ZOMG Work has been

me lately!!
Sorry I have been away my friends...I have been working so late....sux major!
Hope 
welcommmmmme

I am so happy that you joined us and so glad that you shared your story with us. We have a lot of similarities ...you and I. I also got deliciously thick and never really thought much about it. Like you, guys are still crazy about me even though i am plump, but I do not like the attention at all. I remember one time this guy was trying to talk to me and i literally ran from him

My sister later told me he asked her "what's wrong with your friend?"

Ahdunno, I'm not shy at all but I like when they stay away from me.
You sound to me like a Supermom...I love supermoms

But yet you are so much more. In my opinion you are an incredible woman and I commend you on being able to quit smoking at a time like this. I am sorry to hear that you and your husband are separated and I truly hope that things work out the best for the both of you.

It's not easy everyday, but the sun will shine again, the light within and the light without. I have confidence in you, and if you have read my posts, you will see that I am pretty direct and I do not say things I do not mean.
I do not have any children yet, but I have flirted around with the idea of having 5 :-D I like the idea of playing with them and having them climb and crawl all over me until I am exhausted LOL One of my friends went out of the country and had me take care of her boys.... I was 26 at the time and they were 18 and 19 LOOOLOLOL I loved it. I was cleaning and cooking for them and they were hugging me like i was their mom and telling me their problems. LOL too funny. They also took the car one night when they thought i was sleeping, but that's another story
I do not think there is anything wrong with your children inspiring change in your life, it is part of the reason you are a good mom, but I totally understand what you mean about doing things for the benefit of yourself. I have spent most of my life taking care of others and neglecting everything about myself and just started to live for myself a little more.
It has only been very recent that I have been feeling balanced and patient with myself. I am not rushing my weight loss anymore and I accept that it will take some time to lose it. I am 276 with a quite small body frame...people always guess my weight at 170. I am aiming for 135 even though it is above the recommended weight for me.
This thread is full of wonderful people with refreshing perspectives on life. I was a little down last week when I ate some fast food and really with the help of the good people on this thread I was able to bounce back. So welcome to our cool crew

Feel free to share your ideas and your journey with us...I love being a part of success

Oh and don't worry about the spelling, English is not even my first language, Typo is ;-)
Nataliejo thanks for the congrats on my 2lb loss and congrats to u as well :-D Another pound bites the dust :-D Sooo nice to hear you have another date planned. Love is in the air!!!
Ali I am the same way about purses...I can only buy them if i love them, but that day I bought that purse because it was the best one there and i wanted to buy a purse lololol Definitely take pictures of yourself in the red dress. Model! lol I take so many pictures of myself its crazy. On Sunday I took over 60 pictures ZOMG there ought to be a law. I looked back over them and I like only 5 LOL but as I was taking them, I was thinking each one was so good. I really need some serious help LOL
Kevi Don't worry too much about the weight gain, with the way you exercise I do not think it stands a chance to remain on you lol
Well I think I've exceeded the emoticon limit...It's a good thing they do not have a text limit :-D I'll try to pop in again tomorrow if I do not fall out sleeping. Take care everyone. Much love for tomorrow and best wishes of carrot sticks and spring water.<3<3<3 <----these are hearts
