omg if I had a dollar for every time I "fell off the wagon" I would have enough money to bail the country out of the recession. The important thing is your reaction to the fall. Stay positive. Deal with just today. :mad2:

Good luck on your journey and just keep remembering that it is a tool to help LOSE weight, not to keep you from GAINING! I learned that one the hard way! Best of luck to you!

Nice try Janie! lol That would be suicide for me!

Judy-we did that musical in high school Good times!

Good morning violets- Just sitting here having my first of a few cups of coffee Got lots & lots of things on my mind lately. It is so hard to believe that the holidays are drawing near. Unblievable! We are going to get a real tree this year. I have not had a real tree in probably 15-20 years. (back when Laura was a little girl ) I am really looking forward to the smell of a real tree. I know there are a couple of places in the Houston area that have tree farms and they cater to the 'family tree cutting' experience. Macy will LOVE it! Hopefully we can find a pretty tree at a decent price. Have a fantastic day and make good choices! Denise-the dress is beautiful and the boys are still darlings! They grow so fast, right?!

Quick story.... We were watching Titanic. At the end when Jack died of frostbite the boat came along to find survivors screaming "is anyone alive out there". Rose hears them and she tearfully has to 'let Jack go'. OK, here was the conversation at my house during that scene: Macy: "mom, whats wrong with that guy?" Me: "he's frozen like a popsicle cause it's so cold" Macy: "oh. What's wrong with that lady?" Me: "she is sad because he is frozen like a popsicle" The movie: is anyone alive out there!!!! Macy: (very matter-of-fact) "well, she is gonna have to go without him" Now that just cracked me up for some reason.... Laura-kids can be so funny! You are in for so much fun!

Hi friends...just a quick check in. Looks like it has been pretty quiet in here today. Hope everyone is having fun.

Good morning violets- I really do not like when dh is on nights over the weekend. It is so difficult to try to keep the house quiet while he sleeps during the day. Our backyrd is off limits because it is right by our bedroom, therefore, too noisy. He doesn't complain about noise because he is such a sweetheart but I just know I would sleep better if it is quiet, so I know he would too. Scale bounced up 2....still no TOM so I am sure that is why I bounced up. Pamela-anything fun planned for the rest of the weekend? Don't seehow you could do anything more exciting than madonna Judy-here's to not barfing at your friends house! Jenn-how are you? what ever happened with your tom issue? Jane-busy today @ work? Wish you could come do my hair! Suzie-have they found anyone to hire yet at our job? Michelle-how do you handle your holidays? Do you have them at your house or go somewhere? TracyinKS-have you scheduled another boobie appt? They only have one machine for real? The place I go to has about 10 of them!:ohmy: Laura-whats little mama up to? Congrats on staying on 229. That is awesome REALLY! Haydee-was it cold this morning or what! Does someone have a wedding planned this weekend. If so, it will be perfect weather. Have a great day everyone. Make good choices.

Luckily for me dh family are a-holes so we do not have this problem!! It is always at my families house....dh prefers it that way too. I am very lucky! Sad that his family is the way they are but it makes the holidays a no brainer!

Haydee-that is just too cute! I wish I had it for my kitchen! lol Laura-BITE YOUR TONGUE! (even though I would secretly LOVE being pregnant again, but that is impossible...at least for dh it is) lol

Haydee-no e-mail either :thumbs_up:

Good morning ladies- I am cramping so bad :thumbup:. Still have not seen tom though. My cycle has been so screwy lately. Maybe the weight gain then the losing is throwing my body out of whack. I can not wait to hear about the concert Pamela went to. I'll bet it was so much fun! TracyinKS-how is the unfill so far? Terry-did you make an appt to get a fill before the holidays? Michelle-a closet alcoholic? :w00t: Have a fantastic day everyone :smile2: I will be moving around as little as possible. Maybe a heating pad will help.

HiYa girlies :rolleyes2: DH is on nights so the house is very quiet. I just can't get used to it getting dark at 5:30 in the evening! UGH. It is 15 til 6 and I am yawning for Gods sake! Thank you all for the tips on the Greenbean Casserole. I love that stuff. I could live on that and green rice. Tonight is survivor night...all is well with the world. I miss Kat.

Laura-your sis has been with that girl a while now, huh? Haydee-I did not get the pic :rolleyes2: TracyinKS-that is alot of money!

Haydee-in an e-mail?

I wanna go see madonna!!!!!!

Good morning everyone! I am still bouncing on the scales. I guess it is to be expected since tom should be any minute now. I am just a little disheartened because I wanted onederland again for Thanksgiving. le sigh Jenn-hope your ds has a fantastic bday! Tracy-the best advice I can give is...pretend the unfill never took place. Brainwash yourself, do whatever you have to do to NOT eat the evil. Gotta get dd ready...bbl

YIKES....if you think you have it bad...go check out the blog section where there is one called something like "the band ruined my life. RUINED" My goodness, I even felt compelled to leave a comment. lol I started to sing the song from HEE-HAW...Gloom despair and agony on me"

So what you are trying to say is...you do not like the band, right? lol But seriously...lap band is not for everyone. I hope you find something that can make you happy. Best of luck to you.

TRACYK, that is how. I have been stuk on this 206 number for long enough. Thank goodness I am not depressed enough to EAT, but motivated enough NOT to eat! Should be starting TOM soon so I am scared to weigh because of retaining fluid. I will probably just weigh in the morning and then not weigh again until tom is gone. Wanna know what my downfall is? Enchiladas. OMG, they slide down the old pipes. This next part is for myself (to kick things around in my own head for therapy) and for newbie banded people. I have had more new people that read my blog ask questions like "I thought with the band we would not be able to eat this or that". Picture this...(for instance folks, k?) say I am a drug head. I want some pills really bad because I have been clean (a good bandster) for over a year but now I really really need to "get high". I will figure out any way I can to get that high. Shakes go down...ice cream goes down, cheesecake goes down, cookies go down. Get the picture? If you got/are getting the band to "save you" from the sinking ship, you might wanna realize that you have to do some swimming to help save yourself!. The band is VERY helpful in losing weight. I would not trade it for anything! It is my life preserver for when I get really tired an feel like I can't swim anymore. Ugh, that probably made sense to NObody but me. But, I know what I meant. lol I guess what I am saying is don't expect a miracle, BE the miracle!:mad2:

Tracy-good luck with you know what...I am just too shy to say that S word :sad: :biggrin: :w00t: Just trying to lighten things up Tracy, you'll be fine! :biggrin:

It is really worth a try if you have not used it before! :biggrin:

not quite as good as fried bounce on a stick but yes, it is fantastic :biggrin:
