Subject: Feel like myself today... So who was I last week???

I'm feeling like myself again. Okay, so maybe my usual self is a little too perky, but it's good to be back!

How's everyone doing? Kel, no peeking at that scale! Sherry, great job with the weights! Shara, I love the e-cards. I sent one to my SO. Piera, Cynthia, and Julie Anne, it was great to see your posts. Welcome aboard. Keep posting! I need something to do when I'm board, and reading/answering posts helps tremendously.

Here's an off-topic question for all of you parents out there... How do you deal with a biting toddler? Austin only bites me, and he does it EVERY time that I tell him not to do something. If I take his hand to take him back into the house, he bites my hand. If I start to pick up his toys, he bites my hand. If I pick him up to carry him to bed or into the house, he bites my shoulder. My SO has started calling me "chew toy". I appreciate the humor, but I'm really tired of being bitten. Any suggestions? I'm hoping someone here will have an idea. All of my friends have teenage and adult children (that's what happens when you have your first kid at the age of 37 1/2!)

We planned a CALP meal for last night (I don't count that as a cheat, since I've been intentionally upping my carbs), and it was pretty good. We both worked very hard all weekend on house and yardwork, and I think the extra motion is paying off. My thighs are starting to look thinner.

I found my benchmark jeans in the spare bedroom last night, and couldn't resist trying them on. I haven't worn them in two years, and could only fit into them for 1 day then. I can actually fasten them. Of course, I DID have to lie down on the bed to do it, and walking is a little difficult, sitting is impossible, BUT I got them on. Finally I feel like I really am making progress. I CAN DO THIS!!!

Katie, about the biting........ -- Shara, 11:57:34 06/17/02 Mon
My wife Peg cured our toddler daughter from biting by having a glass of ice water handy and the next time she bit, she got a face full. No more biting. (NT) -- Daddy Bill, 15:42:56 06/17/02 Mon
I was a teenager in the '70's so I know all about squeezing my butt into jeans that are too small. I say if you can get them zipped it counts as weight loss, even if you have to zip them with a pair of pliers.... (NT) -- Chris, 16:44:24 06/17/02 Mon
