Can I have permission to eat junk food for a few days?

[SarahB]

I really don't want to get fat, but this week has been a tad stressful (new job, quit old job, we filed for divorce). However, if you grant me permission, you have to come back Saturday and post a thread to remind me to start eating healthy again.

By the way, I've already started unfortunately with pizza. Any additional suggestions?

[sniffa]

1. i forbid you

and now you must be punished!

:spank:

[SarahB]

5. I think my inner dominatrix got eaten my inner child.

:scared:

[russian33]

2. Yep, you got my permission..

Want me to sign something?

[SarahB]

3. Nah, this is good.

:)

[StopTheMorans]

4. you have my permission. now start in on the chocolate milk and pork rinds

[SarahB]

6. no pork rinds

How about chocolate milk shakes and BBQ Cape Cod chips?

[StopTheMorans]

13. alright, you can have chocolate milk shakes and pork rinds

:P

[SarahB]

19. Do you actually like pork rinds?

:puke:

[StopTheMorans]

24. no, but i know that they're really fatty, and you DID say that you wanted

to eat junk food :7

[Richardo]

7. Sorry to hear about the divorce, SB

:hug:

Hope it gets better soon!

BTW: Nothing unfortunate about pizza. Treat y'self.

[SarahB]

10. Thanks.

Oddly enough, my ex is much more likable when I don't feel like I'm forced to be with him. Still necessary though for us unfortunately. :(

[AlCzervik]

8. eat slowly you'll get fuller faster.

[SarahB]

20. What about through inhalation?

It's pathetic today.

[AlCzervik]

23. If it's that bad today then unhinge the jaw and tip back the fridge.

then get back on track in the morning. It'll get better.

[readmylips]

9. No, to junk food....please...

have mercy on yourself. Especially if you're getting divorced. You need good food to help you think right and find another lady/guy.

Stock your refrig with WeightWatcher's ready to eat meals. Each meal has less than 300 calories and healthier for you. Eat lots of fruits, drink coffee/tea to kill your hunger.

[SarahB]

14. I'll go back to my healthy self in a few days.

This is merely temporary. Yeah, I often question exactly what I'm thinking sometimes. :crazy:

[readmylips]

27. Sarah: Have a nice bottle of wine, cheese, fruit...

until you're too drunk to eat anything else. Play some loud music and dance away. Sorry about your divorce. My divorce was a blessing.

[OldLeftieLawyer]

11. Barbeque, if you have a good place

Lots of 'que and fries and slaw and baked beans and a waitress who will fuss over you and call you "Doll" and keep the beer coming.

Make a mess. End up with a big plate of bones in front of you.

Burp. Long and often.

Life will look better after that, I guarantee it.

[SarahB]

16. Not a lot of places like that up north here.

Sounds good though. :D

[OldLeftieLawyer]

35. Well, for what it's worth,

this old Southern barbeque lover would even dress up as that waitress and cook 'que for you and call you "doll" and, if it would make you feel better, give you a hug and nice piece of hot apple pie with vanilla ice cream on top for dessert, and I would never even give you a check, because you're having a tough time, and you're a sweetie.

So, considered yourself 'qued and hugged ............. :hug:

[SarahB]

37. Awww... thanks.

:)

[msgadget]

12. You don't want to start that habit

but if you do, will you have an ice cream sundae for me? Thanks!! :bounce:

[SarahB]

18. with hot fudge and marshmallows

:P

[msgadget]

21. Yes, but I draw the line at the cherry

No cherry, but nuts will suffice! :bounce:

[SarahB]

22. Yeah, I could use some nuts.

:7

[Jessica]

15. Absolutely -- and my suggestion would be to

start with Ben & Jerry's Chubby Hubby. :9

[SarahB]

17. LOL!

Can I say I'm 30 pounds thinner than I was when I got married? He, however, ahem, got those 30 pounds. Hee hee! :D

[NewJeffCT]

25. It's a bad habit to get into - so, I say NO

You don't want to end up fat like me.

Do you have any other means of dealing with stress? Hard workout?

Of course, when my ex-wife filed for divorce back in '99, I dealt with the stress by getting a lot of lap dances.

[SarahB]

26. I don't know if lap dances would work.

One never knows though. :evilgrin:
Yeah, there's other means, I'm just not sure about it at the moment. I'm too discombobulated even to think.

[NewJeffCT]

28. the money adds up quickly

...Right when the song is almost over is when the lap dance gets best, then you hear, "do you want another one?" and it's hard to say no. So, you probably don't want to go there anyhow. $20 buys a lot of ice cream...

Though, I'd offer to pay for one or two dances for you if I could watch.

[SarahB]

29. Yeah, I'm rather strait.

I'd watch though. I actually suggested that to my ex once. He thought I was weird. Oh well. His loss.

Meet ya at Kahoots later then? ;)

[NewJeffCT]

32. I can practically walk to Kahoots-Vernon, but

Well, maybe ride a bike is more realistic... but, back in my days of getting lap dances, I was more of a Gold Club guy than Kahoots. I completely missed the hey day of the infamous Zebra Club in Norwalk, though, which was around when I was meeting & marrying my ex-wife.

[SarahB]

33. I don't know the difference anyway.

That was just the only one I even knew of at all. :silly:

I remember back when I lived in Wethersfield, the ones down the Berlin Turnpike had a horrible reputation however for some really skanky types. :scared:

[hickman1937]

30. I say go for it!

I posted this at another site at thanksgiving, then saw it here. So here it is again.

> Remember this motto to live by: "Life should NOT be a journey to the grave

I try to limit this philosophy to 3 months out of the year.

[Left Is Write]

31. You have my permission.

That DOES sound like a stressful week. Don't stress yourself further by fretting about what you have eaten/want to eat. Give yourself a couple of comforting days - a small lapse while you recover from your week will not make you fat.

[Parrcrow]

34. Go nuts Sarah!

chow down, but get some exercize too.

[SarahB]

47. I will.

I'll have a lot to burn off by the weekend.

Right now, I shall have just one more wafer thin mint. Shouldn't be a problem, right?

[GreenPartyVoter]

36. Well, the pudding this gal is having looks yummy and doesn't

seem to have hurt her any. :)

http://www.lardbiscuit.com/chicks/linseyw03.html

[SarahB]

38. She's got my old bod actually.

I feel a bit more comfortable in somewhat smaller skin though now, but she's still a lovely woman in her own right. :)

[NewJeffCT]

40. well, if that's your old bod

If that's your old bod, your soon to be ex-husband is insane for not doing everything in his power to make you happy...and then asking how much more could he do?

[SarahB]

42. He has said those things.

"Said" them anyway. I've been with him since I was only 18 (and he's 10 years older). Things were bad for many years and I just felt like (well, was probably) a doormat for a long time. I just wanted to separate to get my head head together for awhile, but he wouldn't have that. I wasn't going to "keep him in limbo", yet he still tells me he loves me and if I want him back, I could always come back. Mixed messages, huh? All I know is that I need time away from him and our relationship and if this is the only way to do that, then so be it (even if it really is forever and I'm ultimately alone for a long time). He's a good dad and overall, a good person, just so many problems for so long that it finally reached it's breaking point I guess.

[NewJeffCT]

45. sorry to hear that

I was treated like a doormat during my marriage, even though my ex-wife is 8 1/2 years younger than me. (when she filed for divorce, she wanted to know if I'd counter-sue her for mental abuse...) But, my marriage was much briefer than yours and thankfully, we had no children...we got married after knowing each other just 18 months and she filed for divorce a few weeks shy of our one year anniversary.

Now, at least my new wife treats me like the doormat at a 5 star hotel. (just kidding!)

Good luck to you.

[GreenPartyVoter]

41. Yep. I found that looking at pics of plus models and 50s pinups

really helped me make peace with my body, cellulite and all. :)

[SarahB]

43. Yeah, I know what you mean.

If it were 1955 instead, my bod would be a lot more popular as far as what society tells us we're "supposed" to look like, but I feel ok in my skin nonetheless and probably more males like that body type that I once realized (now only if they'd look into my eyes). :)

[GreenPartyVoter]

46. You just gotta hang out in the right places to find 'em, I guess. :^)

[ohiosmith]

39. Enjoy.

[ewagner]

44. Don't do it!!!

There's enough sodium and fat in that stuff to kill a horse.....


besides, if I can't have any NOBODY CAN!!!!!<sulking>

[SarahB]

50. You should have seen what we ate tonight.

Nachos with cheese whiz and chili followed by s'mores for dessert. The kids love it when mommy gets depressed. :crazy:

[Zomby Woof]

48. You don't need permission!

In fact, I will eat some right along with you! :D

Gotta have beer to go with the pizza though! :beer:

[SarahB]

52. I think I have a lingering one in the fridge.

You can split a Sam Adams light with me if you want. :D

[Zomby Woof]

54. let's go!

Here's to your new life! :toast:

[B Calm]

49. The best pleasure in life is food and sex. Knock yourself out

SarahBelle, you only live once!

[SarahB]

51. Sex?

If I keep eatin' like I did today, I won't be gettin' any of that.

Substitution, baby.

[B Calm]

53. Oh you never know, some guys like their women on the plump side.

[SarahB]

55. That's true.

I feel more comfortable with my body though when I can stay reasonably lean. The more comfortable I am with myself, the more free I feel. The more free I feel, well, that's easy to figure out. :7
