I've been known to dedicate 7 of those 8 hours to just sit and 'look at the scenery' yanno 
She won't admit anything. I had a sick feeling about it over a month ago. Sometimes you can just tell when you've been burnt. I resigned to the fact on my birthday that I had to get me a me present and the Shuffle was my choice.
Oh well, we're back in business again

She's 19 going on 31 by way of acting 11. "missing" isn't one of her adjectives, I think the stammering indicates "sold" more than anything.
Pure bliss would only apply if I had that precious SoCal 'scenery' at my disposal.

Hmmm...I'm sure there are some areas with better 'scenery' than others
I live and walk on the edge of an arroyo - and while the path I generally take is on a major road into my town, it follows the arroyo and I have beautiful views of hillsides, deer, coyote, red tail hawks & kytes with the occasional snake thrown in for good measure.
I would imagine the beach might have better scenery for the sitting and watching variety
As for your 19 y/o, does she live with you?

No, she's attempting to live on her own and learning the pains it involves. She's trying, and we don't see eye to eye on her priorities with money but then I was 19 once too. In some ways she's way ahead of me at that age but then I worry about her - maybe too much at times.
I drove the produce belt for 5 solid years in Cali and outside of the traffic, I totally loved that trip and all things Cali. My last trip on I-5 in 2002 I was convinced that my traveling days out that way were over. I'm not sure how you people do that on a daily basis. It's gotta grind on ya at some point.

No - it doesn't grind me - I avoid it
I was born and raised in CA, so I've just learned to adapt!
I live in a fairly small community (small for CA standards) and we are 15 minutes away from the freeway. We're buffetted on two sides by national wild life reserves, so it still feels fairly remote.
When we moved out here in '92, there was one grocery store, one gas station and 2 traffic signals and almost 13K people. According to the sign on the toll road they put in, we're up to 45K people now and a lot more infrastructure. My husband works 5 minutes a way and never gets on the FWY and I only do two days a week when I go to the beach, but then, I'm only on for 20 minutes a shot and it's south of where traffic backs up.
So it's all good
And having been 19, all I can say is, it's a tough time!

T2 Trucker, hang in there with the 19 year old - they never do say sorry for all the stupid crap done as a teenager but its most definatly felt
Im entirely to chicken to apolagise to my mother for all the stuff i used to do as a teenager. But i do give my teenager a bit of leeway for stupidity - so long as he realizes that he was an ass lol

Hey T2,
hows it going???? Long time no write eh!
I like the convo, but to be honest, I am one of those people who believes that there is a lot of mental work to be done as well as physical work when losing weight. I think you have to have your mind in order first to be able to "just do it". I spent the better part of a year (10.5 months) straightening out my mind to do this and now I am.
I agree though, I don't like gimmicks and I don't like excuses. I'm an all or nothing kinda gal.

miss_k, yeah there is mental work, but when it comes down to it you have to learn not to make excuses for it but just go for it.
I have a friend who makes excuses for everything. It bugs me heaps but i cant be her and make her desions for her.
She wonders why she isnt loosing weight when she doesnt do any exercise at all or diet, she just cuts down her sugar a teaspoon or walks 30 mtrs up the road and back twice a week .. its just not enough! But i cant tell her that she just doesnt see or hear it.

That's exactly what I meant though. You have to mentally be there in order to be successful and a lot of people don't get that.
Like I said, I don't accept excuses. It's like if you can't get the lifestyle down, work on what it takes to get to that point (ie. mental work like I did) and then get to the lifestyle. People have to control their minds before they can control their bodies.
My mom is exactly like the person you talk about, but it's up to them to work through that denial and like T2 said, you either do it or stay fat and I guess they'll get it when they're still fat.

I think that would be right up my ally too! Ive lost many a friend by being to honest and brutal :O
But then again though i may have pissed people off , a few have come back a few months later and said "Thanks, it hurt at the time but its really changed my life".

M2M That must be a nice combination being bookended by wildlife parks ( kinda slows the population growth) and not having to use the freeway often.
I guess it's all about location location location !!
F.M.D. I guess this will be the ultimate test of "nothing taste as good as skinny feels". I'm pretty sure we will survive but my culinary skills in crockpot cooking not to mention I have an extensive collection of hearty homemade soups that can make a grown man cry.
There is nothing more I enjoy than making a 12 quart pot of chicken noodle soup from scratch on a saturday morning and watching college football all day while fussing over and skimming the soup and totally filling the house with an aromatic that drives you insane waiting to dig in to a bowl or four.
wishes I'm not so much a person any different than the rest of us on here. I obviously had years of food abuse on a grand scale and had all the 'excuses' in my bag of tricks too. Was I in denial ?? absolutely - because I was cognizant of my obesity and ill health. I secretly rationalized my own death at some point to avoid the reality aspect of lifestyle change. I think we mostly avoid change because we just know it isn't going to be easy.
Mana Honesty can be a brutal thing at times can't it ?? I'd rather deal with an honest hurt than a sugarcoated lie any day.
Kallie I will always stand by the mental aspect of change is the hardest part. I try not to understand people's stodginess for the mental preparation side of commitment, I just verify its importance.
Piney You might be right. I dunno..

Hi ya Hon! I think you're right - in more ways than one, but I'll stick to the conversation posted There ARE many who rely too heavily on gimmicks, excuses, and blame of others. There AREN'T many who just get it done and take it upon themselves to be responsible for THEMSELVES instead of handing off task. I don't see how anybody could have gotten offended by the posted conversation if they truly want to lose weight and do it right. You made many valid points and offered SOLID support to someone who needed it - not just telling what wants to be heard. I for one appreciate the kick in the ass every now and again and I'd rather you ( OR ANYBODY-- PROVIDED they have the knowledge, the experience, and the firm friendliness necessary ) be upfront with me about what I do (in regards to weighloss ) and your feelings on it.
Miss ya T Hope to "see" you again soon MWAH!
