OT - Share your random thought of the day.

The weather is going to be nice for the MEA weekend camping trip. thank the Lord.

Never give up on a dream because of the time it will take to accomplish. The time will pass anyway. Wouldn't you rather look back with pride as to what you have completed than with regret over what you could have done?

One more thought. I need to lose 10 lbs before surgery and have lost 4 worried about this camping trip. I have always associated food with camping hope not to gain the weight back it will be a real challange.

Tim,

Camping IS evil with regard to snacking!  But don't give in to it.  You do NOT want to get to the hospital on the 12th and be sent home because you didn't lose those 10 pounds, right?  Let THAT be your motivation!  NOTHING, I repeat NOTHING tastes as good as thin feels!!!

If you must snack, take protein-based snacks, or fruits and veggies.  Ramp up the exercise - go HIKING!!  Counter-act every "evil" thing you eat with some kind of calorie-burning activity!  Just minimize the carbs, 'cuz if you're not eating them, your body has to burn your "stores"!

YOU'RE GONNA BE FINE!!!  Even if you do gain a few, you have PLENTY of time to lose them once you get back - those liquid diets are AMAZING that way!!!

I have a shameful admission to make:  I am secretly thrilled that WLS has made me gassier.....good thing I walk a lot.

                           I just - well, I would never...    Wow.

That was a test to see if anyone was paying attention and it was both random and, um, odd.....you passed. 

I DID NOT!!!   IT WASN'T ME, I SWEAR!!! 

WOW!!  That's a  new one!   Of all the things people are grateful for WLS for, being gassier hasn't been one of them!!

For a long time, I carried the tiny little Glade air fresheners with me.  I'd be spraying as I quickly left the area!

I'll make sure I don't sit by you, RP, when we meet!  

I had a weird random thought earlier today.  While taking a walk I saw a guy spit on the sidewalk.  I have never in my life felt the need to spit on the sidewalk, ground, whatever....Do men have more spit than women?  You never see women spitting.  What's up with that?
