Wow!!! Great posts from all, and some lumps in my throat. Since I'm not feeling great, I hope those lumps stay where they are. At least Triple J warned me before I ventured back here... But they're good tears, I swear!

I am so happy today with how things are gone... and I know you all think I'm from planet weird. But the fact is, that it sure seems as though we were all sulking about the lingering issues that were brought up previously.

I'm crediting Rachel (uh, I mean Pam) for feeling brave and bold enough to bring this issue to the limelight. AND Triple J for adding a little fuel to get things moving.

Life seems a little more palatable when you think of the good in your own life. Sour grapes are only meant to be snacks in between meals. I've learned quite a bit in my weight loss journey: I must fill my body with nourishing food and supplement it with vitamins and minerals. I see the results, because sad to say, my clothes look like crap. Good thing I have another wardrobe in smaller sizes to come to the rescue.

Let's move the analogy from food for the body to fool for the soul. Snacks in the form of pity parties or poor me pool parties must be limited! The meals should consist of acknowledging the healthy things in our lives. Things that have made us feel better about ourselves... like change and acceptance. The vitamins are reading materials that help us on our journey, as well as any spiritual or religious activities we do for ourselves.

Dessert? Well, that's off the table for awhile. And any of you who are getting sex, I don't want to hear about it!

Monica, if I catch you making dessert, I'm going to ask you some very pointed questions! So you keep right on preparing those crockpot meals. I really got used to your plankton recipes since fish seems to be an ingredient from our past that no longer sits well...

I think I see some dust under the table, though... I'll just sit here on the couch and watch you clean it up. I need to save my energy because we're expecting 10-14 inches of snow tonight. It's raining like the devil and was about 38 awhile ago, and plummeting.

YUCK. The view from this apartment sucks.
