Why do people insist on calling me "Debbie?" WTF is wrong with them? I never introduce myself as Deb or Debbie; it is always, "Deborah." I don't mind people calling me Deb once they get to know me--& duh my blogger signature says Deb. But Debbie is like fingernails on a chalk board to me.
People at work make fun of me because I have started introducing myself as, "Deborah or Deb but NEVER Debbie."
Today at church a woman that I have had this conversation with called me Debbie. I wanted to tell her when she learned my name I would be happy to talk to her.
Argh! It might seem nitpicky to you but it's my freakin' name!!!
I had a cheat meal today. A big burger from my fav sports grill; Chammps. It tasted good going down. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm not enjoying it now. I'm sick to my stomach.
John & I are supposed to take a long run but I am so nauseous I can't think about running. I am supposed to lift tonight. Yeah, that is probably out, too.
For the first time I know what Wendy & Laura talk about when they say that food not considered "clean" makes them sick. IT'S NOT FAIR!!! I love burgers at Chammps!
Oh well, my waist line doesn't need them. I'll just have to stick to turkey burgers from now on. Le sigh.
I haven't taken pictures yet. It is so cold in the basement I'm afraid to put my suit on. LOL

Well, Debbie ....
Sorry!!!! I couldn't resist :)
I totally hear you on the name thing. It would make me nuts too. I think a lot of people feel that way. I've known Anthonys who hate being called Tony and Laurences who hate being called Larry. It just seems to me that the courteous and correct thing to do when you meet someone is to ask them how they prefer to be addressed, and then use that. If someone introduces herself as Deborah, that's what you should call her unless she asks you to call her something else.
I'm sorry the burger isn't settling well. I think the key with "unclean" foods maybe is to have only a very tiny portion. Like, if you're craving the taste of a Chammmps burger, maybe you could just have a bite of John's and then get something like a salad as your main meal. That approach seems to work pretty well unless it's a food to which I'm supersensitive. For instance, I don't do well with a lot of sugar and wheat in my system, but if I only have a nibble of cake or a taste of cookie dough I don't generally notice any adverse effects.
This is so funny! I know a couple Debras and Deborahs and I NEVER know what to call them. Normally I just go for "Deb." But my IRL friend Deb calls herself Deb, Debbie, Debra ... I get confused. Sometimes I just go to the plain ol' "HEY YOU!"
While I'm at it, Jennifer/Jenny/Jen similarly confounds me. But I digress.
Sorry about the disappointing burger. Been there, done that, hate it. Next time maybe just have half the burger? As Laura said, I think it might have been a volume issue.
Well, you could be Marie, which always gets morphed into "Maria" despite the fact that IT'S AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT NAME ALTOGETHER.
But I digress.
:-)
And I am now going to call you Deborah, ok, Deborah? mwah!
Andrew gets that too. He always introduces himself as "Andrew" and people often shorten it to "Andy". He cuts people who have known him since he was eight some slack otherwise, he keeps repeating "Andrew!" until it sticks.
You know that is why I never cheat and have never really understood the concept of a cheat meal. It makes you feel so terrible that it isn't worth it. Obviously, I can't cheat on the gluten thing. But I don't even go for sugary stuff that technically I could get away with. I think partly that it is just that I felt so awful for so long that nothing at this point is more important than feeling good.
