Hey 50 & over gang We have a new spot

[phyllser 3]

I know I can blame no one but myself for my poor food choices. my downfall is chocolate....and now it is Easter time..and we just passed Valentine's Day. I usually do not have any at all in the house, but I have those weaknesses and BAM I go buy it. Also lots of stress at work, lay-offs going on... And I am a stress eater, so that is a big issues for me.

I am going to be extremely observant of what goes into my mouth.. and hope it kicks my head into gear..weekends are also hard to get in all my water..

Chocolate is a weakness for me, too, but you just have to get it out of your system, resist the urge to buy it, and you will stop craving it... I promise! But you have to

JUST SAY NO!!!

ever since the upgrade last weekend I have not been getting email notification of posts either, and I checked and I am subscribed to all my usual

Check under CPUser and make sure the option to get email notifications is still checked. Then go to your list of subscribed threads and go to the last page of each thread. I find that if I don't go to my subscribed threads on a regular basis, email notifications stop. But after I go back and visit each of my threads, they will start up again.

My e-mails are still coming - but to my "Junk" box now.

(I'll fix it)

Exactly one week until my pre-op liquid diet starts!

Instead of counting the days - I'm ENJOYING the days.

Like a vacation - it starts when you lock the door of the house and back out of the driveway -

Enjoy the ride!

With impending separation, surgery and the decision to teach/lecture needlework - I'm on emotional overload.

So - it's ME ME ME for several weeks - health, attitude, esteem, discipline.

I spent a long weekend with a long-lost childhood friend and it was as if we just returned to school on a Monday morning.

I had a "last hurrah" bread-baking spree (left all the loaves in her freezer) while gabbing for 2 1/2 days.

It helped put a refreshing perspective on the "Me" I was, the me that is buried and the me that should be regained.

Very - very appropriate for this time of life and year.

Phyl, I should know this being a moderator and all. I went to user CP to make sure my subscriptions to emails were turned on. I couldn't find anywhere to check that. Where is it at?

Alex emailed me to my email address that is listed here, and even he can't figure out why I am not getting email notifications.

Did you check you junk mail?? Mine started going to my junk mail once and it took me a while to figure out what happened. Once I checked "not junk", it started coming back to my inbox.

User cp.... then Settings and Options, then options.

Have you had any plastic surgery... can't remember?

Having a BIG "debate" with DH because I want to get my legs done... and I want to do it in Mexico, and I want to do it before I get to goal.

[Oregondaisy 2,021]

No, no ps for me. My friend wants to go to MX . She found a good one. His name is Jaun Luque in Mexicallii in case your'e interested. She is a nurse, so she knew all the right questions to ask.

Atta Girl Elayne,

Sounds like you had some well overdue fun with your school pal. "G'donya!" Great to hear. Keep it up.

Best wishes, Helene.

Hi Everyone,

Would you believe I'm down to 94 kilos = 163lbs as of this morning. I was so afraid of going up in weight after the band was removed but I guess I'm doing something right. My system has begun moving properly again so I guess that will make a difference. I still have small meals as before and drink a lot of Water (mineral water, can't stand tap water).

I do wish the surgeon had drawn the Fluid (blood) from the bulge last week. He said the body will absorb it in time but I've had it drained after previous surgeries and would prefer it than the bulge. Still very tender and tire easily but getting there.

Best wishes to all.

[Oregondaisy 2,021]

Glad to hear you're on the mend Helene. I hope your family is letting you rest.

Good job on keeping your weight down!

It's great to be hearing from you , Helene. Keep healing!! You must be feeling so much better about your situation now. It will all come together, honey, just keep plugging along. I know that bulge bugs you, but with all the other things that had to be corrected, your surgeon is probably right to just let this situation correct itself - less trauma to you. Good goal...

take care.
