Hi everyone.
Well, you all put me to the test with your replies about the OCD and I liked what I read (mostly). I'm going to take your thoughts with me on today's bike ride and try to form a collective answer.
Of course I miss you !!
So what's been going in my world ?? I've been fairly busy and away from the keyboard a bit more than usual. Aaah, the rewards of the social benefits of weight loss
The job front: Ugh !! well it appears a 3-year gap in employment is a bigger obstacle to overcome than I anticipated. Fear not, this falls under 'if there's a will, there's a way' category. I have no present answer to the 'how' part but I'm not panicking. Maybe this is yet another reversal of life plans *shrugs*
The social front: Yes, it's happening. I'm very happy with my decisions presently and keeping my eye on the details. I'm taking a small break from going out for awhile. I was on a turbulent pattern for awhile and now it's time to come back to earth - for awhile, anyway.
The fast-food fast: It ended on July 3rd Yeah, I know... Story is such: I was at a race and we had been drinking all day and night. I did pack good stuff in the cooler (wheat turkey/lean ham sandwiches, grapes, cherries, strawberries, multi-grain pretzels) and lots of Coors Light but a member of our party brought 2 buckets of KFC *gasp* and I scoffed !! haha. I caved in. I guess my streak for driving to a fast food joint is still intact. haha, I'm really grasping for innocence, huh ?? lolol. Meh, I survived the ordeal but I wasn't happy about how many bawk bawks I ate. In reflecting, it taste as good as I remember it and just as disgusting as I remember it. I don't see a bad habit developing out of all this.
My weight front: 200 !!
I promise the picture thread will be done this week coming up. I'm pretty excited about it.
Gotta jet.
BBL.
Peace beautiful people.

Hi Randy! It's great to hear from you and you sound very positive and happy! Who can resist KFC? Seriously....I love that stuff! That is just a small minute piece of your big picture!
I love how you embrace your challenges (job stuff)! I can relate...I think that as I get older and look back and what I accomplished and survived (which is relative to each one of our live's experiences) makes me more determined to "conquer" the roadblocks that get thrown at me now.
Talk to ya soon!

Also, Some of the people posting about OCD seem to not know what it actually is. It is not exactly what it sounds like so if you're not sure about what OCD is/means the check out this link:

heh I have OCD, but it has nothing to do with the weightloss at all. that was sheer determination and kicking some ass.
I used to count steps, i was a cronic step counter lol, everything in 4s, i couldnt not take 4 steps. 1 2 or 3 just wasnt enough, i had to make it an even 4 even if it meant walking in place or tapping the feet
Its not so bad atm, im fine. but i dont reckon ill ever be 'cured'
But again - it has nothing to do with the weight loss

OH BABY! YOU'RE DOWN TO THE LAST TEN POUNDS. HA HA HA HA, WELCOME TO HELL! Nah just kidding, sorry, not trying to be pessimistic, you'll lose them no problem because YOU know how to change BEHAVIOR.
You kick ass Randy, Onederland is stripping down to her thong in front of you!

WOOOHOOO!!!!!
Congratz Bro, you made it, and you beat me to it too, looks like you get the prize. Good job and well done. I have been slacking, er, I mean maintaining for a few weeks now, but I am back on track since I returned from vacation. I have two more weeks untill I hit my one year mark and although I am not going to hit my goal of 190 by them I am still pretty pleased with my results.
See you in onederland (or should it be Wonderland??, LOL) in a few weeks.

Trucker, I'm so very proud of you. Last 10 pounds, weigh to go! I don't know a soul alive that could resist the sweet temptation of Colonel Sanders! Well, maybe a few vegetarians ;-) I would've had a hard time putting down that bucket myself. You're supposed to treat yourself once in a while, right? Glad you're doing so well. Terrific job!! Glad to hear from you, too! Take care!
Oh and is that Primanti's promise when YOU hit your goal or me? If it's me, whoa, we have a long way to wait ... but if it's you, see you in about a month? ;-)

Just peeking in real quick before I'm off for a bike ride. It's going to be killer hot out and I need to get this in today before the beatdown of heat melts me off the seat. I been screwing around here on the net for an hour and the temp. has already gone up ten more degrees *yikes* !!
I definitely have to get back on here and talk to you all about what you've all posted.
Mega-thanks for the forum love y'all. What you all write means something to me, believe me.
Till then, work it ladies !! (and guys)

I had KFC a month ago, first time in at least 2 years! I'm not a fried chicken fan but we were on the road and that's what there was. Anyway I had one of those chicken bowls and it was great. Haven't been there since! You are doing great!! I can't believe your weight loss. Way to go!!

Yeah Beth, true wisdom being written right there. It's kinda cool how the panic slacks off as we age and we instinctively switch over to rationalizing it out.
I guess all those years of reading Mad Magazine has paid off nicely. Alfred E. Newman's 'What, me worry?' has found a home within me
Nice to see you around Jenn, sure has been awhile. Hope all is well in your world. The pics are just days away, I'm just waiting on the camera to arrive.
Thank you my dear *hugs*
That was an Oye !! post if ever I saw one !!
I'm on a obsessive compulsive order
I willed this, so be it.*reads this from the Lotus position*
I'm not sure I'm going 10 more pounds, honestly. My very original goal was 200, I just wanted a 'One' somewhere in there and changed it. I feel like I've completed my task in some ways however this is no time for me to get sloppy.
bring on the strippers and thongs !!
After yesterday's bike ride, I don't doubt I was in Onederland. The 'prize' will be being at this weight in 5 years, now that would be worth hoisting a trophy in the air !!
I get the 'slacking' thing, we have to have some playtime, right ?? I can't see not enjoying life a lil too. I think we've earned it bro. I'll be heading up your way soon. I'll catch you on MSN later about all that.
You doing the biking thing ?? Keep up the great work Fen.

Thank you N.
ah, the bucket eh..
I'm not guilt-laden but I don't really care for that episode either. I just feel like it was date with a cheap hooker and I'll leave it at that
I'm up for the Primanti's anytime !! I wouldn't mind doing the Saturday morning strip district thing very soon. I need some reg-parm cheese badly. I'd gladly do this !! Just don't turn your nose up at this hillbilly !! *teases*
Stay well girl

tytytyty Mechelle !! I never tried the 'bowl' things and to me they look sickening but the Col. is working his evil plan for world domination and I can't stop it. What a rat bastard he is
Hope all is well with you

I am good. I am really motivated at the moment, so we shall see. The move is happening much slower and I am getting sick of that, but life has the moments and if we are blessed we live through them!!
