A Canadian "NSV" Thread

We used to have a Cotton Ginny but they closed. I now have to go to Ottawa if I want to shop there so when I'm there I usually buy a lot. Something about the comfort of cotton....

I was never "allowed" to have sweat pants, or really any elastic waisted pants, because my mom said that I'd get too comfortable in them, and gain weight without noticing. :)

I finally bought my first pair of sweat pants when I was about 20. HA!

Your mother has a point. I like to wear baggy clothes especially in the summer. My weight kept creeping up on me and then when I would try to put my jeans on...well, I couldn't.

Yah, tight pants wouldn't have stopped me from gaining weight but they would have made me hot and cranky!

Mandi, your mother sounds a little controlling...no cheeze, no sweat pants.....

Yea, but they probably had to take EXTRA precautions with a daughter like Mandi!!

Yes... I imagine all hell would have broken loose if I'd been allowed cheese AND sweatpants! Not that we weren't allowed cheese, we just never had/bought blocks of it. ?

Hell, I didn't even LIKE cheese until I was in my early 30s!!! I couldn't even stand the smell of it!! The only "cheese" I ate before that was cheez whiz and cheese slices (you know, like Kraft slices). Needless to say, I didn't eat pizza until my 30s (cheese and all). I would periodically try cheese now and again...wishing I'd like it....but didn't. Then my tastes changed and now I do like cheese (though not strong cheese)!! Go figure.

I know many people who would tend to agree with you!!!

But I'm okay with that.

Today I put on a pair of old jeans, size 16W, from Cotton Ginny and I didn't even have to lie down to force the zipper up! And I don't feel like all blood flow is being cut off to the lower part of my body!! Yippee! I'm thinner than I was last Christmas and way thinner than I was before the operation. Green is in a good mood today.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
