It's Whacky Weigh In Wednesday

Good Morning Everyone and welcome to Whacky Weigh In Wednesday!

I got woken to a strange sound this morning...RAIN!!!!!! I know it does not take much to wake me...but it is not very often it rains in the desert. Okay so the weatherman got it right this time!

So its humpday, WWW and the day before Thanksgiving. You all know the drill....spit the numbers out there....how much did you lose this week....if you gained...no biggie...get yourself back on track...how do the clothes feel? It is getting close to the end of the year and Steve has been keeping great records of massive WL this year and he will posting the grand total for the New Year....wow I can hardly weight!!! (okay wait).

I know a lot of you newbies are probably a little freaked out about your first big pig   out holiday with your new pouches. Don't worry and don't indulge. Trust me you will get great satisfaction when everyone is laying around stuffed to the gills in misery and you...well you will be buzzing around feeling great being the perfect hostess or host...or even better yet...guest.

Holidays are not any longer a food fest for us....what I like best is that I get to truly enjoy them and remember what they are for and not have to be in a food coma!

So you all have a great day....I am on vacation until Monday...yippie!!! Stay safe on the roads....people down here do not know how to drive on the slick roads!

PEACE OUT!!!!  

good morning janine and cali crew,
i'm up way early too..it's only sprinkling here.. well i have to say i had another wow moment when i went to the thrift store , i got some pants to try on and non of them fit. all the pants swam on me.. i was so hoppy for not being able to get a pair of pants...it feels so good being in a smaller size..
my weight loss this week is 1.5lbs lost 2 more pounds and i will have lost 40lbs..i bet i'm the slowest loser on this post..
well i have been thinking should i tell my family that i've had surgery or should i keep it to myself for right now.. i'm affraid if i tell everyone that i'll get negative feed back.. i have a cousin that has her nose way up in the air, total snob..i was just thinking i'll wait til the new year.. i don't know .. what do y'all think??..
well i hope everyone has a great productive day!

p.s. i'm still waiting to be approved for a place to live so if you can pray for me or send positive feeling my way i'd great appricate it.. thanks

Lisa,
Here is my humble opinion. About surgery.  For many it is a difficult choice to share that kind of thing.  But, sometimes we are going to hear what we really don't want.  It is your business why you had the surgery and it is what it is.  I personally would tell them.  They will notice something the way you eat too.

Hey busy lizzie.....what do you have going on for the T-day....was going to wish you a ho ho ho....but I forgot...it is a gobble gobble gobble!

Have a great day my friend  

Janine,
Good Morning.  Well, the plan tomorrow is go to to Phillip's girlfriends parents.  Hell, I have never met them but the kids really want us there.  Phillip also volunterred us to bring the bbq turkey.  Can you imagine that one.  OMG.  Well, we have never met these people before but we will go.  I think that these 2 will make an announcement soon, not know but within the next few months.  THe thing is I really do like her.  Then my hubby said we were invited to his sisters house on Friday for thanksgiving. I do not want to go at all.  I told him that we are busy.  There are really young kids and a newborn and I do not want that craziness right now.  I am hoping for a nice lonnnnnng bike ride and we don't go. I do not want to travel I just do not feel like being social.  Of late I have become somewhat antisocial.  I just want to spend time with Chuck right now.  Things have been so stressful that is all I want to do.  Stress between work, home etc.  I do not even want to shop on Friday and do not think I will. 
As far as Christmas shopping I am done for Lindsey, need to get Phillip something and then Beth. It is some things all of them will use.  Its not useless crap. 
Well, missy Janine you have a wonderful wonderful Thanksgiving enjoy the boys and the babies or almost toddlers.  Give my Sweert Mr. Hunter and smooch from me.  Of Course Miss Ava a big smooch too,
Hugs
Liz

To dovetail on Liz's comment and not to sound like a ***** but I have thought long and hard about it when people say you take the easy way out by having surgery.

I feel we let people say that to us and own it sometimes is because we believe that ourselves. Think about it....just like when we do not like something in someone else most likely it mirrors behavior we have that we do not like about ourselves.

So if you choice to tell your family...tell them because you want to, tell them because you need to...whatever, but if you choose to let them make you feel like you took the easy way out...then you believe you did.

When I first had surgery....I would tell everyone. Then I realized that I had this watch group looking and commenting on everything I put in my mouth. I got sick of it.

Today and nearly 6 and half years later....you know what I tell people when they comment on how I eat.....I tell them that I made a choice to eat healthy. This is not a lie either because I did have to change my eating habits to be a successful wls person.

I am telling you Lisa...only YOU can allow people to make you feel less of a person. Own who you are and be proud of it. Don't let others tear you down for this or anything else. Part of losing the weight is peeling the layers and the ability to speak out with confidence and not be judged.

Take your power back girl and have a good holiday!

liz and janine thank you so much for your post.. i will take that into consideration when the day comes.. i hope you have a great hoiday ...

Okay Missy where have you been? Hiding out? Don't worry about the weight....as you can see...you still have to make choices. Tomorrow is going to rough with all those people and cooking...stick to your basics and you will be happy that you did.

Have a great Thanksgiving my friend!  

Good morning Janine and Cali!

WooHoo! I'm also off for the next 5 days. Well sorta. We're doing full count inventory at work so I volunteered to go in on Sunday for Data Entry for a few hours. The OT will be nice.

For WWW I am down another 2 pounds. This puts me at 159 and I can NOT even come close to remembering when I was in the 150's before. Jr. High (Maybe). Feelin pretty darn good but know I dont need to go any lower.

This morning I take DH to the pain management Dr. for a diognostic injection in his spine. This injection is supposed to be able to tell us if a certain type of surgery will give him any relief. I get nervous everytime they put a needle in his back. One slightes miss and its paralyzed. So please if your so inclined some good thoughts, prayers, fairy dust, whatever that this is successful. I appreciate it. On a brighter note, I get to have Thanksgiving lunch with Sammi at her Pre-school today. She is sooooo excited about it and I can't wait. A good day for sure!

Hope everyone has a great day and stay dry.
Sue

PS. It's pouring buckets here and has been all night.
