Manatee - Some people have NERVE!! What the hell was that about. I am happy for you...at least you knew what type of person she was from the beginning!!! LOL

I hope you don't let that bother you... you are better than that. Don't worry though what comes around goes around!

Way to go JC! I am glad to hear it was nice.

I joined E Harmony. They were running a special. It's a good thing because I think they are way too expensive. I had my daughter and another friend take some pictures of me. I didn't like any of them. I think I still look really fat. My friend and I are working on lighting, and colors, and I think eventually we will get a picture I can live with. She seems better with a camera than my daughter.

Manatee, those people are the ones that really can keep our insecurity going. I am glad you seem like it didn't affect you.

Wow Manatee, I can't believe she was so rude. I'm not that rude to anyone, including beggers on the street. I'm glad you laughed it off, but don't you wish you had some witty comeback ready when she said that? Sometimes people are just jerks!

Ok, online dating gurus.

Here's a recent pic of me at a car show. Should I use this as a profile picture? I'm a bit concerned about the baggage/implication of the location/clothing, but maybe I'm overthinking it? It's really the only recent picture I have

edit: oh yeah -- I'm now officially "overweight." That still sounds bad, but not as bad as "obese" or "morbidly obese" whoo.gif

Wow Manatee... you look awesome. I would definitely use that pic in your profile. Great smile!!!

Way to go JC on your date and I am so happy for you that you didn't lose your band. Manatee... that woman was just so rude and ignorant. The nerve of some people.

Hey everyone...

I'm having a rough time at school getting everything done, and sleeping and such... I've been partying way too much (I know, my fault) and letting people distract me.... I need to work on myself again- I ordered a yoga ball and mat from sears and got my exercise bike back! so that's good!! still, I need to really be careful.

dating wise, I've been on a few dates but nothing too serious. I thought I met an amazing guy and he disappeared for a while- though he is a teacher, and he did lose his cell- there is a thing called EMAIL. I wish I had better luck with guys- I still keep meeting them and deleting them from my life. But I need to be focused on myself right now, so maybe its a good thing! These guys make me go through nutella jars like water! ahhh!

Even though I don't have any dates this weekend, I still like weekends. I'm so busy during the week I love to have some time to myself. I've been single a long time so I have effectively packed my schedule enough that there is always something to do. lol

share with us Chrispy? I usually rent movies. Sometimes I go and visit some of my married friends. sometimes I hang around my daughter if she isn't busy with her friends and husband.

I signed up for Eharmony. They were doing a pretty good special.

I am disappointed that they keep sending me matches from

across the country. I am also disappointed that in all the pictures people have taken for me, I still look really fat in them. My face is just so fat.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
