Perhaps some of our problem relatives? I put my DH in this.
Narcissistic personality disorder is a mental health condition in which people have an unreasonably high sense of their own importance. They need and seek too much attention and want people to admire them. People with this disorder may lack the ability to understand or care about the feelings of others. But behind this mask of extreme confidence, they are not sure of their self-worth and are easily upset by the slightest criticism.

LOVELY, Kylia! Hope to see her on our cruise ship one day! We have five dancers and four singer/dancers. And from there, who knows, the sky's the limit!
Having a quiet day watching videos, reading etc. I did a bit of gluten free shopping around the corner, and cleaned a couple more door shelves in the fridge. The tomato purée had leaked sticky stuff on one shelf. I also looked in the spare bulb drawer and found lots of travel plugs, mainly Australian/US. I think I will find a box for those and put them in the garage. Just in case I ever go to Australia again! I do have the US on my bucket list. I've only really visited NYC.
Tracey - Would you like to Friend me, so we can message? I will try you when you next post.
I also bought a swede (rutabaga) for Burns Night on Thursday, and some cream to make whisky sauce. The haggis is residing in the fridge.
Must get around to getting a digital passport photo done. We can try taking one, and using a cheap online transform thing I found, or our local Tesco has machines that also do digital. That costs a bit though. Maybe tomorrow, after a hair wash and makeup. Must be done soon to be assured the new passport will be in time for our cruise.
Both cleaner and window cleaner coming tomorrow. Money running tight until pension day.
Lamb, lentil, spinach and pea curry tonight. Must get downstairs to do it!
Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx

“Lord, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can, and
The wisdom to know the difference.”
I also say a step 7 prayer which is very simple and it goes like this: 'God, please help me deal with my character defects.’

Michelle in NV - Are you tracking your protein? Since I've gone from 60 grams per day to around 90, my appetite has really changed. Fruit and a few nuts are my go-to snack when I'm really hungry, and fills me up. No desire for junk food type snacks or empty carbs. I aim for 1.2 gm/protein per kg of weight.
I see Kylia has already covered this and other good ideas! Yep, start small and build on successes.
Regarding sleep - I just stumbled on this Dr. Matt video called "8 Sleep Hacks - How to get rejuvenating sleep". Wow, much I didn't know. Explains a lot - this video is 15 minutes well spent for those of us with sleep issues.
Or just want to find out more about it.
Reminder for the weekly Check-in, please get info to me today or early tomorrow morning.
Make it a great day, ladies. Stay safe and warm!

Kylia-GD does stand out-she has very fluid yet crisp movements-how exciting! (and I love "All that Jazz"
Rita-6 months sober is quite the accomplishment-just keep building!4 -

]I have learned not to be disappointed by the actions of one or two of my family. It’s just the way they are. I’m certainly not going to let their behaviour wound my composure. I just limit my contact and expect nothing from them.
Age has brought wisdom about past wrongs. Despite her treatment of me, I feel an enormous compassion for my mother, as she must have been a very bitter and unhappy person. Both my brother and I limited our contact with her as adults for our own peace of mind.
I have fought my demons, and lived to tell the tale 😝 I choose to be happy, and grateful to be who I am, where I am. These are such wise words, that I thought they should be read again (and again). I am powerless over others but I can take charge of my own emotions and reactions. Barbie in NW WA

One more example of how diverse we are in some ways is that my choice for a place to meet is the Shetland Islands. I'd like to fly to London, take the train to Aberdeen, and the ferry to Lerwick. I don't care for warm places. Barbie

Barbie - Me too. Brighton and Hove is quite warm enough for me!
Being able to message people is quite unnecessarily difficult.
The family have arrived home through the storm. Relieved. They are happy but v tired. There is a major storm on tonight. Glad they are back.

Rita, con very gratulations on six months sober!! Proud of you, girl!
Tracey, I think Michele was wondering if some were jealous of the go fund me page or maybe about Kaitlyn and hubby trying the in vitro again. Are any of them wanting and not able to conceive? I don’t need to know the answer, just something to rattle around in your brain. Congrats on your schooling! I hope you are proud of yourself on two fronts. 1: you decided to change your trajectory by going back to school (not easy as a full grown adult I know!) and 2: your grasp of the subject is obviously very good, your marks are showing that!
Heather, glad the family got home okay.
Michelle in NV, I was going to suggest hard boiled eggs, I see Kylia beat me to it. They are great, I usually have some in my fridge. One of them with a cut up tomato and some cheddar cheese makes a good snack. A hot beverage can also help. Think herbal tea or bouillon. Hang in there, you can do this!
Many more I wanted to comment on, but I must get myself to the gym!
Hugs for those needing them, congrats to those celebrating and welcome to the new gals!
Evelyn, Vancouver Island where the temp has warmed up and we are melting! Yay!!3 -
Hello Ladies!
I have been reading but do not have much to add except I love you all and glad you are a part of my day.
BIL finally released from hospital and sent to a rehabilitation facility to get him back on his feet. Hoping we can either send him back to his memory facility or find a new one.
11*F this AM and now 37* Later this week it might get up to the 60's. That will be nice!

Tina: I accepted friend request and sent you a message. LMK if you haven't gotten it.
Kylia and Ginny: So happy to you got to meet in person. Any photos?
Lisa: Ten years???? I remember meeting you and Corey like it was yesterday.
Once Lanette gets the teleporter running again it should be very easy for us to convene under one roof for a cuppa and good long yammer 🤗🤗🤗
Okay, time for me to hit the gym. Then will get myself all cleaned and pressed for a casual dinner out with girlfriends. Love you all. Stay well. We can do this.

Wouldn't that be such a hoot? As my mother would tell people, " come, lets drink wine, gossip and tell lies"! She would say that with a twinkle in her eye.💖🤗. No lie telling, really, or unpleasant gossiping though. Just easy conversation.👍🏼

I too have nothing to add, but you all share my morning coffee. I have put a lot of my projects on hold, because I don't want to start something if I can't finish it in a timely manner. Plus I want my kitchen table for when my sons visit. My "book nook" project will most likely take that over for months. I need more water color tools as well as cutting tools, scissors, glues, and an art cutting board to do my book nook. So I am just writing letters, making my homemade stationery and envelopes etc.
I sent our Athena a "secret message" like my husband did. Lee had bought a brand of pizza called "Screaming Sicilian" pizza. On the side of the box is a cute mustache you can cut out. I used that as part of the secret message. I drew an Eye, then put the cut out mustache, then the number 2, and the letter U. (Put a key on the bottom). "I MUST DASH TO YOU! 😂😁. I paid $2 to send it, but hope she gets a kick out of it. I will share the photo of her in the mustache. I'm sure they'll do one. Of course I sent a bunch of stickers, because I have self proclaimed myself her sticker grandma.💖
Hugs to each and every one of yas!
Looking quite the old lady in my wool shawl.🤗

Despite our earlier conversation about how it is too cold and slippery, dad went for a walk to McDonald's about four miles total, including crossing some big intersections. He can't hear the traffic behind him at all. He is friendly to me, but between his hearing and his memory loss he totally ignores everything I say. Well, if he slips and falls on the ice it won't be my fault. Of course he has no phone because he cancelled it; he couldn't remember how to turn it on.

The wind is roaring round the house. So glad the family are home. We might have gusts up to 80 mph.
A ship we have been on, Spirit ofAdventure, (i have a marine app) is stuck in Portsmouth harbour for tonight. It's supposed to calm down by tomorrow a bit.
Will have to see what Tuesday is going to bring. Might have to pick Bea up by car.
Love you all, Heather UK xxxxxxxx3 -
Heather - I sent you a friend request. I also follow you on IG if you want to message me there.

Hello! I realize it is the end of January almost. Will this thread continue throughout the year or do you start a new one every month?
I am 54. Married. Mother to three adult kids. And two adult black labs. Been a member of MFP for a long time. With yo-Yo progress.
Some friends at work and I decided to challenge each other to eating healthy and making healthier choices. I'm really excited to be motivated again. Looking forward to getting to know some of you wonderful ladies here.
My username is wizzybeth because of my middle name. And that's how I used to say it. But my first name is Karen. Now you know why I go by wizzybeth. Lol. Actually that's not true I was wizzybeth before "being a Karen" was a thing.
I'm okay with wizzy. 😁7
