~~Kit: Hey... Paula... Good news. It's Champagne Thursday. ~~ (Failure to Launch) Okay, so I went with a movie quote today. People just do not sing many songs about these boring middle of the week days. Today is one day closer to Friday!! We are getting there, so so close!!! I am not going to rent a car, I am going to borrow my sister in laws truck, not the one that I drove to work for 7 months, but my other sister in law. She was totally cool with it, and she will drive my car, since she works less than 5 miles from our house. Im excited, because the $340 was going to take half of the trip budget and that would have really put a damper on what we would be able to do. We are doing pretty good on Ebay, so we should have a good amount, especially considering I am selling DVDs at the local pawn shops for work and they split the money with me when I bring it back. We have made about $200 in the last two weeks. We have a TON of DVDs here! lol Speaking of work, we had a HUGE influx yesterday. We have been averaging around 70-90 order and then suddenly yesterday, we get hit 321!! It was insane!! Something, somewhere, clicked and we just got a huge boost! Its nice, but very unexpected. I like to think its because I have been praying about my job and my attitude that helped, but ya never know. Dinner went well with mom last night, I ate 13 carbs total yesterday, though she did ask me after my husband left the table for a minute "Since you are losing the weight, do you think that kids are a possibility?" and I was kind of taken aback. I didnt know how to respond. We live in a basement bedroom in my inlaws house, we cannot afford to get a one bedroom apartment, let alone have a kid! Plus, we made it clear when we got married 7yrs ago that we didnt want to have children. Part of my thinks about it, feels like a failure as a woman because I didnt have kids, but the other part of me, the one who knows how impatient I can be, who knows how selfish I can be, is glad I didnt have kids, because I dont think I would be a very good mother. I didnt want to make my mom sad, so I just said "With our current situation, we just cant. We wouldnt be able to" and she said she understood, but you never know. We have Garrett, he is enough for me! I see him whenever I want to, I spoil him rotten and I go home. I dont know... Tomorrow is weigh in day, to see how well the OMAD is working out. I feel better, I am never hungry, and I feel like I am doing well. My pants barely stay on, all my shirts fit like circus tents, so I am doing something right! lol Funny story, I was carrying a rubbermaid container full of DVDs the other day, and I had to go down a little flight of stairs and usually I hold my waist band so my pants dont slip. Well, my hands were full, halfway down the steps I felt it happening, I tried to hurry, but I was 4 steps from the bottom when my pants fell. Not all the way to the floor, but just under my butt, so my whole butt was hanging out, I dont wear thongs, but I definitely dont wear full briefs...so it was ALL out! I had to nearly jump down the last 4 steps, drop the tote and pull my pants up. I was outside, in the middle of the afternoon, on a busy street. It was terrible!! I guess a belt is in my future. haha Today I will pray for continued success at work, I will thank God for the influx of orders, and pray that the orders continue. I will pray for my continued weight loss, I will pray that I reach my goal that my body cooperates. I will pray for my situation, that the Lord opens doors so we can get a place of our own. I will pray for all of us here who are struggling, those who do not see themselves in Gods light, but in their own. I will pray for eyes that see beauty beyond the outer appearance. I will pray for blessings and grace for all of us! In the Holy name of Jesus, AMEN!!! I hope you all have a wonderful day!!

Oh my gosh, lol! I mean it's funny now that it's over and in the past, right? The silly situations we get ourselves into. :) You do need a belt, for sure. I have two daughters and right now, neither of them want children. I was just talking to my family yesterday about how interesting it is to me, that back in the day, before technology - people had nothing, not enough food or money and all they did was have kids. Families had 5-8 kids regularly. Now, we have all this convenience and technology, and the economy is good, and I know so many people that are choosing not to have children. It's just an interesting observation. Let me make this clear though, you are in no way less of a woman. You are strong, brave, and beautiful. You are just as much of a wonderful woman, whether you have children or not. I respect my girls decision not to have children. If they change their mind, I will be happy, of course. However, I would rather them not have kids vs. have them and not take good care of them or expect me to raise them, lol. So glad you can borrow the truck, that gives you some much needed relief in the money department. Hugs Klynn!

This was good to read. I hope you have a wonderful weekend. Until you get a belt you could use a safety pin.

Many(not all) people had a bunch of kids way back then because there was no birth control and, since there was more/harder work in and around the home, more hands got more work done. Personally, i wanted six kids but ended up with one. But a person's worth is not dependent upon whether or not they have children.

@Peasy, yes, it is funny now that it is in the past! lol It was horrible at that time!! haha. Thank you for that, I stopped having a monthly visit when I was 16, so I always thought I was broken or less than what I am supposed to be. I dont know if its the advent of technology or the fact that people spend more money to just do basic things like buy milk or gas. I know one of my main reasons is cost, I would want to give them the kind of life I wish I had, and I couldnt afford that. I wouldnt want them to feel like the "poor kid" or anything like that, beacause they didnt have the newest this or that. I know it sounds silly, but I was that kid, I used yellow #2 pencils when everyone else had Lisa Frank kitten pencils, and I was exiled and made fun of. It was hard. Yes, Iam glad that that she was ok with me borrowing the truck, it was a definite weight lifted! ~~~~ @Cj I used that one last Thursday, lol, I think that may be one of like 3 songs with "Thursday" in it. haha I might try the safety pin, I just have an irrational fear of them popping open on me! haha

Yes! You need a belt or smaller pants 😁 haha! you are doing so well!
If you ever are in a situation where you want to have kids, I’d highly recommend it. They teach you so much and fulfill you in a way nothing else can. You would be a great mom! No one knows what they are doing or thinks they will be good at it but once you are in charge of a tiny person you rise to the occasion. Have a great day Klynn and good job at the restaurant! I’m proud of you

Motherhood changes a woman; I gave up my career to embrace it. I never wanted children, because I was abused as a child. I thought it was inevitable that I would become an abuser, too. Also, I had a career! When I did finally decide to have children, I was 30, and doctors told me that I waited too long, that I would never have them. I had my first at 35, and didn't want a second. God had other plans, and the second arrived when I was 40. They are adults now, and were some of the best things to ever happen to me. This comment leaves out a bunch of steps, but the point is, whatever you decide will be the best for you.

I agree deeply with you. Mistakes hurt a little when you are dieting but it means you are really trying. Thanks for sharing, god bless.

Motherhood is great for those who choose it (and for some that have it happen accidentally! lol) However, if you are sure you do not want to and/or would not be a good mother, do not let anyone pressure you into it. Only you can determine what is best for you.

Great post. I am really happy for you that you are successful and I can tell it is making you happy too!

I made the choice to not have kids. I didn't feel like I would be a good mom. I wanted to do I wanted and kids would have stopped that from happening. I was told I was "selfish" but in reality, I saved a child from being ignored and feeling like they weren't wanted. Eventually I met and married a an with two sons and I became a part time mom. It worked out well. I love my ready built family and I'm able to still do the things I want to do. God has a plan for all of us. Keep your heart open to whatever he brings you.

Nothing wrong with not wanting to have children. If I had it to do all over again, I don't know that I would have had one. I am glad to read that you are in such a good place in your life right now. I am very happy for you and I will be praying for your continued success in all things.

Ditto to above. Adding...ditch the too big pants before you get hurt...speaking from experience here. If you are continuing to lose, there are lots of places for low cost clothing because as you change sizes, you will need more!

This may be a dumb question, but what is OMAD???? Thanks in advance :)
17 May 18 by member: AZ Julie
|
Not a dumb question at all. OMAD means One Meal A Day, its a form of intermittent fasting. You get all your calories from the one meal you eat and the rest of the day you stick with liquids. I do coffee in the morning and water until around 7pm, then have dinner and thats it.

Yikes!!! Kudos to you for being able to do that. My blood sugar would plummet too low and then I would get hangry.... no one would want to be around me :)

lol thats how my sister is, if she doesnt eat, shes a bear. I use coconut oil in my coffee and whipping cream so the fat intake is high in the morning and keeps me full most of the day. Its usually about 4pm before I start feelings peckish.
