Breaking free of the cotton candy web of denial...

[onatreetop]

Thank you all for the good advice. I have had more mris and catscans then I can count or remember. I can and have fallen asleep in the tube. I can relax that much even with the very loud noise. It has taken years of practice and alot of testing but yes I can block out that noise and tight feeling and fall asleep snoring like a chainsaw!!! It usually scares the techs. and they have to wake me. Funny right! They told me most likey three hours. They asked if I can lay still for 45min at a time and my reply was without a problem I just dont get the chance very often! So today is the day. Then from there I am going to a pampered chef party. Havent been to one of those in years. Should be interesting. Free food!! Really amazing cook this lady is that is hosting! I am bound to gain ten pounds tonight.

I'm glad you know what you're "in" for.

[jola57]

mmmmm, I would love to attend one of those. I can just imagine the food. Do let us know what you had

Me too, cause I'm hungry and want to eat off your plate.

She made these amazing cresent rolls with cream cheese and chipped beef rolled inside. Not diet food but soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo tasty. They have come out with some cool new gadgets. Fresh salsa, fruit and dips. Oh coarse lots of wine.

Sounds good Onatreetop. I can taste it! So good...hey onatreetop look over there...just grabbed your crescent roll.

I'm shutting my eyes and pretending that the rice cake my daughter who is doing Pilates as we speak says I have to eat as a snack so I won't put on more than Pred weight is really one of those crescent rolls covered in creme cheese. Proud and annoyed that all the tough love lessons I used on her when she was a teenager are now being used on me. (lol) Oh wait, I can taste the creme cheese, sometimes an active imagination pays off.

Oh, so funny. Man, we are REALLY driven by pred. We're actually even stealing virtual food!

Rice cakes are a good idea. Hmmm. Wonder if they'd hold much cream cheese.

[onatreetop]

To much is never enough!!! I want all comfort food at the moment. I am nursing the flu or cold. something not fun. This is my 6th day dragging with it. Called the doc he called in 3 weeks of antibiotics. Yeapy!!!!! Now I am craving veryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy bad food. Wish that I could lose weight like the side effects said I would!!!!!! What a myth!!! For me anyway! I going to hit the fruit loops!!!

Onatreetop--the weight gain side effect of pred trumps any weight loss side effects of the other drugs we take (by a long shot).
