Lisa, you are FAR too nice!!! I'm sure it will stand you in good stead in the eyes of the big guy in the sky but I promise you that the THIRTEEN pounds I have gained ar enot in the slightest bit flattering. And those photos were all taken at my lowest point (weight wise). Hopefully, one day, I will fit into those clothes again... but hopefully not any time in the near future. This is one situation where I hope things get 'worse' before they get better!
Sasparilla... hope your tooth starts to get better VERY soon and that things start looking up!
Very funny about the raging female vegetable! I sometimes think I'm the l only one who doesn't get dressed up for the dentist. I too just pull my hair back in a pony tail and throw on sweats. Then I get in the drs. office and think, they must just think I'm such a lazy arse for not doing myself up to leave the house. I feel better knowing I'm not the only one who does that. (-:
About the weight gain, yes it's the pits!!! I HATE it. Although I must say I have seen your profiles (Magda & Sasparila) and what beauties the two of you are! My goodness I'm sure a few extra lbs looks wonderful on both of you.
Thanks for all the replies, ladies.
No, I dont have any left to share.. Im sorry.. but while on 750mg of Vicodin, I really don't have control over myself. I'm still on the pain meds.. I woke up at 12:30 pm.. weird!!!!
ANd ladies.. let's just keep in mind the weight we gain is to help prepare our bodies for motherhood (Ok, it's a crock of **** my grandmother said to me, but I want to believe).
Magda..
Im so sorry about your cyst and gaining weight while almost fasting.. these hormones really are ****!!!!! I live in my sweatsuits these days.. all my high heels, tight skrts and dresses are sooo dusty in the back of my closet.
Something that may make you ladies laugh:
When I went to the dentist yesterday.. I was in such terrible pain..slept about 3 hours the night before.. pulled my dirty hair back in a pony tail and threw on the closest sweats I could find.. not really paying attention.. only to notice once I was in the chair under the glaring overhead lights that yes.... I put on a bright GREEN sweatshirt of my husbands and also bright GREEN sweatpants.. I looked like a giant stalk of broccoli!!!!!
What woman in their right mind wears not only ALL green.. but multiples bright greens at one time?????? Well, that would be me.. the raging female vegetable!
YOU CAN'T BUY CHEESECAKE IN SYRIA-A-A-A-A-A... boo hoo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo....
(Although perhaps that's a good thing)
Seriously though, what they call "cheescake" here is some **** sponge cake with jellied fruit!!!
But hey, I admire your ability to react to everything this way.
And I appreciate the weight comment. It's only recently that I finally got it into my head that, YES, we gain weight as a result of all this ****. But even so, I can't help feeling depressed... after barely eating anything but salad and broth for the last FIVE days (and little of it at that) due to being sick, today I found that I have not only not lost weight but gained ANOTHER FOUR POUNDS!
I can literally count the clothes that still fit me on one hand... okay... two hands ... one loose summer dress, one pair of jeans, one (new) skirt, two tops and a few tshirts.
That's IT.
Enjoy your cheesecake and have some for me!
Had turtle cheesecake myself tonight! Felt a little guilty, but hey baby we need to find some pleasure in this wacky journey we're on. If one must die of something better cheesecake than a broken heart!
I'm glad I'm not the only gluten in group. Oops, I'm not calling any of you glutens!!!
You crack me up girl! Funny cuz I felt the same way about a package of Oreos today! Needless to say they are all gone! I'm with ya on this one.
XOXO
oh i forgot something else. besides not having any kind of cake (im not going to be picky right now) there is **** on TV but i have to say i just bought myself a bag of candy corn. hay whats a few more pounds right....I mean its already been 30lbs for me. hope next month is better for all of us!!!
do you have anymore of that cheesecake:(
Ohhh, I hope you do not live near a Cheesecake Factory!!! Thank goodness the nearest one to me is 2+ hours away!!!!!
You are cracking me up! I didn't have to go far to find this post. You know.... since we get everything else shoved in our bodies.... via needles or pills... when will they just make cheesecake pills 1000mg? Chocolate vials where you can pull what ever you need into the syringe and inject it?
Forks and spoons will do for now but science needs to catch up with our needs...
I had ice cream with tons of hot fudge for BREAKFAST yesterday! Isn't that the breakfast of champions?
get the napkins out because I am with you!
Lol, i have the same experience with chocolate!:) Go for it we all deserve a little goo die or 2:)
Oh, just indulge yourself!!! I always do :)
