Shoelace and Homeland Security

Dona Worry Be Happy · Vette's SS!!

Do it. And if they ask why, well, fess up and say you recently lost weight.

Domestic Engineer · Guru

Go buy some new slacks.

weltschmerz · Guru

Did you want to lose weight?
If so, congratulations!

Yeah, just buy new pants. If you're still losing, get a pair at the thrift store. I don't know your financial situation.
A shoelace holding your pants up just won't do.

Let me in on the secret of how to lose so much weight!!

I know what to do_sometimes · Frozen Sucks!

Yep get new pants.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

New pants or suspenders.

I vote for suspenders.

The secret? Not much of a secret.

I cut out sugar and most carbs to control my blood sugar. Then ...

After our last national meeting, I came home with bronchitis. And while I could hardly breathe, I just didn't feel like eating.

The bronchitis is almost cleared up, and I'm cheating a little bit on the not eating thing. (I ate entire Kit Kat bar cry ).

At the meeting, there was PLENTY of delicious food, but it was way too greasy for my taste. And maybe I was already coming down with the virus.

Since then I've LIKED seeing my weight every day.

Another two or 3 months like this, and I'll reach my target weight!

(Okay, you can giggle now.)

I'm down 45 pounds from my high. Other than my pants falling down at inopportune times, I LIKE it.

At the next meeting, we'll be having dinner one evening at an African restaurant. Any suggestions? Any idea what I should expect?

What kind of African? North? Central? South?

Congrats again on the weight loss! 45 pounds is quite a bit.

African as in inside Disney in Orlando. That's all I know.

Here's a menu from an East African restaurant. West African dishes are heavy on tomatoes, onions and chili peppers. Food is often cooked in tagines.
North African cuisine is completely different, with a heavy emphasis on Middle Eastern food.
It's good.

With a 45 pound weight loss, you need a whole new wardrobe.

Lol! OK.

Don't worry, you'll be fine. It's not terribly spicy, but very flavourful.

Lots of veggies.

Sorry you had to be sick for so long in order to lose the weight.

Yes, you DESERVE clothes that fit!

FNW · Guru

Glad something good came of being sick!

Look at the restaurants on-line and then you can decide what you can eat. I'm looking at Jiko, and they have grilled items. Boma has a buffet, be careful of those...Sanaa uses a lot of spices.

It's JIKO. I posted a link to the menu, and got great advice from you guys.

THANK YOU !!!

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

I lost a great deal of weight waiting to get bad enough for a hernia repair.

I was so sick for months.

And then as soon as I got over that, I started having gall bladder trouble.

And then I got bit by a spider and the infection got into my blood and landed me back in the ER.

And then the antibiotics, I was one 7 different ones in a weeks time, taking 2 and 3 at a time, made my body go crazy.

It was a long 2 years.

I'm so sorry Lily, at least you lived through it. I'm glad, since I like conversing with you here.

Stay warm and dry,

Not if you get the ones with plastic clips.
