The Wedding was Beautiful!! Posted by Margaret on 10/28/2009, 2:37 pm 99.4.162.X Hi, all! Our daughter was married on Saturday, and everything went well....whew! I did not cry during the ceremony or the reception; but let me tell you, I cried today (Tuesday) after realizing: 1) I was going to give my camera to one of the bridesmaids husbands at the reception, but I forgot to give him the camera....grrr! 2) My neighbor offered her husband's amateur photography services to take any poses that I wanted...she asked me to give him a list of of what I wanted taken, but I forgot to give him a list.....grrr! 3) My photographer (my niece, who has just recently started taking wedding photos (this was wedding #7, by the way, arrived the day before with her family...we really did not have time to touch base with her until around 1:00 PM the day of the wedding. The wedding was at 4:00 PM. I meant to give her a list of poses (in addition to what our daughter had asked for) that I would have liked her to take.....but I forget to give her a list.....grrrrr! Fortunately, she told me she took over 1,000 photos. Unfortunately, I will not have any poses that I would have especially liked....like me giving my daughter a 125 year heirloom ring to wear on her wedding day, or pictures with both my daughters in our wedding attire, as we were getting ready in the brides dressing room. Does reading the above three things seem like I sabotaged ALL the work that I have done the last couple of months in preparing for our daughter's wedding? Our did I just forget, in the final stretch, the importance of the camera and my instructions to the photographers? I'm driving myself crazy over this; thank you all for letting me vent about it. I know it will all be fine, but I sometimes wonder about why I screwed up on probably one of the most important details (to me, that is) of the wedding and reception. My reason for coming to the support board today was to order a supply of Cambridge, since I'm back in the saddle again, so to speak. I decided to start SSing with my Cambridge, along with my neighbor buddy, who is doing her own thing (diet and exercise wise). But we will have each other to lean on, and just thinking about her going through the temptations is enough to keep me on the straight and narrow for a week or so at a time. I'm allowing myself one meal out per week. I hope you all don't think I'm nuts, especially since you probably all think I am new to the board. But I very successfully lost about 60 lbs. on Cambridge back September 2003 through May 2004....and felt wonderful! Hopefully, I can take off the 40 that I have gained back! Thanks for reading!

Re: The Wedding was Beautiful!! Posted by Gayle on 10/30/2009, 9:53 am, in reply to "The Wedding was Beautiful!!" 208.54.83.X Margaret! I just checked in today for the first time in a long while (computer gone wonky) and was surprised to see your name. I was with you during that journey. I also lost weight eventually (within in 15 lb of goal) and somehow managed to let it go again. I haven't been on the scale, but estimate 45 lbs need to go. That period when we were all SSing had a lot of success stories, remember Lola? And there was the poster from Rockwall who did great. You and your sidekick, you were Pete and Repeat (can't remember her name. Was it Cam?) Good luck Margaret!  Post a Response

Hi, Gayle! Posted by margaret on 11/2/2009, 4:56 pm, in reply to "Re: The Wedding was Beautiful!!" 99.4.162.X Nice to hear from you! Yes, I do remember Lola....her story was amazing....and the pictures of her wedding were awesome! Yep, Cam was Pete or Repeat, can't remember who was Pete and who was Repeat....you have a good memory! I am doing well SS'ing, I'm happy to report....I had dinner out on Saturday night, and will go out to dinner Friday night this week, but I guess we have to live a little, too, right! LOL! Good luck with your continued Cambridge journey. It is amazing how much better I feel when I am ss'ing. Take care!  Post a Response

Glad it was a success Posted by Pam T on 10/29/2009, 2:21 pm, in reply to "The Wedding was Beautiful!!" 97.117.72.X ..and you know, it just wouldn't be a wedding if there weren't some things forgotten or lost or some other miss step of some sort so just file it all away and keep the good memories. I know that you know that you will get that weight off, but I also know how daunting it can seem to re-lose pounds that you have lost before. I did it a few times over the years. You'll get it done. I'm sure of that. I'm here for ya if you need me!  Post a Response
