Lisa's Final Countdown, The Good Days, the Bad, & the Ugly

I have been doing this, too. It's odd how some people don't say anything even though it's obvious. This weekend I got a nice complement from my friend's wife. I hadn't seen her since the beginning of the summer. It's the first real complement that I've received in a long time, so I got the warm fuzzies. A very nice feeling. :sifone:

As far as the saboteurs, I have always taken them as a challenge. See it as an opponent and it's easier to resist. (Yeah, bring on your worst, I can take it)

That's awesome :) I'm sure alot of people notice but so strange how some people are uncomfortable or weird about saying something. I'm glad she said something...I know how good that feels when it's sincere.

And as far as saboteurs, I usually see them as a challenge too because when they offer food it just makes me more mad and determined. But I've met a different kind....I don't talk about my weight at work because one person there will actually say she doesn't see any difference but then says "oh maybe its because I see you every day". She was saying this the last time I'd lost weight when I'd lost 50lbs. How do you tell a person who's lost 50lbs that you don't see it? And she'd say it alot and she does it on purpose...especially when she's in a bad mood she says things to people that are disguised cut downs.

She has to be the worse case I've even seen of doing this on purpose and even though I knew she was doing it to be nasty it still gets to me. Plus after her comments if I brought it up and anyone did compliment me I didn't know if they were humoring me or not to be nice. So now I'm able to post here my success and just wait for others to notice then I'll know I'm getting the real thing.

Anyway I really have to find some time to catch up with everyone and I feel bad about it considering how everyone still checks on me anyway, lol. But this second I gotta go get some food before I chew a hole in my keyboard. It's 3pm and my 200 calorie breakfast wore off ;/. I keep forgetting to eat or get busy....what a weird new problem :D

I guess I should count myself lucky that I don't have to deal with people like that. the only road-blocks I get are the "enable-ers." the ones that say "oh it's okay if you skip today's workout, its' not like you need to change anyways"....that drives me nuts. or even worse the "go ahead and have more to eat, you can't possibly be full already" :ack2: my family is famous for that one. doesn't matter how much I had the first round, it's almost treason to skip out on seconds. :banghead:

Yeah, my family is famous for that one too. Usually it's accompanied with, "are you sure you don't want another _________ " (insert alcoholic beverage of your choice here).

I mean not that they drink or anything, but I remember an all weekend party involving about 30 - 35 family members and assorted friends. We reserved 7 kegs for the weekend and had to call around to a few different stores to find #8 when we ran out...
 
I think Jessie's family will just be happy I'm not doing low-carb anymore and running around asking what's in everything, lol. But they do offer glasses of wine....not a temptation for me cuz I think it tastes nasty.

So I'm a bit bummed because I have to change my ticker. But my calories have been good and I know this time last month I gained weight from water retention....good ole TOM. So I'm going to try not to stress too much about it. At least this month I'm down a pound instead of up 2 like last month. I was really tired and felt crappy yesterday too so I kinda figured something was up since I'm not doing anything different.

Before I knew the scale was gonna go traitor on me I rewarded myself yesterday for 30lbs :) I had been at the mall the other weekend with the girls and this woman in a kiosk in the middle aisle accosted me and buffed ONE thumb nail to show me her product...that cost 70 bucks. So I've been walking around all week with one buffed nail and it was bugging me. So I went to Sally Beauty and got two of them....for $2 each! The lady laughed when I told her about the mall and said yea she'd heard they were doing that and what a scam.

I also bought some self tanning lotion. Sounds weird I know but sometime in the last ten years or so I've sprained my ankles a few times and the bruises came up really dark. When it healed it left these brownish spots behind that keep spreading and now are on my ankles and down my feet. I'm self conscious about it so I used the tanning lotion on my legs, ankles and feet and it's helped them not show up immensely because normally my legs are glow in the dark white. Oh and I did a pedicure and buffed my toe nails too, lol. That's why I bought two of the buffers.

Being heavy I rarely take time to do anything for or to myself appearance wise. So I've started doing more things to feel less frumpy and more good about myself as rewards. And when everyone said I looked younger from the weight I lost it made me so happy :D Because I know how old I was looking and felt like an old frumpy fat house wife. I've never done this before but I now find myself imagining what it will be like being at lower weights and eventually thin...I guess because it's finally sinking in that I'm going to get there :D I've never believed it before no matter how much weight I'd lost. Maybe that's partly why I never kept it off.
 
Hey Lisa, I had a traitorous scale today also. It must be put to death... hanged until dead...

Yeah alright, maybe it was the halloween Butterfingers... not the scale.

Oh well, I'm off to go sweat some candy off. Have a top notch day!

Hahahaha, this is hilarious, we have them in my town too. "Oh...yeah, i guess it's pretty shiny. Well, thanks for shining my nail for me..."

Keep up the great diary :)
 
Thanks for posting Sara :) Yea I usually don't make eye contact but this chick was running at me and waving some eye lotion asking me if I wanted a sample...which I never got. The cell phone kiosk is the worst....them yelling at you about your phone. Since when did the mall turn into a carnie atmosphere?
 
oh man, i know!! the malls been getting bad lately!

thanks for stopping by my diary! i love to know theres others out there like me! So what are you doing this weekend??
 
The malls are hell this time of year. Sometimes on the way to the mall, dan and I will think of funny or snooty things to say to the people at the kiosks so they will leave us alone, and won't tell us the same thing every time we need to walk by them. lol. It gives us a good laugh.
 
Hey, it's good to see you again! I've still been around, here and there, but I'm now starting to get my motivation back, so I will be around a lot more often. You've lost 29.9lbs? Your doing so great!!! :hurray:
