Gotta stop all the negativity. Summer is coming, I better get a move on. I should probably start those rehab exercises for my back, but at least I am slowly getting better. I know I've been lax w/ my posts here since I started working and it's time to change that, but I can't promise detailed diet posts either, I hate those! I aim to do this the right way, balanced and slowly, so I can actually maintain it. Go me!

Posted by: kim

Hi Greek, I'm back at it too, seriously after being almost 4 weeks sitting on my *****, Yup you are right, summer is around the corner, you will do great.

Posted by: greekblondechic

Welcome to my journal kim, I am sure you will do awesome as well, altho I've been "out" much longer than you

Posted by: I'm Trying

TY I'm Trying, Jilly and Premi

Good news! I got offered a position at the company I was temping at, they love me

I had a good workout today, chest tris and 35min cardio. Eating so so..

Posted by: greekblondechic

This week started out so crappy, thinking I was going to be out of a job soon, instead I'm getting hired at a decent salary and benefits. Thank GOD because I can't deal with my dad's bullshit anymore! I have been jumping around all excited, good cardio

No men worth mentionning

Hey Greeky! Good luck with your new journal.

From what I've read, poppy seeds effect drug tests for about two days...and only the VERY sensitive tests.

Posted by: greekblondechic

Thanks Var! That makes me feel better, but I still won't be eating any more poppyseeds til AFTER my test

Where did you hear this?

You would have to eat a HUGE amount of poppy seeds to have it show as an opiate on a test.

If its one of the really sensitive tests (from what I've read), you DONT have to eat a lot. One poppy seed bagel could do it.

Posted by: PreMier

Im sure. But she's going for an interview(where?), not the CIA

Thats why I said...

Ditto!!! Stick with it!!!

Posted by: greekblondechic

Now now boys, fight over me not the goddamn poppyseeds

I'm home from a "fun" night out, celebrating my new job. I guess you could say I had a good time but for a while I was really upset cuz I felt like my friends were getting attention and I wasn't. Luckily, I bumped into this guy I met two weeks ago, don't particularly care for him but at least I had someone to hang out with while my drunk friends hung out w/ their guys. BTW Malibu and Diet Coke is Tasty!

Thanks Pylon and Archangel!!

Premiwemi and var get kisses too

And no I'm not interviewing for the CIA

But still no more poppyseeds til later.

I am tired of going to clubs and getting ignored, wish I was tiny! That will never happen, but I wish I was at least FIT

Posted by: greekblondechic

I will be FIT. Sometimes I just wonder at what expense.

Posted by: greekblondechic

I don't want to be one of those 1-1.5 hr cardio a day girls, naw mean???

Posted by: greekblondechic

Honey check it, u can bring your friends, and I'll bring my friends and we can kick it, is that alright with you?

No questions. Maybe you should think about hanging out in clubs with better lighting...or more straight dudes...

Hey darlin!

Just my 2 cents but *most* men is bars are imature, you know what I mean??

Good luck with your new job. Maybe you might meet a nice man there.

Or try the grocery store or the gym...... gym guys

, well, some of em!

How is your eating going these days?? Any binges? Just checkin

Summer is a few months away. You have lots of time to clean things up. WHat are your stats looking like right now??? You should pm me. You need to set concrete goals IMO. Hey I was gonna have a cheat until I read this in V's journal, by Funky. Its great. I printed it out.

1) How do I feel right now?
2) How will I feel after eating that? The next day?
3) I just started a diet. Do I really NEED to cheat at this point?
4) Is this cheat justified? Or am I just doing it to do it because I am technically allowed?
5) Would this cheat feel better if I say waited a few weeks until I am in this full swing and more deserving of it? It would be more like a reward that way.

Posted by: greekblondechic

Thanks guys, I guess I just compare it to when I was thinner, and anytime I pointed out a guy I thought was hot, I was dancing w/ him by the end of the night, and now I'm lucky if ANYONE dances with me

I want to be lean and toned, not a six pack, but visible abbies.

Thanks Jillybaby, you're lucky you don't have to worry about this kind of stuff, you already have a man. I haven't been binging, but I don't eat all clean either. Unfortunately, not eating clean really helps with not binging. Initially, when I started eating however, I lost a few, and then regained it back over the holidays, I guess I am maintaining now, but with my starting to workout I should be losing soon. I will PM you sweetie. Oh and it's going to be soooooo much easier when I switch departments.. My current office has a freezer full of ice cream!!!!! Oh I also got to lay off the caramel lattes and bagels.

Actually, I'm going to look for those lower carb bagels, any recommendations on brands to try? That way I can fulfill my cravings but not have to worry.

I met a guy in the supermarket once, married. Met guys in the gym, ego-problems. I think I'll probably meet a guy through people I know or maybe at work who knows.

I will pm ya sweetie, but I am afraid to set *REAL* goals for myself. I feel like a failure every time I do, even if I am actually doing well, because I always lose slower than I hope for. So I am trying to stray away from that, and let things just happen.

I am so excited to open my journal and see all these responses again, it really makes me happy

I'm sorry, but I find that hard to believe!!!

Posted by: greekblondechic

Jilly, went out last night and probably also going out tonight, gotta celebrate of course!!!

I am also going to hunt for low carb bagels!

Arch, it's true

Posted by: greekblondechic

I'm going to the gym today, go me!

I live in Jersey, guidos and guidettes galore.

I had a pretty good workout thanks Katia and Arch, did shoulders bi's and 20min cardio

Posted by: greekblondechic

I feel so ugly and fat.

We all have rough days, but don't believe it! You look great. Get your self esteem off the floor and appreciate yourself.

Our society has a great way of making people feel worthless, regardless of who they are or what they look like. Don't fall into the rut most people are in, where they decide they are never going to look like a supermodel so they may as well dive headfirst into a tub of chunky monkey. Deep breath, look at some old pics of yourself, realize how good you look, and appreciate what'cha got. I know LOTS of honeys that are hoping to get into the league you are playing in.

Chin up!

Posted by: Pylon

One other thing...this is your POSITIVE journal, remember?

Posted by: greekblondechic

I know I'm trying, I'm just so upset and bummed out. Looking at old pics only makes me more upset when I realize how much weight I've put on. I deleted all my pics, I hate them.

Posted by: greekblondechic

Tomorrow is another day, good night all.

Posted by: Rich46yo

What happened to your back Greek?............Rich

Posted by: Katia7

Hey hon,
This is a POSITIVE Journal, remember?
Just take 1 day at a time and think positive, and you'll be at your goal weight in no time! And don't look at the old pics. I'm thinner in the old pics too, but I also look like I'm 12 there.

Posted by: greekblondechic

I hurt it deadlifting in early October Rich.

Thanks Katia, I just have to be patient, I am finally sort of working out, the weight will go..eventually...

Posted by: Katia7

It sure will

Just keep at it... don't give yourself the options of not going to the gym.. just GO.
Me on the other hand.. I find it so easy to get myself to workout, it's the food that's hard to stay away from.. especially in NY.. all these Russian desserts

Posted by: greekblondechic

I have not been excusing myself from the gym, but sometimes when my back hurts, it is better to rest it than to further aggravate it. The food is a problem for me too, I can't wait til I switch departments!!!!

Posted by: Archangel

Why all the negativity Greeky? Just like Pylon says, we all have our bad days, momments and all. But Oh my, you are defeating yourself here. THINK POSITIVE!!!

You look fabulous, I know a bunch of people who would love to look half as good as you. Just take it one day at a time. Say it with me Greeky............. I KNOW I CAN!!! hey, I said say it WITH me!!!

Posted by: Katia7

My back acts up too sometimes.. HORRIBLE pain. So I usually just do some cardio (bike or something that doesn't move my back) ir just go for a walk.. something is always better then nothing

Keep up yuour effort, focus and discipline young lady

Girl what's going on with you??? First off, you are neither ugly or fat. Your outlook is going to affect your progress. The most important part of achieving whatever goals you have for yourself is being able to envision it.

And for your comfort, I am a month late for my summer diet.

Cheer up. Forget yesterday and the days before. Start now and go for what you want. You and you only can make it happen.

Remember, training is a small part of your physique-diet is 80% IMO.

Oh yes, whats with all the friggin negativity?

You know better girlie. Staying positive is a lot harder than being negative, dont take the eay way out.

Posted by: Jenny

Greeky.. You can do this! Stop punishing yourself girl! Think of all the days you're wasting feeling bad.. You don't want to think back when you're old, feeling like you wasted your young years

Be POSITIVE, get the eating back on track and go to the gym! You can do it!

Do it for yourself, don't waste another day

I used to love deadlifts Greek. I cant do them anymore, Ive had 7 back surgeries. But I can still squat. One thing I do before I lift any weights is a full session of floor stretch/strengthen exercises. This warm up has prevented injuries to my back when lifting.

Strange how Ive never hurt my back weightlifting. Even stranger how many people I know think iron is bad for your back,"I think just another exuse to lay on the couch". The reality is weights are absolutly fundemental for a rehab from ANY injury.

Take care and stay positive...........Rich

Katia honey get your back checked out, don't be like me and just wait it out, cuz you never know.

Thanks DFINEST, I could surely use a nice guy to come pay me some attention!

Hey Lis! Where YOU been!! CaLL ME! And you're absolutely right, my outlook has been the cause of all my failures, I know it, but it's hard to change!!

EXCELLENT QUOTE!!!!!

Jilly I was having a bad couple of days, but for the most part I am not that bad anymore

Jenny Sunshine!!! Thanks for stopping by, missed u!

Monstar u are right, it's realizing those days and those thoughts aren't true that helps get through them

Rich I doubt I will ever deadlift again, can you tell me more about the stretches you do? Thanks

Posted by: dalila

Hey greeky

New journal huh? I just got back from my loooong hols so just as well taht you have a new journal - easier for me to catch up

. Hope you've been well. As for your back - do you still remember the stretches and strengthening exercises for your back I suggested - the ones that helped me lots?

Posted by: greekblondechic

Welcome back dalila! I was just thinking of u, I remember u suggesting them, but I never figured out how to do them lol

Posted by: dalila

thanks greekie!

I'll look them up for you in the next day or two and send you the links, OK?

Posted by: greekblondechic

Thanks honey!

Posted by: greekblondechic

Well, the supermarket I went to only had multigrain bagels no low carb ones, gotta look elsewhere. Eating some cottage cheese w/ pineapple right now

Gosh, I am at work, they took away my computer from me because it was someone else's and that person came back, so I am borrowing a co-worker's while she's in a meeting, it has internet and I have no work to do, but I am BORED!!! I need to work

Posted by: greekblondechic

My knees bother me lately, and I haven't been running. I think it's a combo of not used to cardio and wearing high heels often, Phooey!

Yeah, heels make my knees hurt too.

Why are you eating pineapple while looking for low carb bagels? Don't pineapples have lots of carbs too?

Posted by: greekblondechic

I'd rather get my carbs from fruit than from white flour.

Besides, normal bagels have astronomical amounts of carbs, just looking for a better version.

Fair enough. I only asked because I generally don't eat fruit due to the suger content.

P-Funk informed me that the female liver can only process around 60g of fructose a day.

Please forgive me if I fuq'd that up P.

Posted by: Jill

I tried the atkins lc bagels before-not bad, just a bit of a different texture than a reg bagel. The only thing was the have so much art sweetner in them, more than 1 at a time is hard on the tummy.

Posted by: greekblondechic

Pylon, I am not that strict.

Hey Velvet, LTNS, THANK U and WELCOME to my journal girly!!!!

Thanks Luke, I don't get ALL my carbs from fruit, just some. What happen to excess grams of fructose anyway? Stored as fat?

Jillian are they art sweeteners like splenda or are they sugar alcohols?

Hi GBC, you're still special and keep your head up

Posted by: greekblondechic

Thanks Dfinest! I am a little bummed out right now, I just got home from a pretty good leg workout, only managed 10min cardio due to massive headache, anyway, my back felt FINE all up into I bent over to look into the fridge.. OW.

*sigh* when will it end?

Posted by: greekblondechic

Today I did:

Leg Press
Butt Blaster
Good Girl
Bad Girl
Seated Leg Curl
Seated Hamstring Curl (?)
Calf Press

The only one I felt any discomfort on was the Butt Blaster, I need a good back-friendly alternative to work my butt. Any suggestions? Thanks guys. I'm gonna miss that butt blaster. I miss face down ass up. And I miss squats

Posted by: Luke9583

What's a butt blaster

I tried looking it up on google. BIG MISTAKE

The one in my gym looks different but the same concept.

Archie be good you pervert!

Posted by: Jenny

Hey Greekster!

Good job on getting to the gym!

Sorry about the cardio

Do you do any walking? I remember when I went for powerwalks each morning and saw GREAT results! Is that something you could do? I used to get up an hour early before school and go for a 45 min walk, it felt really good and it really helped me lose my fat. Now I just run or do the elliptical instead

What type of job do you have? Does it have anything to do with what you got your degree in?

Have a great day sweets

Posted by: Velvet

Morning Greeky! Is your back better today?

Posted by: greekblondechic

Hey Jenny! Amazingly, my back feels better again, and on the car ride home I was just planning on taking a slower CD and walking! Great minds think alike! My job will be in accounting, but I majored in communication.. go figure! It's so cute tho, my department will have a going away cake for me (I've only been there 2 months) and a bunch of people said they wish I was staying there not going to a diff dept, Awww.

Good Afternoon Velvetta!

Back is pain-free so far today.. I'm PSYCHED!

Another boring day at work. Today and tomorrow and then I get to go train for my new job on Monday, where I expect they will keep me busy.

My back is ok today, but my neck is a bit stiff from how I slept. I will most likely skip the gym today.

You should get a nolva foam mattress at costco. They are on sale. You'll never wake up sore again

(I figured the mattress would be cheaper than a g/f that would rub my back

)

Posted by: fantasma62

Hi beautiful, I am so happy for you about your job and your back. I remember how much you were struggling with that crappy job you used to have and the a-holes there. Also, Im glad that the pain is gone....

I got a lot of reading to do, so, I'll see ya later....

Posted by: greekblondechic

Luke, it sounds like a soft mattress, is it? I need something that will support my back, thank you for the suggestion.

Thanks TIO, You are so right, they treat me soooo well here, everybody loves me and treats me with respect.

You can't compare it to springs. For example, it doesn't bounce. It have more in common with swimming in a pool, than sleeping an a conventional mattress. You'll love it, i promise

Glad to hear your back is getting better. I find a heating pad really helps me-or a magic bag that you heat up in the microwave.

Skip?!? SKIP?!? SKIP?!?

Well, OK, I guess...but make it up later!

Hope your back feels better. Try a warm bath. It may not help, but you may not care anymore, either. (Oh wait, that's a warm bath in whiskey.)

Posted by: greekblondechic

Hey TGS, how ya doin hon?

Jilly, today I am sick, my neck is very stiff/sore, and so are my lats..but my lower back still feels FINE!!!!! It really is a miracle.

Pylon, I did legs and back back-to-back. I am not used to this working out nonsense, give me a break. I went out for a couple drinks w my coworkers, was nice.

My knees hurt a lot lately, I hope it's temporary.

Not a thing wrong with that. We don't celebrate successes in life enough, IMO. When you've got a good excuse to celebrate, enjoy!

Posted by: greekblondechic

I will probably go to the gym today Pylon, even if only for a little bit. My gut looks a little less fat, it's encouraging. If the weather improves, I may go out dancing tonight.

It's sad that a couple of disrespectful assholes in the Open Chat Forum make me consider leaving this site entirely. I'd stay out of it, but I have too much free time on my hands.

I ate a poppyseed bagel today cuz my drug test was yesterday. Bagels are bad. Cream cheese is bad. But hunger is worse

I am aggravated.

Posted by: greekblondechic

Ok, I'm over it. But boy do I hate to be disrespected!

Posted by: greekblondechic

I think I'm due for chest and tri's today. I want to attempt abs too. Then some cardio, maybe

Yeah, I saw the thread. Screw 'em. Some people have a problem seperating Internet from porn. I mean, a time and a place for everything, right?

Don't take off on us. Stick around...just avoid the assholes as best you can...

Keep it up and "always look on the bright side of life" Just got done watchin Mary Poppins with my daughter and that song is in it!!! Kinda catchy actually

Take care of that back

Posted by: greekblondechic

I'll stay.. I just get aggravated sometimes.
Archie you did nothing to offend me.

I did abs today, finally, 100 crunches on the ball, felt fine. Did chest and tri's. Back only hurt when getting up from chest flies, we'll see how it is tomorrow. Also did a good 45 minutes of cardio.

In other news, I am sick and my ears hurt and I can't hear too well.

Why does this have to happen now?

Posted by: Pylon

It happens to everyone at one time or another. Don't get discouraged. It could be worse!

Besides, is anyone around you really saying anything worth listening too?

It's ok guys, I am over it. Thanks for caring tho and for the nice comments.

I was sooo miserable last night w/ both my ears hurting. But luckily today they feel better (so far). I am still sick, but not like last night. Funny tho, you're supposed to get a fever w/ ear infections, and my temperature was only 97

I really shouldn't work out today, but I think I might go for a walk, it's nice outside. I dunno about going dancing tonight, maybe.. I stayed in last night. I might just go see a movie or something.

Not you Var.

My ass feels a little firmer, the line between my top two abs is coming back. Scale not moving. I have to say since I've started working out again, I get on the scale a lot more, and I feel upset about my body a lot more. I hope those two are correlated and not due to the fact that I am working out/caring again. I don't want it to be because of that. It's tough to stay off the scale though, you desperately want to see some numbers going down. But I really should. The thing is, I don't expect to lose fat that quickly, I just pray some of my weight is water and it'll go away (sometimes this happens and I lose 6-7lbs quickly) and I get upset when it doesn't go away because it is FAT. Oh well. I feel so much better today than last night, but the one of the connecter thingies under my tongue hurts like it's slightly ripped, Ewww.

Blah blah blah.

I plan to wear ALL my cute summer clothes from two years ago this summer. And I will look good in them damnit. Back feels totally fine today. Knees feel tired but not hurting like they were. So glad!!!

I better not be sick Monday when I start my new job!!!! I hope the people there are cool and the work isn't too boring!

Still wearing glasses, my contacts are taking foreverrrrrr to come in. I'm tired of looking like a dork!

Posted by: greekblondechic

My arms aren't sore, but they feel weak today.. I guess that is good?

Posted by: Jill

I knopw the scale is evil evil evil. I still step on it daily though, out of habit I guess.

Im thinking of hiding it.

As for your armies-did you work them yesterday? Maybe that why they are feeling week.

I did chest and tri's yesterday

You look so cute Greeky

So priiiitty!

TY Jenny

Posted by: Jill

Cute!!! How do you get those nice big curls in your hair, I LOVE IT!

Posted by: shortstuff

Hey greeky, long time no talk

Posted by: greekblondechic

Hey Jilly.. I guess my hair is naturaly kind of like that.. All I did to it today (took the pic today) was, blow dried it about half way, then put it up in a messy bun. After I take my hair out of the bun, it looks cute. But I think since my hair is only wavy/somewhat curly, it's easier for me than for you cuz you have really curly hair. I'd imagine you'd have to straighten then use the curling iron.. which would kill your hair. Thanks for the compliment

Hey Pam! Welcome to my journal!

I just got home from shopping..got some meds, all bran, windshield wipers, cute sandals, and a pair of jeans. Anytime I try on clothes I get all upset at being fat *sigh*

I am indecisive as to whether or not I should go to the doc. Sometimes I feel ok and say oh I don't need to, then other times I feel horrible and wish the doctors were open today.

I start my new job tomorrow.. I'm nervous.

Posted by: shortstuff

I am really glad to see you doing so well. Me not so well but that is going to change!

Have agreat Sunday night

Posted by: greekblondechic

Welll..this just started..I haven't worked out consistently in FOREVER. I didn't go to the gym all weekend as I really shouldn't, but I wish I was there. You will do fine!

BTW My diet is..eh.

Posted by: Archangel

I was right

You definately have that SEXY school teacher look

Don't be nervous about tomorrow, You'll be just GREAT!!!

Posted by: greekblondechic

Thanks Arch.

I spent half the day filling out paperwork and the other half talking to the supervisor. Won't be so bad once I am set up and have my desk decorated and know what to do.

My ears stopped hurting, now they just feel clogged up but not sure if it's the meds or the olive oil cotton balls that did it. Either way, that's good. Still have a hacking cough and congestion, but I doubt I will go to the doctor as long as my ears don't hurt. Wish I was well to go work out tho.

What's new with everyone?

Posted by: Pylon

Wow, what a great way to make an impression at the new job, huh?

Hope it works out for you!

Posted by: Archangel

Heres hopin you feel better soon Greeky!!!

Posted by: greekblondechic

I don't think missing work would have made me look any better either.

I can't beleive you would think your nerdy and fat...you are a hottie!!! Keep up the good work, and I hope you get to feeling better soon BILLIE

Posted by: greekblondechic

Thanks Billie, you are very pretty also!

Cold is not going away..still deaf in one ear, other one is hurting right now.. Still coughing. Planning on working out today anyway.

Posted by: Archangel

Take care. Don't over do it

Maybe this will make you feel better

Posted by: Pylon

Working out when sick sucks. I've had to do it a few times the last few months. My rule is that I don't work if it's a respiratory thing. Otherwise, I still go, but I don't have the same oomph when I'm down. But going will probably make you feel better anyway, right?

Posted by: greekblondechic

Well I didn't go. Finally got my contacts tho, been wearing glasses so long I forgot what my eyes look like. But they are a bit weak, I hope I adjust soon!

Cool! I remember ditching my specs for contacts. Big improvement. I can't imagine going without them. (Except of course when I'm on the road and forget my case...

)

Posted by: greekblondechic

The only problem is, this was my second infection, and I have to wear my contacts less often or I will keep getting infections.

Posted by: greekblondechic

Today was an ok diet day.. Few bites of cake only for mardi gras..threw most of it out..Should keep improving..

Gotta keep thinking about summer!!!

Stay strong! And remeber, if you're going to have a cheat meal, don't waste it on some crap king cake!

Posted by: greekblondechic

I have never seen, heard of, or tried said king cake

I finally went to the gym again today, did legs and over an hour cardio.. didn't plan it, but ended up chatting!

We got a couple delivered at work. Theyre basically like a big donut - a huge puffy pastry with jelly and frosting and shit. Theyve usually got a plastic baby in it, and who ever gets that piece has good luck. I guess their heart attack comes last?

Needless to say, I passed on that one.

Be thankful youve never seen it, heard of it, tried it, felt it, thought of it, etc etc.

I did have a sort of chocolate raspberry cake yesterday, but only a few bites. Today I had a bagel and sugar free ice cream. My two problem times are mid morning and when I get home from work.

Posted by: Jill

I did leggies yesterday

My ass is so sore it hurts to sit. Im NOT joking either, at all.

I wish the mornings were the hardest on my eating. Its the nights where I have problems.

Posted by: greekblondechic

I just need to bring something to eat so I don't eat bagels. The other department always had cottage cheese, maybe I'll bring some.

Hi V

Just make a shake, a sandwich and some fruit. that should hold ya over.

Posted by: greekblondechic

Good ideas everyone.. Jenny I was thinking exactly the same thing.. Flex, I already have a sandwich for lunch (well half at lunch, half later)

TGS, I got frustrated with the obnoxious comments being posted and deleted them all.

Posted by: greekblondechic

My second day back in contacts and my eyes are very dry and itchy. I hope the infection hasn't come back. If I can't wear contacts anymore I will cry

Well, I can tell from your avatar, you're doing well.

Posted by: b_reed23

doing good greek! Is the new job goin well? When I start having bad food cravings I try to eat a bunch of veggies like broccoli, or a bowl of cheerios, and after that I'm not hungry enough to eat the bad stuff. Jill...I know what you mean, I worked mine hard today, and I KNOW I'm gonna hurt tomorrow! I use to do my leg routine on wednesdays, but I had to change it because I could hardly walk at work the next day..lmao....BILLIE

Posted by: Pylon

Good advice on the craving thing. I'm too lazy to every work to cook something I'm craving, so I keep the FF/SF pudding around. I know it's something I will be able to throw together fast and it won't kill me.

Posted by: Archangel

Hello Greeky, how is my favorite school teacher doin today???

TGS that avatar is very old.

Billie the new job is going fine, my coworker from the old department gave me an adorable beanie baby bear to decorate my desk with

What?!? Why on earth would you even try that? I mean, it's meant to be had with moisture! Don't you people like moisture?

Seriously though, I would never even had thought to try it. How/why did it happen, and why is it so good? Isn't it...well...dry?

Posted by: greekblondechic

I found dry diet hot choc to be more bitter and well, more dry than sf ff pudding mix.

I'm pretty sure my eye infection is back.

Figured I'd stop by and say

Why would anyone say anything obnoxious about your pics?

I hope your eye infection gets better very soon!!

Good night of dancing last night. Personally I feel I look thinner, but of course the scale disagrees with me

That sucks. Try keeping it closed for a while...maybe you can wear a patch! Or ask people to stop poking it, anyway...

So what? The scale knows nothing. I haven't budged an ounce on my scale in the last week, but I'm a notch down on my belt, so I know mine lies...

Posted by: greekblondechic

My clothes don't seem to fit any looser..just look less fat without them.

An eye patch? haha, that's attractive! Ohh your booty shivers me timbers argh!!!
