Moderator, can you be more specific as to what is offensive about this post? I edited it and reposted it, and just got the same automated message about "legal reasons." Sorry, I'm just totally confused here.
Tammy, good for you on quitting smoking - I know that's hard to do. Bring those walking shoes to work! I actually did 30 minutes on the treadmill during lunch and feel pumped up now. Unfortunately, I have to go back to work - blah. Raven, I don't think men ever "get it," especially when they've never been through this little journey. My husband can whine about gaining 5 pounds during the holidays, when he has a holiday something going on practically every day from Thanksgiving to Xmas! He'll hop on the treadmill a few times, eat light a day or so, and his 5 pounds are gone, plus a few more. He'll even show me how loose his shorts are getting by sticking in his stomch and pulling out his waist band - grrrrrrrr. He doesn't understand how weight loss can be so difficult! More grrrrrrr. Star, 24 pounds is wonderful! And yes, I definitely know "the look" and want to smash his face in when he gives me that look! My mother is even better at "the look" than my husband - sometimes I'm glad she's a few states away from me! Incidently, she called me Saturday to see if I got her package - another fat book . Sigh....mom, will you ever give it up? I can even feel "the look" over the phone with her.....paranoia maybe?? Kendra, I love Sam's and have tried to stay far away from there! One of my sons wants to go this week....danger...danger...danger... Ash (I decided to shorten your name) - I'm old enough to be your mother! Gah! You have a lot of great years ahead of you. You're career is starting up and I'm trying to get out of mine! By the way, I'm a huge football fan! I try not to think of myself as an "old" 48-year-old....
