I am so frustrated with this computer! We keep losing the connection, and it's super-slow to start with (usu. 24 kbps). I actually started working on this last night, but lost the connection. Today the computer is giving me problems as I'm trying to pay bills, so I thought I'd try to post this while it's still working at all.
Dawn, I didn't receive an add in my Yahoo e-mail yet. It has been so long since I've used the Yahoo IM, I can't remember if those come in e-mail or in an IM message when you log on. I'm not even sure that we can use IM with our slow connection, but I'll keep checking my e-mail and will try to get around to downloading the Yahoo Messenger program again and trying it out soon.
Angel, it's fine if you e-mail me. At least I can get e-mails most of the time!
Went shopping yesterday for more shorts, but the store I went to was nearly out of shorts and didn't find the size and brand I wanted. The 18W denim shorts I had been wearing had gotten a little baggy and I had thought maybe I could fit into 16W's. Was disppointed that the 16W jeans and capris I tried did not fit, except one pair that fit very snugly. Decided not to buy the jeans since it is still be too hot for jeans most days. Jeans are for wearing somewhere at night or where there's REALLY good air conditioning! I feel strange in shorts sometimes, but wear them in self-defense to avoid having a heat stroke. Oh well, guess it's the 18 for now. And that 16W dress fits so well! Maybe the problem is that my hips and thighs haven't lost enough for the 16W yet. If only they still had a good inventory of shorts! WHY do stores around here quit selling shorts in July when we'll need them at least till October or November?!!
I've been playing with numbers and looking back to see how many years it's been since I've weighed this little. I think it's been about 7 years. When I reach 215, that will be the first time at that weight since around November 1997--almost 9 years. The lowest adult weight I have recorded was 144 in April & May 1995, except for 128 around Christmas 1989 when I was barely 20 and working 50+ hours a week at a stressful job. I'm 5' 6" or 5' 7" and had a few people say that was a little too thin for me. My weight was 148 in December 1995, but I hit 180 at the end of June 1996 and continued climbing for several years. I think maybe it was stress that caused me to gain so much. Have you read FLYLady & Leanne's Body Clutter book? They both mentioned similar situations.
My life is certainly less stressful today than it used to be, but the weight isn't falling off. It has been a fight, but I'm slowly winning! I feel like I'm reclaiming previously lost territory as the pounds decrease toward what my weight used to be. Wonder how much longer till the whole 10+ years that I've been dragging this body clutter around can be reclaimed?
