Arlene, I love it, out with the toxins whether they be food, people, whatever. Time to take care of us!

Happy New Year everyone! I stayed up til 1030 mountain time but was awoken at midnight by fireworks and it was time for some more pain pills so that was my party. LOL Slept til 8 this morning too. We are working on taking down all the Christmas stuff. DH is doing most of it, but I've packed a few of the tubs. Looks so bare and dusty in here. Anxious to get it looking normal again.

Lori, read Phil 3:12 NIV

Well, they are showing all the WLS shows on the Discovery Health. I just noticed that DR. Garth's head nurse is on another weight loss show. He must have hired her from that clinic. Also they put back Dr. Davis' shows on Wednesday nights. I still haven't heard if they are going to have any new episodes. I need to go see him in February for a check up and I will ask him.

Happy New Year to all my Cyber Sisters!

[IndioGirl55 32]

Great - You are lucky you have DH to take the stuff down - I hate that part - it almost makes me not want to decorate.. I hate taking it down ;0) but like you I'm ready for normal..

Maybe I'll do it when I get back from the show - while my black eye peas are cooking along w/my collard greens...:tongue2:

Also will get some Wii exercise in today since I didn't get to the gym..:biggrin:

Happy Healthy New Years - I will have some popcorn at the show but no butter (ah that's my fav part) but not good for the waistline :smile2:

Well I'm off - gotta get some $$$ and head out - CBL

So I'm back on page 459 so if some of these responses seem out dated....they are.

Linda, I can't even imagine having 14 tubs of Christmas stuff for inside. I just bought my first 3 tubs and that will take most of the stuff. I don't have space to store 14 tubs of anything. I'm really impressed.

Jewel, I didn't have any really bad pain except from the port and that took about 3 weeks to settle down. I didn't even stay in the hospital over night. Heck, I didn't even stay in Mexico overnight....I left as soon as they let me go and came back to San Diego, rented a car, found a room for the night and flew back home the next day. I was pretty luck as far as the surgery went. BUT each of us is different. I've had much worse pain the the arthritis so I guess it's all relative. Your new years post is so positive and filled with all good things. Good luck to you with your surgery and we'll all be here rooting you on as you undertake this journey.

Hi JB, glad to get to know you.

Phyl, your new year's wishes (rules) almost made me cry. Thanks for posting them.

Arlene...great thought for 2010. I agree, it's a new year and a new start.

Julie, you would be so much fun to experiment on. I'd love to cook veggies for you to see what you like. Maybe we can try a little of that in Florida. What haven't you tried? It will be a challenge for me.

Linda, your pictures are amazing. Congratulations on doing so well.

Janet, I'm so sorry about the sad news. Your family can't take much more. HUGS to you and your BIL. We turned Dick Clark on last night briefly just before midnight. My he's changed...he looks like he is wearing a mask. You have to give the guy a lot of credit for hanging in there and continuing the tradition.

Laura K....your rant on your kids is understandable. Someday, they will understand. My sister's daughter stormed out of the house one day after she graduated high school and told her Mom she wanted to be treated like a guest...didn't want to do anything around the house. (Boyfriend influence). It was almost a year before she talked to her again. Now they have the best relationship they've ever had. In fact, she'll be here next week for a visit.

Deb, congrats on the 50lbs. Great job! Getting excited about clothes is a new thing isn't it? Being so overweight really inhibits my clothes and shoe excitement.

Laura, what an amazing transformation! You are brave to post those pictures....I couldn't do it, but it really shows how far you've come. Glad you are back.

Lori....your evening sounds delightful. Glad your knee is healing well and as determined as you are, it will go even better.

1 day....sorry about the car. That is a bummer. Maybe you can find the perfect replacement on the web. I think web access has really increased our abilities to find exactly what we want. I also really like your wishes for the New Year!!

Cheri....Happy New Year. The best to you in 2010.

Happy New Year! Quiet night for us last night...nothing special. And then we slept in until almost 11 this morning! I did put away some of the Christmas stuff (2 bins for me!) and my DH is doing laundry and cleaning up a bit. I guess that little talk I had with him the other day about the house being his "job" when he isn't working did some good. It isn't his fault that he's out of work, but I do get a little upset when I'm working a regular full-time job and still have to do most of the housework. I used to have someone come in every two weeks to do the heavy stuff back when we had more money. But that's been a while.

I realized today that the reason I was so tight over the holidays was nerves. Now I'm ravenous and want to eat everything! So I guess I'm ready for another fill, even though I just cancelled my appointment for one. Luckily, I can usually get in right away when I call.

Everyone sounds so up, it does me good. I hope I can shake the depression that hit me last year. I've always had periodic depressions (it's a disease I just have to live with and that I take medication for), but since my mom fell and broke her hip, then ended up in assisted living, I've been really down. I think it's mostly guilt because I'm so far away and can't help her very much. sorry for unloading this, but you are all so very understanding. Part of my "therapy" for myself is connecting with people, because my usual MO is to isolate myself. So I try to do more social things with friends, and being on this board is also very helpful. So thanks for being there!

Janet......thanks for the food links. I may try some of those recipes......they look yummy.

[jbflorida 1]

A happy and healthy New Year to all! As someone said, we get to do a do-over. Keep sending in all those good results; I plan to join you!

Jewel, you must be excited about your surgery. The healing is minimal and soon you will be on your way. I wish there was surgery for the head....

My sister, who weighs 100, but has an eating disorder, does not eat any sugar. Period. Hasn't for years. I just don't seem to be able to entirely eliminate any one thing. Why can't I look at potato chips (for example) as an alcoholic looks at liquor? To know that I just cannot eat that. Can't..won't....well, maybe just a little....

Isn't it funny how someone can be so strong in some areas and the one thing that we DO have total control over (what we put in our mouths) is my weakness.

I have a change of attitude coming. I think with more exercise and better meal choices, I will feel better physically and ...emotionally.

Is there anyone that is starting over again, like me?

judy--hugs to all
