You've been too long in Plan B.

And I'm not good at fantasies. Or at least not saying them out loud.

Just asking for FEMALE input (I'm sure the guys could come up with lots) for a married woman whose hubby was requesting some fantasy talk not too long ago.

For me, I might talk about having a picnic on the beach, holding hands in the surf, and then getting carried away by his manliness and doing it right there in the waves - with my special shoes still on.

But that won't work because where she is, its snowing!

Personal fantasies? Fantasies for a couple? Fantasies realized? Clarify.

Yeah, Not2. Tomorrow we can work on the recipes.

I can really picture her texting stuff to hubby and just stealing the show from OW. I mean, he is saying all this it's over stuff, but still texting her and wanting to be friends with benefits. He is like a sitting duck!

This should be easy for goddesses.

In other words, hubby LIKES the way he looks through the OW's eyes. Now we just need to have him look at himself the same way through his wife's eyes. And meanwhile OW can be LB'ing away.

Hmmm, I see.... Right now, mine would be a recreation of an experience. A 300 year old house full of antiques and we had a canopy bed in a room with a fireplace. May or June and it was chilly outside so they built us a fire in the fireplace and we spent the whole afternoon enjoying....the room <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

ok.....I had an experience once when DH and I went out of town for the weekend. We had a condo with a hot tub right outside the room on the balcony. We went in Feb, and that means cold around here, but when we were outside it was anything but "cold"........

Did anyone watch Oprah yesterday? The schlumpadinka episode?

Some nice outfits for busy moms on the show.

I wish I could buy a whole new wardrobe right now, but it will have to wait. I of course am trying to straigten out my finances and am in the middle of weight watchers anyway. No need to waste money right now.

For now, I am trying to dress better with what I have. For example, typically I work from my home office on tuesday and thursday. Today, instead of putting on sweats, I actually put on khaki's and a sweater. That's huge for me <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />. I'm glad these pants fit again too :P. Yay weight watchers.

Hi Zora,

I want to change my wardrobe EVERY WEEK after watching "What Not to Wear". I do the best with what I have now, and add to my wardrobe a bit here and there. I try to add STAPLES now, instead of fads, like pants that fit well with a clean line, and shirts that don't come and go.

I did weight watchers from last September until January, and lost about 20 lbs. I did the CORE plan, which worked really well for me, because I didn't have to look at points, and it taught me to incorporate good foods so that I could enjoy them. I still cook according to the core plan, using lean meats and olive oil, and no cream sauces.
Also, portion control was great to get under wraps. Now, I can splurge, and still maintain my weight.

I would wait out the weight loss, and then start finding flattering clothes.

oh my goodness, thank you B and others, I had no idea you were over here trying to help me out with ideas ;-) I really, think my "dream" that I told him the other night hit a good spot. Now if I could come up with one-liners that I could text to him, that would be great!

Yesterday I went to see Fool's Gold. There was a scene where Kate Hudson's character Tess was looking in the mirror and crying. Then she stopped and started commenting on how perfect her hair was, how perfect her nails were and how beautiful and smart of a woman she was.

So all you goddesses, when you start to get down on yourselves, I want you to do just that. Just think about how wonderful YOU are. And how LUCKY someone would be to have YOU.

Ehhh, you know, hanging in. Weekends kinda suck, because it's lonely. I'm looking forward to the week when I get to see more people.

I'm actually looking forward to this:

http://www.lordandtaylor.com/gifts/Onlin...amp;IID=2015923

I've been dying to get these boots, but would not pay $397, which was the original full price. But now they are on sale, and I have a 20% coupon. Woohooo, I'm excited.

Shoes are at least the one thing that I always fit into with out all the ups and downs of weight gain and loss.

This is me treating myself even then I have no money. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

I completely agree and understand.

The boots sound awesome and such a deal. FINANCIAL GODDESS, you go girl.

What has been your weight gain up and down deal? How is your eating now?

Nice boots! I can picture you in them now.

I got rid of all my larger size clothing. Then I knew if I didn't stick to my diet, I would have nothing to wear.

That's a great idea. I am doing the same thing. I love not having those gross clothes anymore. And as I try them on and they don't fit, they are gone.

I watch Mimi's favorite "What Not to Wear" alot. And every once in awhile, I try on everything in my closet and put it to the mirror test. If it doesn't look GOOD on me, I give it away. It is lots of fun.

NO NEGATIVE THINKING ALLOWED TODAY or even tomorrow as far as I'm concerned..

When I say POSITIVE THINKING, I'm not talking POLYANNA-ISH..

I'm saying think of some POSITIVE ACTION STEP to take rather than ANY NEGATIVE COMPLAINING about YOURSELF or YOUR SITUATION...

DO SOMETHING...


I made it happen..a joyful life..filled with peace, contentment, happiness and fabulocity.
