Damnit! You're right, I should have saved that meme for you! Your Macy's story reminds me of Pretty Woman - big mistake - HUGE!

The gym gazelles!! I love that you shared that with me, it will be my go-to now! I agree - we are our own worst enemies.

Sounds like a great weekend! I've wondered about your answer too. Is it my size difference or am I more confident therefore more approachable? I feel the same though, still humble and especially after the regain/loss.

WTG on the run! I don't know how I would have handled it if a boss commented on my health while discussing a promotion... I love Indian food - enjoy!

Good morning! I am waiting for the sky to wake up so I can walk. Still no HIIT class on Monday due to my trainer's hip replacement. And based on my hip, I'm not mad about that. But after a fairly slow weekend, I am determined to get a walk in this morning. I did a ton of entertaining and feeding people all the way through 8 pm last night, but I did not over indulge once. I was sorely lacking on movement yesterday, with just 5,324 steps. I will do better today.
Today I have a pedi, and then I need to file all the taxes for the Foundation. We are nearly ready to issue the final check! Other than that, I have a short to do list and see a nap in day.
QoTD: I last experienced directed judgement in school. Kids would be say awful things. But as an adult, I was pretty protected and if I was judged by loved ones, I didn't recognize it. I definitely judged myself harder then any one else did. For me, WLS was always about me and never about "them". But it is infinitely easier to move through the world as a small person then wide one.
bite today
B: leftover chicken and cauliflower rice
L: leftover chicken and refried beans
D: Maybe white chicken enchiladas? I have so many leftovers I need to use up, and then I need to restock on proteins!
Peace.

Good Morning Amy and Menuers,
Amy such great QOTD this weekend and you're really needed to save Sundays Meme for me today. I have so many M&M's in the house for the Trick or Treaters and honestly have not touched even 1. Too bad it doesn't reflect on the scale. I also been dry since October 1st and it has not helped either. I know I got to get moving more. I'll make it happen. Just when that is the question.
QOTD: Unbelievable that skinny privilege is a real thing. Since weight loss so many situations I'm just waiting for someone to be cruel, and it doesn't happen. Even my doctors have changed their tunes. I no longer get the side eye walking down the airplane isle. I remember a women treating me badly at the perfume counter at Macy's and they work on commission. I then made her work and demo every fragrance out that fall. At the end I decided nothing was up to my liking. I went in the next day and saw a different salesclerk and ask her to help me. She was kind and I spent $400 on new scents that day as I was checking out the other women came around the corner. I loved it. One time a man almost hit me driving over the speed limit in the grocery parking lot and I flipped him off. He proceeded to spill many awful slangs about my appearance. when he was done all, I said was "Wow your mom should be so proud." This man was in a business suit.

G'morning all!
LOL, that meme. Speaking of thin privilege do you know how many times I admired skinny people at the gym who could move with grace while I was huffing and puffing? But even thin/fit people have their own hangups.
I'm white knuckling this week till Thursday is over. Too many chocolates around and I'm hoping I won't blow it, green couch be damned.
QOTD: I think I was the person who judged myself the worst while I was obese. I couldn't believe I had let myself go that way, so I would berate myself and then punish or sooth myself with food. It was a vicious cycle. I'm sure people judged me too but I rarely heard anything said out loud. I even thought my family was embarrassed by me, so I wouldn't go out with them because to me it looked like I was starving them while eating all the food by myself. Nowadays I walk with a sprint in my step and couldn't care less if I'm judged or not. And yes, I don't feel bad about my cart even if it's full of cookies and chocolate. In short, my berating myself for my weight and my having the thin privilege is all starting with me. I'm not saying outside factors don't count, but the most important person who can pull me down or hype me up is me.
My meals yesterday:
- Coffee + Barebells bar
- Beef sirloin and salad
- Protein float
- Mixture of edamame beans and cancha
- E: supposed to be rest day but walked almost 14,000 steps
Happy start of the week!

Any walking is better than none. If all you can do it to the end of the driveway and back at least you did something. When you build up your tolerance go a little further. Also look for some chair exercises on YouTube or TikTok. Resistance bands and light weights are great for muscle building, but you need to get in your cardio as well.

Good Morning! New week indeed. I'm glad to see that you have planned self care into your week. I had a good weekend with hair, shockwave/chiro, teppanyaki on Saturday and pedicure yesterday with the normal errands thrown in. I need to get a meeting scheduled with the other owner early this week to talk through the process of another acquisition/purchase. Right not, it's set to close 11/14 with their first payroll being 11/22 which is when I'm in universal studios. My hope is that we can roll the one/two days from the first half of November into the Dec 7th but we'll see if that's an option. If not, it'll be crazy the week before I go and I'll be stressed when I'm gone. When we planned the concert, the close date was in October.
QOTD: I am not if I have more confidence now or if I'm treated differently or maybe it's a combination of both? Post surgery I don't feel as judged or that I'm being looked or treated like I'm lazy, I can't really put it into words but it's different for sure.
