Ohappydaye's Diary

Hey happy........ just think of it this way....

Most men open their mouth and insert both feet. Most likely what came out of his mouth was just a short circuit between the brain and the mouth. On most men there are miles of thought between thinking it and saying it......

hope you feel better.......
 
I know how you feel. I get feedback from people that seems a little over the top on my weight loss. Was I that bad? Maybe I didn't look my best before, but I don't need them to go nuts over my changes.

I'm sure they are all just trying to be positive and encouraging. blah blah blah

Well it sounds like you are ready to move past it, so moving on....

Have a good day.

People really don't expect other people to change and it is awesome the way you are doing OHD. Saturday I discovered one of my friends cut off his ponytail and shaved his beard. I must have stared at him for 6 hours--it was like a different person. You're doing great!

Hey Patty,
That's exactly how I felt, I knew I wasn't looking my best back then, I felt the uncomfortableness of my weight gain. He just kept saying, "look at your stomach, that's a BIG difference, look at your arms, oh my God!" :eek: I guess he meant well, I'm trying to keep HB's translation of his behavior in mind. :p


I'm moving on but thank you guys ever so much for comforting me....means a lot. **FREE HUGS TO EVERYONE**
 
Only One Pound

Hello! Do you know me?
If you don't, you should. I'm a pound of fat.
And I am the happiest pound of fat that you would ever want to meet.
Want to know why?
It's because no one ever wants to lose me;
I'm ONLY ONE POUND, just a pound!
Everyone wants to lose three pounds, five pounds, or fifteen pounds, but never only one.
So I just stick around and happily keep you fat.
Then I add to myself, ever so slyly, so that you never seem to notice it.
That is until I've grown to ten, twenty, thirty or even more pounds in weight.
Yes, it's fun being ONLY ONE POUND OF FAT, left to do as I please.
So, when you weigh in, keep right on saying, "Oh, I only lost one pound."
(As if that were such a terrible thing)
For you see, if you do this, you'll encourage others to keep me around because they'll think I'm not worth losing.
And, I love being around you - your arms, your legs, your chin, your hips and every part of you.
Happy Days!!!
After all, I'm ONLY ONE POUND OF FAT!!!

"Until the desire to go forward becomes greater than the memories of past pain, you will never hold the power to create again." ~Pastor T.D. Jakes

I will praise thee, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. Psalms 139:14

I am standing on these things from this day forward. I've been dealing with some things for a while now and last night I came across a book that my daughter's father gave me ( the second best thing he ever did for me) entitled "Woman Thou Art Loosed" by Pastor T.D. Jakes. When I opened it up it opened to a page that had the first quote I posted above. I just started crying, then I read the chapter. It is so applicable to where I am right now in regard to relationships (in general, not just with men) and this weight loss journey as well.

I wanted to share these things with you all, because you all mean so much to me. I'm not trying to push my religion on anyone, I do respect your right to worship in any faith (or not) that you so desire. But reading that affirmed for me what M2M was saying earlier.... I AM good enough, I deserve better....from men, in life, in general - we ALL do. I'm NOT too fat, too old, too late - NONE of us are.

*BIG HUG* Love y'all
 
OMG!!!! I'm having my mid morning snack, a CocoaVia chocolate almond snack bar...all I can say is YUMMMY! These things are GREAT!

...just thought I'd share, for anyone looking for a yummy snack that's sinfully delicious but not sinfully disasterous to your diet. Only 80 calories! :D
