ms.sss

exercise! strengthen your back, glutes, core! pay special attention to your shoulder and scapula positioning to be efficient and not promote further undesirable form and when ur just walking or sitting around, try to remember to consistently stack your shoulders over your hips (you may have to squeeze ur shoulders together and/or tilt your pelvis, and or "bring your bellybutton towards your spine"...this basically means engage your abdominals, kinda like bracing urself for a punch in the stomach... sounds like alot, (and at first it will feel like alot), but after awhile it becomes muscle memory good luck!

where did you find these? in the 1970's???? 😂 (the packaging reminds me of my childhood)

i used to hate him with a fire of a thousand suns too...until i watched Masterchef Junior several years ago and realized TV is fake (who knew?? lol). He employs TOTALLY different persona on the Junior shows. He's actually kinda sweet and nurturing on them. I figure his ass-hole-ery on Hell's Kitchen is all for show - or maybe it his schtick on Junior that is...either way, he's probably just a regular guy. 🤷🏻‍♀️ (plus those people that appear on the shows probably already know what they are getting themselves into and have their own share of schtick going on...) ...in any case i watch it anyway cuz i love the food and cooking! i'll just fast forward if it gets to cringey.

oh dear god, i bet you $100 (CAD, lol) that the Canadian version is EVEN WORSE. i still watch it though (cuz i loooove cooking shows), i just fast forward all the talking. love Mary, can tolerate Prue (but her ranking goes up if she's on a show with Noel, lol)). ree bugs me too. My fave cooking host of all time is Padma on Top chef. she's the perfect mix of constructive criticism, humour and disdain ahhahaha. plus she's super cool and dresses nice. honourable mention is Phil Rosenthal on Someone Feed Phil. while not a cooking show (more like an eating show). he's honestly so endearing. and his parent's (r.i.p) cameos in his older shows were sooooo hilarious.

i have kind of the opposite-opposite problem. i cant sleep comfortably on my stomach (my preferred sleeping position pre-wls)....it makes my back sore. my working theory is that my lack of stomach bulk results in my lower back hyper-extendeding, hence the pain.

i would like your recipe, please!

possibly, i've read lots of folks on here saying they to have "issues" digesting bread/pasta/rice...you may be one too.

Mr. always thought/thinks its funny and found/finds opportunities to get a laugh out of it. the first year or so after wls, we'd go to parties/weddings/whatever where some family members or friends haven't seen me in a while and didn't recognize me. Mr. would pretend he didn't know me and come up to a group im in and out-flirt the flirters, or plant a big kiss or grope on me in front of them and say let's get outta here, and tell the others if ms.sss is looking for him, tell her you didn't see me. that bit didn't last for very long after everyone we knew finally saw the smaller me again. but it was hilarious while it lasted. a couple years ago i did a fun boudoir photoshoot for my 50th bday. Mr. used one of pictures as his phone's home screensaver for a while. he'd leave his phone on the counter when out and about and people would never fail to say something either in appreciation (for the hot pic, or for his audacity and freedom to put random hot women on his phone) or their disgust (for his audacity to disrespect me so to put random hot women on his phone). sometimes he'd eventually tell them it was me, sometimes no. either way he'd have a laugh. here's aforementioned pic he used. this was taken a couple years ago on for my 50th bday...

well that sounds even more delicious...you have inspired me just now to try my hand at making yorkshire pudding...never have but always wanted to try.

ha, the coconut bun did the stomach filling job, i guess. softish bread tends to take a loooooong while for me to digest....🤷🏻‍♀️

well...we didn't end up going to Costco...whomp whomp we got distracted house hunting and then ended up picking up Popeyes in the way home...double womp womp. an onion ring, 3 boneless chicken wings, and a scoop each of cole slaw & the mashed potatoes. estimated 370 calories for the before pic. ate the sides, a bite of the onion ring (not very good) and 1 of the chicken wings which turned out to have a bone in it, surprise! hahah.

ladies... (and gents)...(and everyone in between😞 not every day will be perfect, or a success or an accomplishment. some days will be the polar opposite. thats just life (post wls or not) give yourself some grace, be kind to yourself. i read somewhere that when u feeling shitty, treat yourself how you would a dear friend who was feeling shitty. good advice, methinks. hugs y'all.

toad in a hole! (heard this term for the first time on some random cooking show a few years back)

well thats a way healthier post-workout meal than mine ever was! heading off to costco now to stock my fridge/pantry (and probably come home with 10 boxes of aluminum foil, or mabye a kayak, lol...who else goes to costco and buys sh*te they don't need??!?!?!?)
