Done!
Since it's "full" I think we can keep talking about here
I told the helicopter boy that he will have a helicopter buddy..
So how do you eat fruit... or popsicles?
I don't. It makes sticky hands. I do have one solution for an ice cream cone, though:
Ask for scoop to be put in a bowl. Put cone on top like a hat. Ask for a spoon.
Clean hands. Voila! I also recommend this for kids who can't be trusted with a drippy cone.

Yeah, I have a similar friend who thinks she knows everything and tells me & others what we should and shouldn't be doing like she's an expert / authority. She is a teacher and like many teachers, has trouble turning off the "teacher mode" once she's outside the classroom - just like cops. It's irritating. I might add this friend fluctuates between overweight and obese. Uh-hem. Some people should not be giving diet advice.
Amen Sister! If we are below their standards, criticize, and if exceed their expectations, put us down

Maybe we should pack some whiskey "for the snake bites".

My survey today says:
When I offer free popsicles to people in 90 degree weather, 9 : 10 will accept.
1 : 10 will reject a sugary treat due to excess calories.
and
1 who looks IDENTICAL to IHO asked me for 2 more.... Then he asked me how to say, "Thank you" in German. What an odd question. So, of course, I met it with an equally odd answer: "Danke!"
The rejections surprised me and made me think of this thread. I pulled over to the side of the road, popped my trunk, got out, and offered one to the old man school crossing guard. He shook his wrinkled finger in my face and warned me sternly not to give them to the school kids. I am doing them some great disservice by giving them sugar. He seemed angry. No good deed goes unpunished, apparently. ???

2 more donuts... definitely... 2 more popsicles... unlikely.

Do you guys eat with your hands?
I think it's so barbaric.
I try to eat everything with a fork and knife - even a sandwich. I don't like anything on my hands. It makes packing snacks a little difficult but planned snacks are necessary to keep spontaneous eating of bad food away.

How's everyone's diet going?
I baked red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting in spooky Halloween cupcake liners for Mr. SoCal to share at work today - 'cause big boys need treats, too. I'm kind of the "room mom" of his group.
Unfortunately, that meant I had to "test" some last night when I was making them. Through the lips, to the hips!

Moment on the lips, forever on the hips
I didn't bake anything, but loved eating the cheesecake singles from Costco. No gain on the scale though. I have stopped walking/ gym/ good diet- everything actually. It's OK. I will get back to all of it very soon, as soon as I gain 2-3 lbs that won't come off.
Over the weekend, met a friend. She went on and on and on and on about how she can't diet, or rather she wouldn't, and how her eating is important for her well being and topped it off with a classic statement that she didn't need to diet or exercise. I had overdosed on Dayquil/Nyquil combo, mood was such that I wanted to tear her clothes and expose those tightening/firming items she wore underneath, but better sense prevailed.
What is it with comparing with everyone on everything?
I was happy 25lbs ago, I am happy today, and I will be happy 10lbs down the lane.
SoCal- anyone bother you about the weight and diet?
Eggs and toast with peanut butter, warm apple cider.

Yes! Unless asked to intervene, they should keep themselves zipped.
It's funny, when I gained a lot in March, I was bullied for filling in my clothes, and now I am being bullied for taking too much care of myself! (BTW, if someone says something that hurts your feelings, it's bullying- my little one told me that.)

Oh, dear. I think we have the same friend.
Last year, she told me she was concerned about my health due to weight gain.
I thought long and hard about it. I decided she was right (for once. ) I put the wheels in motion and lost a lot of weight.
We met for dinner at Bucca Di Beppo to catch up after months of not seeing each other. I didn't touch the bread. She criticized me. "A little bit is NOT going to hurt. EAT IT. :" She was practically throwing it at me. And, "Pssshh." and "Ugh :" when I wouldn't split a dessert with her like we used to do.
WHICH IS IT, LADY?!? You're driving me crazy! >
:'(
Honestly, I don't see her much anymore. I can only take her in very small doses. I try to have an internet-only friendship with her. Works for me.

ROFL! I think we do share the same friends, or all our lady friends are like that- they just want to give us the spare change- the two cents that crowd their Vuittons I am so tired of this constant criticizing over weight/ laughlines/ grey hair/ crows feet. And it's not like I am looking like an old woman- I look much younger than the chronological number.. It is easy to please a man than a fellow woman.
