best friend, it's just that.. we're so alike, and both stubborn and I guess bitchy for lack of a better word. So when we're getting along, it's great.. but if we have any sort of conflict (like what is going on with my sister), neither of us back down, so we just have to keep our thoughts seperate. The rest of the family enjoys watching us fight since we're both so catty. And she's a negative person, which she admittedly gets from her mom, and I have to make a big effort not to be like that.. She can't just be happy for you, it's "That's good, BUT..." there's always a but. I had the choco milk this morning, I make it with 2% milk and the hershey's syrup that is lower in calorie and they add calcium & vitamins. For lunch we went to my favorite deli, which is no longer my fav deli.. 2 visits to them in the past month, in a row where service & food were bad. I had cup of broccoli & cheese soup that was soooo watered down, and some of Russell's chips..oh and some mini cornbread muffins...and about 4oz of Dr. Pepper. I ate 2 mini packs of starbursts (4 pieces total), and have had 4 bottles of water so far.. 16oz ones. I am definitely getting my water in these days. About to take my prenatal vitamin.. tonight is Crack Barrell night. I have been able to stay 'good' when we go there, so not worried about my bad nibbling habits tonight. We don't get home from bowling & CB, and then Tennessee scratch-off run till about midnight..so then I go straight to bed. Did I tell you guys I'm going to Tunica this weekend with my mom? Russell wanted to invite his brother down, and my dad is going out of town somewhere to play in the WPT stuff.. so she invited me. I went through my coupons, I have about $1,200 in free-play coupons, so I have plenty of money to go! Then ironically one of the casinos called me yesterday and invited me to a VIP Oktoberfest dinner for this Friday and they're doing drawings for $60k in cash prizes. My mom said she's in, so I signed up for it. Woohoo. Going to be a nice fun relaxing weekend.. room service, payperview, and slots!

Didn't have to deal with insurance.. LJM you mentioned having to get up a lot for bathroom, I still haven't had this but when I am awake, I have to go every 30 minutes.. and when I wake up in the morning my stomach hurts from having to go to the bathroom so much lol. (My doc said "Well, don't hold it") I don't intentionally.. I actually wet the bed until I was 12 years old, my body just would not wake up to let me know I needed to go. So I was thinking, I may end up being a bed wetter again when the pressure gets worse.. how fun would that be? I bet my husband will find it very very sexy.

Do they ever bring that work home? Is it something you'd be able to help her with? Today I'm not really craving cigarettes so much, no intense cravings so far. I 2nd what Tracy says Kat hah.. Here's my piehole report, there's no saving me for now(Fill next week!!!!!)... Bfast- coffee Lunch-new potatoes & 1/2 lettuce roll w/ham Snack- fried okra & 1/2 egg drop soup Dinner- Slaw Dog (I PBed a lot of it, I ate it super quick and didn't chew), couple fried pickle slices.. More Snack-bowl of cap'n crunch cereal, pudding snack cup, 14 microwaved pieces of pepperoni, a mini snickers, a handful of jolly ranchers, the top layer of a mini twix, and a square of cherry cobbler. Was still starving (yes, starving, I wanted to eat so bad!!) so I went to sleep. I always start my day off with good intentions, then it goes down hill.

I don't wear make-upy make-up.. just concealer once in a blue moon. But 2 girls I work with were raving about it, went out and got it together. One of them broke out from it.. the other one loves it and tries to get everyone else to buy it.

2,000 Pam?? Noob!! <----- Terry, I read that thing you sent me top to bottom yesterday at work. Lots of good info, and mind set information I needed to know. Today I am having that heightened smoker's cough. I keep coughing and choking, yum yum. I had a dream last night about my baby though, so that pumped me up. He was about 3 m/o, named Damien Rae..and some how I had amnesia from about where I am right now, till he was 3 months old, and it 'hit me' in my dream it was like I just woke up. He was super cute, but everyone kept wanting to hold him so I never got to hold him. Just finished my morning choco milk with xtra vitamins & calcium.

LJM- 2x unisom or 4x benadryl (but NOT benadryl d). They are the same thing. I was on rx sleeping meds till I found out, now I am tired a lot and rarely need the help, but on the nights I can't sleep I either take 1-2x unisom depending on how wound up I am or 2-4x benadryl. Both are safe, Unisom is even recommended for morning sickness :wub:

Well, I've done it. I've gone 24 hours smoke free. First time in.. since I was 14! Heh. I took a Unisom and going to bed early, I have realized my worst trigger time is when I am home in bed at night watching TV. I've gotten up to get snacks and pace the house every 5 minutes, I am so antsy. I want to smoke quite a bit, so I keep telling myself.. no, I THINK I want to smoke, but I don't really. Anyway, it's been a lot harder this evening in bed than anytime during the day. Sounds like everyone quits when pregnant, how interesting is that :wub: My mom didn't quit, she said she asked her doctor and he said "So?"..and never advised her to quit. I figured at that time, smoking wasn't considered bad yet, but Judy you quit for your kids? Was it considered unhealthy to smoke then? Russell said his mom use to smoke too (I never knew that) and she quit when she got pregnant.

Hah hah, somehow I forgot about that!!!!!!

Went to lunch an hour ago, got a lettuce wrap with ham in it.. and some new potatoes. AND I MADE IT PAST THE LUNCHTIME SMOKE CRAVINGS!!! Killed a straw in the process, but I got over the hump. You know, I didn't realize so many of you V's use to smoke! I can't believe it never came up. I knew Kat & Pam & Tracy K did.. had no idea about the rest.

I'm late in the conversation, but I believe it's a sexist comment too. Simply because, if it was a man in your place, he would not have said that. Thus, it's sexist. But, I'm like you, I would just take it as a compliment. Only time sexism pisses me off is when I'm playing poker. I do the WSOP satellites and if I get knocked out-- even if I get knocked out because some MORON was playing like a MORON and got lucky-- they ALL like to call me sweetheart "You played good sweetheart" "Tough break sweetie". Like, patronizing me. I get so mad, I wanna smack em. One day I probably will if it's such a hideous bad beat and someone dares to call me sweetie. :wub:

They said barrels are down low enough for gas to be in the $2's.. our gas is still $3.60ish. And we still have a lot of gas stations out of gas since Ike.

I prefer cats. I love my dog to death, and I think puppies are hella cute, but I hate teaching puppies. Puppy school, accidents on the floor, digging in trash cans, chewing, blah blah.. I had to get private lessons to get my little hellion in line. She still is so hyper, like she's a puppy at 4 years old.. Cats on the other hand.. cute, loving, playful.. and don't require attention at all moments, and don't have to teach them to go potty.

I've heard people mention kimkins, but I finally for the first time looked it up the other day. Was a long article that documented timelines, her pic and scams blah blah. Was quite an interesting read. I never heard of it till I heard people complain about it here, and then I still wasn't sure what it was. If any of you didn't know either, I recommend a google. Interesting read and passes the time. Posting to post!

Just part of the sad side of the world.

I was fat at age 3, and my mom never once put me on a diet :redface: I still had WLS. I was talking to a RL friend who is overweight about this. Growing up, my dad always always had stashes of candies, cookies, ice cream, etc. It was never a 'treat' in our house-- it was part of our diet. So I never grew up being restricted from these things, and I ate em. My friend on the other hand, her parents were sticklers about sweets & treats. She said they were NEVER allowed to have them. So the day she moved out of their house, she binged on them all the time, always had stashes of these foods because now she was an adult and could do what she wanted. We were both overweight growing up.

Got any info about this-article or something? It could be out of context, they may have figured out something linked to 3-year olds that can determine if they are predisposed to be obese, etc. Not necessarily that they have baby fat and are going to be obese.

We went 2 years ago, so Kat we may have bumped into each other then and never known it!! I am not totally pasty white Haydee, I am under florescent lighting :redface: I can't wait to get a TT and get rid of that flab. That being said, I watched Doctor 90210 for first time ever (it was on and caught my attention) and they showed them doing a TT on a woman.. I got nauseated. It looks so damn painful, I just can't imagine surviving that. That would be one surgery I would go into freaking out, and they'd have to sedate me ahead of time heh. I want the result, but the healing and drains and stitches across the body.. ick ick ick. Ripping skin off, pulling it tight.. Anywho. I craved my morning cigarette for about 45 minutes, and it finally passed.. chewed the hell out of a coffee straw. I had been breaking my routine smoking habits the past few weeks so this would be easier (if possible). I stopped smoking after eating, stopped smoking when I first wake up and when I am about to sleep. I made unusual smoking times so that there is no pattern. I stopped the smoking when I first wake up, but I still would have one within an hour of being awake. Not today, yay me. Gonna keep guzzling water and chewing on straw.

I have when I was living in college dorm.. was super drunk & stoned and it just happened. I was barely friends with the girl and she invited a guy friend over, and la la la. It was not my thing, and I would not have liked doing it with a good friend or someone I was dating. I never talked to her again, and I never saw the guy again. It made me feel dirty afterward and I ran straight to the showers lol.
