Candra.... tear tear for the kitty but I am sending my good feline juju your way!!!! I loves my kitty cat she is my baby so I totally know how u must feel. Donna... so glad you were able to experience that event this weekend, I heard it was awesome! I am so happy for you and your fill!!!!!! HappY bAnDiVersaRy!!!!!!! U go Miss Thang!!!!!! Woot Woot! I think I need to measure food more..heheheh... I have had migraines which makes it very hard to workout and busy with xmas stuff... gotta get on track. Doing well with eating though so i am proud. I realized I am not in a rush. This is for life. The holidays have been a test... food everywhere and i have done so great! I do know that I need to journal. My mom is gettuing better with support , well atleast not always eating crap in front of me. She slips up but has definetely made an effort and its helping me. I know the emotional toll it is taking having her in my home but I am working on it and not using food! whoo hoo. Seriously doesnt it feel like Friday????? I think the calender must be wrong. I am going out to celebrate a friends birthday this weekend and I will be drinking... any suggestions for something better for ya????

Have a great great trip Heather!!!!! Enjoy!!!!!!! Take lotsa pics we will wanna see! I am done wrapping all my presents which have grown and grown.lol. Today is our xmas luncheaon at work... taco bar so I am confident it will go just fine. I got to work and had presents waiting ;D

The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it. Michelangelo

hApPy MoNdAy ALL!!!!! New week to look forward too... planning and wrapping awaits. I fell off a bit this weekend. I went to see my friends lil girl sing a solo at a filipino performance and she was great! But guess what that means... lumpia and pancit so I had to have some... its very rude not to in the filipino culture, lmao- thats my story and I am sticking to it! ahahhaah. Totally worth it though... I have been very good accept for this wekend. So today is a new day, a new goal, and a new me. I spent the weekend surrounded by unconditional love and thats what I needed! A child can make it all better with a hug or even a look =D This is my favorite time of year and the great part about that is its not my fav because of the food.... its because of the GIVING and the love. I seriously cant stop buying toys for kids... and I dont have andy kids. LOL. Have a great week everybody. P.S. does anyone want my mother as a roomate... I am gonna stuff her in the xmas tree box in the garage soon.

Good Job Tina!!!!!!! =D Thats AWESOME!

LOL.... I can picture us in our overalls livin on the land hahhahah =D

Good luck Candra I know you are feeling alot of things lately... U need to go kick the heck out of a punching bag! So frustrating. This is such a crazy journey and a tuff one at that!!!!! Being tight with money at Xmas sucks... but xmas is not about money. Make things for people or give the coupons of thing you can do for them or with them later. Time is precious. I pray that your money comes through for you soon... it is so hard to eat healthy when you have lil funds. I will tell ya ... ground turkey goes along way and makes alot of things. Can you eat that?

Candra~ I completely understand what you have said. I am not going to get into things on here. Let me just say I have supported Nicoles relationship and been there for her and her boyfriend more than you would ever know. I want the best for her. ~I just wanted to let everyone know the reality of things and I will not appologize for that. I am in an akward position as Nicole and I are referred to as the twins or a team. I do not want to continue this as if all is great. This is a support group for the Lap-Band surgery and the journey... this is now part of my journey. A treu and harsh part of what can happen. Of course in the future I want the best for all of us but we are all going to hit a speed bump or 2 along the way. Honesty about what I am doing, eating, exercising, feeling is the best way to face this head on. I am very sorry if anyone feels uncomfortable. I do not want anyone thinking about sides, We are adults. I was not going to continue a charade that I am great. I am not. I would not want to be a part of this group if I felt I had to lie or cover up the truth.I lay it out there as I see it.
