Hello again, JGMTD crew! I'm Amanda, 39F/5'2" in Virginia
R280 SW: 129.4
R280 GW: 128.0
Starting off December with a couple of new goals:
- Daily core exercises
- 2 full body strength workouts per week
So for the round this equates to:
NS GOALS:
🏃🏻♀️ 7/10 days
🏋🏻♀️ lift 3/10 days
🚫 no drinking 5/10 days
📝 track food 7/10 days
✔️core workout 10/10 days
(tracked for the previous day)
Previous days' monologues:12/02 - 128.4 🏃🏻♀️✔️ Pleasantly surprised again with a loss. Probably pushing through some more of the retained water from the week. But I'm also not wanting to lose muscle and have been bad about prioritizing strength training with all of the running I've been doing. I don't want to literally run my butt off! So I'm going to lift today or tomorrow as well as getting a few running miles in. I don't have a long run scheduled this week which is nice. We got our tree from a snowy tree farm yesterday and the kids really got into the Christmas spirit! Unfortunately that means they're already asking for cookies. Going to be a tough month.
12/03 - 129.6 🏃🏻♀️✔️🚫📝 A deserved gain, for sure. I was so peckish yesterday, roving all over the kitchen trying to find something that would taste good and leave me sated. I came up blank despite eating all the things. Then we went out for Mexican dinner which obviously is filled with salt. I did opt for fajitas but had plenty of chips and cheese dip as well as some nibbles from my kid's quesadilla. I skipped the margarita, though, so that was a victory. Today I HAVE to go to the store to get some snacks for myself so I can stay on track. I also have to walk the dogs, run, and lift weights, lol. And do my job at some point as well. Hmm, time management is not my forte.
12/04 - 129.4 🏃🏻♀️🏋🏻♀️✔️🚫📝 Kind of expected more of a loss today, but that's okay. I know I did all the things yesterday that I could do. I did finish the fajitas yesterday for lunch (just the meat/veggie portion) and DH made a delicious-but-pretty-salty stir fry for dinner. I met all my goals yesterday so I will just stay the course. I'm definitely making chili for dinner tonight. It's so cold this week! I have a rest day and I may just fully rest today. Maybe a stretch or some yoga plus the required core workout. Really wanting to mostly dig into work today.
12/05 - 128.6 ✔️🚫📝 Barely squeezed in a 5 minute Peloton core class last night after I got my son to bed at 10 (BRUTAL) but I'm glad I did it. Today I have a run which I'm going to do on the treadmill. It's super windy here today and I just don't have it in me. Maybe a February half marathon wasn't the best idea I've ever had if I wanted to train outdoors. I have new, shallow motivation to have a successful December - we finally booked our post-Christmas flights to Puerto Rico yesterday! Going to have tons of beach time as we're staying in a beachfront cabana and I want to feel good in my swimsuit.
12/06 - 127.8 🏃🏻♀️✔️📝 Happy with my weight today! Of course the challenges of the round begin today - restaurant dinner tonight, big Thanksmas meal at my mom's tomorrow, Christmas party and Wicked sing-along on Sunday. Whew. Our dinner out tonight is for the big town Christmas festivities. It is going to be FRIGID though, so I'm not sure how long we'll last. Gathering all of our winter gear, picking the boys up early, and going to see Santa. Watching a tuba Christmas (one of my favorite things), eating dinner, then hopefully seeing the parade! It doesn't start until 7:30, though, so I'm not confident we'll make it that long in the cold. I think I'm going to pick up some hot hands and such. Really feeling like we all need balaclavas as well, but not even sure where to get those in a time crunch. Happy FriYAY, all!
12/09 - 128.8 🏃🏻♀️ Incredibly busy weekend is over. Two Christmas parades with tons of candy, two social dinners, one sing-along movie (if anyone has the opportunity to do this with Wicked, DO IT!), at least two alcoholic beverages each day, and zero cooking all weekend have put me in a bit of a tailspin. I think this weight is not reflective of the weekend and tomorrow I'll see the true damage. Today I have to:
- Do my job
- Run
- Walk the dogs
- Core workout (bummed I missed yesterday's, missing my every-day-in-December goal)
- Figure out and shop for dinner
- Catch up on at least a little housework. So far behind for a Monday!
- Definitely do my job!
12/10 - 128.8 🏃🏻♀️✔️🚫 Not looking like I'm going to make my weight goal this round. We have a Christmas party for DH's work this evening and then I'm supposed to have book club. DH is mega stressed out right now so book club is on the chopping block. The end of the semester (he's a college professor) is always brutal for him - stinks that it's combined with an uptick in social events for the holidays. On the plus side he's able to fully unwind over the holidays since everything resets after the end of the semester but in the meantime it feels like there's a dark cloud over the house. I am supposed to walk the dogs, do speed repeats, and lift weights today. Not sure I'll be able to do it all but I'd better get started!

12/11 - 127.8 🏋🏻♀️✔️ Didn't end up squeezing in the run yesterday, so today will have to be the run instead of the planned rest day. That's okay. I'm going to do one work task then run on the treadmill to knock it out. Very happy with my weight loss this round despite some challenges. I re-joined JGMTD at 137.4 on August 26th (round 270) and am now approaching 10 pounds lighter at the end of round 280 - 11 rounds total so far. It hasn't been fast but it has been working! Hoping to hit that 10-pound milestone in round 281!7 -

HW 222 in 2017
CW 150
GW 130
SW RND 280
12/02 152
12/03 did not weigh today
12/04 151.8 Stayed on plan yesterday. Was not able to find time to walk on the treadmill
12/05 151.6
12/06 153 Ugh, how can a day start off great and descend into a pit? A cookie bite led to a cookie consumed. A taste of fruitcake led to me eating two pieces. Sounds like excuses. I took the advice received here and tossed the cookies and fruitcake. Now, after that cascade of carbs, I need to start over to try to get into ketosis. I wasn't even distracted. I knew what I was doing and recorded the cal/carb.
12/07 153.2 Stayed on plan
12/08 151 Stayed on plan yesterday
12/09 151 Stayed on plan yesterday Only ate a meal times and planned snacks. I felt virtuous.
12/10 150.8 Stayed on plan yesterday. Driving everyone to their doctor’s appointments today. It is going to be a loooooooooong day.
12/11 150 On track!

Such a difficult time for someone to be in the hospital right now as the holidays are always demanding and busy. I hope today is the day she can come home and finish healing in her most comfortable spaces!
@_JeffreyD_ All the best to your daughter and you. I took care of a couple, twice, that had COVID, and I managed to dodge it both times. That being said, I did get RSV last year, and I was sick for 5 days.5 -
@quiltingjaine Is the RND 281 discussion/template posted, yet? If not, I can post it for you this morning. I will be on-the-road this afternoon, but I have a little spare time this morning. Just DM me, or post here. Thanks!3

@_JeffreyD_ So happy to hear your DGD is improving. 🙏🏾 Kiddies always pull our heartstrings. How are you holding up?
Cheers on fasting 24 @Chapter_3! I was so hungry all day after swimming I couldn't make it! Caved at 22, but will attempt it again later this week. I'm so impressed you've done 3 days a few times! Have gone as high as 30, but working towards at least one 36-48hr every month starting in January. Fingers crossed.
@deepwoodslady sending hugs and encouragement Donna. I know how hard it is to push forward after falling, but what do they say? Walk, run or crawl .... we'll get there eventually friend.

July Goals: Starting over 7/12 ~ lost six weeks of progress and regained 7 pounds adjusting to new third shift work schedule. They call it graveyard for a reason!!! My exercise, water and step count have all also dropped considerably. Goals this month are simply to lose as much as possible building momentum and getting back in the groove.
June Goals: Having gotten as low as 193 in both April and May, I'd like to drop below that in June. (FAIL)

MAY Goals: Lose 6-8bs, 2-3 inches and 1-2% body fat ❎❎❎
May 22: I had packed some shorts to change into after swim without trying them on. They were so tight last summer, I expected the fit to be better ~ but when I put them on ... wow. I was in front of the locker room mirrors and was like omg, that's you. How long has it been since you looked/felt like that? I was spinning around looking at myself for a good 2-3 minutes, y'all, lol ~ my New #1NSV
May 4: 10 of the 20 inches lost was off my belly! No pics, no proof, lol ~ I love/hate taking photos because they've become one of my best tools. You can't lie and you can't hide. Putting myself on blast 1) creates incentive to increase effort and 2) highlights new areas to focus on. Still a long way from my ultimate goals, but its nice to see muscle memory is real! At a size 15, I haven't been this small in more than 10 years.
APRIL 1st SW: 198.2 | EW: 197.8
Goals: Lose 6-8bs, 2-3 inches and 1-2% body fat ❎❎❎
Lost less than a pound, 1.25 inches combined on arms and legs | regained 0.2% body fat and 1/2 inch back on my belly. Starting dietary 200-400 calorie deficit and Intermittent Fasting 18-24 hrs. Breaking fast differently, including more protein, and continuing to look for new ways to increase step count and add more strength in May.
Reaching onederland (March 13th) meant the end of 10+ years and up to 80 pounds!! gained and relost too many times to count. Yo-yoing is the main reason for so much body fat!!! Determined not to continue to self-sabotage ... I need a new target!! If I should lose an additional 8% body fat to reach the "standard" for my age, height and sex ~ and up to 15% more to reach excellent ~ that's @ least another 8-15 months of work before I can begin to relax and think maintenance.
January 1st - April 1st, I've lost 17 pounds and a total of 20.8 inches from 11 areas. 🥳 Thrilled to see my hard work reversing prediabetes and years of physical damage. Getting leaner and stronger and chair dancing proud of myself about it!! 57 and hormonal, it's taken longer than expected and a much rougher road than my youth.7 -
60+ Female using trend weight
I lost an average of 3 lbs last round. I was focusing on going to the gym 5 days/week. I made it 2 times. Other days I did some walking. So again I will focus on going to the gym 5 days/week.
🐸I will keep the analogy of boiling frog in my head🐸

12/11 - 162.6 - Back down to where I anticipate is a more real and accurate reading. TOM has arrived so this may be a tad bit higher than real, but it's real enough. Somehow yesterday got away from me. Work was hectic and immediately after work we had meetings for the VFW (veterans of foreign wars, which we're a part of) which ran late. I managed, somehow, to get up and get my workout in, despite below freezing temps here in Texas and the lack of sleep. No more late-night obligations this week on the schedule, though, so things should improve going forward. Coach changed my macros yesterday after I informed her I had decided to finally get over being scared and stop taking my hormonal medication. My body's hormones have been dictated by synthetic hormones for too long and it's time to allow it to try to regulate itself. I'm much healthier than I was nearly 15 years ago when I started and my docs said back in September that there's no medical reason I can't give it a try. I had planned to do this in January but I'm so fed up that I'm "rage-quitting" it now. This will be interesting to see how my body reacts. Another side is that I have my Coach until Feb 21st and this will give me a solid 2 months off meds to get her feedback and assistance (she, too, came off hormonal medication in October and has all the certificates/training to help on top of it). Another reason to rage-quit -- with BF's new job starting Monday and a serious pay cut, I can't afford to keep coaching after this pre-paid period ends. At least not until we get adjusted to our new normal, that is. I'll need to go it alone and I'd rather have 2 months of help as I go through this transition than just the 1 I originally had planned (due to being scared is the only reason I pushed it off) Anyway, enough of that. Today is planned meal-wise with those new macros and I'm hoping the rest of this week goes smoothly!
Previous Day's Comments12/02 - I'll take it. BF wanted to go out to eat last minute and then we went to the VFW to hang out and socialize while watching football. I tried to be mindful and estimated my logging. I think, if I logged somewhat accurately, I was within macros or at least close enough to count it. Gym this morning and Coach programmed me a plan - I didn't see it until I was already there and had left my ankle straps at home and one machine was taken the entire time I was there so I had to improvise a bit. I've already looked at tomorrow's workout so I can be prepared. I have a day trip for work Wednesday but, if it's anything like the last day trip to this site, I'll be back around lunch. I'm planning to pack a gym bag so if the opportunity arises, I can stop at the gym to knock out my workout on the way home since I can't in the morning before I have to leave. Meals prepped for this week's dinners and have plans for breakfasts and lunches to get me through on macros. I haven't heard from Coach but she said she may increase macros this week so time will tell.
12/03 - Here's a bit of the drop off I was expecting from all the bloat/water weight of the weekend. Feeling pretty good. Tonight is a bit of up-in-the-air as we're going to the VFW for a couple drinks (mine are 1/2 off tonight). I have to travel (day trip) for work tomorrow so I won't have but a couple (pre-logged) but it'll be nice to get out and enjoy it. The up-in-the-air part is about dinner. I have a meal prep for tonight but are we going for a couple drinks early then come home and eat? Wait, eat, and then go for a couple drinks? Or (hopefully not) BF will want to eat while out and about. We've eaten out Friday, Saturday, and Sunday so I'm hoping we just stick to our meal prepped dinner, either before or after. I have lunch and dinner already prepped (assuming meal prep) and some wiggle room for snacks should we eat after so I'm not having a drink on an empty stomach or getting too ravenous by pushing off dinner a bit. I have a gym bag packed in hopes of hitting the gym on the way home from my site visit for work so long as its not too late. I'll need to improvise breakfast a bit since the plant always wants guests to bring in breakfast tacos (it's tradition at this site having worked there prior to my current employer) as a type of "welcome, let's eat together" type thing. I'm not sure if we'll aim for lunch together or break before then but I'll keep mindful of macros and my dinner is pre-logged already to help with that. Also need to find a chance to walk the dogs tomorrow since I'll likely miss our lunch walk.
12/04 - DNP
12/05 - Travel day for work yesterday so wasn't able to post. It was longer than the last trip but I still managed to make it to the gym to knock out my workout before dinner. BF had already eaten dinner when I got home so I pushed off my dinner to walk the dogs outside while it was still light out and not raining. Despite not being in control of meals for breakfast or lunch, I managed to meet macros so I'm happy! Also hit my water and step goal so checked all the boxes! Today is busy here starting in about 20 minutes with back to back calls for the next 3 1/2 hours (with a small 30 minute break, assuming the noon call doesn't go over which it usually does). I'm hoping to eat during the noon call and walk the dogs during the short break. It looks like rain but the forecast shows nothing so that'll also be a factor. Need to meal plan for next week so I get get my grocery list to knock out that trip while I'm in town for the gym in the morning (plus beat the crowds). Busy busy!
12/06 - I'm bloated from eating dinner so late and something not fully agreeing with my tummy yesterday. Maybe it was just dinner then immediately bed? I'm feeling better now that I've gotten movement and water in - seems the bloating died down almost completely. Good lower day 3 at the gym. I've now completed my first full week of workouts from Coach and feeling really good about it. Groceries have been acquired and I have a lunch planned for the Man and I to eat on a couple days next week. Also have dinners for Monday-Thursday night which I'll prep Sunday. Tomorrow is super busy with back to back meetings for the fire department and combat vets association. Then we're hoping to go get our Christmas tree finally. I think it's late enough it'll stay alive and healthy for Christmas that long since we always get real trees. Hoping for a good day today and through this weekend!

12/08 - DNP
12/09 - Last week was just plain awful. BF wanted to be out of the house pretty much every second he could outside of work which meant I was stressed beyond belief trying to get all my weekend to-do list items checked off AND still go along with him since he wanted me to join in on his adventures as well. I didn't get a walk in/step goal met daily like I had hoped nor did I hit my water goal. Food was very last minute and not always the most ideal, either, though I did try. If he decides to go out after work, I'm telling him absolutely not for me. He's an extrovert while I'm an introvert and my social battery is so beyond drained from last week/weekend that I will need the next month off to try to recover hah! Hopefully this weight will even out a bit more. I'm not sure what Coach has planned for me today as far as any macro adjustments go. I am still in a bulk so seeing the scale go up isn't necessarily a bad thing at the moment so I'm simply trusting Coach to guide me through!

Traveling this weekend did not do as much damage as it normally does. Was able to eat out without guilt and enjoy the food. The low this morning is not a "real" weight loss- I didn't drink enough water yesterday so woke up dehydrated. Should see a bounce back gain tomorrow.8 -
Hi, I'm Charissa, back for another round. I will keep coming back and I will get this thing right, sooner or later.

12/02 DNW
12/03 228.4 ~ Well this isn't pretty at all!!! 😡😡Yesterday started perfectly. I went to the gym for a good workout, but it trailed downhill from there. I've got to practice the art of saying "no". Husband wanted to stop for lunch/fast food. I got a chicken sandwich vs the beef combo that I usually get and a small fry. This restaurant has this " to die for caramel salted cake", and I don't even like cake, so he added one of those to our menu. I took a couple of bites (it is good ) and pushed the rest his way. Calories maxed for the day.... not good. I was no longer in the mood to cook the healthy meal that I had planned so we ordered a pizza. At least it was thin crust. Then he wanted to make pomegranate sours. Angel on one shoulder, devil on the other. Devil wins.... I feel that all or nothing mentality kicking in. That devil is saying, you might as well just wait to January. BUT, I'm not listening. Today is better. I worked out at home since it's a work day. I had a healthy breakfast ~ 325 calories and my healthy dinner WILL be prepared tonight.
12/04 228.0 🚶🏽🍎✅💧⬇️ What do they say… a moment on the lips and a lifetime on the hips? It goes on quickly but then takes an act of Congress to make it go away. Ok, vent done. I'm going to work on resuming IF today. My last morsel of food and/or drink was at 9 last night (because that’s when I went to bed) so I will aim for 1:00pm today which will make 16 hours.
12/05 227.3 🚶🏽🍎✅💧⬇️ I got up and went to the gym this morning. Then due to "circumstances," I had to go to work. I came back home and showered and of course I jumped on the scale and it said 226.8...but I'm continuing with posting my first morning weight🙂 I made 15 hours yesterday and 16 hours today on my fast. I broke it with a protein smoothie and then had some turkey breast. Perhaps a little motivation after seeing that second number on the scale. But.. since I had to work, hubby offered to pick up something for dinner. All that I was going to prepare is still frozen. Let's see what he comes home with...
12/06 227.4🚶🏽🏋️♀️🍎✅💧He came home with Gyros. They were very good and I only ate about 1/3 of my sandwich so I'm good with today's number.
12/07 226.8 ✅⬇️. Almost nothing right and the scale goes down. Go figure. Didn't close my rings, didn't ST, mostly likely over on calories (stopped tracking) and short on water.
12/08 226.6
12/09 226.6 ~ I tried the hot water today. It was actually good, almost soothing!! I bought some lemon today and will add a bit tomorrow.
12/10 DNW
12/11 226.4 🚶🏽🍎✅💧~ had some very salty stuff yesterday..water retention for sure but at least moving in the right direction .... for now. Someone brought a big box of Christmas cookies to work today. I am a sucker for cookies.
@quiltingjaine ~ great picture!! thanks for sharing! I'm going to have to find that Vegas Valley Winery next time I'm there.
@deepwoodslady ~ I resonate with all that you said on 12/07. I lost 8lbs in January, thought I was on a roll only to first maintain and then slowly gain it back. I WAS holding steady with the gain, but have now moved on to another 3+ pounds. Lots of changes this year and you hit on the "food in the house" issue. I've allowed too much snack food and wine back into the house, only to be consumed and now showing on the scale. I love the start of a new year though. I'm going to go back to what I wrote in January 2024 put those actions back into play. You've got this...2025 will be a banner year! And, if I've counted correctly. Round 284 starts on 1/1/2025!!! DGS is a cutie!
@chapter_3 ~ your PJ brunch sounds like a lot of fun and probably a needed relieve. Laughter IS the best medicine!
@JeffreyD_ ~ I hope your GDG is much better and home!
@reshii_devi ~ Are you testing HC/LF (High Carb, Low Fat)? I will be interested in the results. You have done VERY well this round! Keep it up!
@Blueberries59 ~ you describe exactly where I want to be as well. However, I think I'm going to have to make some jumpstarting sacrifices to get this ball rolling.
Welcome @vanguard1 ~ I'm not sure if 12/10 was your first post or I missed it all together. Sorry if I did.
See ya in the next round!7 -

Yes, I logged back onto MFP yesterday for the first time in years. I saw this thread which happened to correspond with the day I started tracking again so I figured I would jump in at the end. Im looking forward to the next round!!5 -

12/6 135.0 Today is the crafts group’s potluck luncheon. I’m making a loaf of bread and made a jar of apple butter as the gift I am giving.
12/7 135.5 I’m okay with that. I had a great time at our potluck and the recipient was thrilled with the bread and apple butter.
12/8 136.0 I’m okay with this. I enjoyed the afternoon and 3 glasses of wine with DD#2 at Sip and Shop. I bought a bottle of dipping oil to go with my sourdough and a pair of pants for my Hawaiian cruise in February.

12/11 135.5 Community bingo tonight. No idea what “dinner” will be. Didn’t do the anticipated shake fast yesterday. My sourdough bread wanted to be a grilled cheese. No TMI x2 Must eat Raisin Bran. It works like a charm and deal with the carbs.6 -

Overall Goals and ChallengesGoals
1. Focusing on behavior and mindset. Calories have been going way over for so long I need to reel the behavior back in a healthy way.
2. Don’t give up on the day when it’s challenging. Choose to make good decisions in those moments instead of giving in.
Challenges
1. Working from home makes it easy to stress eat or just eat out of boredom/habit.
2. Sleeping less (have two puppies, a 6mo and a 10mo old) makes it hard to wake up early enough to get a good workout in or at least to feel good awaking up. Feel defeated in the motivation and drive department compared to how I was previously.
Daily, Small, Attainable Goals1. Finish 1st 27oz water before 2pm
2. Finish 2nd 27oz water before bed
3. Alternate standing and sitting at desk every other hour during working hours.

Ended a little up but I feel my motivation coming back and my mindset healing which is a win for where I was at lately.
The fluctuations over the last couple of days seem odd. I started using a new smart scale a few weeks ago bc I wanted the extra metrics. My other scale I’ve used for years so I know if something is weird or not. I weighed on both the last two days and there was a little discrepancy. Olds scale showed 180 and 179, and new scale showed 182 and 176. The new scale seems to consistently show a higher weight which is fine if it’s consistent. The drop from 182 to 176 seems suspicious. I’ll keep using since I bought it just to give it time. Maybe weigh on both for a while.5 -

Fell off the challenge bandwagon in round 256, managed to keep losing weight until June 12th when I hit 155.9 (70.7 kg). I fell off the weight loss wagon shortly after. Decided to start back up the day before Round 278 started.
SW RND 280: 158.5 (71.9 kg)
12/02- 158.4 (71.8 kg) Happy start of Round 280!
12/03- 158.4 (71.8 kg) It was a cold day today. The lunch option at work was chili with cheddar cheese and green onions, cornbread and pudding. It definitely hit the spot. I was feeling lazy for dinner and went simple with a bowl of Costco meatballs.
12/04- 158 (71.7 kg) It's another cold night. Ivar's potato soup, and biscuits for dinner. I had 2 biscuits which put me 25 calories over goal today, but I'm calling that close enough.
12/05- 158.2 (71.8 kg) Tomorrow we're going to a Christmas potluck at DH's work. I plan to enjoy myself, but not eat to the point where I'm uncomfortably full. I will be wearing my ugly Christmas sweater too. I got one with flamingos in honor of my Florida roots.
12/06- 158.2 (71.8 kg) Well, I did overeat today but not as badly as I first thought. I accidentally logged twice as many corn muffins as I actually ate. The corn muffins were my weakness and I ate too many chips too. But I had a great time and I'll pick back up tomorrow.
12/07- 158.2 (71.8 kg) Same weight three days in a row. I'll take it.
12/08- 157.8 (71.6 kg) I slept through my husband and dog getting up for their morning walk so I didn't join them. I must have been sleeping hard because he told me he hit snooze three times this morning and the dog was jumping on and off the bed. I did get a little more Christmas shopping done today, and stayed within calorie budget too.
12/09- 157.4 (71.4 kg) 1.5 pounds (.7 kg) to go until I'm back at my lowest weight of this year. It would be neat if I meet that or beat that by the end of the year, but I'm not going to sweat it if I don't.
12/10- 157.5 (71.4 kg) I decided on an easy dinner- Eggos, and since I had some room for calories I decided to experiment and put on the normal amount of syrup I would for 4 waffles (filling those squares up!) and weigh it out after. I ended up with just over 3 servings for 330 calories! Just in syrup. Dangerous stuff.
12/11- 156.5 (71 kg) A whoosh this morning, but expecting a sizeable swing up after dinner tonight. I know I'm an emotional eater. A friend and I have been trying to have dinner for months, and I've been cancelled on a couple times, the last time less than an hour beforehand with a litany of flimsy excuses when dinner invitation, date, time and location were chosen by her in advance. This time around, I suggested 3 days this week; she said tonight would be the only one of the 3 that worked. I offered 3 potential dinner options, and was left on delivered all week. I know I'm a B list friend, but I have been struggling with accepting the friendship on its own terms and not feeling hurt and angry. So I decided to take myself out tonight since she never responded. And I ordered the giant chicken sandwich with the fries and queso and I'm stuffed. It was delicious and I did have a peaceful, relaxing dinner instead of wallowing in negativity, but I wish I'd eaten less.4 -
@desolate_angel - Hmm, perhaps the "B-list" title belongs to your flighty friend? Just know that you are worth taking care of!4

@desolate_angel This made me think of my FORMER BFF. We met in collage in 1969 and remained friends for over 50 years- through every life crises we were there for each other. A couple of years ago she met a fellow and they travelled the country together but he got sick snd the returned to Las Vegas where he passed. She called me several times in tears and I went and picked her up. I tried to keep her involved by scheduling manicures, helping at my daughter’s school, anything to keep her from dwelling on her loss. I scheduled and confirmed and she canceled (mainly by not showing up or doing the mani earlier with someone else without letting me know.) The last straw was when I called to see how her cataract surgery had gone. She said she’d call me back but she still hasn’t. It’s been two years. 🤷♀️ Three strikes, your out. Don’t get me wrong, I know me and if she called tomorrow and needed something I would probably be there to pick up the pieces.1

What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.

@quiltingjaine I am just curious if this is your fluffy friend who kept implying you should eat more or lose less weight? I have often wondered what happened with that friend.0 -

@deepwoodslady Former BFF was at one time very large (over 360#) but “Fluffy” and her husband were the ones who told me I was (basically) going to die of if I didn’t eat carbs. They quit speaking to us when we refused to get Covid and Flu shots. 🤷♀️🤦♀️1
