It's from my new favorite link: Baby Bariatrics The quote says: BABY LIPOSUCTION You're never too young to look good. And, I don't know how to fix it so that it can be seen...I may have to forego that one.

LOL...well, I had a good tall iced coffee in some big butt chairs. They were very comfy! Yes, please keep my updated for the next one! :smile2: I'll pm you my personal info...

I think it was the "cold" part...and the "not that bad" part. :smile2: But, yeah, gravy rocks. Unfortunately.

BBK - After all you've been through, I'd say a little bit of slacking is okay!

I know for me that the number would be that I was heavier than most people can fathom. (I'm still not at goal, though, so I'm not sure if that thought will change by then.) Almost like saying it out loud would embarass them and me. (How wacky is THAT?!) Also, it's like people passing in the halls, asking, "How are you?" then they keep walking. Do they REALLY want to know? Or are they just being polite. I have terrible social skills and usually assume people are being polite and I avoid details. I was at 300# and now I'm around 225...do people really need to know I was twice their size? I don't want to see the WHOA moment in their eyes. I still have that fat chick inside and she's really embarassed about getting that big, so anyone's comments, no matter how innocent, encouraging and all around nice, still hurt.

I admire that so much! You can be an inspiration to people who see you out there!

Did the woman not go to the doctor? Was CPS called? good grief.... I think the website was hilarious, myself. If someone gets plastic surgery for their babies, it won't be because of this website. It will because those people are sick and need help.

Okay...even if it weren't for the posts, the pictures and the sonogram avatar, you've just confirmed it: YOU ARE PREGGY. I'm wonderful! Even if it is Monday, it's a damn good day!!!

I dunno...but I'm checking the Gazelle Milk they offer. After all - have you ever seen a fat gazelle? Methinks not.

True...very true - I agree that he'd get defensive. Sometimes it's not worth the fight, even though we simmer inside about it for a while afterwards.

Have you ever had issues w/gall bladder? Do you have any pain associated w/this? I was told vomiting at all was BAD, so get a doc appt in ASAP. Good luck to you.

I just got back from a cruise and a massage...my first! I just jotted down on the paper that I'd had bariatric surgery. I had the full body massage and nothing bad happened. I'm almost at a year, though...You may want try out laying on your tummy to see if there is any discomfort before you go. Or ask the doc...?

Is your city Houston???? If so, sign me up! I need more motivation. My .02: Unfortunately, I haven't been involved with too many programs. I just started the couch to 5k run program and I've been enjoying that. My biggest obstacle is myself and my laziness. Good luck!

OMG...I am sitting here at work, LMAO. I think the funniest part is the disclaimer. TOO FUNNY. And the retouched pics...like it! It's totally a joke...

I think so...I just called to make sure she's "okay" and got the brush off. I'm FINE, Moooom. Gawd. What was I thinking? How dare I?

My daughter couldn't sleep last night..first day of 6th grade today. Poor kid. If I'm dragging, I know she is. She was so nervous about locker combinations...8 different classes. She's a nervous wreck, but at least that nervous energy will keep her going. I'm just trying to stay awake!

I haven't downloaded the links yet...my mp3 is a little old and I'm thinking of upgrading. Right now I just have room enough for my songs. I had a tough weekend, and was only able to get a version of the plan in...not the full timing of it. But, at least I did it!! Yay! So, now, Week #1 - here I come again.

Ack...I must have been at the wrong Starbucks...I was at the one on 290/Jones at 2pm...? Please count me in for the next one!

I miss fall. It was my favorite.

My Sunday rant: hairdressers who don't know what they're doing and cut badly! I asked for 2 inches off my shoulder length hair...and got 2 inches left of hair. I am still in tears...I know it's just hair, but YIKES it's fricken short. And, it's not even cute...I have curly hair and it's WAY to short and it's a bad cut to boot. Ugg...

Hm...I disagree with racism not being material. It's the same as hugging. It's crossing a line and makes her feel uncomfortable. And it can be dealt with the same way - tell him it's not acceptable. I had something happen at work the other day that threw me for a loop. A woman was talking about her dad from Louisiana selling his house. They went back for a visit and the dad's old neighbor was upset with the new owner because he lets "the slaves" up on the porch. According to the dad and the old neighbor, the "slaves" knew better and knew to go around to the back door like all the "darkies." I was floored and said, "Don't they know in that town that slavery is OVER?" She said, "But, they don't want to work. They're lazy." I said, "I don't want to hear talk like that...it's not right, and you WILL NOT talk to me like that." She just walked away and I haven't talked to her since. I just couldn't believe it. They still call them slaves??? Are you kidding? I'm still reeling from it and want to go running into LA and "fix" it. No, I can't fix their ignorance, or change how they feel, but I can make them aware that it's wrong and not to talk about it with me.

#3 of week 1 is today...I am sure I'm repeating week #1. I haven't done much exercise lately, so my body is rebelling slightly.

BBK - Is it weird to have people telling you to gain weight? I think I'd feel reallly strange...for 20 years docs have been telling me to LOSE, and if they ever tell me to GAIN, I'd go a little bonkers. My goal is 145...and I was thinking that was high. How can they be telling you to gain? Life doesn't make sense. Are they scared you'll lose too much?

Heck yeah! Captive audience - How cool is that??? I like tator tots!!!!

The thing is...they're not bad, just annoying and childish. Sometimes I want to speak to a grown-up, you know?
