    Dear Former Unhealthy me(and everyone elses unhealthy evil twin)
    I am so glad you are no longer a part of me. I am so glad I lost all of you on a gym floor. I am so glad I dont have to take those blood pressure meds anymore. I am so glad I overcame and chose life. I am so glad I saw the err in my ways and decided to lace up ands satrt running again. I will never ever miss getting called a fat girl, or getting belittled cause i am not good enough or thin enough. I am glad that the tthis is the only time it is ok to say losing is what winners do. I am glad I turned to the biggest loser that october day 2 years ago(it changed my life). I am glad I went to that health fair that one october day 2 years ago. I am glad I ran way from you and I am glad to say I will never go backl!!!!

    Dear Daughter Natalie,

    Farting in public isn't really funny. Can't really blame it on the dog then, can we?

    Put a cork in it,

    Your mother.

    Dear Neighborhood Punk with the $300 car and the $3000 stereo,

    OK, I get it. Your stereo is louder and more bass-heavy than anyone else's. I was a teenager once, and I still like to bump the jams with the best of them.

    BUT NOT AT 7 AM!!!!!

    Hit the mute button on that thing,

    Your (tired) neighbor.

    Dear Mother Nature,

    Ok..I love snow! It's great..it's wonderful...it's all white & fluffy!! We love to get out and play in the snow then come in for some homemade hot chocolate. But I must say... ENOUGH ALREADY! We've been snowed in all week...our yard is a mess from broken limbs and trees down from all the ice.

    I have Spring fever 3 months early....so, umm..yeah...go away until next Winter!

    Dear Building Heater-Nazis:

    I do not care if fire code prohibits use of personal heaters. Until you turn up the heat to a REASONABLE level in this building, I will continue to turn on my heater once I've exhausted my other options, which include putting on my winter jacket and placing a blanket across my lap.

    I.
    Am.
    Cold.
    Fix.
    It.

    Dear Cheater,

    I realize maybe for some people, the promise of sex from the same person for the rest of your life isn't that exciting. Maybe you're one of those people. But if you are, I really wish you just would never have chased me with that beautiful engagement ring. And I'd like to know how you sleep at night after pulling all financial support and knowing how hard it is to pay all of my bills in this area of the country.

    Oh yeah...you sleep with her.

    Well she can have you. I just hope she realizes that you are a cheater and liar - and that you were sleeping with me the whole time you were sleeping with her. What's that? She doesn't know? You LIED to her? Imagine that...I think I have another letter to write.

    Sincerely,
    Never Again

    Dear body,

    It has been 3 long months we have been sitting on this plateau together... And I am still sitting here trying to convince you that NO there will be no famine anytime soon... just let the damn weight go already!!! I feed you well I have even upped your calories and gotten a gym pass in hopes of messing you up a little... but no you continue to hoard the fat.... don't get me wrong I am happy to see less celulite on my hiney and bigger muscles on my arms... and am thrilled that you have let me drop 0.2 pounds this week... but common 0.2 pounds in 3 months? can you do better than that? We are in this together and we have sooo much to prove!! I am not giving up on you!!! we can do this!!!!

    Dear Mom,

    I am so sorry for the attitude I gave you when I was a teenager. I realize now that you were probably right and I was probably wrong. I have come to these realizations now because of my 16 year old daughter and I am pretty sure she is wrong. Why you din't beat the ever loving tar out of me is beyond me. You were a very tolerant woman.

    I also understand why you dyed you hair so often, it was because of me! I am trying to see if I can claim hair dye on my income tax.

    Love Vicky



    Dear Saggy Boobs

    Why are you always looking down? It isn't all that bad and my belly button doesn't look that great

    Oh....how I have waited for this thread to reappear......ahem....

    Dear Curious,

    It is so very heartwarming that you are so concerned about the number of children I have, and to receive the numerous blessings... as in, "God bless you, better than you than me." I heartily agree.

    Just for your edification....yes, I really do have nine children. Yes, they're all mine. Yes, I do have television. Yes, I do know what causes pregnancy. And, yes, I actually do get out once in a while. Yes, holidays are fun. No, I didn't have twins. No, I didn't plan to have all the children, but God planned it. And no, I don't know if I'm done yet....and, no, I'm not a saint....far from it. Yes, dinnertime is interesting. Yes, the house is noisy. Yes, I have lots of laundry....but equal amounts of joy.

    I trust you don't mean to be quite so impolite when you do your Soupy Sales spit take when you hear of my large clan, but it is somewhat rude just the same. I'm just a God fearing woman who, along with the Mister, decided to honor God by giving him this control of our lives. Yes, I realize you don't see such large families anymore, but personally I find that rather sad.

    Next time, when you hear of someone like me...for there are still a few of us left....simply smile and wish us well....or as Thumper said, "If you can't say something nice, don't say nothin' at all."

    Hey Kristi:flowerforyou:
    I do that too sometimes and it bugs me like crazy when I look back at my thread:tongue:

    What I find to eliminate that problem is post your response either just before the very first quote on the post you're replying to or after the very last one on the post. I find sometimes I don't scroll down quite far enough and type before the last one and get caught in it:blushing:

    Hope that helps:wink:

    Dear Workers Down the Hall from Me,

    I don't care about your husband's cholesterol and his new medication.
    I don't care about people continually asking you if our bank will fail and your annoyance with this.
    I don't care about the puppies you rescue and the toys they chew apart.
    I don't care that both Elliott and Meyer are "Jewish names" (in your idiotic opinion).
    I don't care that you believe your acquaintance Elliott Meyer is not in fact Jewish.
    I don't care about the delivery dates of your brochures or whether they've gone to print.
    I don't care that your cellphone is charged but dead.
    SHUT THE $*@&@! UP! LEARN TO SPEAK WITHOUT YELLING.

    (I could update THIS rant every day with details like you wouldn't believe.)

    Dear United States Government/ Internal Revenue Service,

    Thanks for taxing my meager bonus at 48% this year.
    I am thankful to have received a bonus, no matter how incredibly small it was to begin with.
    But after the taxation, I don't know if it could even be classified as a 'bonus'.
    I think you might be able to simply refer to it as an extra couple bucks in my paycheck.

    So thanks.
    Please apply that taxed amount towards all your great WELFARE programs aka Bailout Plans.
    I mean, I work my *kitten* off and go without extras all the time in order to pay MY MORTGAGE and bills.
    But I wouldn't dare expect you to expect the nation as a whole to do this.
    So please take my money and pay it forward to all the lame slacka$$es in this nation who were irresponsible in their spending, and remain irresponsible in their lives today.

    Sincerely,
    A Taxpayer With a Brain and Sense of Responsibility.




    GTO, thanks for making this thread.
    I am so utterly angry right now at so many things (hah, see above for a few!) that I can't begin to post on many of the threads on the boards today, for fear of being a total nitch (due to misdirected anger), but I can come to this thread and RELEASE.
    Thank you.

    Why can't you put stuff in the trash instead of leaving it on the counter!? Don't you pass the trashcan when you leave the kitchen!? Yep, I'm pretty sure you do. I get tired of cleaning up after you and I have quit! Please don't strain yourself with putting stuff in the trashcan.... :laugh:

    Dear ALL the family members who refuse to acknowledge my weight loss,

    Yeah you know who you are ..you see how slim and trim and dedicated I am to doing this ..yet you refuse to say one kind word to me about it...44lbs You see it...you cant even deny it!!...Im fitting clothes I havent fit in 5yrs!!...guess what I put on my fav shorts yesterday they are still a bit snuggie but I couldnt get them over my thighs last year....and oh you know my fav jeans the size 17 JUNIORS ..yeah those well I got them on as well and about 1 inch from a comfortable zip up......why do I even bother to try to get approval from you..whats even worse some of you are on a diet as well and I go OUT of my WAY to say something nice to you even if I DONT see it. Its called having compassion and caring about others and how they feel....I dont know how I got it considered I WASNT raised to have it. compassion for others that is.................funny how life works sometimes as a child I was always "too heavy" your words not mine....you seemed to notice then!! But you refuse to notice now....EAT MY DUST AND SCREWWWWW YOU!!

    dear best friend,
    I adore you muchly, but the little things you do to get attention drive me crazy!!!! The way you flirt with every single male, the way you let them think there is a chance with you, the way you have to beautify yourslef for the gym just in case there is a boy to hit on... and the list goes on. I dont know why you are sooo in need of attention, you are pretty and have a great body you dont need to act that way... I dont like it when you flirt with my boyfriend... it really bothers me!!!! I just feel your flirting is out of control, i mean seriously you are engaged why do you still need the attention?
    It also bothers me when you complain about your "fat" you are not fat in any way and if you want to whine and ***** about it then freaking DO something about it!!!!!! I weight like 75 pounds more than you seriously just shut up already!!!!! Stop asking if your *kitten* is bigger than that random girl over there... cause i swear next time im gonna say YES IT IS!!! lol

    annoyed by the little things
    jackie


    Dear boyfriend,
    Thank you for blowing off Jen and her flirting tactics ... makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside that you will get up and get me a drink or something when she starts flirting... like you dont even notice... when we have talked about it before and I know you do notice :)
    loving the warm fuzzies

    Dear Neighbor,

    I am so happy for you that you have finally come out of your depression. Your house and yard have been a mess for 5 years and I was truly sick of looking at the FEMA blue tarp partially attached to your roof and flapping in the wind.

    It appears you have somehow found someone crazier than you to move in and help repair your home.
    Why does this person need to turn a radio on full blast at 7 am?

    Or leave the SPOT lights on that shine right into my bedroom window and make it impossible to take my dogs in the backyard at night without feeling as if I am in a Law and Order episode being interrogated?

    The other morning at 4 am when he decided to run a saw for 2 hours, I had just fallen asleep for the night.

    PLEASE have some respect for those of us who did NOT report your stinkin rat infested yard to the city.

    Signed,

    Your Neighbor Who USED to like Country Music.
