Total Deja Vu. The scale is stuck at 152. Uck. Will we be trying for 113 by Xmas? It's a perfect plan. Off to work again. With my 20 calorie Monster. Seriously, I think my office would fall apart if I didn't show up early (good for the paycheck) there's always someone here between 8:30 and 9:00. Be it a driver, one of our contractors or a customer. Anyway, I'm off to work for another day. *Skinny* Morning!

[ThinMint06]

keep busy at work, I'll keep busy with plato and organic chem and before you know it, there will be an entirely different league of guys trying to swoon us.

That's a fabulous idea. I didn't get on the scale this morning. Ended up eating KFC last night (SWIFT KICK for that one). Couldn't bring myself to get on there this morning. FINALLY my Relacore showed up in the mail box last night. I paid for my Relacore and my Zantrex - 3 at the same day... last Wednesday. The Zantrex - 3 showed up in 2 days. The Relacore took 7 days. It better be worth the wait. A little unimpressed with that Ebay transaction. Anyways.

This morning is a success so far.
1 bottle *Aquafina* 0 calories
1 Sugar Free Red Bull (I'm hooked) 10 calories.

Another day at the office. Here we go. *Skinny* Morning to you all!

Didn't get on the scale again today. Feeling bloated, and stressed. Totally sick of being taken advantage of . Removing myself completely from the situation. Being grateful that I am not stupid enough to continue being treated the way stupid ex-fh treats me.

Here's the story.... So, last week he tells me that he's going to pay me for the cable bill that's behind. That's the cable, internet, and home phone rolled into one. He got $600 (but the way he got it made NO sense- supposedly the company gives their self employed drivers "passes" each worth $600- he doesn't actually work for the company he's a contractor, whatever). He didn't give me anything last week for the bill, but he spent $300 on his nieces and nephews school supplies (he "feels bad" for his sister, she didn't have the money. HELLO HE DIDN'T HAVE IT EITHER)!! So, he tells me he'll pay me this week. Yea, how many times have I heard that one before? At least 10,000 times. Main issue is that "next week" never comes. So, at least I'm smart enough to contact the cable company. They tell me that there's a pending disconnection on the account due to the bill being overdue (I can't find paper copies I think he hid them). Keep in mind here that I hadn't seen a paper copy of the bill in 2 months. The cable company tells me that I owe them $281.10 WHAT ?? I should have been $218... further interrigation of the nice operator reveals that SOMEONE hhmm wonder who that would be?? Ordered a $49.99 Pay Per View event. On an evening that I wasn't even home. Boxing.

I was actually STUPID enough to contemplate working things out with him. There's no way. I ABSOLUTELY can't be with someone SO irresponsible, who, lies, who waits until it's to late to take care of the simple things. WHY in the world would I WANT to spend my life with someone who drags me backward?? Even on my worst day I deserve so much better than that. Tonight I'm going to go make sure that ALL of my things are gone from his house. He can cry all he wants, he may be a nice guy BUT that only goes so far. He's going to drag me back into debt again (been there done that HORRIBLE) I can't let that happen.

Has anyone noticed that I'm only here while I'm at work? His computer got repo ed lol. I went over one night and it was gone. Lol they came and took it because he didn't pay for it. So, I'm on here til my stuff gets transfered. I better go back to TRYING to work. I desperately need the 3 day weekend this weekend *Skinny* Day to you all!

[*No more footprints*]

Your ex sounds like a right piece of work The sooner you can get him out of your life, the better!

Hope you get this whole thing with him sorted soon!

So close to being permanently rid of the stupid boy. It makes me want to throw up. Here's the deal...

As you may or may not know, I work for a car dealer. He also happens to own a property development company as well. This means that not only do I handle car paperwork, I also deal with a lot of rental properties. Paperwork, leases, utilities, taxes and so forth. We own over 100 properties.

That being said, my boss rented a house to stupid boy's sister. The next thing you know it's a fiasco (fiasco's seem to run in the family lately). She's permanently behind on the rent, lying to my boss about when she going to pay, hitting on our crew of contractors that work on the houses, calling them wanting them to come do extra stuff for her, she forgot to list that ex's mom was living with her and her 3 kids, EVERYTHING WENT WRONG. Well the rent hasn't been paid yet (it was due 2 1/2 weeks ago) and she still owes $200 from the month before that, plus an electric bill and a water bill. Totaling almost $1500. So, last Friday I filed her eviction papers. Hello you can't just go on like this. Does she honestly expect to live in our house for free (the answer is an obvious yes) So, she gets court papers served to her last Saturday. Her court date is this Friday. So, she calls ex and blames me for her being evicted. The other part of the story is that she has a plane ticket to Arizona for the end of this month. That's $300 that could of gone toward the rent (but probably wouldn't have and why can you afford to go on vacation if you don't even have the money to pay the bills anyway) so, because I told my boss she didn't have the money it's MY fault she's getting evicted. Sure it's my fault. I'm the reason she doesn't pay for ANYTHING. Screw that, blame whoever. It doesn't have anything to do with me. So, now they are both mad at me. Now she's got to move (with 3 kids) into ex's 2 bedroom house that's not a whole lot bigger than my 1 bedroom apartment. And she hates me. It's absolutely the STUPIDEST thing I've ever heard. And I makes me sick to my stomach. I got a new phone with a new number so I don't have to hear it anymore.

However, I'm just mad so no food for me this morning *Skinny morning*

Oh my god, that's absolutely ridiculous, but aleast he'll be out of your life soon, so it'll be all good. I can't believe she's blaming you for her being an idiot and not paying her bills. Seriously! Grow up!

How's the soup queen coming? are you royal again yet? Keep up the good work hun, and don't let those idiots get to you!

Skinny Day!

[Skinny_Chick]

Whew. I can't wait. My internet is being transfered back to my house this Saturday. FINALLY I'll be around all the time. I haven't been on the scale in almost a week. Lots of soup and crackers. A few sandwiches. I've been taking my Relacore every day, my boss asked me the other day if I was losing weight. Well I don't know if I have. But fabulous that people are noticing.

My boss actually offered yesterday to work out a payment plan with ex's sister so she could stay in the house. SHE DIDN'T TAKE IT!! Are you kidding me. My boss came right out and told me that it was a case of her knowing the right people (yep, that would be me, I got her into our house when she needed a palce the first time and then I got her a payment plan I'm saving her a** and she hates me) she then said that ex's sister better stop hating my guts and start kissing a** instead (she's totally right). Ex's sister said that since she's wanting to move across the country (Arizona is a loooooooong way from Mi.) that we might as well just evict her and garnish her paychecks. STUPID STUPID GIRL. So she's moving in with ex. With 3 kids and no money. I yelled at him so much that he cried. I have no sympathy for her. "But that's my sister" yea whatever. My parents threw me out of the house when I was 24 (4 years ago) and I struggled like CRAZY, but I'm in a pretty good position these days. It was BY NO MEANS easy but it didn't kill me, only made me stronger. I told him that if he keeps helping her she'll never learn. If he's worried about his niece and nephews let them stay. But as for his mom and sister (55 and 30) GROW UP stop relying on other people and go take care of your own life. Simple. Take the kids and tell your sister to either find a place to live here or go to Arizona and start figuring it out. Whatever. For as much as he drives me nuts it makes me absolutely SICK to watch his family sit around and take advantage of him.
His job is a mess he may have to get a new one. And his family still wants him to take care of them. I'd love to give them a piece of my mind.

On a much brighter note... my boss is pregnant. In a few months she won't be working anymore. So she needs someone to take over her job. She runs the property side of our office. The someone she wants to replace her... TA DA me. That's HUGE. A raise, more hours (if that's even possible lol), more everything all good so that's the BEST news of the week. Aside from the fact that I'll be here more. Tomorrow I'll have weight number for the week. Please keep in mind when I post it that I'm horribly bloated and have a nasty case of pms. We'll see though. Off I go into another day of crazy work. Doing everything in sight (hey it's what got me the promotion offer in the first place). So, I do it, no questions asked. *Skinny* morning to you all. Depending on my day I may not be back here until tomorrow. We'll see how my day is.

[candy]

Okay so she is officially an idiot, she's ruining her credit by being evicted and have her pay check garnished, but I guess she's probably got horrible credit anyways, since she's so dumb! I'm very glad to hear you will be rid of them!

YAY! Promotion! That's soooooo unbelievably exciting, congrats! I wish I could buy you a drink or something, but alas, I don't even know what state you're in. I hope today went great! Can't wait to see your weighin tomorrow morning, and even if there is no number change if you're looking thinner to people it's prob water weight. Keep up the great attitude and more good things will happen!

Skinny Vibes!

Thanks Candy I'm in Michigan Where jobs are VERY hard to come by at the moment. Let alone good jobs with promotions Having a rough week. The scale is stuck at 150. At least the pms water weight is gone. Ex is miserable (who wouldn't be with 6 people in an itty bitty house) whatever. Not my problem. Working myself to death still. Didn't work for Labor Day last Monday (didn't get paid for it either) but still managed to work 42 hours in 4 days. At least the paycheck will still be tolerable. The internet is turned back on at my house. Need to start using it more, been trying to sleep more lately (I don't sleep then wonder why I feel like garbage duh) It's another day at the office. I'm ok with it at least I can say I really like my job *Skinny* morning to you all.

[ThinMint06]

hi skinny. hope the stuborn scale moves soon. it just takes time. you're going to ROCK this!!!

[Skinny_Chick]

Thanks dearest Minty I've got to be 99.5 % water right now. Still working, busiest time of day now. Tons of water today. Fruit salad for lunch... 75 calories. I'm finishing another day! *Skinny* evening

[candy]

You're doing great skinny! I'm so proud! Keep it up and that damned scale is sure to move sooner or later!

I'm glad the drama is out of your life now, it must have been so stressful, I would've died!

[Skinny_Chick]

Thanks Candy *Aquafina* breakfast of champions this morning. Hahaha. I probably SCREWED UP ROYALLY yesterday. Ex called. Freaking out, because he can't take 2 stupid adults and 3 tyrant kids who don't listen living in his house. LMAO they've only been there for 3 days. He wanted me to come take him to the grocery store just so he could get out of the house. He's going to get his car today, it's down by the Indiana border, he'll just bring it home and the finance company will repo it (he hasn't paid for it in like 4 months) now they call my house looking for it. So, because I really wanted to see his niece and nephews I went. Should NOT have done that. At least I was smart enough to go home afterwards. So, tonight I'm going straight home where I can have soup (it's freezing here lately bring on the Soup Queen) and jello and NO ONE will be there to care. When I was doing so well before it was because I went from work to home by myself, and I could do what I wanted. Simple as that. It's the place I need to get back to. The weight just fell off. And it was only less than a year ago that I was in that place. Anyways...

Story of my morning. I'm breaking the work week barrier lately. I went from 9 hour days to 9 1/2 hour days to 10 hour days to almost 10 1/2 hour days in the last month. The paychecks keep getting bigger which is fantastic the bills are almost totally caught up. There's no need for me to slow down yet, work is going strong. I'll be around later maybe during the day, but Wednesdays are usually crazy, so I might not be back til after work. We'll see. *Skinny* daydreams for the day As usual I'm back to another crazy day.
