I'm tired of cooking/preparing 3 meals a day. It's just the two of us but boy oh boy can that woman eat!! She stays slimish, I get fattish. It's bad enough I do everything here much less start making her one thing and me the other. At times I feel guilty when I buy her fast food cuz of the nutritional value....not to mention I eat it too.
I’m assuming the cousin on lay -a-way didn’t get one done at a time . 😂😂😂😂
Two cousins got boob jobs - one paid on lay-a-way!
Good luck Bundle and anyone else trying to stop stress-eating!
That’s funny!
My first bra was a 28 triple A! I begged my mom for it! LOL 😝
I remember that some of the girls stuffed their bras with tissue or socks under their school uniforms. I hated our Catholic school uniforms!
I took my allowance to buy blush and lipstick at the drugstore and my dad made me wash my face! I am sure that I looked like a clown because I hadn’t applied makeup before.
The worst thing though is when I asked mom to let me shave my legs. She said no. I went into the bathroom and I didn’t know to use soap and water. I took my dad’s razor to my dry leg and sliced it from my ankle to my knee!
Mom was furious with me but said, “Let me show you how to do it the right way.” Blood was dripping everywhere. She had to bandage my leg. I think she got the message that I really wanted to shave my legs.
She wasn’t strict about my clothes. I had the micro mini skirts because Goldie Hawn wore them on Laugh In! LOL 😝
We didn’t do the pink, purple or blue hair like our kids wanted. My youngest did pink for a while. My oldest had the blue!
And pregnancy too. They fill up with milk!
Now I want to lose weight , but you know where the first place that would be !
Yes dry . And my kids paid attention , they learned . I’m surrounded .
He sounds like my husband who has a dry-wit sense of humor!
My younger cousin got a boob job very young! She hated being flat chested.
She had just barely graduated from college when she decided to get implants.
I don’t know what they costs but I know that it isn’t cheap!
That’s funny! 😁
I remember . DH used to get Sports IIlustrated delivered early in our marriage . A couple of times I hid the swimsuit issue to see if he would ask me if it came in the mail . 😂😂😂
He never did .
Remember all of those Sports Illustrated swimsuit covers of the past?
Now, they are changing their image and placing women of all sizes and ages on their swimsuit cover.
It’s about time! Isn’t the average size of a woman a size 14 these days? It certainly isn’t a size 0 wearing a string bikini!
I saw where Gail King is on the cover. She’s almost 70! She was so funny in the interview.
She said that she was going to watch what she ate. They told her, “Oh no, just be yourself!” So she ate a cheeseburger the day before the photo shoot! LOL 😝
Some seasons are more active than others.
The gulf coast has certainly seen many hurricanes. Sometimes they are back to back in some areas.
Even tropical storms can do a lot of damage. It doesn’t even have to be a full blown hurricane.
A while back the city cleaned out drains. You would not believe the amount of Mardi Gras beads that were in there! 😝
Our streets flood with just a heavy downpour. It doesn’t even have to be a hurricane with massive winds and rain coming down.
Streets started flooding in areas that didn’t historically flood. So, flood insurance is a must for certain areas.
Being below sea level is not helpful either. Plus, we receive a fair amount of rainfall each year.
way - good for you. Found a London Fog trench but only in beige or black. I may buy the black. True London Fog doesn't come in colours I think.
Love the purse colours but how do you keep track changing your purses? I keep the same black one for years., Derek Alexander - lots of places to store things,
need - genetics definitely make a difference. But two of my kids are obese and neither parent is/was. Both their father and I stayed a similar weight for years with a little gain as we got older.
My 23andme DNA testing results addresses weight. I do feel like genetics plays a role in our weight.
There are lots of factors that influences our weight. It’s an ongoing struggle for most people.
Menopause was miserable for me. Others don’t experience symptoms that are severe. We are all different.
Hormones in general control so many things.
Buy yourself a new colorful trench coat or blazer , great idea!!!
I’ve taken to colorful purses, as I don’t have to worry about fluctuating weight !!
I’ve had a bright teal , and a light blue , they’ve since worn out .
Now I have a kelly green , and I just bought a lovely lavender for $20.
I find them all on clearance .
I was always thin until menopause .
A guy in my neighborhood who traveled about 80 percent of the time, had a heart attack due to eating the wrong food, while he was on the road.
He ordered all the wrong food in restaurants. He didn’t exercise at all.
His doctor told him to change his diet and exercise. He started going to the grocery store when he traveled.
He bought ingredients to make healthy salads in his hotel room. He was careful about what he ordered when he went out to eat. He lost weight and is now maintaining a healthy weight.
And working longer hours at a desk job .
My son has been working ridiculous long hours . Probably stress eating too .
My husband traveled alot for work , eating out did it for him most likely.
Metabolism does start to slow down at 30 as well though. This is why people whose habits don’t change still gain weight .
My mother in law was obese since she was 30 . She dieted and exercised in her late 50’s and up and lost alot. Now she can’t keep weight on , it’s falling off , she’s frail, thin and elderly .
I’ve gained the past year , new asthma meds with a steroid . Hard to get the weight off .
Mom’s doctor kept saying that she wanted her to gain a few pounds.
That wasn’t going to happen though, because mom never ate an entire meal at once.
She would take a bite here and there. She didn’t have a healthy appetite.
It is true in a way , I’ve known people who lost 20 or more pounds during a stint in the hospital .
