WHAT A BUNCH OF CRY BABIES YOU GUYS ARE. COME ON STOP IT NOW.......NAW....ONLY KIDDING....I FEEL YOUR FRUSTRATIONS CAUSE YOU ALL KNOW FOR SURE I'VE BEEN THERE IN THE PAST......GOOD IDEA TO JUST TAKE A BREAK UNTIL THE GREY BRAIN MATTER CAN HANDLE IT......

I KNOW FOR SURE, I FOR ONE WOULD HAVE TO SAY TOOTLES IF THIS BOARD WAS GIVING ME THE BUSINESS........I JUST COULDN'T HANDLE IT........GET TOO FRUSTRATED WITH COMPUTER GLITCHES.  HOWEVER, SAYING THAT I THINK THE MODERATOR IS DOING AN EXCELLENT JOB OF TENDING TO OUR NEEDS AND HELPING WITH THE TRANSITION. JUST THINK OF ALL THE BOARDS THEY'VE GOT.....GADS THAT WOULD MAKE ME QUIT THAT JOB LIKE YESTERDAY!!!!! (((SMILING))))

WELL, I'M OFF TO FINISH MY HOUSEWORK BEFORE COMPANY COMES......TAKE IT EASY LADIES AND TAKE CARE OF YOURSELVES......REMEMBER YOU ARE YOUR OWN BEST ADVOCATE....AND I'M NOT JUST WHISTLING DIXIE HERE.

CHILLY

I am starting to feel lonely as there are so many who are not posting because of problems and frustration.  Alice is having trouble posting and I haven't seen Donna, Beverly, Esmay or Neecey for ages.  I am being a cry baby!

I agree with you Chilly, the Moderator is doing a great job - I can't even imagine what they have to deal with.  THREE CHEERS FOR THE MODERATOR.  Please know that we do appreciate you.

Have a great time with your brother.  HUGS, Shirley

How easy it is to just give in to the whims of the old nature...to say to heck with whatever and do as one pleases....then comes pay up time...is this really what I want...? Obviously, otherwise why would I continue doing the things that I know I shouldn't?,,Pay offs..gotta change this someway....didn't fare well at the lake, or at DQ on the way home...oh well , by now you all know I'm a great talker with great intentions...the actions now need to follow...the ones that lead to a positive outcome...

Feeling a bit angry at ME and for just giving in , yet again... will I ever get this ?

Hugs and love, Karen

WELP YOU'RE RIGHT MISSY MANY ARE JUST NOT POSTING......I THINK EVENTUALLY THEY WILL ALL GET INTO THE MOOD AND SWING OF IT.... SO JUST HANG IN THERE AND DON'T GIVE UP. I'M MISSING EVERYBUDDY TOO.

(((((((((KAREN)))))))))))) - HMMMMMMMMM WITH THAT I'LL SAY COME ON MISSY......DAIRY QUEEN HEY REMEMBER CHOICES.......THEY'VE GOT THESE STAR BARS THAT ARE CERTAINLY ON PROGRAM THEY ARE LIKE ONE OR TWO POINTS IF WE WERE COUNTING POINTS LIKE WEIGHT WATCHERS.....SO DON'T THINK OF DEPRIVING YOURSELF JUST GO FOR THE BETTER CHOICES......BECAUSE THEY ARE OUT THERE........TRULY THEY ARE.  SAYING THAT, I DID FINE UNTIL ABOUT AN HOUR OR SO AGO AND HAD SOME PRINGLES AND THEN MY SON OFFERED ME A CHOCOLATE COVER PRETZEL.....WHO KNOWS WHY I ATE THE PRETZEL IT WASN'T EVEN THAT GOOD BUT I DID IT ANYWAY........DID I HAVE GOOD CHOICES AROUND .....YES, I HAVE ALL THAT FRUIT SHOULD HAVE DITCHED THE PRETZEL AND CHOSE SOME FRUIT / LOW FAT CHEESE.

LIVE AND LEARN......

EVERYBUDDY HAVE A GOOD EVENING.

CHILLY

HI KAREN, DIANE AND EVERYONE HERE - I HAVE THE WORLD WORST MEMORY - I CAN READ POST, AND AS SOON AS I GO TO POST EVERY THOUGHT GOES OUTTA MY HEAD...

FIRST, DIANE, ENJOY YOUR COMPANY

POOZ, LOOK LIKE POSTING IS GETTING EASIER FOR YOU - GOOD JOB WITH THE IE

KAREN, ONE TRANSGRESSION DOES NOT CONSTITUTE FAILURE - G/F YOU FORGET HOW FAR YOU HAVE COME...I CANNOT EVEN GET OFF THE #'S I GAINED LAST MONTH - YOU HAVE LOST TONS...STEP BACK A MOMENT AND REMEMBER WHERE YOU HAVE COME FROM...BEFORE THE BOARDS WENT MISSING YOU POSTED ALL THE CHANGES YOU HAVE ENCOUNTERED SINCE YOU STARTED LOSING - YOU NEED TO REVIEW YOUR LIST...NO LECTURE HERE JUST A SUGGESTION (TIME TO COUNT THOSE BLESSINGS AGAIN...(LOVE YOU))

I AM NOT DOING REAL WELL WITH THIS WHOLE THING - I HAVE A TERRIBLE SKIN CONDITION OF THE BOTTOMS OF MY FEET AND IT HAS FLARED UP AGAIN (BEEN FIGHTING THIS FOR OVER 7-YEARS NOW)...MAKING IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO DO ANY IE (JUST STANDING ON THESE PUPPIES IS A REAL CHALLENGE)...I AM TRYING TO CONTINUE WITH MY WATER AND WATCHING WHAT I AM EATING BUT, ENTHUSIASM IS IN THE HOPPER...(AT LEAST I AM NOT HAVING ALL THE PROBLEMS GETTING TO THE BOARD THAT OTHER HAVE EXPERIENCED - WITH ME ITS JUST TIME)

JUST WANTED TO DROP IN AND LET Y'ALL KNOW HOW MUCH I CARE ABOUT EACH OF YOU - YOU ARE THOUGHT OF FREQUENTLY, IN MY PRAYERS DAILY AND IN MY HEART EVERYWHERE I GO...THERE ARE TIME WHEN I AM DOING SOMETHING OR GOING SOMEWHERE AND YOU WILL POP INTO MY HEAD WITH A THOUGHT OR SOMETHING REMEMBERED FROM A POST..SO GLAD YOU ARE A PART OF MY LIFE - WITHOUT YOUR LOVE AND SUPPORT I WOULD SURELY GIVE UP THIS CHALLENGE...BUT, THERE ARE OTHERS FAR WORSE OFF THAN I AM AND HAVE MADE THIS WORK FOR THEM - I CAN TOOOOO....DONNA

I have never actually chosen to have "treats" here that are wiser choices...just the regular ordinary foods from the list...good idea..then these "whims" wouldn't hit me...and when I allow a healthier choice be it in a treat..I won't feel so guilty or deprived...smart girl....I too have healthy foods here..it was out of my environment that I chose so poorly...yes, it WAS MY IDEA to stop at the DQ....can't blame anyone else...smiling.. I really have been trying to DIET not allowing room for a variety of things other than the regular stuff...which to be honest I tired of ages ago...OK I will go back out to the store and look for VARIETY...thanks..I feel a lot more hopeful now for sure..thanks to this lightbulb moment...you gave to me...again...winking...

Tonight I dealt with another situation as well....this new job...I went over there and sat and watched for awhile what was being done...and chatted with the gal who will be training me next week..I learned that I don't have to do it all on one shift..tee hee...the night shift preps all the food that's cooked on the day shift..how cool is that...? Plus, I will do cover shifts so two on not just me by myself for the mealtimes...One serves the meals, the other the till, salads, and soups, desserts and drinks...again how cool...lol..

I had myself so wired up over this and it wasn't even the way I thought...tee hee...so this has taught me to check things out more....smiling...and can certainly be applied to my WLC journey too, as I put myself in a box..where there was water, IE, and foods from the list, leaving NO room for variety and change...Oh my, such insight now...can you see me radiating in hope again..? winking...thanks g/f..and be careful to not eat too may of those "company ladened foods"...lol...Hugs and love, Karen

Thanks Donna, I needed that...smiling..... Yes, I am indeed very blessed, and need to have an attitude of gratitude again...how quickly it slipped away amidst my foolishness...Sorry you are suffering so with your tootsies girlfriend...you surely have had a few tests and trials come your way...must be because you are doing something mighty and right...for the Lord and others....winking...Do they hurt in the pool? Wonder if the chemicals in the pool are making them flare up more... will be praying for healing sweetie...Glad you aren't having trouble on the boards , so many are...I was until today when they sent me a new link...now the only thing is when I go from board to board I still have to log in...but that's a small price to pay for all the wonderful friends I meet here and are with each day...smiling.. Have a wonderful weekend kiddo...((((Donna))))

Shirley, I too miss everyone, even if they emailed in the times they can't post would be nice too...we need them and want to be there for them too...smiling...  Hopefully, they all get the same letter I did from Dr Phil so there access will be easier... Was going to call you tonight but got home too late...smiling...maybe Sunday..I work my last Bingo at the Center tomorrow....smiling.... Have a great weekend hon...(((((Shirley))))))

Hugs and love,

Karen

  Hello again to all of you wonderful ladies. You who are having trouble getting on and posting, please hang in there. I have not had any trouble posting, once I found out how to do it.

  I have been out looking for a car for the past two days, I finally settled for a HYUNDAI SONATA. I chose the champaign color, four door, power almost everything else and I am well pleased with my choice. This is the first time I bought a car by myself. My DH was always there before, after he passed away my oldest son went with me to buy my last car, so I thought it was time for me to make my own deals.

  Shirley hang in there I think most will eventually come back on line.

  Karen like Diana said Dairy Queen does have some really delicious low fat ice cream.

  Reen I am so sorry you are having so many problems with the board, but you will conquer and win.

  Diana you are so positive and such a dear with all your encouragment for everyone. Did you get you recliner replaced?

  Glad you are back and posting Bev. Molly 2 sounds great.

  Welcome to all the new ladies on board, I hope you are all doing well on WLC.

                                             I CARE!  Love & Hugs, Rose 

sorry to hear about your feet.bless your heart,I can imagine how painful that must be for you.

your always in my prayers sweety.take care of yourself.

Vickie
