An example of lies to gain the Presidency

Now to be fair I would love to find something like this with others we have had that either ran or became President.

Tammi said...: Lisa..you should do breasts..so to speak..LOL, they have less fat.

I am the diet guru,any questions let me know.

Just make sure you have tons of stuff to eat. The chicken, salad stuff, nonfat yogurts, boiled eggs, low cal jello, pudding,carrots with nonfat sour cream, frozen almonds,protein burgers, lowfat cheeses, etc...then when you get a craving you at least have something to munch on. And the dreaded word...which I hate more then anything...exercise.; August 24, 2010 at 6:58 PM
Lisa said...: Tammi, I've got it all covered and thanks. :-) I know breasts would be better but this was all I have until I find another good sale on breasts, so it'll have to do. I've been having a cereal bar and banana for breakfast, then building a huge salad at lunch (all lo-cal, low fat, low sodium, a little protein) to eat then and snack on the remainder through the afternoon, if the mood strikes. And Publix has low-cal yogurt in carrot cake now...yum. I also got fat-free cottage cheese and am going to make homemade salsa so I can control the sodium. Oh, and I found some baked crackers that are acceptable, if I really need a little "real" snack. I'm not thrilled about this but at the same time, I sort of am. I needed a kick in the ass and got it.; August 24, 2010 at 7:07 PM
Lisa said...: "http://www.adoptivemomma.blogspot.com"

Ah, thank you. I found her family blog in her profile and have been reading back from today. What a sweet family and my heart hurts for them right now. :-(; August 24, 2010 at 7:20 PM
Shannon said...: Lisa I am proud of you.....we are now together in being forced to reality with blood pressures and blood panels....it sucks.

You know I have been trying to be good about what I am eating but in this household it is nearly impossible to afford such things so I am trying more of an Adkins approach. We ALWAYS have pasta, potatos, or rice with dinner so I am trying to get a small portion or substitute it with whole grain bread instead and a larger portion of meat. I have cut the fried foods out by like 99%. I am rarely drinking soda and if I do it is diet.

And can I just add that since my weight gain in March of 10 lbs I have not only lost that 10 but 5 more. I am no longer 210 when I step on the scale I am now 195....I can actually see my goal of 170 in my future.

So Lisa I will share with you what my doctor shared with me....it is not about denying yourself things it is just making things like junk food a treat that you can have say once a week.; August 24, 2010 at 7:48 PM
Lisa said...: Shanon, I am NOT telling what I weigh but I'm fat. I'm not grossly obese, needing carried out on a stretcher or anything, but I need to fix it for my health's sake *now. I know how I got here, it's totally my fault and I'm not about to blame medical conditions or genetics or whatever for it. Years ago I let this happen and then finally got tough on myself and stepped up - I lost 70 pounds in under 6 months and did it in a healthy manner. I also kept it off easily for many years, until I lapsed into some awful habits again in the last 3 years. I have no idea what I need or want to weigh in the end...I know that I look best at about a size 12 though, and that's typically been about 160-170 for me, too. Less than that and my face gets very gaunt looking, which I do not want. I do not want to be thin, I want to keep some meat on and be average. That sounds like good advice your doctor gave and I'll take that too, thank you!; August 24, 2010 at 9:41 PM
Shannon said...: I certainly cant blame genetics or health for what my weight has become but I sure can blame the weight for my pending health issues.

Nobody ever believes I weigh what I weigh because I carry it all in my torso which I find is quite easy to hide most of the time. I have been wearing the same size 10 pants for like 5 years now....I dont gain weight in my lower body...hence still having no hips or ass!!!

They say that my optimum weight is like 135...LIKE HELL!!! I dont actually have a set goal but I know that if I were able to get to the 170 I would be much healthier then I am right now.

My grandpa and aunt both being diagnosed with diabetes really scared me. I dont want to have to test my blood sugar or do insulin for the rest of my life I am not ready for such things yet.; August 24, 2010 at 9:53 PM
Lisa said...: I hear you, Shannon...I have diabetes on both sides of my family and it scares me. People tend to believe I don't weigh what I do either because I'm tallish (5'9") and just big all over. I couldn't be a delicate little thing if I tried. When I got married my wedding dress was a size 8 and I weighed around 140 pounds. You sound like you definitely carry your weigh oddly, too.; August 24, 2010 at 10:55 PM
Jeanette said...: Just dropping in to say hi Daisies!

Shannon, way to go on the 15 pounds, that's awesome! I hope the rest of what you want to lose falls off easily for you, and I'm so proud of you for cutting back on the fried foods! I got a Fry Daddy a few days ago and it made me think of you, the queen of the deep fryer! LOL!

Lisa, I'm proud of you too! You are damn creative when it comes to food so I would think you will be able come up with things that you like but are also healthy for you. Good luck with the weight loss, and I hope your blood pressure evens out.

FTR, I have no ass, no hips, and what little boobage I had got deflated after breastfeeding Ella. I fully intend to buy myself implants when I either graduate and land a good job, or snag me a millionaire, whichever comes first ;p; August 24, 2010 at 11:05 PM
Muliebrity said...: I have all this damn baby weight, plus I am a pear shape. I have always has a flat tummy, but these pregnancies and c-sections have made me into a prapple. Pear/Apple shape. I hope my stomach structure will change over time and go somewhat back to normal. I am only 15ish lbs from where I used to want to be, but things have been rearranged. I tried on a shortish dress I got at a garage sale the other day for my hubby and I asked him if I looked fat in it. He said no, but it's like you have no knee caps. :/; August 24, 2010 at 11:08 PM
Lisa said...: "FTR, I have no ass, no hips, and what little boobage I had got deflated after breastfeeding Ella. I fully intend to buy myself implants when I either graduate and land a good job, or snag me a millionaire, whichever comes first ;p"

Or, alternately, you could be happy with what you have. Sorry, I'm not trying to be rude but it sure seems like with 2 daughters you'd want to teach them to be happy with the bodies they are given naturally.; August 24, 2010 at 11:09 PM
Shannon said...: LOL I would like to have what I've got put back where it belongs :)

Lisa I do agree that while it is quite alright to complain in a silly fashion about our bodies in the end it is what we have. My daughter is overweight and I have told her that she needs to start watching what she is eating and when she is eating before it becomes a health issue but I also not stuck on the fact that she is 'fat' she has excellent self esteem.; August 24, 2010 at 11:14 PM
Jeanette said...: "Or, alternately, you could be happy with what you have. Sorry, I'm not trying to be rude but it sure seems like with 2 daughters you'd want to teach them to be happy with the bodies they are given naturally"

I didn't think you were rude at all, but the implant thing is just a running joke. I would never really get them, because I am a chickenshit and have heard too many stories about them like rupturing and whatnot. I agonized over my little tattoo, no way could I stand letting someone slice my boob open and jerk it around and then sew it back up. I'd have a panic attack before they could get me put to sleep.

You did bring up a good point though. Some of you may know, my parents divorced when I was very young and I was with my dad for several years. He wasn't the best at building a person's, especially a little girl's, self esteem. My confidence level sucked for years, and still does to an extent. That is always in the back of my mind and I constantly tell my daughters how beautiful they are.

Shannon it sounds like you have done a great job of boosting your daughter's self image. My cousin is a little chunky and even when she was like 12 years old I would hear her mother tell her she was fat and she better quit eating so much. Not cool.; August 24, 2010 at 11:28 PM
Shannon said...: Oh that isnt cool at all Jeanette!!! I knew that the chances of Mikala being a skinny girl was not in the cards from the get go.....the genetics just arent there. Hell if you looked at my family you would think I didnt belong....on both sides I am one of the taller ones and also one of the slimmer ones.

She however has always been told and treated like she is perfect just the way she is and she is a beautiful girl and I wouldnt want her any other way. I just worry for her because of health issues but she is working on it and doing good and that is all I can hope for :); August 24, 2010 at 11:41 PM
Jeanette said...: Shannon, if you saw this girl's mom, you would really think it's not cool. K isn't even really overweight, she just inherited her mom's big frame. The mom thinks she is just the hottest thing that has ever walked, so I always thought it was crazy that she said anything like that to K.; August 24, 2010 at 11:51 PM
KaytieJ said...: Good for you Shannon for the weight loss! And Lisa, I know when you make up your mind to do something, you are all over it - good luck to you, too.

I am adding a PSA - Make sure to beef up on your vitamins and minerals and water intake while dieting, too. Proud of you both!; August 24, 2010 at 11:53 PM
Shannon said...: Honestly I dont get how some parents are with their kids. WE as their parents are supposed to be the people that always think our kids are wonderful and beautiful.

She almost sounds like one of those mothers who sees her daughter more as a competitor then a child.; August 24, 2010 at 11:55 PM
Shannon said...: I have been taking B-12, calcium +D, and flax seed oil......are there others I should be taking too?; August 24, 2010 at 11:56 PM
KaytieJ said...: Off to shake my wallet...thought it was full moon last night, but looks to be tonight. If hubby sees me out there, it may be a "Ya Ya Sisterhood" moment - LOL!; August 24, 2010 at 11:57 PM
Shannon said...: LOL I have to do that too even though shaking the shit out of it at the horizon did pay off last night since Josh got paid for a week's worth of work....LOL only about 4 more weeks worth and he will be paid up to date.; August 25, 2010 at 12:00 AM
Jeanette said...: She almost sounds like one of those mothers who sees her daughter more as a competitor then a child.

Oh she most definitely is, and until you said that just now, I never connected it with her picking on K for her weight. That makes a lot of sense, and I'm glad you mentioned it. Thankfully, K lives with her dad now(my uncle), and he actually does a pretty good job of making sure she feels good about herself.; August 25, 2010 at 12:02 AM
Jeanette said...: You mean his pay is a month behind?; August 25, 2010 at 12:03 AM
Shannon said...: I am very glad to hear that she is living with her dad...i dont get how moms can be that way but I have seen it...and I am sorry but there is nothing that my daughter could get (in love dept LOL) that I would want :)

And yes right now they are about a month behind in pay. It is a tough job situation where they are doing work and he is paying them when he gets paid. Right now it is just good that he is back to work but a regular pay check would be good too.; August 25, 2010 at 12:11 AM
Jeanette said...: That sucks Shannon, I'm sorry. It has to be hard knowing that money is coming, but not knowing when. I hope they get him all caught up soon.

I'm heading to bed, it's been a long day. G'night Daisies!; August 25, 2010 at 12:14 AM
KaytieJ said...: Shannon - I am not a nutritionist, but those are good basics. You went to get your blood work done and so if you were anemic they would probably have caught that (by recommending iron).

This is a nice site and it is from OSU (not sponsoring it, just thought it might be interesting to you Shannon)

KaytieJ said...: Shannon! 1...2...3...Shake Your Booty! Hope Josh gets the rest of his pay he is owed!!!; August 25, 2010 at 12:17 AM
Shannon said...: Kaytie I was actually a little shocked when they did the blood work that they didnt find I was anemic because in the past I have always been that way. I was told that the flax seed is good to take because it helps bind up the fat that would normally get put into the old body and such and that it helps to keep the cholesterol from doing its thing.; August 25, 2010 at 12:21 AM
KaytieJ said...: Shannon - that IS amazing that you were not anemic. SO many women are. You are doing things right then!
I took a course in college about nutrition - but that was so long ago and they are finding so many new things. I would love to take a course in it again.; August 25, 2010 at 12:27 AM
Karen said...: Hi Shannon and Kaytie!!! Just checking in here quick before bed - Shannon and Lisa thats great that you are both trying to be healthier and its just not all about the looks! I'd like to take off 20 lbs - and am eating healthier now that I'm single! But doing it slowly - the slower the better and longer it stays off for me. I need to get some vitamins, I don't take any - and I'm sure I need to be!! Thanks for the reminder Kaytie!!

Night Ladies - wil check in tomorrow!; August 25, 2010 at 12:28 AM
Muliebrity said...: I am going to make some enchiladas today and I made them for the first time last week. They were pretty tasty, except the tortillas cracked when I rolled them. By time it was done cooking, it was more like enchilada casserole. Do I need to soak the tortillas first or something?; August 25, 2010 at 9:37 AM
Tammi said...: Good luck everyone on their dieting..I am right there with ya...ugh!

Mulie..did you take the tortillas from the fridge? I have noticed if they are too cold they will do that. And yes, I do soak mine first, sort of like French Toast. lol; August 25, 2010 at 9:57 AM
Muliebrity said...: I keep them on the counter, Tammi. Do you just soak them in water? Do they need to be saturated?; August 25, 2010 at 10:06 AM
Tammi said...: Soak them in the enchilada sauce. :); August 25, 2010 at 10:08 AM
Muliebrity said...: Ooooo, that's an idea, Tammy. Do you make your own sauce?; August 25, 2010 at 10:15 AM
Shannon said...: Morning ladies......I need a nap already LOL; August 25, 2010 at 11:01 AM
Tammi said...: I have made my own sauce, now I let the can opener do the job. lol

Or I go to the Mexican foods market here. They make it fresh and you can just buy it.; August 25, 2010 at 11:04 AM
Tammi said...: Morning Shannon! I feel the same way. I am tryig to get back to my 5:30 exercisng and it is killing me. By 9 I need a nap! LOL; August 25, 2010 at 11:06 AM
Shannon said...: I dont get up to exercise but I figure with the 330 fight for bed and blankets and getting up at 630 to get the hubs off to work qualifies as a work out :)

I am hoping that when we are ready to move there is something closer to his work so that I wont have to take him or pick him up anymore.; August 25, 2010 at 11:16 AM
Tammi said...: Oh yeah, that would be no fun. Only one car? That would drive me a little batty! LOL!; August 25, 2010 at 11:28 AM
Shannon said...: We only have one car but we also have only one license :) Josh has never gotten his license. For as much of a tough guy as he is he is afraid of being behind the wheel. His mom tried to teach him and he has tried to learn before we got together but he is one of those people that loses all confidence when he is driving.....personally I would rather sacrifice my time and keep the world, and my truck, safe :); August 25, 2010 at 11:48 AM
Tammi said...: Well, that makes sense. :); August 25, 2010 at 12:09 PM
Shannon said...: Before we had to move he was about 5 blocks or so from work...he has a mini motorcycle and would ride that back and forth everyday so hopefully when we move we can get close like that again.; August 25, 2010 at 12:13 PM
Tammi said...: My man works 40 mins away so that wouldn't work here.

I hope he finds something close!; August 25, 2010 at 1:22 PM
Shannon said...: Oh gawd that wouldnt work for me either...thankfully his is only like 10 minutes away right off the freeway; August 25, 2010 at 1:31 PM
Tammi said...: Shannon....do you guys have kids?; August 25, 2010 at 3:47 PM
Muliebrity said...: <----has a vision of a big scary dude on a little tiny bike. ;-); August 25, 2010 at 4:30 PM
Shannon said...: Tammi.....I have two children from my first marriage...they are 18 and 17.

LOL he isnt that big Mulie :); August 25, 2010 at 4:34 PM
Muliebrity said...: I like how you didn't correct the scary part, Shannon!; August 25, 2010 at 4:48 PM
Shannon said...: :) Well some people think he is scary looking; August 25, 2010 at 5:02 PM

Shannon said...: HAHAHA what is really funny with the man is that he is a scary looking dude and people would think that if they didnt know him....and when we get moved and he gets his mini's back i will post some pics so you can see....it is very very funny

Margaret...I dont mind the driving him because he is so afraid of driving he would kill someone for sure. The dude can hang from hooks in his back but behind the wheel he is a pusswad; August 25, 2010 at 5:56 PM
Anonymous said...: Did he have a bad car experience or something - I've never heard of a driving phobia.; August 25, 2010 at 6:16 PM
Shannon said...: Not that I know of but he is one of those that puts the death grip on the wheel. The few times he has tried to drive over the years he didnt stop so good....one time hit the garage of his friend's house and another time hit another parked car.; August 25, 2010 at 7:25 PM

Another slow day... caught up so fast!! Going to bed semi early (for me)

Night Daisys!; August 26, 2010 at 12:15 AM
Lisa said...: I'm here. Long-assed day for homebody me. I took Miss Arse for her pre-op and she just breaks my heart right now. She took a few steps in the doctor's office very huge parking lot, stopped and asked if she could hold my arm and let me guide her. She looked so, so sad. This appointment was an 80 mile round trip, I came home and dropped her off, then took off for a 100 mile round trip to take Jake to get his phone. Turns out his friend never got it for him so it was still at the hotel adjoining the gay bar...lol. I came home and went to sleep. But, he was dying for Burger King and said he was going to feel bad eating in front of me. I got a grilled chicken value meal and did drink the diet Coke (my first in 3 days!) and I did eat the fries. But I took a bite of the sandwich and it just didn't taste good enough to waste all the calories and sodium on, so I let him have it, too. Those fries were awfully good and I don't regret them but I'm proud of myself for not caving and ordering a wonderful Whopper *and for putting the sandwich aside when I realized it wasn't worth it instead of just eating it anyway. And that's my novel o' the day!

Hope everyone is doing good. :-)
I want a Hello Kitty Vespa.; August 26, 2010 at 1:40 AM
Lisa said...: Mulie, Muliette is such a pretty baby. I love it when little girls or boys are *so girly or boyish that you can tell which they are. :-); August 26, 2010 at 1:45 AM
KaytieJ said...: Mulie - Muliette is adorable! Thank you for sharing!

Lisa - That first arm out by a parent to a child, even us much grown ones, is a gut wrencher. Hair tug.

And driving all over the place in one day and still being able to resist the Burger King? Proud of ya!; August 26, 2010 at 2:49 AM
Melissa said...: Morning ladies. My inlaws are coming over and staying until Saturday. For whatever reason I found it necessary to clean my kitchen baseboards at 10:30 last night.

Lisa-You're awesome. I would have caved and gone for the Whopper. That's probably because I have 0 willpower.; August 26, 2010 at 8:38 AM
Muliebrity said...: A little known secret is that Burger King has veggie burgers, Lisa. That are not bad either. I leave the mayo and cheese off.

Thanks all! I think Muliette is pretty cute too. She is getting so big and is on the verge of giggling and can even roll (but that pesky arm keeps her from getting totally flat).; August 26, 2010 at 10:06 AM
Tammi said...: My oldest "baby" turns 17 today. I really can't believe it! I did my customary waking at 2:37 am when he was born. LOL They love that...

So weird to think next year at this time he will be in college. Just wow. :) I am feeling a little emotional today, and that just isn't me.; August 26, 2010 at 10:15 AM

Melissa said...: Grrr. Just got a message from my hubs that his dad wants to know if he can come stay with us, again, for a while. I'm frustrated because he just left our house a couple of weeks ago. For one reason or another, none of his other sons wants to/are able to help him out. So he gives my hubs the sob story and we end up letting him stay with us. The first time it was 5 months. This last time was for 4 months. At what point do we shut the door and keep it closed?; August 26, 2010 at 11:13 AM
Tammi said...: Melissa...well, what is the issue? Why is he staying? If I am being too nosey...just tell me to shut it. :); August 26, 2010 at 11:20 AM
Anonymous said...: Mulie - your little one is a cutie pie. Love that little top she has on.

Melissa :(; August 26, 2010 at 11:34 AM
Melissa said...: Tammi-you're not being too nosy. Here's some back story:

He's got some issues-mentally. He suffers from paranoia and is on meds. That's not an issue in and of itself. He's also an alcoholic. When he's at our house he doesn't drink because we (I) don't allow it. He was applying for some sort of program-I really don't know because I try to stay out of that part of it. He can't keep a job because of his "issues"-he'll work fine for a couple of months but then something in his brain triggers and he quits/gets fired. And the cycle goes on and on.

Anyway, he came back down here from GA so that my hubs could help him with paperwork, appointments etc. He didn't have a vehicle so we were his sole means of transportation to and from whereever he had to go. Let me cut to the chase: he was approved for whatever it was that he applied for and was given a lump sum of money. We advised him to get himself a reliable but cheap vehicle and locate a place to live permanently (he wanted to go back to GA because that's where his mom, sisters, brothers are). We told him that he was welcome to stay with us during that time. In the meantime he finds a rather expensive truck in GA that a friend has and his heart is set on getting that truck. Hubs tries finding similar trucks here that are cheaper etc. My fil wants to hear none of it. We told him that if he left and went and got this truck that he wouldn't be able to come back and stay with us for free. (he'd been staying with us for free this time-along with the time before that. Now I don't know why I felt the need to justify that but anyway)

Well, he went to GA two weeks ago and got that truck. Now his welcome has been worn out with the family up in GA and he has no where to go. Thus him asking if he can come back and stay with us.
My issue is this: I feel like a Motel 6. I'm upset because I know (because of his past behavior) that when he left our house that was his green light to drink his money away. Now he did send his mom money and helped some of his other family members out as well. I'm torn between feeling like a huge witch for not wanting him to come back/wanting to help him because no one else will and that's the right thing to do.; August 26, 2010 at 11:37 AM
Tammi said...: Melissa...that is hard. Does he take his meds regularly? He sort of sounds like he doesn't? And yeah, if he isn't going to listen to your advice, and go ahead and do what he wants, then I would set some serious boundaries. And give him a timeline. You have X amount of time to get your shit together or you are out. How does your dh feel?; August 26, 2010 at 11:46 AM
Lisa said...: Hi to everyone. :-)

Tammi, happy birthday to your baby. These last ones in the teen years are so hard on us moms.

Mulie, I did not know this about BK having veggie burgers - thank you!

Melissa, what a mess you're facing...what does your husband say about him coming back? I guess, in the end, if it'll upset your husband if you put your foot down, that's your answer. :-/ You shouldn't have to share your home for lengths of time like that with a family member who is able to do better for himself, though. It's unfair. Could you maybe put a time limit on it? Maybe a month? Lord, I'd be mad.; August 26, 2010 at 11:47 AM
Lisa said...: Lol, I hate it when Tammi and I think alike.; August 26, 2010 at 11:48 AM
Anonymous said...: Melissa, I'm sorry you are going through that. It must be very stressful :(; August 26, 2010 at 11:53 AM
Melissa said...: For a while he wasn't able to take his meds regularly. But when he was here last we took him to the doctor and he was able to get a one year script/get three months at a time etc.As of right now he is taking his meds regularly.

Hubs is okay with him coming back-it is his dad which I can understand. In addition to that hubs mentality is that we should do it because that's what Jesus would want us to do. Which I agree with, but I still want to say no. I probably won't though which irritates me.

It's not even that it's going to hurt us financially because it won't. I guess it's just prinicpal. Plus, I like having our house to ourselves.

And now I don't even want to go home today because the other in laws are going to be there and I don't feel like dealing with them either.; August 26, 2010 at 12:04 PM

Melissa said...: You know Margaret, I wish that I had the balls to do that. (the taketh away thing)

Apparently, hubs had already given the okay to fil before talking to me because he knew I would cave and say yes. Which really irritates me. But I'll get over it. Upside: if my parents ever need a place to stay you can bet I'll be the first to offer up our house, just to stick it to hubs.

I did tell him that my max time limit would be three months. After that, he's on his own. Literally and figuratively.; August 26, 2010 at 1:02 PM
Muliebrity said...: So if I am going to slice them, bread them and freeze them, do I use only flower to bread? No eggs or milk? I would think the "slime" would be enough for the flower to adhere. What do you think?; August 26, 2010 at 1:06 PM
Shannon said...: Melissa I am sorry about the tough situation you have going on.....living with other people can be pretty tough.

Mulie I would think it would be enough but I have never ever even so much as eaten okra :); August 26, 2010 at 1:14 PM
Muliebrity said...: And would you flash freeze them on a cookie sheet or can I just throw them in a ziplock?; August 26, 2010 at 1:26 PM
Melissa said...: Mulie-I think you should coat them in flour/egg/milk first and then put them on a cookie sheet until frozen. After they freeze transfer them to a Ziploc. That's what I would do, anyway.; August 26, 2010 at 1:32 PM
