OOO, I've lost a couple more pounds, too. So I tried on some of my clothes that haven't fit me in two years, and they fit. MAHVELOUS. It was like my own little dressing room in there this morning. SPIRIT BOOST.

Good thing I shaved, too, cause if I rubbed up against hubbies legs with what I had, we would sound like crickets!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

MIMI, can you post a link to your story? I'm a BS dealing with unrepentant NC attempting WW and could use an encouraging story.
Your Goddess thing sounds like a great idea. I'm wondering how I might start something similar for the BH's out there...
Maybe beer and football every week? lol

Today I got out of bed. Showered AND washed my hair. Put on makeup & styled hair. Left the apt & went grocery shopping. Had 3 guys flirt with me at grocery store. They wouldn't have 50lbs ago. It made me feel good. Today I feel like a Goddess. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I want to join! Still in Plan A though... Glad you're allowing us to join. I need to do something uplifting!
I've always had long hair... so I'm tempted... we'll see, I'm a bit of a chicken sh**
ugh, I'm on the other side of some... I need to put on a few pounds. WH is always saying eat something, what'd you eat today? Coffee doesn't count for breakfast etc... I don't usually have an appetite and if I try to force myself to eat it feels like I'll gag.

Serenity:
I became ANOREXIC after D-Day. I now have to admit that, looking back at those photos. Size 4 was beginning to be too big. You might wanna talk to your doctor about antidepressants. You want to be there for your children and not get ill.
Taking care of your PHYSICAL HEALTH is one of the MAJOR GODDESS requirements.
I SAY..DO get a NEW HAIRSTYLE!!
I made it happen..a joyful life..filled with peace, contentment, happiness and fabulocity.

New outfit - people are amazed at the difference, I feel like Jenny Craig commercial showing off my new figure. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Will call friend for new do. But mine is short don't know what I can do. Now coloring - I am so there GODDESSES. New Makeup - I sell make up, not a problem there and we have lots of new colors.

Well, I am here. Your first shout out was for Plan B'ers I think. I'm plan Aing and when it comes to B, it'll have to be modified (I think).
As for the weight. I've been a bit under weight since after the birth of my kids. I did mention it to doc because DH was pressing the issue, doc sent me to a dietician... she thought I should see a counselor (was already there). They're all nuts! And don't understand, I can't force myself to eat if I'm not hungry. I don't like the sunkin' cheek look though, so I'm trying really hard to put on some weight.
This Goddess stuff will be good for my self esteem!!

Oh my, of course everyone is welcome to join. Remember, February is the month, so start saving your money. Something special every week!!! We will all feel great by the 29th (yes, I believe it is a leap year ladies).
So go out and start scouting for that new outfit for Week One. And Josie, it's perfectly OK to buy a new suit for work. Could use one of those myself. Just be sure that you look dyn-o-mite in it!
BS - me 56
XWH - 57
12/25/06 - Dday - WH promised NC. Plan A in effect. Thought we were in recovery.
6-3-07 - Dday#2 Found out NC never took place and A never ended. Found MB NC promised again, but WH would not write NC letter.
9/07 - Dday #3. Still lying and sneaking around. Plan B implemented
WH wants nothing to do with me
Divorced as of 12/09 after 36 years

Resonance: Let's talk... Weeellll...don't feel much like a Goddess these days, ladies! In order to get in touch with your GODDESS, you've got to ACT..then the FEELING will come.... No make-up, barely done hair This will NOT do! Do you have make-up handy. We can start with a little lip gloss and mascara...and you've gotta do your hair!! This will HELP your DEPRESSION. This will LIFT your MOOD. I've gained most of my weight back that I lost back when I was acting too cool for my M... Is this about being "UNCOOL"? We're not working on being COOL, we are CHERISHING our WOMANHOOD, feeling GREAT about WHO we ARE... ...but I'll watch ya'll and maybe one of these days I'll hop on board. Nope..if WE'RE on BOARD, I am asking for you to be ON BOARD, too. ACT NOW..ACT as if..even if you don't FEEL it...AS IF...
I made it happen..a joyful life..filled with peace, contentment, happiness and fabulocity.

Count me in, but I don't wear makeup. I will do the exercise, get a pedicure, cook, and dress nicely though.
And I DID fix up my home fit for a Goddess, and go to great lengths to prepare nice food, and serve it to myself on my best china. I enjoy a glass of wine in my good crystal occasionally, with candlelight.
I did my bedroom in eggplant, with tassles on the lamps, mirrors, and a mosquito net. Tossed my all cotton jammies for some Victoria's Secret nighties.
Have fresh flowers around the house, even in the bathroom where I soak in my bubblebath, accompanied by my favorite music and candles.

C'mon, Resonance, I'll jump on in if you will. We can't be as effective as MB cheerleaders if we're not Goddesses....we'll learn and take the adventurous risks together, OK?
