Irish rose let me know the needle size. My daughter bought a bin thingie with lots of little drawers . People use them in shops to hold nuts and bolts. buttons whatever. Anyway there was over 45 pkgs of needles. each plastic pkg holds approx 10 needles. they are all long needles. to long for my singer and daughters brother. Haven't tried them in my treadles or old other machines.But I don't need that many needles.Missy I would be excited and worried too.But it is all going to be ok.Your almost there and you hit your goal plus some.A bite of cake won't stop you. You work out and do what your suppose too and Monday will be a piece of c--- (you know)good night everyone. Mary

I was going to say try to relax to but I want to slap anyone who says that to me, so I'll skip it.
Still haven't walked the dogs. Now I need to get out my LED light. I've been a hood ornament once, never again. My ex-husband just called, but that's a whole 'nother story.

I hope your ex did not bring in any drama for you. Enjoy your walk!

Woo hoo!
BTW, my Goal is 31 pounds before next doctor's appt. in September. I figured if I could do 30, I could do 31.

Today was a Craptastic day! (if you want the details, check my post "I need to vent"
The only good point to my day was that I finally got the kid to do his photo shoot. Haven't looked at them all yet, but from what I've seen they've turned out well even with the iffy weather today.
I let my issues get the best of me today and I broke my two week streak of no sodas by cracking open a diet pepsi. In a way, it's still considered a good thing as in the past, I'd of had the soda, a pizza, candy and ice cream to try to drown my problems. Instead, I had the soda and a salad.
As for how I sabotage myself...hmm....I let myself use excuses. "Just one cookie won't hurt." "I don't need to go for a walk." "I don't have time to put in a full hour on my bike now, I'll come back to it later."
The only goal I've officially met today is water. My exercise did not happen and I'm still not eating properly. Not eating junkfood, even with my niece constantly trying to feed me jellybeans and cheez-its! (two of my downfalls)
But, tomorrow is another day and it WILL BE BETTER.

Mary, the needles are 20x1. They are about 1/4" longer than the 15x1 that most machines use. Boye was a big maker. I like size 11 or 12 needles. The one in the machine now is a 14. I feell like I'm making a big hole with a 14. It's a little machine 3/4 size - why does it need a giant needle? This is exciting. Let me know what you have, but there's no hurry.

Good Morning everyone! I'm going to be gone all day so won't be able to post later. I'm packing my food to take with me for the day.
Well today is Sunday again and I'll be spending the morning in the kitchen at church. I'll have to be ever vigilant to keep my fingers out of the goodies.
DeeDee: Just remember today is another day - the first day of the rest of your life. Start over and don't beat yourself up over yesterday.
Missy - one small piece of cake probably isn't going to hurt you. Speaking from expierence though after my stomach stapling I still counldn't go back to eating the way I did pre-surgery. I had to measure my food and stay away from high calorie and surgery foods. When I went back to my old eating habits I gained weight back and alot of it. Good luck to you. My prayers are with you.
