Donna, did you see Jonathan on Letterman's show last night? He's a hoot! I'd read about him liking the "Dropkick Murphys", but haven't heard any of their stuff.

I can never turn off the b*tch switch at will....so if you can tell me how to do it, I'd be happy.

Margie, if you want a sense of who "Margie" is, just call me and ask.

"When I saw Karens post where she said she was accepting she is a size 10 I found myself saying OMG because I've been dancing around because the new jeans I bought on Monday were a size 14! You would have laughed at me if you saw me pulling out a size 10 and looking at the size thinking how wonderful it would be if I could actually fit into that size like you gals do. If I am able to get into a size 10 by the end of 2008 I will be on cloud nine. I really do not see myself ever fitting into anything less than a 10 and most likely I may settle in at a 12. I think it goes to show how individual we are."



Thank you, Margie, for that dose of perspective.



A few years ago, I was dancing a jig in the dressing room when I got into a size 10. But was that good enough? Nope, not for me. So I spent some "quality time" with a trainer and got into a size 6. Man, I felt hot! But, once I wasn't working with the trainer, I simply could not keep up the same kind of eating/exercise. I have definitely gained weight & inches. Sometimes, I feel sorry for myself, but your post has helped me snap back into reality a bit. After all, I'm still smaller than I was 4 years ago, I am very healty, and I am at a level I can maintain w/out killing myself. There's still that little voice telling me I've failed, though. How do i get rid of that? Maybe I should just toss out or hide the size 6s in my closet (and the 8s that are too tight) and stop worrying.

Thanks. I guess I feel sort of out of control lately, and that is really uncomfortable for me. I need to take stock of what I'm doing and see what I can give up so that I can take care of me.



DH and I are still kind of dancing around each other; yesterday's session with the therapist was difficult. I know that we are both highly committed to our marriage. That gives me hope.
