February Chit Chat Board

Options
Hey gang!

Kicking off the Feb. chat thread for us to continue on.

I'm 30 this month. It's messing with my head! But not too much. Anyone else find that your 300+lb face does a good job at keeping you looking young? :D

I think it was Nigella Lawson who said something along the lines of fat being nature's very best filler! Oy vey.

Happy first of the month y'all. Get it!

    I turn 30 the beginning of March and get how young I look all the time. Hopefully as we kick this weight off that youth will just get better lol! Happy birthday

    Haha I got ID'd the other night and it was just the best. And last week I was hanging out with my brother and his friends (only briefly my god, because they are children - 20/21) and it was assumed by someone that I was their age. SUCCESS!

    Look I've accepted that I'm never gonna be 'small'. Totally content being a 14/16. So hopefully some of that 'youthful plumpness' will stay in my face. Just not all of it! Fat face be gone!

    Happy birthday to you :smiley: Happy birthday to us! hehe

    Most definitely! I have all kinds of wrinkles, lines and sags that weren't there 100 pounds ago!

    I like the sound of this Groundhog. We're settling in for another 38c/100f degree day here today! Punxsutwney Phil, come save me!!

    I'm about to do my measurements for the month - a few days late, I know, but it was my TOM and I wanted to give it a few days to lose the bloat. Damn bloat.

    This past summer the heat was unreal, we were under heat advisory for a lot of it with nearly no rain! I loved it!

    @MissBecca145 that's awesome!! Great work!

    @HLaR79 my husband says the same about me. I'm always cold and he's always warm. All year long.

    *sigh* So my Mum has ruptured her meniscus. And her knee is just..."F'd".
    Been a rough few days in hospital and taking her to appointments etc. Which was just extra hard because you know, normally Dad would do this stuff. But now just me (I have a 21 y/o brother, and I love him, but he's a bit useless!). Stressful. And some crap eating. Under cals every day, but not great choices.
    Just really tough because I work from home. And I moved back in here a few months ago when Dad got sick - and it helps her me being here since his death. But working from home in a house full of people is hard I find.
    And I was going to broach the idea of me moving back out in about a month... but now... knee surgery recovery awaits.
    I'm just stressed. And wondering how the hell I'm gonna get my work done this week.

    Why thank you.....I kinda have to be because I am so busy during the week that if I was not, I would be screwed! however, now because of my pending empty nest (coming this September and I am thrilled about it), I just bought 50 of those single serve containers at a restaurant supply store, and am freezing them that way, instead of in big batches. It will actually made Sundays less work now, because instead of cooking a few different things, I should be able to make one big batch of one thing, to add to the rotation for variety. This weekend I am thinking cabbage rolls.
