A Skinny Journey...

[Skinny_Chick]

I am just sick to my stomach this morning Future Hubby and I hired this wedding planner. We hired her about 3 weeks ago. Gave her $500 to hire her ( reasonable ) and $5000 to reserve our hall, food, cake, church and all the rest of that stuff. Last week she went to Hawaii on vacation, and when she left NOTHING had been done yet. She caused a huge fight between my fiance and I by telling everyone a slightly different story. We NEVER fight. Except where she sticks her nose into our business. After the fight we decided that a huge wedding definately wasn't worth what she was going to put us through for the next 16 months so, we decided to fire her.
We were originally told that if we decided not to use her she would keep $250 and return the rest. ( $5250 ) When we called her yesterday she told us that she would only return $2500 SHE WANTED TO KEEP $3000 WTF. When my mom called her she told my mom that since it was her money she would give her back $4750. She said that she thought it was our money when she told future hubby that she was going to keep $3000. WTF SHE WOULD HAVE RIPPED US OFF IN A HEARTBEAT!!!! So, not only are we just going to Vegas and paying our own wedding we have to pay my mom back the $500 difference between what she was supposed to get back and what the greedy bitch is actually getting back.


I'm not even remotely hungry, just TERRIBLY upset that this crazy woman is taking my family for a ride when she never did a thing for us!

I really don't have any advice to offer you on this, hon - except commiseration that it is absolutely wrong and absolutely not fair (perhaps you could file a complaint against her with the Better Business Bureau? or write a letter to the editor of your local paper?)

BUT... I can offer you --> :::::::::HUGS::::::::::

[LadyBird]

Ugh, I am sooo sorry that this terrible woman ever even entered your life! Does she work for a company? If so, complain to someone higher. Did you sign any sort of contract with her, or is there some sort of sheet or pamphlet she gave you explaining the terms of her employment? You should call her out on it, tell her you're going to report her, or I agree with Dustmouse, write to your paper, that'll get some attention! I hope I helped a bit, I am just so sorry this happened to you.

[Skinny_Chick]

Thank you everyone She owns her own business. I've been wondering how many other people she's ripped off. Feeling slightly better today, but I won't really be ok until she gives my mother back her money. Struggling lately. Afraid of the scale ( usually I'm just obsessed ), went to the store and only bought things that I can have. Veggies, Fruit, water, tea, a bit of chicken. No chips or anything. Good luck today, love to you all!

[LadyBird]

That's awesome that you bought only stuff you can have, that way, there's nothing to overeat on, you can't really have too too many veggies, hehe. I wish I could do that, I'm home for the summer from college and living at home so my mom buys all the food. Which is okay because everytime I go into a grocery store I'm so tempted.

[Skinny_Chick]

Failure .... that's the word of the day. Finally got back on the scale, 149. The power went out last night, just came back on a few minutes ago. What do you do when it's 80 degrees in the house and you can't sleep?? YOU EAT ! Only made worse by the fact that future hubby had chips. And peanut butter sandwiches. Sea Salt and Vinegar. Love em. I'll bust my ass until Sunday, maybe it'll hit the 147 I need to hit for the week. So sad, that's only a pound down from where I started at. I AM CAPABLE OF SO MUCH MORE! Have to get ready for work. Love to you all, have a SKINNY DAY!

[Skinny_Chick]

Someone please just pull my hair out for me My weight is all over the board lately, I think I might need a new scale. I can get on it, get off, and five minutes later I'll get back on and it will give me a different number, sometimes it's 147 or 148 and sometimes it's 150 or even 151. I'm so buying a new scale this weekend. This morning's trip to the scale said 150.5 WTF. Anyways, I'm off to get ready for work... Everyone have a skinny day!

[LadyBird]

Getting new scales will definitely help...if your scales are saying such different numbers all the time, it's definitely time for some new scales. Hope that works out for you, and have a great day!

[Skinny_Chick]

I AM NOT DEAD! LOL However, I'm just numb lately. When I do eat, it doesn't taste very good, dear hubby is still attempting to feed me at every time. We go to the store, he wants steak, chicken, potatoes.... when all I want is water, tea and cup of soup. Killing me. The scales are at the highest ever.... 156, WHAT HAPPENED TO ME!? GOD, last Christmas I was 134 heading down... then just disaster. I'm so mad with myself lately! I'm just weak lately, I did SO well for so long!

However there is a bright side to all of this..... It's hard for me to see but I was informed on Friday that it's there. Future hubby has been offered a new job, and he's taking it. It's a trucking job, he's gone for 10 days to 2 weeks then home for 2 or 3 days. When I first hooked up with him he was doing the same thing, that's when I was doing so very well... he wasn't around to hang on me at every turn. So, starting on Monday August 13, I will be free to be here whenever I want, I won't have to do it when he goes to work or is in the shower... I will be free to post whatever whenever, and to fast whenever I want! God at this point that's just a GLORIOUS THOUGHT My scales haven't been this high since I was 9 months pregnant... OMG!

Anyways, I'm still here, just struggling like CRAZY!!! BUT the light is near. So, please give some kind words to keep me together until future hubby goes... I dearly need them! Love to you all!

[Skinny_Chick]

It's been a pretty good day today, considering what the days have been like lately. breakfast was 1/2a non fat sugar free latte 78 cal... lunch was 1/2 an ice cappuchino 130 cal ... can we say coffee binge today? The real issue comes when I go home and see whats for dinner... with any luck, future hubby hasn't trtied to "be polite" and plate my food... I wonder why I get sick after those meals!! They're HUGE.. So hopefully all goes well tonight. Should be by in the morning.

heyloo - i just read ur journal

that is great news that ur fiancee got offered a new job that means he would be out of town for quite a few days. i totaly agree that is when u will do ur best! with no one around to watch what u eat

until than u must try ur best with him around - u can do it!

[ThinMint06]

hi skinny,
hope you're having a low cal day.
mmmm, coffee. i seriously am addicted. it's pathetic. i can't even function without my caffine.

[Skinny_Chick]

I so need my coffee this morning.... lied this morning ate 1 egg and half a piece of toast, told future hubby that I was not feeling well. It's terrible, at 5:30 am he's at the kitchen table talking about dinner. WTF? I swear food seems to consume his thoughts and he attempts to make it invade mine to. Yesterday, the scale said 156.5, today it said 156.0. I'm going with the I don't feel well excuse today, except for coffee, water, and maybe some tea. I can't go on like this anymore. I love him to death, but I can't stand the way his food issues seem to attach to me. A few of you were here when I was here before, I didn't have these issues before I hooked up with him, they seem to have come with him a package deal lol future hubby and his food issues to. I've probably asked a few hundred times, " Please don't even try to plate my food for me " I can't stand that, he'll fill this HUGE plate, then bitches when I pick at it. I can't consume anything even close to that quantity. He plates more than I used to eat in a day! He wonders why I never feel well after eating anything, it's because it WAY more food than I'm used to. But, he still doesn't get the hint that if he stopped plating my damn food and just let me have an itty bitty plate that maybe I'd feel sort of ok after I eat. Most of the time I just feel terrible, and he's totally inflating the situation and my damn stomach.
As much as I love him, I can't handle having him on me 24/7. I'm totally stressed out, sick to my stomach and unable to sleep. It's like I love you but please leave me alone sometimes. I'm not happy having exerything revolev around food and having every waking moment planned with visiting his family and other functions. I have zero time for me, and it sucks. I love him, but I want him to not be here freaking 24 hours a day. I'm not used to having to explain myself for going to the drugs or explaining why I've been gone for 30 mintues instead of 20. The stress is getting to me, gee can you tell? Soon, it will be so much better I HOPE! *SKINNY VIBES* to you all!

sounds like ur in a tough situation - its hard living with a guy cause they can eat anythign and everything and tons of it and not give a car in the world. yet we have one bite of chocolate and we gain a pound, its sooo unfair!

this past winter i would always eat dinner with my b.f and i would eat as much as he would - and obviously i gained weight. so i have to learn to serve my own portions. u just got to talk to him i guess and explain that ur stomache isnt as big as his.

he will have to get used to it eventually.. or even tell him straight up i want to loose weight, i am tryin to eat healthy and not such big portions
