Well, I felt that I just needed to get it out. Better to be on my journal than on someone else's right?

It really wasn't aimed at anyone in particular, just a general rant.

Thanks for letting me have my tizzy fit and get on with things.

After I got it all out in writing, I went out and did some barn chores. I took Cash for a walk and brushed Roxy to a glossy shine. All is well with the world!

[lifelovinaries]

Holy moly, that ovary chick sounds just like me sometimes!!

Sojo, i take that as a compliment!!! But sounds like RM got out her frustration and moved on...we definitely need that. Thank goodness for horses!

(a little too much PB here and there and the cookie dough night come to mind) and everyone was so very supportive.

EXCUSE ME!!!

I think you better go back and read that cookie dough post just one more time. I did not give in to that temptation though it was right in my face. Besides that when I did have " a little too much PB here and there" I didn't come crying to MMT asking for forgiveness.

What I was getting at if you really want to "KEEP IT REAL" like you say is to tell it like it is. Nobody can be successful on MF without being compliant - PERIOD. Telling someone over and over again that it is OK, just get back on plan and all will be OK is rediculous. At some point someone HAS to come out and tell it like it is. Continuing to cheat here and there, hurts the progress. Consider all of the aspects of the plan that are being hindered with the cheat and decide what to do from there.

AND ANOTHER THING - this IS my journal. If you don't like what I write in MY journal then don't visit.

[lifelovinaries]

Just wanted to add.....

This is your own personal thread to do whatever you please with.
It doesn't have to be Medifast related.

RM, i do feel that you have the right to write WHATEVER you want to in your journal. Above was found in the journal rules, a quote by Unca on 06/08/06. You guys know i'm having trouble with the quote thing...but that's another post. We are not here for this, we are here for support, OF EACH OTHER. RM apologized to those whose feelings may have been hurt. She stated that she just needed to vent. If she cant vent in her journal, where is she supposed to vent? Maybe brenda was going thru something at the time which had NOTHING TO DO with medifast. c'mon kym, you get pissed too, maybe not about the same stuff but that was part of the reason you didn't post the other day right? You even stated that you didn't want to read the same blah, blah, blah. Well, brenda stepped outta the box and didn't write the same blah, blah, blah that we were necessarily used to hearing. Was it a slap in the face to some? Oh of course!! But it is up to those individual to figure out how they want to deal with it. Either they recognize the issue and adjust it, or recognize the issue and keep doing the same thing. whichever way it goes, IT IS THE CHOICE OF THE PERSON TO WHOM IT APPLIES!! So, let's stop this mess that is starting. If not, OVARY CHICK AND CLAVICAL GIRL (sojo) will have to strangle ALL PARTIES INVOLVED with their wonder capes!!!

I like everyone compliant or not on this site and interestingly enough I love reading RodeoMom and OWTO journals daily . Thanks you gals!

You both had the cajones (sp?) to say what others were thinking and of course that stirred things up. But don't take it out personally on eachother because let's face it, tons of people feel the way each of you do and just didn't write it down. Of course tons feel the way each of you do. Lots of people are like, "Geez, cheating again? What the Heck?" and I am sure lots were upset with Rodeos rant.

I have fallen off at least 3 times since Feb. It wasn't a waste of time or money. I am now 39lbs less than Febuary and went from a 16/18 to an 11 and even if I fall off again 3 or more times, I will make goal eventually if I keep to the pattern. I am willing to pay 10 times what I have paid in MF to loose 40#, or even 20 really and who knows what I am willing to pay to get into a size 6 but I am sure it's alot more than all the MF costs I will have during my jorney!

Honestly, I was offended for all of 10 seconds when I first read your rant. I took it very personally because I just posted that my Bf (now in the 30 club... started just a few a weeks ago) and I had just cheated and were having a hard time.

Then I thought of how much I disagree with what you said and how silly it would be to be upset by someone just sharing her feelings in her own journal. So after about 10 seconds I was sooo over it and have no animosity toward you, Rodeo, at all Like I said, you aren't the only one who was thinking it about me, or others who aren't doing as good as you are. You just happen to be one of the only ones who posted it.

Isn't it wonderful to be able to laugh at ourselves over silly stuff??? That's why we all love this place!!!

We interrupt Rodeo's journal for the following statement:

As stated above... these journals are here for the users... it is for their own use. We are here to support, not jump down each others throats. If someone has a problem with someone, please take it privately by way of PM or PM a moderator.

That said, I do find it funny that Erica is now Ovary chick... boy, Sojo, the power and influence with which you yield your words.

... and by the way... we love you ALL.

.... and now back to our Rodeomom's regularly scheduled journal

Thanks, Sojo. And in the future can we save shouting (HUGE FONT ALL CAPS) for celebrations not differences in opinion? (not referring to this post Soj, you are not shouting.) Some of us come from dysfunctional backgrounds and the shouting is very uncomfortable.

[rodeomom]

DISCLAIMER: This one is a long one - but I don't think it will offend anyone. As always; however - read at your own risk.

Well, today went pretty well. I did some extra chores in the barn since my daughter "forgot" to do her part yesterday . This time I did concentrate on particular muscle groups as I worked (THANKS SOJO) and I felt good when I was done. All together I spent about 2 hours in the barn, cleaning, sweeping, moving hay etc. and when I left the house all horses were in their correct pastures or stalls. Well, when I got home I noticed that two were missing from one field and there were 2 extra in another. Seems that my sister's kids' horses blew through the electric fence to visit my daughter's horses in the other field. That meant that I had some fence mending to do. I could have taken the tractor out, but instead I decided to walk out to the damage to repair it. Then I walked the entire perimiter of the field (5 acres) to check for any other problem areas in the fence. Needless to say, I am feeling like I got my quota of exercise in today .

The ultra sound for my ovary issue was this afternoon. I am nervous about getting the results. While I am sure I am just making a bunch of something out of a whole lot of nothing, I can't stop myself from being concerned.

I know many of us are thinking about the upcoming T-Day. At first, I was worried about how I would handle it, but now I don't have to worry. My parents are taking my daughter out to Montana for 9 days to scout out territory for our upcoming move in the spring. They leave this Friday. I was upset over the whole thing at first (I mean, why am I the lucky one that got elected to stay home and take care of the farm?) Then the benefit of having the whole place to myself for 9 days hit me and I am really looking forward to that. So T-Day will be just another day for me.

This Sunday is another issue - I will be representing my daughter at an awards banquet for 4-H. It is a pot luck so there will be TONS of food. My plan is to arrive late and miss the feeding frenzy, but I am hoping that is enough. To top it off Sunday night our church is hosting the local holiday dinner. I volunteered to bring in cookies and I had considered actually baking them since I LOVE to bake, but I think I may go for some store bought ones this time since I also LOVE to eat cookie dough.

My quest this week will be to find what I am calling a WOW Outfit. Most of the folks that will be at the 4-H banquet have not seen me since August and 300 pounds - that was 48 pounds ago. I am hoping to find the perfect outfit to show off my progress. The plan is to coast on the NSV's I will get in order to stay away from the buffee tables.
I have a couple outfits in mind. Maybe I will post photos of them and take a vote?

OK - so I have rambled long enough. Feeling good this evening and ready for a great night's sleep.

[bikipatra]

Doing the vote sounds fun! I hope your results turn out okay from your test.

[rodeomom]

Thanks for the positve vibes on the ultra sound results Biki. You are such a sweety to be thinking of me. Nothing yet, tick tock tick tock...

So, I went shopping today and GUESS WHAT.... I bought a dress in a size 16. Best part about it is I can get it zipped and everything! . Ok, so it is a tad snug and I wouldn't wear it in public yet, but WOW! I was actually crying when the lady running the fitting room zipped it up for me. Best part of the whole thing, this normally $200 dress was on CLEARANCE for $13.00 - no I didn't forget a zero - $13.00. It was just providence! I got a couple of other things to sample for my WOW outifit for Sunday too. I will do a fashion show for my daughter tonight and have her take a few picks. Then I will take a poll from ya'll and see which one I will wear to WOW everyone at the banquet on Sunday.

I really feel soooooo good right now! Even though I just totally messed up a pair of my mom's slacks that I am supposed to be hemming for her. Still trying to figure out how I am going to fix them. Man, they still have the tags on them and I cut them too short.

Anyway - nothing can bring me down too far today!
