Hi From…Wait where am I today?

[MsManners]

Ok I have a little baby weight to lose. The problem is the babies are NINE now and I can’t really pretend that 267 pounds is baby weight…unless I am carrying an elephant.

I work in an industry where size 2 is “fat” and as a size 24 I guess that makes me as big as 12 people, which is a little more depressing on paper than I had hoped.

Anyway, here I am. I have been on induction for 12 days and lost 10 pounds and 5 inches around my waist. I am motivated, not having any cravings, missed out on the carb flu (thanks to the real thing) and am feeling pretty positive.

Glad to be here to suck up everyone else’s trials and errors. With some luck, pretty soon people won’t look surprised when they see me in a dress and ask when the baby is due and I tell them……. nine years ago….

Hi Razzle,

I was sitting in a pub restaurant in London last three weeks ago enjoying a plate of lasagne (pre-Adkins) when this stick figure of a waitress let out this yep and flailed her stick arms around sort of screeching at me “OMG! When are you due? I’m pregnant too!” I was both surprised and embarrassed as she continued….”I’m five months now!”

Now I looked at this woman and would have thought.... malnutrition? maybe…scurvy? possibly ….but five months pregnant? Come on now. Where is the baby? Did she rent out someone else’s womb? Because concave stomach and 5 months pregnant did not compute….

Anyway, I told her “I’m due right now” and left.

Remind me never to go back to Anne Harvey where the sales woman said, “Oh that A-line dress really camouflages your “problem areas”

So it came down to Adkins or a trip to Omar the tent maker for my next frock.

How did you get your diet tracker thing to work? I keep getting an error code.

Hi Jaybee

Size 2 is essentially a wire hanger. I mean some of these women, when they turn sideways you completely miss them. Well except for their hard little jello mould fake breasts that seem to sit on their collar bone.

Why would you want your breast way up there? I mean I don’t want mine the way they are which is essentially knee warmers but it seems that the opposite is a bit extreme too.

What I find fascinating (in a Coney Island freak show kind of way) are the women who are a size two but get 40DD implants. What keeps them from falling over? I can hardly manage mine and I have a counter weight in back.

ROTFLMAO. I can remember swimming earlier this year. I was in a freinds swimming pool and I had bought this 100 dollar contraption of a bathing suit. It was one of those girdle in the middle kinds.

I was swimming around with a bunch of my freinds and enjoyng myself when out of the corner of my eye I saw this looming shape coming up behind me. I playfully screamed out in surprise lurching forward to get out of the way of my pool predator in this fun attempt to dunk me..........then I realized the looming creature that snuck up on me was my own a**.

It has been awhile since I did the ticker but I remember that you do not need to copy and paste the URL. It does it automatically if you use the ticker site given on the board.

It tells you to copy and paste it.....its a nasty trick. LOL

He was just laughing with us! A barking dog I can handle. My neighbor starts to make noise at 6:30 am every Saturday. By 7:30am he is mowing his lawn.

ONE OF THESE DAYS!

Does this not annoy everyone? He must have a thought occasionally that this is rude to his neigbors.

Thanks for letting me vent, LOL
