Good morning Wildcats!!!
I know.... who are you!? Where have you been!?
I've made a hard decision.... I cannot battle my scale anymore!! I had a run-in about 10 years ago when I let the scale rule my life, and it was NOT healthy for me... I ended up doing unhealthy things to myself.
So, I'm admitting that I can see that same pattern coming, and I just can't go there again. I'm staying away from the scale, and working on how I look and feel. Which means, no weigh-ins, so no team support in that aspect.
I very much want to keep in touch with my wonderful Wildcats, and will pop in and out once in awhile to razz you all~!!

But NOW..... to the subject at hand.... today is June 23rd!!!! Has our bathing suit challenge been forgotten by all but me!?!?!
ANJ... and let's see, was it Linsey, Lacy, Betsy.... who else? If you're still up for it, I'll post the photo tonight when I get home. A promise is a promise.... let me know!!!!!

I love you all my wonderful Wildcats!

First, I am really bummed that you are leaving. HOWEVER, I am even more proud of you for seeing changes in yourself that you may not like, and being strong enough to admit them and doing whatever it takes to change them. I have missed you so much and I am glad to see you here.

As for the bathing suit challenge...I have not forgotten I actually groaned a bit this morning when I realized what the date was though, lol. I am still in and I will still post my pic, but it may take me a day or two.

Hey, I don't know if it's gonna happen or not, but Linsey mentioned something about making a cheerleader part of the Wildcats Roster. You may not be weighing in, but I definitely think that you need to stay a part of this team! Put your name in to be a cheerleader

i did not cheat this weekend! okay, yea i did. i'm still getting used to this no s diet. and this was the first weekend 'pass' i had so i wasn't real sure how to handle myself. but it was a lessoned learned so no worries. have a great day cats!

If it makes you feel any better I had a steady Smirnoff buzz going from 11:30 yesterday morning until 5 last night. Trust me, I had to spend the afternoon with my in-laws (which included my father-in-law making ooooglie eyes at my butt!), so I didn't mind cheating on the diet if it meant keeping the sanity.

Aw Anj, thank you so much! I have missed you, and all the Wildcats as well. And thanks too for the acknowledgment.

As for cheerleading.... ABSOLUTELY!!!! That would be perfect for me! I could still post my goals and be accountable, but not take up someone else's space for weighing in. I would love, love, love that!

And it will take me a day or two as well to figure out how to get my photo downloaded. Are you going to put it in your "home" page? That's the only way I know how to do it. I'm not real computer savvy.

perhaps he would! omg- what a perv. i hate being in situations like that. whenever i go over to a relatives house that has the wandering eye, i make sure i wear tons of unflattering layers, ha! thanks for making me feel better anj!

OMG!!! We are so in the same boat here! It's self-preservation mode... that's all.... and I find it a perfectly acceptable thing to do. My father-in-law has gotten even worse now that my mother-in-law passed away (2.5 years ago). It's horrible! I don't let my hubby leave my side when he's around "If I were 20years younger and you weren't married to my son......" Uck!!!! I love him and all, but NOT LIKE THAT!!!!!!!!!!!

Geez...you all are gonna make me cry!

Yeah, that's probably where I will put mine. I don't think I'm brave enough with it to put it out here for the world, lol!

I can't even say I love my FIL...he just totally creeps me out. Especially when he doesn't put his partial dentures in. YUCK!!!!!!! And considering he wore a shirt yesterday that said "Mess with me, mess with the whole trailer park" you should be able to get a pretty good mental picture there. He is married and his second wife is just as weird as he is!

Yeah, I don't go over there without Tim and refused to be left alone with
Skip. He has tried to put the moves on all three of his daughter-in-laws. We all have to stick together.
