Good morning all!

What a glorious morning it is! All SUNSHINE AND RAINBOWS!

Ok, so I am for sure 195 today! I was hoping to see a 194 something, but who am I to look a gift horse in the mouth? I am pleased - I am in the 190's!

Having a little intestinal problems this round that were not apparent last round. In other words, I am having trouble using the restroom. I took Smooth Move again last night and believe it or not it hasn't worked yet. I took it last week as well, and it worked during the night. Last round I only needed to take it once, so this has me just a bit concerned. Really don't know what is going on.

Oh well - the tea will work it's magic and I will be feeling back to normal. Or whatever I consider normal.

Sometimes I wish I was a psychiatrist. Sometimes I wish I could really figure out what makes people tick. A discussion is going on over at the HCG2 board about our perceptions of our own pictures. Personally, I really feel taking pictures are important. It helps us stay focused on our goals, see where we were and where we are. But sometimes we look at our own pictures and cannot see the forest through the trees. We cannot see our own progress. Why is that you think? I am part of this as well so I am not pointing any fingers.

It took me losing 50 pounds before I REALLY saw the changes. I finally notice them. But when I was losing just 15, 20, 25 or 30, everyone else could see the difference - and I was like WHERE? JPS would consistently have to say, "Look at that" - "Look at this" - and I would be like, huh? What is it that THEY see that WE don't see? Why is the perception different? It's the same picture isn't it. Can our minds play that much of a role and skew our perception?

Which brings me to this. Why are so many people afraid to post pictures? Here is a protocol that we FINALLY have that we all know good and well this will do it for us, why are some scared to show their progress. Is that all part of their own perception? Are these people afraid that this isn't really real? Are some people embarrassed to show how big they truly were? But we are all losing! It's coming off. If you post pictures are some afraid we wont like them anymore? We are all in this together. We are all going down the same path.

I mentioned today that I need motivation too. I don't like just looking at my own pics, I want to see someone else's. To put another nail in that coffin that this indeed DOES work - it's a miracle. I can see it on myself, but I want to see it on OTHER people.

We all don't know each other - whether we ever meet or not, we will never know. So what if you have seen me in my underwear, it's covering all the private stuff (I don't really wear underwear for my pics, it's a bathing suit bottom and a sport bra type thing). I cut my head off, so if we ever did see each other on the street, you wouldn't know the same pics up on the internet are me! LOL - how funny!

In other words, I WANT PICS! Come on people!!!

Ok, how bout them apples. Speaking of apples, I am quite sick of them. I have been for the last few nights treating a "tomato" as a fruit and adding tomato to my lettuce for a scrumptious salad. So yesterday, I had steak and onions for lunch, and then steak, lettuce and tomato for dinner. And an orange in the morning. Not sick of oranges yet!

Here is to another day!
