But my thing was more Ralph Lauren urban cowgirl or hippie gypsy. Though I did have a fabulous coral Calvin Klein jacket with shoulder pads and I loved it truly. For the first, last and probably only time, in 1979 I fit into a pair of Size 14 Calvin Klein blue jeans. I loved those jeans so much! And I looked fabulous too. I was a babe. 1 5 Link to comment

I bought the dark chocolate ones on a whim because they were on sale, and I wish I hadn't. Those things are so damn good. It helps being a chocolate snob. When you buy chocolates at $50/pound (or more), you don't want to eat more than the teeny 50 calorie piece at the time... On the fashion side, I love the 70s. I wasn't even born until early 80s, but how can you not love bell bottoms? I am so glad they made a couple comebacks so I could flaunt them! They are so incredibly cool with high heels. 4 Link to comment

Hellga April 4 Share April 4 Hey, she actually lost over 60 pounds! I guess she really is walking the walk! Good for her. Now, can she keep it up and built up on her success or will she go back to overeating? She sounds more alive so hopefully it's a turnaround in her mood/life overall and not just in her diet. 4 Link to comment
Chicklet April 4 Share April 4 She did it, daughter in law or whoever that is sure didn't lose a pound. 3 2 Link to comment
Pepper Mostly April 4 Share April 4 11 minutes ago, Suzywriter said: They all seem to think that eating food that they don't like as much as their usual preference equals sticking to the diet. And they never succeed because they regard eating healthy as punishment. They always whinge about never being able to eat anything "good" again. They just glumly chomp up plates of unseasoned overcooked chicken breast and canned green beans. 4 1 Link to comment

CrazyInAlabama April 4 Share April 4 (edited) 4 hours ago, judylo said: Where’s the hubby? On the road? In someone else’s bed? Russell (husband #3) is a long distance truck driver. Most of the long haul truckers I've known are only home for a few days every month, and that was before the pandemic. There's a constant shortage of drivers, so I bet the husband's lucky to come home for more that a day a month. Edited April 4 by CrazyInAlabama 1 Link to comment

Yeah, that's another attitude I hate. Right now I am not eating any meat or any sweets for six weeks. Well, I make my meals as exciting as I can. My vegan chili isn't as good as my meat chili, but it's still a pretty tasty meal. And so on. 1 2 Link to comment
