Shrinking Violets - Part 5!



Recommended Posts

Pam... we leave this Saturday, 1/16, and return in a week, 1/23. I am so ready for warmth!! AND... I mailed out the check yesterday, so keep an eye out for it!... AND, you *must* tell us what movie it is after you see it -- waiver, shmaiver! ;)

Haydee... yep, ritz are evil... I think I re-learned that lesson yesterday... burp. AND... IMHO... remember that it's YOUR day, so I say, if you want a specific food, then get it! No one will starve (lol, esp. not our group! :thumbup:) It sounds like there's plenty of time for "traditional" food during the whole weekend celebration!

Bleh. No offense, but I can eat this anytime.

adobo short ribs, chicken in a green chile sauce, squash blossom wild pilaf, green cactus salad

Now THIS... THIS sounds fantabulous AND I think it reflects your & Juan's personalities and zest for the creative -- I vote for this! (Your mom knows I get a vote, right? ;))

It's amazing what a little highlighting & a fresh 'do can do to perk up a gal's outlook!

I made a Big Breakfast for dinner tonight... eggs, pancakes (choice of plain, ban, & choc chips), bacon, and Grands cinnamon buns... mmmmmmm... I had just eggs, bacon & a grapefruit... yay me!

Now it's up to help the kids start pulling out clothes to pack for the trip... I hope all their summer stuff still fits!

Speaking of which... I'm going to go shopping for ME tomorrow... would like to pick up a few new togs... cross fingers!

Enjoy your eves!!

Good Thursday Morn, girlies~~

Today's shopping day for me -- yay! Maybe a new top or skirt or something fun for Mex & the Spring (if it's ever warm here again!).

Thought for the day, courtesy of body+soul magazine, Feb 2010:

10 Thoughts on Whole Living

1. Multitask stuff, not people. Look someone in the eye when you talk with her.

2. Reconnect with your work. Think beyond what you do to how it affects others.

3. Living sustainably isn't only about what you use, but what you fail to use.

4. Just as a seed contains all it needs to sprout, so are you already equipped to thrive.

5. Don't torture yourself over a few wayward Snacks. Make your next choice a healthy one.

6. True love begins with both curiosity about and acceptance of yourself.

7. Coping with stress becomes easier when you know what deeper fear it's triggering.

8. Real awareness isn't about hanging on to the moment, but simply recognizing it's there.

9. Consider this year the opportunity of a lifetime. Start fresh.

10. Heartbreak does more than just hurt. It opens you up to love in a whole new way.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
