. Would you believe that before my husband met me, he had never seen that movie? I didn't know that not seeing it was allowed. Luckily, it was on Netflix so I could solve that problem.

Update on Princess Bride/Halloween. SO accidentally had the sword from his costume sent to the wrong address and decided since it was all foam it would be fine in his carry-on luggage:
Text from SO:
My sword caused a kerfuffle going through x-ray machine - I saw the display monitor - it looks SO REAL!
Me: Were you delayed? Did you explain about Princess Buttercup and true love?
SO: TSA were Not much for chit chatting. They were multi tasking with Asian man who was struggling with the concept of walking through at the same time - Dude almost took his pants off.
(This exchange made me laugh this morning.)
Edit to add: This is at one of the busiest airports in the country during morning rush hour. I am guessing fella with the pants issue might have been struggling with a language barrier.0 -
I logged food most days. I reached my goal weight in November 2013 and have been playing around with not logging to see if I can do it. (I made it from mid April to Mid June before I decided I needed to reign in the slowly creeping up weight and started logging again.) I weigh daily, record my weight weekly, and if I get more than 5 lbs over my lowest weight, I start paying closer attention to exactly what I'm eating. I'm hovering at about 4 lbs over where I want to be right now, so logging for now.
Agreed! Phenomenal! Did you actually log food every day?AngryViking1970 wrote: »
There have also been occasional days throughout when I just quick added a large number of calories because I knew I had blown it.
Here's my transformation:
Sorry for the fuzzy photos.
Wow, you look great. Congratulations!

So with my son's birthday last weekend and really busy at work I am over 100 pages behind. I won't be able to catch up without calling into work a few days so I'm just gonna jump back in here if that's ok.
Speaking of races I just signed up for the Disney Princess Half weekend- doing the 10K. I'm nervous as the farthest I have ever ran is 5K.

Not a Disney Princess run, but I'm planning the Dopey challenge at Disneyworld in 2017 with some online friends from weight watchers.

You have dealt with a lot. It does not matter what your orientation is in so far as what happened was in NO way, shape or form any fault of your own. At All. You are blameless. (HUGE HUGS). I am so sorry that you had the experiences you did.
**WARNING FOR THOSE WHO MIGHT BE TRIGGERED BY VIOLENCE - SKIP THE REST OF THIS POST PLEASE, THE LAST THING I WANT TO DO IS UPSET SOMEONE**
When I was 20 I met an acquaintance through a co-worker. He was a wealthy physician. He invited me to a barbecue. I was in no way attracted to him but I thought he was just being friendly and he was "known" so I said yes. I was drugged (the date rape drug) and have no recollection of what happened, but why would I be drugged if nothing happened?
The same year I was taken by two men in a situation where I thought there was a good chance I'd be killed and I was raped by one. I talked my way out of being raped by the second. I talked the first into a condom. I talked my way into being let go. I was shaken and I (kick myself for this one now) chalked it up to a hard learning experience and I moved on without reporting it and without telling anyone. Until 10 years later someone threatened by then 2 year old daughter. I took care of that situation IMMEDIATELY and have entirely put that person out of my life. I had flashbacks. I had nightmares. I sought counseling and was told I had PTSD. Counseling really helped me enormously. I reframed the incident so that I was strong and did everything I could to protect myself. I worked through the issues and I have not had issues since and that has been a number of years ago. Please seek counseling. Call the hotline number that you see for victims of ___ crimes even if you feel it does not apply to you because they can put you in touch with counselors. HUGE HUGE HUGS.
The first few counselors I saw were batty, find one you can work with. What happened does not define me nor do I think about it often. It is now just a tiny moment in time. You will get there. I believe in you and your bright future.
I couldn't skip it. I could not move forward in catching up without saying something about this.
I won't share all of my specific stories but the first time I was sexually assaulted was by my 14 year old half brother while he was baby sitting me. I was four years old, and my 12 year old half sister watched.
After that, I was sexually assaulted 3 more times in my life at varying ages by various people(the idea that only men can rape is bull smurf). Only once out of those three did I seek justice.
In those moments in court I contemplated suicide. I thought about the shame of the situation and I felt like everything that happened to put me in that room defined my whole life.
After I testified, my counselor said that the rape didn't define my life, but the moment in court DID. That moment was me taking control and holding someone accountable to their hurtful actions towards me. It took a long time before things balanced out and I was able to get out of my depression and let go of the thoughts of ending my life.
I've taken my life back and I have 30 pounds down to show for it. I'm strong, because I recognized my weakness and that I needed help.
Looking back, those situations are tiny blips in the radar of my past and do not compare to the amazing moments and real friends I have had since.
It seems difficult and you may feel alone, but help IS out there. All you have to do is find it.
And of course we're all here for you!
Omg so sorry you guys had to go through that.. I can only imagine what its like having to deal with that0 -

This made me truly LOL! Especially the use of "kerfuffle" and the man trying to take his pants off!0
