What part of TN do you visit? I know you are visiting family, right?

My parents retired to Nashville though we've lived all over TN. Where are you again? When I left Atl yesterday, it was 50 and it was 38 when I arrived. Brr! I am loving the sunshine today; we have had such dreary days for what seems like weeks!

This thread is hilarious!!! I just sat here and read the whole thing!

My confession: I called in to work today because I have a tiny sniffle, and just wanted the whole week off. I work at an elementary school, so I get sick really easy. It is my first year and I have been catching EVERYTHING!

Have you ever tried Zicam? I think it works wonderfully! (though I admit you're around a lot more germs than I am!)

good vibes on the way donna.

i myself have hidden the scale till 1.07.09.

have had an obsession w/the DS (DAMN SCALE) for quite a while - i put him up for the holidays..:smile:

confession - OK, inlaws.

firstly i get my inlaws don't care for me - if they want to see their son, i'm part of the deal .... and they're slowly adapting. dh struggles with that relationship as well - very hard to please individuals....which leads me to getting them a gift for xmas.

i've suggested no less than 2 dozen ideas, which when i fully know that all they do is watch FOX news (not picking on anyone here ). hubby said we should get them a flatscreen yesterday, and today we bought them one. my deal is my family is not that extravagant at the holidays - it's all about the kids / grandkids.

so this is my deal - we buy them a flatscreen, i MIGHT get a $3.00 candle ... and they will never say thank you. Rude - can't wait for xmas eve:rolleyes:....oh i'll have had LOTS of wine:tongue:

I confess I'm very frustrated because the scale won't show me 183! I started at 213 on day of surgery so I've been taking progress pics at every 10 lb loss and it's ticking me off that my body is stubbornly holding on to that .5 lb! Everyone, please send positive energy flows my way focusing on those pounds melting off. If you all do it, I know the fat won't stand a chance!

Sent expedited positive wishes. Should be delivered by Dec. 24!!!!!!!!!!!:smile:

I say there is no cheating once you've been banded, EVER! You only cheat if you are on a diet and since we're not dieting but changing our lifestyle we just have to remember everything in moderation and choosing to eat something that's not healthy once in a while is OK. There's your Christmas present from me! Merry Christmas! :smile:

I confess that I don't understand how anyone with WLS cannot be a compulsive weigher. I weigh myself when I wake up, every time I use the bathroom and right before going to bed. This causes me to strip several times a day since I won't weigh myself with any clothes on. Good thing there isn't a scale in the office, else, I might have a lot of explaining to do!

I can tend to get compulsive about it, but it's usally first thing in the mornings only.

However, the last few days I hadn't weighed at all because I was scared to look because of all the holiday food. Little by little I was enjoying Cookies and candy (since enough food for a small, third-world country has come here), plus the parties and drinking. Finally got on today to see how bad the damage was and I had only gained one pound. Do-able. :smile:

Yeah, my in-laws are like that too.

We never have really sent them gifts (except for that cross-stitch I did for them one year), but they always sent large checks to hubby and put my name on the card too.

Over the last few years, and due to a big needed blow-up between hubby and them on my behalf, I no longer exist. Cards don't include my name, they don't ask about me, nothing.

So... since I am the one who does the cards AND was the only one who thanked them for their monetary gifts, they will receive no card from ME. Sonny boy never sends them, so oh well... If I don't exist, then they don't get cards from me. Problem solved.:wink:

I strip multiple times per day too! My husband thinks I am insane!! Well - I am kinda crazy! lol

Donna, dearest, I'm sending such solidly good thoughts your way that I bet you lose an entire pound and not just the .5! :smile:

yeah... DH's b-day was yesterday... his parents did ask about me ... oh i'm so lucky... what did they ask? how much weight i had gained on the pregnancy... this coming from the same people who - on our first lunch together - asked me how much i weighed... nice folks. :smile:

[Donna113 2]

Ahhhhh, thanks all for your postive thoughts. I can feel the fat melting. :smile:

Yeah, but in that good, likable way. :smile:

Omg, are you sure your MIL isn't mine?? First thing she asked when DH told her about me was, "Is she fat?" Heck, at that time I was only about 30 pounds over my ideal weight.

[*slim* 2]

My in-law confession, I'm not buying them a damn thing! I never get a present. I never get a card. I never get my name on the card. My MIL likes to call my DH over to her house and he comes home with a present, but me and my son don't exist. She ships tons of stuff to my step-daughter, but we can't even get a merry christmas phone call. I always bought her something anyway. This year? Screw her. DH NEVER buys her anything, but I always do so she will be shocked when she doesn't get anything. Oh well. If I don't exist, her damn present won't either. ha!
