phrases and WW
Are they any phrases that your significant other uses that drive you batshit?
There is only one (yes I’m lucky) that Dave uses that not only drove me batshit, but we actually had words over. That phrase is: “don’t worry about it.” Four simple words, right? Might not cause you to blink an eye. But…OMG! If you want to stir up my red headed temper, go ahead…say those words to me.
The funniest thing is…I have no idea WHY it drives me crazy! Maybe because when he used to (get that? “used to”) use those words it would be when I was on him about his smoking…or his driving…or some other health related issue (and if you ever saw his driving you’d KNOW it was a health related issue LMAO).
Speaking of health related issues, we agree last year that once I lost 30 pounds he’d quit smoking. I stayed with WW until June or so (even going to weigh in on vacations down the cape, in CT and in NYC). Then…I fell off the bandwagon. Why? I don’t know. Gained back everything I lost, too. damnitalltohell
The beginning of this year, I decided to weigh myself each Monday on the WW scale here at work. Up and down, up and down, up and down until I decided to go back on WW on 3/26/12. Since then, I have consistently lost (except the 4/16 weigh in…I had Popeye’s twice when we were in DC. But I did learn from that. I learned that I don’t have to have two pieces of Popeye’s and a whole biscuit…that I can have one piece and half a biscuit and enjoy it more, perhaps, than I would two!).
I’m almost a third of the way to my 30 pound loss, so Dave better get ready!

That phrase has always bothered me, I am a worrier, so telling me to not worry is like telling the earth not to spin. I try not to worry, I keep telling myself there is no point in worrying, things will happen as they are mean too, but it is to no avail.
Congrats on getting back on the wagon, it will happen and it sounds like you are ready for it. (don’t worry
)

There aren’t any phrases that bother me, just noises. “Someone” makes this weird hu-hu-huh sigh for no reason, yawns with a gargle, and sneezes so loudly I jump.

Hmmmm… my dh can’t take criticism of any sort from me. So if I try to tell him how I’ve been preparing food for the past 24 years, or if I comment on a “California stop” as he rolls through an intersection, he will say, “If you want to take over, go ahead.” Grrrrrr…. I want him to not overcook the fish, or ruin my new pots and pans, and not get a ticket!!!
One third of the way there? Go GO go!!!

Glad you are doing better. I am all off kilter since my infection. I hope to get going again soon!

That is my number one most-hated phrase. My kids used it on me all the time and I would lose my shit over it. It’s only used when SOMEBODY should be worrying.

My pet hate phrase is “Have a good one.”
Have a good one WHAT – why say it? Drives me nuts, have to grit myself not to smack the person who says it – lol”
