What a non-issue.  Who are these imbeciles.  They should all just shut the F up.

I am not alone!

You can wait until your sure. You won't explode.  I repeat you won't explode!  And neither will he.

If the threat of potential death isnt enough to hold you off then nothing we say in CC is going to do it.  Be logical 2 months is not that long a time.  Find another outlet.

All of your annoyances are familiar to me in one way or another.  I can't stand that I have to fight to tie my shoes or give myself a pedicure.  Rolls in the way! 

The clothes!  They have such beautiful things in the regular sizes and so little to choose from in big sizes.  Or you get the waist size you need but the legs are so baggy you look ridiculous. 

For all those suffering from chub rub did you know you can buy chafing stick at most sporting goods stores.  My son has used it and he says it works.

Thank you.  I am re-inspired.  I am going to copy this for myself and make copies for my sons.  They are just finishing their finals and need this.

Keep going MWake. It will change.  You may want to look into facial exercises.  The theory is that you have facial muscles, too.  The more they are worked the more taught your face.   Some people do this in lieu of plastic surgery.  Ive tried this in the past and it does work.  If you combine this with weight loss you'll see the results in 4-6 weeks.  I cant remember the name of the book but I'm sure if you Google facial exercises there should be a few available. 

About the mirror.  Only look in the one you use to shave for a few weeks and then peek.  Im sure you'll hear from people that you look great before you see it yourself.  Hang in there.  We are all fighting the fight.

Make Huevos Rancheros:  You can make scrambled eggs, fried eggs (in Pam of course or a tsp of olive oil) or an omellete.  1oz of whatever cheese you like some black beans(my choice) and salsa.  SO Good. So flavorful.  You can add a corn tortilla baked in the oven til crispy (another tsp of olive oil wiped on both sides}  I dont know how many calories you are on but you can adjust up or down as you need but this can be delicious, healthy, lo cal breakfast.  Try it you'll like it.

Well, Massage Guy straightened out all of us gluttonous out of control stupid  pigs.  Why didnt he just say, stop eating fatsos? 

 Just pour salt on whatever he is selling.

Try drinking metamucil  1 to 2x a day and getting a brisk walk daily.  Drink at least 4 glasses of water a day.  Exercise helps keep you regular and will ease your anxiety as well.  Your appetite will be more regulated as well.  A lot of people swear by the yogurt Activia as well

Oh you know what really annoys me on many group forums?  When people spell LOSE as Loose.  Drives me batty!  I have to control myself not to jump on the computer.  Ugh!

Special Occasions?  Like the weekend?  Friday?  LOL  Best thing eat light and get a good walk in the next day.  Drink some metamucil to get things moving and you'll feel ok in 24 hours.  Try to binge like this very infrequently.  Actually a whole Pizza in one sitting?  Were you smoking pot?  You'll lose weight if you stop.  When people use pot or drink your control goes right out the window.  Not to mention your brain cells.

Another thing to keep in mind is that you lost over 3lbs the first week.  That is 3 lbs less your carrying around.  It is a workout for your body to carry weight around.  As you lose your structural load is lessened so you need to increase your burn and or decrease calories as you go.  Better to add exercise your already on a low calorie diet.  Good luck your doing very well.

I hope your not working at Horton's anymore and I hope the person that put a pregnant person on nights is still working there!  He/she dserves it. 

I hope your son is doing well now.  Thank you for responding

thanks for your response.  It sounds like he has a great schedule worked out.  I need to become more disciplined when I get home at 7:30am and after walking the dog  I must go to bed by 8am to be up by 3pm when my son gets home from school.  Sometimes its hard to unwind before hitting the sheets.  But at my age (48) I need sleep.  Lack of affects everything.  Thanks again

Thanks everybody!  What a great response.  Ive had the hot flashes they seem to have dissipated somewhat.  They lasted about 6 months so I guess I'm lucky! I have heard that some people suffer for years.  Ugh.  I think the perimenopause symptoms started 5 years ago but my doctor chalked it up to anxiety.  They have a model they use and if you dont fit into it then its something else.  I had bouts of low level nauseau off and on for months and my doctor seemed stumped.  I now find out that many women complain of nausea during this time.  Hello!  You get nauseous when your hormones are going wild during pregnancy!  Doesnt it make sense that a drop in hormones may cause the same symptoms.  I never had the HCG test but you know your body and it is showing you whats up well before any test can tell.

I also find that I have bouts of fuzzy thinking or fogginess.  I cant grasp the right word at the right time and cant concentrate as well as used to. 

Another issue is my intolerance for my family's helpless behavior.  You know, cant find their own belongings, cant make their own lunch, expect you to be interested in what they are saying doing all the time.  I guess my Mommy setting is off the station.  Instead of getting help with everything they get an I dont know and a blank stare.  Sounds horrible.  My kids are 15 and 19.  I dont want you to think i'm Mommie Dearest.

Oh my what a rant.  Thanks for listening.
