Cool. Maybe 'rant' is too east coast or something. I pay no mind to haters, they have zero to do with my weight loss journey. Wouldn't that be funny to think they could make me gain 150 back over their faceless insults ?? HA !!
Dream On
Yes, no one can get us down but ourselves--no matter how snippy or critical, judgmental or
jealous 
I believe very strongly in Grandmaster Flash, Melle Mel and the Furious Five's "Survival" song:
Hold up your head high, think positive
because that's the only way that you can live
don't ever let your thoughts flow like water from a cup
and don't never say that you're giving up

Whew! Yes, I want to eat. No, I haven't touched crackers or chocolate. It is only 2:19pm, though. I can do this! I'll have black tea if I want to munch, then I can have a nice dinner and a drink. YAY! I plan on running in the woods for 45 minutes after work, and curling my hair.
Enter Devil Valerie:
I got a few bottles of wine from work, and was looking for a Port.....to give to Derek, the half-Portuguese-half-Croatian Hottie Bouncer that I'm infatuated with despite my higher reasoning. He calls me "sweetheart" and I want to do something sweet (not to mention free*cough*). Oooooh just thinking about him makes me....anyway I got a Heitz Cellars Grignolino
for him, just want to see what his reaction is. When I talked to him, he says he's had to fight before. I asked if he has got hurt and he said, "Yeah I've been hurt," "Oh you poor thing!" I cooed. He seemed to appreciate my concern. So I want to show him that I respect and admire his heroic job for my bar room saftey by giving him some wine. I give wine out to people all the time! I figured Grignolino's no Port but it's still a manly type of wine--no Chards for him, no sir! I hope he likes it...or the gesture, anyway. I'm intrigued by him because he never smiles. He has this 1920s gangster air to him and only smirks sexily--no grinning. Jeez he's 6'9"!!! Imposing figure! He always wears a derby hat. Hee hee.
Angel Valerie: My boyfriend is so sweet! Last night he held me tight and wispered, "I love you, you feel so good and you're so sweet and beautiful." Awwwwww! My Honey Bunny!
Anyway, I am very good today and plan on taking Tom's advice and drinking no more than 2 drinks. I'll ask for lemon water afterwards!!!
