No offense to sea cows.
I asked him which he liked better. He said both. I asked him again which one he thought I should keep. He said both because they both looked good. His exact words were something along the lines of you look hot in both and you should keep both.
The third one didn't work because the top and bottoms didn't match (that's what happens when you buy from Amazon). The top was black and white with red trim, but the bottoms were pink with black and white trim. I was disappointed because I loved the bottoms. Oh well.
I went from having zero swimsuits or covers, to having 2 bikinis, an adorable monokini, and 2 swimsuit covers. Pretty exciting.
Yay!!
Lots of variety for your trip.
It will be so nice. I don't think I've ever had multiple swimsuits before. I'm mildly excited about wearing them too. Not super excited about having to shave my bikini area however.

That it's awesome news! Rock those bikinis!
That's the plan.

Fun! How long until you go?I'm sure you all remember me mentioning that my hubby ordered 3 more swimsuits because out of the other 4 he ordered, only 1 fit. Well, those three came in today.

Also, for the bolded part - two words 'Topless Beach'.
(I went to a nudist beach in Australia once by accident. My husband and I literally stumbled upon it and realised what it was pretty quickly - naked people everywhere! It was all families and people of all ages and sizes and not at all creepy, so we thought 'what the heck' and stripped off and it was lovely! I also love all the topless beaches in Europe - it's very liberating!
We leave the 27th.
2 more words - saggy boobs. I wouldn't feel at all comfortable going topless with my little saggy boobs flopping all over. Good for you though for having the courage.

On top of that, she just found out she is pregnant, and nobody except her and the boyfriend are happy about it. My daughter and I are both mortified....
She is 22, lives in a motel room, on assistance, and has a trustee to handle her money as she cannot even do that herself.....her boyfriend works full time at a fast food joint, and the second they get any money they are out blowing it. They do not have a pot to piss in, and now are gonna have a baby....
She is mentally slow, her mentality is that of about a 13 year old.....God help that baby, and everyone else that is gonna be affected by it.....
She needs to be involved with child protection services, even before there's a child. They can develop a plan to get her connected with support and educational services like prenatal nutrition... and assess her (both of their) parenting ability. If it is determined that the baby will be in need of protection, it can be apprehended at birth.
It must be rough having so many reminders of Little Rodent Boy. I've always had two dogs so they have company when I'm not around and when I lose one there's never been any question about getting another one, I don't want the remaining dog to be lonely. And it's kind of diverting to think about a new puppy.
I've had pet rats and they're amazingly intelligent and affectionate little things, but their lifespan isn't very long, Same with guinea pigs. A friend of mine had one of the lop eared bunnies and it was very cute but didn't interact much. If I was to get any kind of caged animal, it would be a chinchilla... I've always liked them. I knew a woman who had several and would often bring one out and about with her, tucked into her jacket.
Tonight's confession: I am eating a yogurt that is almost two months past its best before date. There are three more from the same batch and I fully intend to eat those too. I'm too cheap to throw them out a buy new ones. They look/smell/taste fine... and I've done this many times before with no ill effects.
Hopefully I don't end up confessing to a bout of food poisoning in the next couple of days.
I had a chinchilla. They are wonderful little pets that can be letterbox trained for urine (they poop anywhere but their poop is little hard pellets so no big deal. They can learn their names and commands. They are best in pairs (I found this out after I had my one). I thought about getting a pair again but worried the cats might kill them.

Fantastic. Why don't you keep the bottoms and get a black top? Mismatched bikinis are totally common now.0 -

I have sat and eaten an entire vienetta, in less than 20 minutes. And I didn't even enjoy it that much, crappie chocolate flavouring. Also, the 8 or 10 caramel crispy bites I inhaled.
I suck and I'm never going to lose weight or climb mountains if I carry on like this
You do not suck. You are awesome! Tomorrow is another day!
I echo this! It's just one day at a time and we all slip. You are going to rock that mountain!0 -

Shark week seems a little harsh to me.
I pretty much just say I jave my period. I had a friend who called it her little friend which I always thought was weird to me it is an enemy. Time of month makes sense to me too. Shark week is weird.
I can see that making sense if you don't want to be pregnant. Then it would probably be your bestest friend in the whole wide world.

Confession: The last 3 days I have binged on McDonald's(it was a shopping trip with a girlfriend and I had been craving for like 2 weeks) and Papa Murphy's pizza. I brought some for my movie date, I baked the pizza and we sat down and watched a movie and then my dad had bought MORE when I came home. So I have been pigging out on the left overs.
The worst part: I eat the pizza and then I feel TERRIBLE afterwards. Super thirsty and I get fatigued. I KNOW it's going to happen but it doesn't stop me from eating it.
Bright side: I have started exercising more rigorously in an attempt to reduce my shame and I am becoming more and more impressed with what my body can do.0 -
I first logged onto MFP on April 6th. It was the day after Easter and I was feeling the weight of the family dinner.
I had a talk with my elder son about his dissatisfaction with his career, his social life, and himself. Like any good mother, I gave him fabulous advice - that he probably won't follow - but that got me thinking about following my own advice. It all boiled down to, "Make the changes that will make you happy."
I wasn't happy with my weight or general fitness. I ate far too much crap because it briefly made me feel better, at least until the guilt set in. So, I'd have another cupcake or some more chips and try not to think about it. I was like a junkie, the more I ate, the more I needed to eat to feel better. Of course none of this was making me feel better about myself.
So, I took the bull by the horns and became my own science project. I weighed in at 170 lbs. on April 6th. This morning I was 142 lbs. I have been keeping a mental list of NSV and there have been quite a few. Yesterday, I twisted myself into a knot climb through a small attic window to get to a low roof to inspect a higher roof. Before Easter, it would have been a painful and graceless act, possibly involving squeezing on my belly and never witnessed by clients. But yesterday, it was one leg through, foot on the roof, bend, head out, and pull the other leg through. I even managed to keep talking to my clients while doubled-over. They were amazed and so was I.
This is great! Congratulations!0 -

Wow. Honored to have you stop by again. Yours is definitely one of the immortal posts. You should feel proud!0 -
Longtime lurker, first time posting...
My confession is I had an early dinner today, then took a nap, woke up and decided that the first dinner wasn't satisfactory, then went out and got a second dinner (salad with creamy dressing + a big bowl of fro yo). Deciding not to log it because god only knows what I put on that fro yo.
Rationalizing it by the fact that I'm playing 6+ hours of soccer in high heat both days this weekend.0 -

I'm really sorry you have to deal with this. It's almost exactly the same with my sister. I am dreading her new baby being born in October. I fully expect to be caring for it by Christmas

This is what I do!! I have a bunch of strapless black tops and I always look for fun colorful bottoms 0 -
I also figure I should admit... I'm so big (and this is not body dysmorphia talking here) that I can't imagine I'll ever be appealing to anyone. Sometimes, it gets so lonely... All I want sometimes is someone that can see past how rough I've been with my body, and consider me beautiful.
I have panic attacks sometimes, thinking about the fact that I'm in my 30s, and getting to a normal size of any type seems so impossible. I think I'm too late to do anything worthwhile, and that I will die alone. Ha.
I know this post is old, but I had to reply to it. I don't know if you are still reading even. I am in the same boat as you. I am 32 and scared that I am going to die alone, because nobody is ever going to want me. I didn't have my first boyfriend until last year, and that was a very hectic relationship... we fought a lot and he was controlling, I put off ending it for longer than I should have (though we were only together April-June) because I was like I know I'm never going to find anyone else. But when it came down to it, it wasn't a good situation, and even my friends were saying that they didn't like him. lol Since I broke up with him I have had a lot of second thoughts, like maybe I should have kept trying a little longer. But I know that's only because I know nobody else will want me.
Same with getting to a normal size, it feels sooo impossible. But this time feels different for me, I was at a crisis stabilization unit for 4 days in March, because I was at such a low point I would look at my medicine bottles thinking how easy it would be to just take them all. Well, I met a girl there who told me about how she lost weight and suggested I try it for a week and see if it helped. It was low carb, and I started the Monday after I got home, and stuck to it strictly for a month and a half or 2. I lost 7 pounds the first month, zero the second month.. then started dropping slowly again at the start of month 3! lol Anyway, I transitioned back on carbs and am mostly watching calories now, and I didn't gain any back, so I'm happy that I can have spaghetti and pizza again. I am super frustrated losing only an average of a pound a week, when most people my size or even smaller drop faster! But I'm focusing on the goal here, I have to, when I don't I throw it all away and lose all my progress. I would love to be at my goal before/by the time I turn 34/35 at the latest, but worst case scenario, if I average a pound a week I should make it by 37. The worst part is, I feel like my life has passed me by because of this weight. I have dealt with the weight and eating disorders and depression and anxiety my whole life, and I feel like I literally CAN'T live or be happy until I lose the weight. Especially because I feel like even if I found someone who wanted me, that they would be like my ex, so I feel like I have to look better before I can find a better quality person.
Sorry this is so long. I just wanted to say that I know where you are at, I'm in the same place, if you see this and want to add me you can. Same goes for anyone else. I'm new to posting, but I have been lurking and using MFP on and off since I think 2013! I finally got up the nerve to start posting the other day.
