Giving up....in a good way!

Quite a flurry of thread-tivity while I was away. :l

Aaaaaaaaaaaand I wish I would just go get some damned peanut M&Ms, since what I'm doing instead is waiting until midnight when everyone else is asleep, then digging chocolate easter eggs out of the back of the freezer and smushing cashews into them. Sometimes after that I'll switch to cheese and crackers and chips... heck, sometimes I start with that.

Don't feel bad about eating, it sure beats the alternative. Sorta :upset:

Why do you have to wait until after midnight to eat easter eggs is it one of those strange american religious things?

I have got two bags of peanut mnm's here, you can come round and Ill share them if you want

Oh, and speaking of Janis Joplin....I wanted to be her when I was little....s'plains a lot, huh???? That or a race car driver!

I loved Janis when I was growing up, Taw. That's why it's funny I didn't pick up on it right away. I guess you're a closet binger, Stuck? The boys are home from school. They get home early... 2:30. I already had to do two homework assignments for the parents, in which I wrote about each of my kids. Oh. My. God. You guys should see my handwriting. It's so embarrassing. My penmanship sucks. It always has. I think it's part of my dyslexic thing, and I'm left-handed to top it off. Anyway, I can only imagine what the teachers will think.

I've been eating more too Taw! The last couple of weeks since I've had my throat thing. It's been crazy and my scale is broken, so I don't know if I'm doing myself damage or not. I'm not underweight, so I don't need to be gaining anything. And I've lost a ton of weight in the last couple of years, so I don't wantto be gaining anything. I think it might be that I've added dairy back a few weeks ago.

I'm off to cook dinner. I won't gorge myself, promise. :no:

This thread is quiet. Maybe they all are and I shouldn't think I said something weird. I was just kidding about the closet binging thing Stuck. I should have put a laughing emoti next to that question. I made the joke since you felt the need to indulge on your Easter eggs and crackers after everyone was asleep.

Hope you're all having a good day. I never gorged myself on dinner last night if you were wondering.

Taw, I hope the office is coming along and things are getting organized.

Morning all!

New carpet and unpacking! Pays to be the Queen Bitch here, my office was done first! Or maybe because I work harder and cannot be without my computer! Let's go with option #2!

I realized that I was eating everything in sight because I was craving a Chicago style hotdog from this place around work. They poppyseed bun, relish, pickle, tomatos, onions, mustard, fries wrapped up with it...nothing else would get rid of that craving. So, D & I had hotdogs from this little stand by our house last night...just as good as downtown! And alas, no more shoveling in of crap!! Yes Bruun, I am supposed to be gaining weight, but not so comfortable with that idea yet. Funny too, because after I got over my eating disorder, I had a 5 lb range I was very comfortable in. With this recent weight loss, I fell below my lowest number and was intially freaked out, but then I got used to it...and now any more weight feels like 10X more than it is...I know, issues!!

Which brings me to while I was unpacking my office today, I found a little plaque that says "I know God won't give me anything I can't handle....I just wish he didn't trust me so much"...a quote from Mother Teresa of all people! I guess if she felt that way sometimes, how are mere mortals like us not supposed to get overwhelmed?

Seems like a fitting quote for us all....all at different phases in this battle, or other battles, or multiple battles....I know we already discussed the God/Higher Power/Buddah, and this is not about that, just maybe we are all right where we are supposed to be!!!

:l, hope it is a good day, All!!

PS, Red, I did gorge myself last night! 2 hotdogs with everything AND cheese fries!! :H

Today is my favorite day of the year to work...practice for the Air and Water show! Well, the Air part is the only part I like...nothing like an F16 formation fly over to make your day! Just got back from my lunchtime walk and saw them a bunch of times! ( I wanted to be a fighter pilot before my dream was crushed when I got glasses when I was 8!) Nevermind that I was walking around like a tourist looking up the whole time!

Even just the sound of them flying over my building.....so cool!!! Ahh, the little things!!

[StuckinLA]

Giving up....in a good way!

OMG Taw, stop teasing with those hotdogs! :H

And Red, no worries I'm a closet binge everything. I used to go home from the bar to drink. But really it's just cravings for something/anything hit late at night when I'm alone, and have nothing to cuddle except my warm fuzzy thoughts

Oh, and the air/water show. I wanted to be a fighter pilot too! Glasses killed that one for me also, and the fact that I don't take orders well enough for the military :H

My mum told me you needed O'levels to join the army and I believed her so I didnt go any further with that, I have always been a bit dim.

[taw]

Oh Space! You are not dim! Your mum sounds like quite a piece of work! My mom's nickname is the Dragon Lady, not to here face, of course, but your mum makes here sound like Mom of the year!

I am sure you can do whatever you put your mind to!!!

[spacebebe01]

My mum certainly does have her moments

I cant say I have any regrets tho up until after my youngest son was born, because any changes before then and I wouldnt have my kids would I, but some regrets since then, that was when my drinking went really bad, in fact really one pretty major regret which changed our lives permenantly.

I was standing around yesterday while the movers were unpacking the truck. They kept stopping and asking me where stuff went. (The boxes clearly labeled, mind you. ack.) And one guy, the biggest one, standing on the truck giving orders.
I got on the truck when he wasn't looking and started tossing stuff at them. "Take this to room #1, far wall..."
That was move number 3 for us this week. (yes, it took three moves to get it all in so I could stay sane in the meantime!) I was tired of it all, ready to be done with huge sweaty smelly men and just get on with the next thing. Standing around is not my thing, anyway.

Ed said I wasn't too bossy. The movers were more than a bit surprised, and therefore just going with it. And it worked. It was the fastest one yet. So cheers to being either #1 or for option #2. Sometimes it REALLY pays to be both important AND bossy. (Tina Fey and Amy Poehler said it best. I'll see if I can find the SNL clip.)

That was all right before one of the movers bent over (ass facing me) and split his pants down the center seam. Sadly, he wasn't wearing anything underneath. Takes plumber's crack to a whole new level. I think I might have seen more of his parts than his girlfriend does on a regular basis. omg. WAY tmi.
