Nice word choice, since Tim often does a "fat old lady" impersonation of my future self "sitting on the couch in my robe and curlers eating bon-bons." lol

I did that when I was single. I'd eat dry wheat chex and chocolate covered cherries for dinner if I felt like it. Back then I could eat what I wanted and weighed 100 pounds anyway. Ah, the good old days! When a tube of thin mints was dinner during girl scout season....

I think I weighed 100 around age 12..... I look ghastly at 130, bones jabbing out and crap (I'm built like a female football player, huge bones that dont allow for thinness) so I have to try to stay at 140.... which isnt working out so well right now. I weigh, at this moment, 3 lb less than I did when I DELIVERED my FULL TERM children.....

Never tried the detox.
I see no purpose in caffiene-less teas unless I'm ill. Then I will drink Gypsy Cold Care or Cold Care PM.

I love the chai tea, when I'm in the mood for it. Today is an Awake tea day though. Twice the caffiene so I can survive work + the band booster parent meeting tonight.

That brain needs to set it's priorities!

It knows it's faults, which is why it carefully wrapped the pie and stashed it in the work survival bag.

I was a tall skinny kid until mid 20's. I didn't break 100 until sophomore year of college. I was one of those aggravating people that could eat a whole pizza and not gain an ounce. My best weight is 120, but I'm not near there at the moment. I need to be, because I think my feet would love me more. I currently weigh as much as I did when preggers with my 10#9oz baby girl 14 years ago.

My daughter is 6 feet tall and very big boned. She should never be 'skinny'; it wouldn't look good on her. She's still chubby, but has lost some weight lately and looking good and feeling good. And boys are flirting with her, which both amuses her and makes her blush.

Only one tube? I used to be able to eat a box and feel fine. At my first apartment, my dinners were Tricuits nuked with a cube of Velveeta on them, alternated with a whole box of cheap mac & cheese. I musta weighed about 125 in those days.

Now I'm 129 but eat like an anorexic vegan. (neither of which I am, it's just easier to not think about yummy food too much)

DD's pics were taken before school started. She had hoped to be able to wear a very cool hat, but since hats aren't allowed at school she couldn't have one on in the pic. We were disappointed. So we'll be taking her to get a pic taken elsewhere later on.

We're boycotting haircutes and dye until after Halloween. We're going to dye her hair a rather vibrant shade for her Mad Hatter costume, and then dye it brown/black afterwards. Then we'll get all the insulted dead ends trimmed away after that.

There were certainly 2 tube evenings, but I tried not to do it too often. Even then I was aware that diabetes was looming over me like a Sword of Damocles. I likened it to saving the cookies for much, much later.

I still tell my daughter that I will always exercise for chocolate.
I watched Grandma having prunes and cream cheese for 'dessert' as a kid. It left a lasting impression

I think about yummy food all the time. I could not eat like an anorexic vegan. Heck, I couldn't eat like a vegan at all!! It would require me to partake of more veggies

I do spend extra on pasture-raised pork & beef. I like knowing dinner had a chance to frolic in the sun while it was young, and roll in the grass.

That's so cute. I know what you mean about not looking good if you are underweight.

I heard of a test to figure of you're big boned or small boned - take your right hand's thumb & index finger and try to wrap them around the bony part of your left wrist. If they overlap, your tiny-boned. If they won't touch, you're big boned.

OK on the bony part of my wrist they are an inch apart. on the skinny part of my wrist they are 1/4 inch apart. I must be big boned after all

They have yet to make an anklet that fits me...I make them myself.
