Maybe it would stop some of the 'can we open presents now - can we open presents now' litany the grand kids chant on Xmas eve :)<BR/><BR/>Job:<BR/>Right - I'm my own boss<BR/>Wrong - I'm my own bossWiseAcrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13383341492994868833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9890790.post-1791523214663001322009-03-04T08:33:00.000-08:002009-03-04T08:33:00.000-08:00Getting back to *ideeal* weight can be so challang...Getting back to *ideeal* weight can be so challanging! I like your reward :)<BR/><BR/>One fun idea: a group of galfriends in a city ~ 2 hours from me have a 'Naked Lady Party' twice a year. <BR/><BR/>You bring anything you no longer want (clothes, shoes, even some undies & jewels :) & the 'hostess' had hanging racks, & different areas for different sizes. <BR/>When you arrived, she pointed out the 'safe' areas to undress & leave your shoes & purse - as anything in the 'give away' area was up for grabs!! <BR/><BR/>Gals strip down to their undies, & try on whatever they want. <BR/>Several gals were in process of loosing weight, so it was a nice way to 'shop' for intermediate sizes, some very lovely 'designer' stuff that other gals, also loosing weight, were passing on!!<BR/><BR/>I went with a friend's daughter, & it was so much fun - I'd been to a couple of these locally, & they are always fun! <BR/><BR/>There were also 'treats' (potluck style) & at the end, we bagged up anything that hadn't been 'chosen' & each car took at least a box to one of the charity thrift shops - so NOTHING is left for the hostess to dispose of!! She stored the hanging racks in her garage, & we helped take those down, too.Nadyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00730124015853971661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9890790.post-14363238603660515282009-03-03T17:09:00.000-08:002009-03-03T17:09:00.000-08:00Like that christmas box idea!

And I eat more too.<BR/>But in summer it's the opposite. I guess I'll live somewhere where it's summer all year round. I wish!Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14788733654505792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9890790.post-51915031230432311342009-03-03T14:33:00.000-08:002009-03-03T14:33:00.000-08:00I like your ideas!

I think I might use an idea similar to the Christmas box this year...instead of buying all my gifts for people at Christmas time and spending too much money-I'll buy little things throughout the year and make up gift baskets or something. :)Nikki Neurotichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10699784181113365713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9890790.post-57984136304569352642009-03-03T11:24:00.000-08:002009-03-03T11:24:00.000-08:00I LOVE the idea of the Christmas box!

I know how hard that is!<BR/><BR/>I was reflecting back not too long ago on how it used to be for me. Before I married my hubby. He has brought many changes for the good to me, but one was the ability (financially) to have nicer clothes.<BR/><BR/>When I was married to my ex I had one "decent" outfit. When I had to go somewhere I would put it on. I would change out of it when I got back home. <BR/><BR/>You can find some nice things at good prices at thrift stores. It's hard for me to find stuff in my size, though.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for playing!Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13408633498198921799noreply@blogger.com
