CandySmooch

my brother was mainly the one i remember always making fun of me and I always used to cry about it, especially at night before bed, but oddly as loving as my mother was she never did anything to stop it - she just let it be as a big brother/little sister thing - but it was so much more than that. he was terrible - I don't remember specifics I just remember I hated him growing up because he ALWAYS made fun of me being fat. my brother called me SFK for short - Super Fat Kid - it still gets brought up occasionally at family functions when we talk about terrible things he used to do to us growing up - even now it still bothers me - can't wait for it to be brought up when I'm skinny. got called Thunder Thighs My real name is Riccarda and for some reason some ignorant people liked to call me Rotunda instead or Retarda.....(i f*cking hate that one to this day! and occasionally someone still tries to be funny by saying this!!) I actually didn't have too many problems being called Retarda after I beat up the most popular boy in 3rd grade after school for calling me this and made him look like an ass for getting beat up by a fat girl! But I hear it occasionally from the ignorant adult and I simply say gee that's original - I haven't heard that since I beat up a boy in 3rd grade for calling me that. Funny how after all these years, it still stings like yesterday.

So what ended up happening ? did you get the boob job approved?

OMG that is the funniest F**Cking thing I have ever read!!! I'm one of those weirdos about poopin in public or anywhere besides my own house. I've been with my boyfriend for 2 years and my bathroom is the one in our master bedroom and when I come home in the mornings and he's sleeping and I got to do the doo - I get sooo embarrassed if I fart loud or anything because he's a light sleeper and I know I wake him up - but it can't be helped! One time with an ex boyfriend who lived 4 hours away from me - we had just started dating and I was staying the weekend - everytime I had to do the doo I would make an excuse and leave to go use the bathroom down the street at the gas station - i hated poopin in public but will do so if need be. My now boyfriend poops on command every morning rain or shine he's in the bathroom for at least 20-30 minutes like clockwork. I just go when I need to go - I don't schedule a morning appointment with my colon! Another thing that is completely embarrassing and I know it still happens - I refuse to fart in front of anyone besides one gal pal who has no modesty so it doesn't bother me with her, but never has a boyfriend heard me intentionally - but because I hold it in all day - I know I fart all night in my sleep! I've even woken myself up! So i know i've woken Jon up because he is such a light sleeper! Sometimes I wake up and know that he woke up and I just lay there praying he goes back to sleep quickly - now that we've been together 2 years I'm getting to the point where I don't care if I fart in my sleep..........but I believe in KARMA and I know why this has happened to me. When I was younger my sister had a REALLY BIG FRIEND - and when she would come for my sister's sleepovers we'd stay up late watching movies and she'd always fall asleep early and fart really loud all night and we'd all sit there and laugh at her.........Karma's bitten me in my ass as now I'm a sleep farter too! How embarrassing!

funny i came across this thread because just the other morning this website was the topic of the conversation on the rock radio station I listen too. Not only do they take pics and invite others to look but now since the invention of the camera phone as soon as they're done they take pics and send them to their friends DAILY! at least that what the radio dj's do - thank God my boyfriend does not make a big ta-do about this issue - yea we'll say I don't feel good cuz I've the diarehea but even when he passes gas he doesn't make a big deal about it - he did when we first started dating and I almost broke up with him because he got up off the couch and when he walked in front of me he farted - I don't know if it was on purpose or not, but it was in my face regardless and I was pissed for the entire night until finally we were at walmart hours later and I wasn't speaking to him and he asked why and I said maybe because I'm still upset that you farted in my face a few hours ago and he laughed and asked if I was serious. I let him know I didn't grow up sharing bodily function with everyone around - it was something that if it was an accident that was one thing - but if you needed to do your thing you excused yourself from the room. He passes gas, but now he doesn't make a big deal about it - when we first started dating he'd go oh there's a kiss for you........gross........what woman would find that attractive or funny? my poo is my business and no one elses - i hate poop - its only a neccessary bodily function for me - i've see way to many "code browns" when working on the ambulance.........no thanks anymore!

bumpity bump - I'm a go-getter - go figure!

How about when your boyfriend does! Or worse he's feeling for a nipple up high where they haven't been in while and he doesn't realize they're down low after saggin from the weight. When your boyfriend thinks he's in the right spot down south when really he's hitting that fold between your thigh and your chachee. After 2 years he still does these things occasionally sometimes I'm flattered that he thinks my nipples would be that high - but then just mostly embarrassed because they're not and if I had a smaller body maybe he'd never make those innocent mistakes.

My work provides our uniforms that consist of dockers & polos - they give us 4 of each annually - the way these dockers last they should give us 8! After a while the dockers where thin - thin enough you can see through them! One night I didn't realize I had on a thin pair and I bent over to get hostess cupcakes out of the vending machine when rriiiipppppppp - blew the ass right out of them and this was no small rip - ripped the entire ass out of them - luckily my shirt covered up most of it - but this happens frequently if you don't remember to check your pants - the pair I have onto tonight is on its last leg as when I go pee and look down at my pants I can see the floor through them! Lets hope I make it through this shift tonight with them intact. Another time I was leaving work getting into my low-ridin Camaro and as soon as I got in I ripped the ass & thighs out of that pair too. I just found if funny about the cupcake rip because it was very ironic - shoulda seen the signs to keep my fat ass off the hostess cupcakes! My pants were protesting!

Penni - how is Jacob doing now that he's had some time?

I was 17 and my boyfriend whom I'd been dating since I was 14 - well we were getting romantic in his truck down at the city lake late into the night when all of a sudden there is a spotlight on us - I try to see beyond the spotlight and yep wouldn't you know it - cop busted us. He came walking up to the truck and saw we were both buck naked so he annoying rolled his eyes and made a hand gesture as in hurry up and get dressed - so we did and he gave us a lecture and told us to find a gravel road next time! Funny thing is that a year later I became an EMT/Firefighter at 18 and worked side by side with this same cop and you know he had to tell everyone on the force about the first time he met me!!!!!!!!!!! And my highschool sweetheart became a cop also a few years after that when he turned 21 - LOL - good times, good times - young dumb times, but good times none the less.

mmm I just puked on myself in my car the other day - guess that counts!

So how did your horse classes turn out Vines? I too would love to this when I'm at a more comfortable weight where I am stronger and more flexible so I can truly enjoy doing this - but it is on my list of things to do when I get smaller! Tell me all about it!

I don't like saying sorry for your loss - but rather I'm happy Jeter gave you such love, loyalty, and happiness for as long as he could and that you knew of what such love could bring in this lifetime because of Jeter

i signed up for that online savings account - sounds legit - hope it is and some foreigner isn't out blowing my money lol

you sexy bitch! why hide behind the side of the car? I was hoping for a nice spread eagle shot on the car hood - unless it was a skirt you were wearing of course - whoops

i'd like to get one - sounds like fun!

cool i'm going to go check this out - good idea - thanks for sharing!

I have family in Tavares - about an hour from Orlando - I'm worried too - I'll be praying and watching the weather channel with you! Best of luck at weathering through the storm - looks like your going to need it.........they're saying its going to be landfall in the early morning?

ok, i understand your pain with tickers - but as soon as your weight really starts flowing off your body - I'm going to make a personal demand that you will have a ticker or there will be a price to pay and it won't be a good one LOL

funny you mention this - i saw it in the store for the first time a few hours ago and almost picked one up but didn't - now thatyou recommend it I will try them out!

i agree - be very careful your not too tight - being too tight for an extended time causes problems - slippage, reflux, esophogilitis - my dr. told me at my last fill that if I couldn't get solids down the next day to come back because it wasn't going to loosen up and new research is showing complications from being too tight - so I had to go for an unfill a few days later and I lost 3lbs in a day and a 1/2 and my dr. was not happy about that so he took some away from me. just be careful.

yea - I'm just looking for some consistency to go by - and so far 3 days in a row - in the morning I've weighed 283.5 - I'll take it! - that puts me at 9.5 lbs but I feel good so I'm rounding that up to a total 10lb loss. Vines - I know you don't like tickers, but I look at it like this - I know one day - however slow it may be - but one day that ticker is going to hit goal - that inspires me instead of making me feel like a failure! Heck this is the first time I've got to move it since being banded. Here I am several months later - but damnit 2lbs is 2lbs no matter that it took months to get it I'll take it!

I would be happy hitting my first mini-goal by my 1st bandiversary which would be 63lbs lost - I'm now holding steady at a 10lb loss since surgery mAY 24 - another 53 to go for mini-goal and 113 to go for my total goal - it is really nice to belong to a group where everyone has the same goal for 100lb loss or more

LMAO - thanks for the first laugh of the day!

Cool - I'm going to check it out at a slow time at work in the 911 Dispatch Center. It gets pretty boring between the hours of 3-5AM - nothing usually goes on then. Good to know - I'll look for the big hunk in the pics LOL
