I'm leaving for a trip on Sunday and I'm really nervous about flying. I normally don't get this nervous this far in advance but my stomach is in knots about it. I'm hoping the feeling goes away soon, I want to just be excited about vacation!
I love them. I just bought some high waisted bottoms for my trip this weekend. I found mine randomly in Abercrombie but I was going to order some on Asos. The high waisted bottoms are popping up everywhere so I don't think it'd be hard to find some to try on in store to see if they suit you! You look amazing in the one piece though!
Haha this is probably flame worthy but my husband and I went to see Ariana Grande spontaneously last night. We ended up with good seats! And had a good time pretending we were young enough to be there!
Hi! I'm bumping this thread to ask you if you've gotten this romper yet! I signed up for an alert for when they restocked and I ended up ordering it! I'm very excited and would love to know what you think about it.
Didn't we JUST do the 'my friend is fat and it's giving me the saaaaaadz' the other day? Brew, go back and look how it ended for that poster and realize how terrible you sound. belch.Â
Must have missed that post. I for sure need to stop thinking this I know it's not nice or right.
And I am kind to her. I am just venting here. Cause I totally wouldn't say any of this to anyone I actually knew.
I just don't understand why it's that annoying, given the fact that she's struggling with depression/emotions. Isn't that what friends do--give their friends some breathing room when sh*t is sucking?
Yeah for sure. And I'm still all ears and willing to sit and hear her out. All I'm saying is that sometimes it gets old. She doesn't talk about anything else in her life. Not her pet, job, friends, things she's done. It's just complaining and wondering how she's going to lose the weight and has even talked about getting prescriptions from the dr. INSTEAD of trying working out and eating right.
She can't be chubby and beautiful? I'm only complaining about her complaining. I didn't think I was going to get support for thinking this way. I know it's not great of me to be frustrated at her. I just wish there were something I could do to help her so she wouldn't say things like I'm not going to the lake with our family because I'm too chubby for a swimsuit. It really does kill me because I love her and want her to be comfortable with herself. I just get so frustrated at her lack of motivation.
you look familar. Â Are you from Milwaukee area? Brewers fan?
Nope Minnesota girl. I must have a very familiar face because people have come up to me before saying that I look like someone they know.
Not sure if this is still a confessions thread But I have one. A year ago my younger sister got engaged and was engaged for about 3 months until the guy just decided that he didn't want to marry her anymore. Anyway she got real down about it (which I don't blame her for) but it's lasted for too long now and she's put on probably like 25 lbs from it. She is really chubby now and I feel bad saying this but it's really hard being around her because she complains about being chubby but then goes and eats all kinds of fast food and junk food. I feel bad for her but I'm SO TIRED of her complaining and not doing anything about it.
Complaining gets annoying. I annoy myself, sometimes. However, it's obviously an emotional thing, and not as easy as just dropping the weight. She's depressed. So you need to kind of be kind, there.

Look I'm not saying she HAS to lose weight! I think that if she wanted to keep the weight and she was confident with it, great! I think she's beautiful, she's beautiful with 25 lbs or w/o. I'm just sad and frustrated at her complaining.
LOL. A beautiful 'really chubby' complainer. You sound so supportive. No really. You do.

I would never say this to her and am still trying to be super supportive by doing active things with her but when this is seriously all she ever talks about and then sends snap chats to me about eating an entire pizza herself is kinda like ummm I'm not sure what I'm supposed to say at that point. We booked a vacation to hawaii this winter because she said that would help motivate her. I'm so hoping it does because seeing her unhappy really makes me sad.
To bad she wasn't more like you. Â I call bullshit on your story.Â

I've been trying to eat healthy for awhile, around 8 months I'd say. I lost 25 lbs and eating healthy has really just stuck around. Except for yesterday. I ate Taco Bell and Culvers yesterday. Two tacos chips and cheese, soda, a burger, fries, frozen custard. Today my stomach is killing me. Maybe this belongs in a flameful thread.
Plus if she were okay with her body right now I would have no problem with it! It's not that I want her to lose the weight, I'm tired of her complaining about it all the time as if she can't do anything about it.
But, it sounds like she's going on bike rides and at least trying to eat healthier (getting recipes from you, packing her lunch)? So maybe you should back off with your "frustration?"
I guess maybe what I'm more frustrated about is how she's going about losing the weight. She keeps doing these "diets" like the detox one where you drink lemon and pepper and maple syrup or whatever or the south beach diet, loses one lb and then complains about either gaining it back or not losing more. I keep telling her to lose it a healthy way so that its less likely to gain back and she says it's too hard that diets work better. Maybe I have misplaced frustration and thank you for helping me see that.

It's not like I'm just frustrated and have been giving her attitude or anything. I'm listening to her and helping her, giving her recipes of what's easy to make for lunches and going on bike rides and things like that but I get tired of her saying the same things over again. And look I'm a real person, I'm not sure how you want me to prove that, I've already uploaded a picture in my AMA thread.

I'm so glad my sister isn't an asshole.

Haha, this thread just reminded me that I want to try this. I just made an appointment to get them done next week. I do have a question though, they last for about a month I'm told, what happens when the month is over? Do they just fall off? Or do you have to get them removed?
I am a nanny who has been looking for a family to work for well I found a family and they asked me to work for them (yay!!) but I kinda want to say no because it's finally warm in MN and it would be nice to have the summer to just do whatever I want and go to the cabin whenever. My husband wants me to take the job but I might just say no even though it'd be nice to have the money.

I used to love to have my windows open at night and then the neighbors told me they saw a guy peeping into my windows and I never ever had them open again. I've moved since then and live on the 10th floor of a condo building with only one window that partially opens. I can't wait til I move into a house and can have my windows open again. All that to say I'm jealous that your windows are open. The weather in MN is perfect for it right now.
