she said I was skinny!!

[Peytonn]

this little lady who retired last year that worked where I teach... she subs sometimes now.....

she's sooooo sweet... and reminds me of my aunt... when I first started this job and cried for 2 weeks, she's the one that helped me out so much!

anyway.. haven't seen her since May.... this morning she just gushed about how good I looked, and how skinny I was... (I told her I was only half way there... she said I was going to blow away)...

but it was so SWEET.. she didn't ask me how I was doing it... she was just made my day... (and made me really remember I'm only half way there!

I love when these unexpected things remind and re-motivate me... don't you?

what's your latest 'get skinny' motivation?

Re: she said I was skinny!!

I do have really thin legs... and have on capri pants... so I assured her the ton of blubber was still under my loose fitting shirt...

Re: she said I was skinny!!

it's seriously gotten my mind off cheesecake for now... and reminding me that that WOE works....

I'd been kinda 'down' because I've been stalled for 3 weeks, since school started back.. coz I'm not doing all the physical stuff I did this summer... changing schedules has been rough... I've almost hit the snack machine for a honey bun more than once....

but I'm doing better... bring legal food to work... etc. etc..

and this morning just reminded me that the cheesecake and honebuns aren't worth it!

Re: she said I was skinny!!

that is the bestest high you can get and it was free. Keep shrinking!

Re: she said I was skinny!!

I made a low carb cheescake once... it was awesome.. (more like a cobbler than a cheesecake)...

I used the philly cream cheese, splenda, and 2 egg yolks... and a few blueberries....

(put berries on the bottom of a glass dish and poured the mixture on top)... and baked...

problem was... I couldn't even wait for it to completely COOL... I ate the whole thing.. PRONTO.....

I'm not real good at controlling portions.... even on 'legal' fake sweets....

so I just decided not to make it again.. for a long long time

I think it is great when people notice all the hard work you put into yourself. What a special compliment. Keep up the hard work.

That's awesome Peyton. Same thing happened to me last night. I went to play bunco with my girlfriends that I see 1 time a month. Some of them i havent seen in over a month. They were shocked when they saw me! I LOVE THE WOL!! Of course then came the questions....most of the night was on how all of them need to loose weight as they are all putting bread, chicken fettucini & chocolate parfait in their mouths...UGH! I had salad and some green beans and water. Hehehe!

Re: she said I was skinny!!

cool.... I love these stories where we're making ourselves BETTER!!! she just kept saying 'you look great'.... she didn't go into the 'how'... but if she had... knowing this little lady.. .she would have been perfectly understanding....

yeah.. I used to be one of those that sat around packing in the honey butter slathered rolls at Ryans family steakhouse... complaining that I couldn't lose weight... now i pig out there... on steak and salad... and don't feel deprived AT ALL.. (well maybe a bit when i can't have the cheesecake )
