Women 200lb+, Let's Be Extra Awesome This August!!!

@lovinlilly Happy Birthday!

@eliezalot I like your 1st goal. I want this to be my weight goal once I get into Onderland.

@speyerj happy anniversary. Sometimes people miss the hug button and hit the disagree button accidentally. I agree that it is hard right now with the uncertainty with school plans. I know my niece who is a teacher had to submit lesson plans in June for on line teaching until January next year. Now, she is waiting to hear whether she is teaching in person, online or hybrid. I know she has been working on plans this summer because my sister and brother-in-law have been busy with child care. She is here with her parents since her partner got stuck out of the country and she needed her parents help with child care so she could work. She has 2 under school age boys. She needs to know so she can return home if school is going to be in-person. If it is online she doesn’t want to risk taking her kids on the plane so she will stay here. They will have to quarantine if they travel back home and her partner needs to know where to join her and where he should quarantine. I saw no judgement in your post just description of how difficult and uncertain things are for teachers and of course kids and parents. Unfortunately COVID 19 isn’t in our control and school districts usually have little extra funds to deal with the extra needs. Just this week a study showed that children may be even more contagious when they are positive with the virus than adults. We are learning more and more each day. I didn’t hit the disagree but I went back and hit the like button.

I get so involved in reading posts and replying I forget about those buttons. I am not replying to all now though just mostly reading such great plans for this month. Inspiring.

@ChrysalisCove sorry to hear about your husband’s job. I hope all works out well in the end.

Welcome new members.

We had a social distancing meet up with some good friends. 1st we went for a walk in this forested park and then we sat down to talk and had take out lunch. We were wrapping up when a man who was drunk and probably with other problems came up and started swearing abusively at me. He said he hated white people and I pointed out we weren't all white. He was getting too close for being safe during the pandemic although he had a mask, then he asked for money and even my camping chair. Then as we started to leave he threatened to damage our cars if we didn't give him $10. If he had just asked for help we would have given it to him. He was getting really close and verbally abusive to me so my husband had to get between us. Anyway we had to call 911 which was scary too. The police came and he ran away into the woods. Glad no one got hurt. Hope he gets help and others aren't threatened by him. We felt he needed a social worker more than the police. But they were cool. I told my daughter later there was no way I was giving him my chair. It took me 10 years of family camping trips to finally get this one that isn't so hard to get out of and has a side table although it is the cheaper version of those types of chairs. You never know what life in a pandemic will bring.

Hi everyone and happy August. I’m a girl of few words, but here’s what I’d like to do this month:
☀️Log everything every day and complete journal
☀️Focus on increasing water
☀️Give up Sprite!!!

I tried having half an English muffin with my egg and sausage tonight so that Boyfriend could have the other half, and it worked out! I didn't miss the second half, although I would have eaten it if I had it. I'm really happy, cause that kept my breakfast for dinner meal under 500 calories, and leaves me room for a snack this evening. It's a small thing, but it really makes me feel like I'm getting the food addiction under control.
