I feel so terrible, I had my dog in the back of the car today, and his head was out the window when I pushed the button to close it, I pushed the wrong window button and practically strangled him. OH. MY. GOD. What the HELL is wrong with me...???

You've got to be fucking kidding me. You're kidding right? The dog you saved? The one for whom you will do anything? I'm betting he goes to the doctor more often than you do. I know for a fact that you know more about supps that will help four-legged-furry-loves than you do about the ones for yourself.
Do you know the indignities my dog has to suffer every single day? She likes to go everywhere with me. (not sure what that's about. I keep trying to explain she's just going to sit in the driver's seat staring at the entrance to the store, but she doesn't listen.) And so she does. And I like to drive fast. And sometimes it ticks me off that she doesn't know how to sit, or position herself when I'm jockeying for the space at the light. Ya' know? (Yes, I have issues that bac has not helped with.)
So she tumbles around a bit. I know, I'm a bad dog-mom. she should be in a harness. She shouldn't wait in the car. whatev. It works for us. She'd hate a harness and I'd hate putting it on. Just sayin. I bet you have a harness.

You are so damn hard on yourself. There is not a damn thing wrong with you, not ONE, that getting rid of the bitch-beast won't fix. And I know. You've got your eyes on the goal, and I think it's fair to say that it won't take you as long as it's taken beatle. :H
(But don't tell her I said so. Love you too beatle, and no doubt it's just around the corner.)
So here's the thing. You are not in fact fat. You are not in fact bald. You are not a bad person. You are certainly not stupid. You have a disease. That's it. All other things are false. That one is true. Quit beating yourself up. I'll do it for you when the time is right.

I'm thankful that I don't have any of that guilt stuff going on, Catholic or otherwise. But apparently there is such a thing as a happy catholic stereotype in the Netherlands. I suggest you tap into some of that. Ask Low or Rusty what it is, because fuck if I know.

And you can always drunk dial me. what's up with the inability to get text messages?

Ne, you are on a roll, woman! Keep a tight hold on that gun, don't let it go off!

Yes, that dog, but I do the same things you do, except you don't strangle your dog with the window, I bet, do ya? No harness, but I did buy a car based on the dog-friendliness of it. I drive like an old lady with him in it.

I think many of us are hard on ourselves, us Unhappy ExCatholics perhaps moreso? Yes, would like to zap the guilt and self-flagelation, give me a recipe for that.

You can't text me cuz that's a land line, I don't have a personal cell, just a work cell.

By the way, said doggie had a benign tumor removed Friday, and xrays - he has bad ankles like me. :l But his hips are beautiful, thank God. I was starting to freak on that, since he wobbles in back and after losing my old girl xmas.

By the way, went to the bottle store after work today, drove to it and talked myself out of it, :hmade a U-turn to return home. No bottle for me today. WHOOOOHOOOOO!!!!!! Breaking the cycle, lady, breaking the cycle. Today is a good day because I'm AF.

Thank you Karen, and thank you everyone, I feel accountable but also forgiveable here on MWO with my friends. I fear the day you all get bac-healed and leave me here. If that happens, I'll hopefully be able to sail myself, too.

Bruun,

I love, love, love your new Avatar. Bruun is sag face for real? I thought we could always get Botox but then I thought...that paralyzes the muscle and Bac relaxes now a paralyzed muscle.
We're doomed aren't we? Boobs hit the knees and face hits the boobs..:dang:

Oh and yippee on the bottle shop...where are you? I have not called it that in years!
And leaving and/or losing people from this site...I dread that too.
Regards,

Lady

WOOOHOOO indeed!

One day is better than no day. And each one brings you closer to the goal.
Plenty of self-flagellation in my past. I'm sure it'll return. It happens daily still, but it's similar to my drinking thoughts. Fleeting and easily dismissed.

We've read the same self-help books. You are much more well-versed in that. Maybe Doggygirl can weigh in here on that. She KNOWS.

Yes, tight grip, but it's not a gun. It's squishy-juggling-balls. I don't really know how to juggle, yet, so I'm bound to drop one or six. No harm, no foul. No dead bodies, please. (Knock wood.)
bummer about the texting. It's my fave form of communication atm. Wish my grandmother had it. She'd hear from me a lot more often. I need to add her ball to the others for the day. The list grows.
xxoo first MWO friend.
Yay, too about the dog and the ankle and the tumor. Sort of. I am even more convinced of your saintliness. My dog, my beloved, beloved best friend, will have to start actively bleeding before she goes to the vet again. Still, I cook her dinner every night, and not my own...
And I haven't experienced sag-face. And thank for good undergarments. I can't find it but does anyone remember the Bloom County strip? The one where Steve brings home a hot woman and she pops out her contacts, takes off her wig and unzips her skin to reveal Bill the Cat? Ha. That's me. I'm going to have to spend the next hour looking for it.

Thanks Lady,

Isn't it nice to be able to share our darkest secrets and LAUGH about them in company of people who relate, who totally understand? I so appreciate that!!!! xxoo

:new: (on the titting thread anyway!)

YEEEESSSSSS!!!!!!! I hope I can sneak into the meds section and just tell you how much I love your humor, and how much grander of a doggy lover you are than me, and also CONGRATULATIONS on your AFness yesterday. I read your post about going to the bottle store and then going home empty handed. I remember so many times sitting there in my car. Many many times prior to 5/22/08 where I caved. A few times before 5/22 where didn't. Many AFTER 5/22 where I didn't. (thank the dogs for THAT!!) I can relate. Not caving while you are just sitting there staring at the door is a VICTORY!!!

I'm also happy that your doggy's tumor was benign. My old beagle has a ton of those fatty benign tumor things. I'm a bad doggy momma because I don't even have 'em checked any more.

How's your BP today? Hope today is a good one for you.

I'm thinking about botox for my permafrown. A few more years and I might have mustered up the necessary courage for that. But by then the need for a boob lift will probably be a higher priority. Life. Decisions Decisions.

Anyway, hope you don't mind if I stop by your thread now and then!

Bruun--

HUGE CONGRATS on the AF day despite stopping at the bottle store! That's progress, girlfriend!

Don't feel guilty about the dog. You're a good doggie mommy. And good on you for getting the tumor thing taken care of! Poor pup sounds like he's grieving, poor guy.

At least the dog was on the right side of the window! Otherwise you would have had to keep him pinned there while you stopped the car, and just let him drop to the ground when you opened the window.

Hiya, fellow dog lovers. (and bleep) :H
Doggygirl, the list of things that only a plastic surgeon, and a skilled one at that, would need to work on is long.
Nice to see you around. I'm about to head over to your neck of the woods and see what nuggets of wisdom I need to start my day. That and see what foamfollower has posted in jokes recently. That guy cracks me up.

Bruun, hope it was another good night, but if not, we're still here.
I have actually closed her head in the window. yikes! But truth be told, I drive pretty carefully when she's in the car with me. I suppose I was trying to make a point. But I hate it when she doesn't brace herself! She's smart enough to know that the turn signal sound means something's coming. It's made me much better about using my turn signals!!!

Hey Hey Y'all!

Yes, Rusty's right, DG, you are welcome anytime. I read your posts and know you have alot to offer. In fact, I think NE or Beatle or Isolde told me you were a genius on supplements or something else. Fess, up, tell us your golden tales of healing!

My bp is okay, I've been out of town since O Dark:thirty, early in the AM yesterday. Just back now, tonight. It's Hump Day night.

Thanks Serenity, bleep, Ne, Lady. Serenity, thought about you every time I put my do not disturb on the hotel bedroom door, it said Tranquility on on side, Serenity on the other. In honor of you, I showed the Serenity time each use.

Lady, yes, sagface really happens. I feel five or more years younger since I went back down from 80mg. I'm starting to have little pooches (as in skin, not dogs) around my jaw line, so you could say I'm naturally sagface, but the bac definitely made it all worse. And I am a friend of the Toxface, just so long as you don't freeze your expressions. Good for crows feet, or if you have permanent frowns that scare small children. Have it done three times and you'll likely find you don't need it anymore.

I cut my boobs off when they hit the knees. They were oversized and I felt like a cow with udders. Insurance helped pay, so now I have nice smaller and more optimistic looking boobs. My old ones insisted on staring at the floor, it made me crazy. Plus, they wouldn't let me run or do anything athletic. Like wearing lead boots.

So enough with the TMI, I guess coming to this thread you know to expect it on occasion.

Update for the last two nights. After AF day where I avoided the bottle completely, and thanks for your encouragement and shout-outs, YAY!!!! Last night at the big dinner/awards thing, I did have four or five glasses of wine. Tonight I had dinner with a friend on my way home from the airport, and had a glass of wine, no more, no less, and I was fine, didn't want more.

You all help me feel I can do this, and knowing I've gone 6 days at a time, plus every other day OR SO, I've gone AF, which is real progress for me. I lost ten pounds now, which means all the bac weight is gone.

Now, I have to restart the exercising. Love you all, sweet dreams and a good day tomorrow!

ps. Lady, I stole the term "bottle store" from bleep or grommet, forget which fella. I like thinking of it that way, even if it's the supermarket or the drugstore. It's all about the bottle, after all. And avoiding it.

What nice choices. Much better than "Do no disturb" and "Clean." Bummer if you happen to want your room cleaned on occasion though.

Hi Bruun and friends! Bruun you are so FUNNY. I love your sense of humor. My boobs stare at the floor too. (glad to hear yours don't any more!!) Proving that boobs do not have to be all that big to stare at the floor. So you recommend botox for the permafrown, huh? Might have to get more aggressive about getting the botox doc's phone number out of my hair dresser. She looks great sans permafrown. Actually, she looked hot WITH the permafrown. I think I might need more than botox. Whatever.

WOW. I am in complete awe that you went somewhere and had ONE drink. I've never done that in my whole life!!!! :goodjob:

I am not a supplement expert by any means but am a believer and a dabbler I guess. I always look up to Beatle on that stuff. I really do believe that the sugar monster is a very close relative of AL, and it grabbed me hard last summer. I never gave a rats behind about sugar until I quit drinking. Stayed away from it for a long time, so had no idea about the connection other than "in theory." Wow - it was BAD.

In December I read The Diet Cure by Julia Ross which sent me back to my supplements in earnest. It's not magic for me - doesn't make me forget that cookies (or al) exist. But seems to take the edge off so at least my "no" button has a prayer of working. My kitchen counter looks like a drug dealers dream.

I'm glad you don't have pooches of the four legged variety popping (or pooping? :H) out of your jaw line.

Happy Friday!

The first time I saw the subject line "titting up" I smiled. Then when read about the breast reduction, I laughed out loud.

You have a cool sense of humor, Bruun.
