I'm 5' 1.5" and think that your point makes a lot of sense. Can't wait for a PS consult... even the "sticker shock". At least I'll have a good laugh! I don't want them to "sink" if they are too big also.
DS needs a lot of dental work... $$$$ and has zero dinero! We are going to help him. Where is the emoticon that has the empty pockets sticking-out???
Holiday $$$$... Bummer! Holiday Time...
Snow... 
Most guys seem to be butt guys! Yours sounds like a Sweetie Pie!

My Endoscopy found a small hiatal hernia and some biopsy material was taken to rule-out other problems. New Rx is being tested for 5 days. New Rx is basically Old Rx with Baking Soda for $$$$. I should know by the end of the week if it works. Main difference, other than the BS, is that the capsule is taken 1 hour prior to food with 8 oz of water. Guys... It's the same Rx, BUT $$$$?!
Forgot to Mention: Size Counts!! Dr's "hand gesture" of the size of my pouch was about the size of an Extra Large Egg!!! Hey, I'm Thrilled!!!
B: Fasting prior to Endoscopy L: 1 c pea soup w/ 2 Saltines, 1/2 stuffed cabbage, 4 oz mashed potatoes D: 1/2 veal parm sandwich, 1 slice cheese pizza S: LS oatmeal, 2 stuffed clams, 1 T Blue Bonnet spread, Nature Valley almond crunch bar

Ooooh...my catty side came out at that meeting, did i tell you? 
I went in all cheerful and ignored her for awhile when she entered then when I greeted her it was all nice and drippy sweet. She was very cool and then dismissive so I just smiled more and walked away. Was my usual cheerful self with everyone else...didn't let her ruin my fun evening! Leaving I hugged and bye-bye'd folks and didn't say boo to her. Felt good, I'm ashamed to say!
The car part was an mass air flow sensor and $$$. DH put it in as well as a bunch of other maintenance stuff...new sparkplug wires and junk. What do I know... My good old baby is running again just like before. I sure missed her!
Making that cheesecake tonight. Last night I made a sf pumpkin pie for the family and they snarfed it down right away. You'd think it was going to be the last pie they'd ever get the chance to eat. Made me laugh!
Cold and gray here today, I have been drinking tons of coffee and tea...a stew sounds yummy for dinner. Hmm...
The psychiatrist is a great idea and I wish I could go to one too. Seems like my relationship with food and emotions will never ever be right. Why in the world does it have such a death grip over our self-esteem?
I agree with Ro, you probably aren't stretching your pouch but overfilling your intestines. I do that a lot on those uber-munchie days. Especially since I gravitate towards higher fiber things that will allow me to just keep on going...popcorn, fruits, etc. There's no way I could be a grand overeater if all that was available was chicken breasts.
Hang in there and stop mentally beating up my Mini Me pal, ok? I would never let anybody say the mean things to you that you are saying yourself, just remember that and tone it down when you are busy being hard on yourself. I try to keep you and everybody here in mind when I tend to slip into those negative thoughts. You'd never be that mean to me so I try not to either. So you too, ok? HUGS!!!!

Congrats on the great loss this week! Woot woot!!!
Wacko week for me and no time to post on Wed or Thurs. I did weigh in though (well, I do every day!) so at least I can post what it was.
HW: 268
SW: 230
Lowest: 130
LW: 144
CW: 143 Yes!
Can'****ch Biggest Loser and most good tv because I have so much to do in the evenings before going to bed so early. No Tivo in my house. Don't know if it would motivate me or not. Sometimes I watch weight-loss type shows on Discovery Health on the weekends and they don't always do much for me.
If I could have a personal trainer that would be awesome!!! My daughter is majoring in exercise kiniology (sp?) with a double major in science (don't know if I have that right...she is just declaring it today) she wants to be a personal trainer and nutrition therapist for sports-related concerns. I'd love, love, love it if she'd be my trainer. She could kick my butt like no one else and would probably know just how to get past any excuses I might throw out there.
Keep making those great choices and have a great weekend!
Hugs,
Molly
Oh chocolate cravings!!! Why oh why does chocolate seem to be such a wonder drug for soothing us in times of worry and stress and why do we have to feel such guilt about it? That sucks! Good for you resisting that in-town cone and was your fudgesicle fest with nsa or regulars? Does that matter? The numbers aren't that drastically different, I think. My mom who has been on a diet since I can remember, always used to say that fudgesicles were a much safer chocolate 'fix' calorie-wise so I don't have as much guilt over them as I'd have with a cookie.
Sorry that you have to deal with DD...we don't have them here in Spokane and it sounds like that is a very good thing. You were very brave to meet your friend there when it is such a dangerous place. Even with all the physical and emotional stress you are under now you came out of that experience with great results. Way to go, Ro Ro!
Remember the Gene Wilder movie 'Young Frankenstein'? So often I think of the scene where Marty Wilder (Igor) is telling the dr. the name of the brain he stole "Abby something...Abby Normal...uh, Abnormal'. It makes me smile and I think of myself of Abby Normal as a cheer-up. In the end of that movie, the monster with the abnormal brain ended up being a pretty cool character.
We all will too.

I did modify my plan today and had half chicken breat with dijon mustard. My little elderly neighbor had leftovers and offered me some and of course I jumped on it. So the PB will be my snack instead of the egg. Got be able to adjust things as things come up right?
I have never worried about fats either. I use real butter but very rarely. My attitude is: if I am going to eat it it has to be darn good or it just is not worth it. I never counted carbs either. I did do protein first and/or protein w/ carb when I had them. I usually don't have the graham crackers, don't really care for them but I want to have PB (I am addicted).
When are you going to get the fact that we on THIS mb love you and ACCEPT you during times of stress and gain too and not just when you are doing 'great' and cheering the rest of us onward and upward??? Girl!!!! Just because you hit a scary number does not mean we are going to turn on you. No way! My red flag number has been revised upwards a few times here recently and I think that should bother me, yet I'm trying to practice more positive self-talk and keep it loving and positive. You try to do that too, ok?
This week I got a pretty good thinking turn-around when I got my biopsy results back and then researched the polyp type they found. I've wasted ENOUGH years feeling jipped because I can't eat like society tells me to eat and look like they tell me to look. Scr*w 'them'...I'm going to make myself happy with what i need to eat and do and the way i need to live to maintain my health for the rest of my life.
Let's keep struggling together and never giving up!
Big hugs!
Molly
