    Aetna Nervous

  3. I have Aenta and I gained 13-14lbs in that 6 month weigh period and I was suppose to lose..but since I quit smoking during the wait..they approved me in less then a week after my paperwork was turned in..if I had not been a smoker they would of denied me and I would of had to loses the 10 plus the 14 I gained b4 I would be approved...each plan is so different with so many little catches..best of luck to you!!

    What Your Non-Health Reason?

    To stand in front of a packed school gym and walk my daughter out on the floor at Senior night to receive her cheerleading award and not feel embarrassed the evil part of me will be knowing that the ex husbands new wife who told my kids I was taking the easy way out..will still be bigger than me =)

    Pcos

    Women come in my salon everyday with this problem so u have nothing to be embarrassed about..waxing is the best method of removal..it will damange the hair folicial over time and prevent the hair from growing..not completely but u will notice it's not as course..if ur not comfortable going to a salon to have it done..I belv u can get a wax pot at ulta..I would avoid pre-waxed strips they dont work and end up just breaking the hair off not pulling it out
  10. I found one for summer squash..and I had an abundance in my garden this summer so I have tons in the freezer can't wait to try it and this one!!

    Friends No More

    Today I had lunch with a friend of mine...I met with her to give her a job..before we could even get to that part lunch fell apart...she suggested Taco Bell I said ok...knowing I would just have the small bowl of refried beans ( surgery was Sept 6th)....she asked how my progress was going and I said really well..and she said " it can't be that hard u barely eat anything and can sit around and lose weight"...she is a bigger gal who's mom had gastric bypass 8 years ago so I though her of all people would be supportive...I have a pretty sharp Italian temper and before i thought I said back to her..."I bust my ass 4 miles a day on my treadmill..yes ur right it does take much to fill me up but I still hafta watch what I eat and make sure it's the right foods...you were prob full 2 freaking tacos ago but choose to ignore it"...I got up and left...ok soo I do feel a little guilty abt snapping off on her like that...but I'm guessing this was a friendship that was not gonna last once i started losin weight and she did nothing for herself..such a shame we had tons of fun together
