Wow, lots of activity here in the past few days! I love it!!! I am pretty much back on board with healthy eating and portions, but haven't exercised for several days. Getting ready to go on Spring Break vacation. Not sure if I'll be in touch via the internet, so please forgive me if I can't post until the 26th, and please everyone else, keep posting and supporting one another!
1life2liv: How SCARY about your dog biting your daughter on the face!!! So sorry that happened!!! I, too, would opt for adoption over euthanasia. Maybe the dog needs to be in a home without children. What does your vet say? Is your daughter okay? Understandable that you found some comfort in food. Good for you for talking yourself down before way overdoing it! I can imagine how uncomfortable that must have been to have thoughts of purging, but the important thing to focus on is that you did NOT purge, even under pressure. Maybe journal about the whole situation to help yourself "debrief." Good luck with everything! BIG HUGS to you!!!
Holly: Sorry you have felt blah the past couple weeks. That is no fun! I hope you get your energy and spirit back soon, "Cupcake!" Yes, we both need to work on keeping our focus on the positive and making healthy choices in order to get to what we truly want ~ a slimmer and trimmer body! WE CAN DO IT!!! I hope you will thoroughly ENJOY your 3 weeks off before you start your summer job!
ohiofreespirit: Happy to hear that you are excited about school and that your mood is good! Best of luck juggling both Business and Math! It is kind of nice that you will have one class in person and one online. Keeps it interesting!
Fi: Love the names Oscar and Nenu and your reasons for both! Can't wait until you can hold your sweet kittens!!! So sorry that your meds got screwed up and you are having a rough time of it depression-wise. That should not have happened with your meds! I can understand your frustration and irritation. I hope you are back on meds and feeling better by the time you read this post. Hang in there! BiG HUGS to you!
worththeeffort2: Good for you for getting your gym schedule started!!! YOU ARE DOING IT!!! WooHoo!!! Are you swimming in your new swimsuit?!? Good luck on getting in those veggies!
projectjudi: Of course it's okay for you to join the group!!! We are happy to have you here with us! That's a bummer that you have more downs than ups, but glad to hear that your meds are keeping you pretty stable at the moment. Good for you for joining Weight Watchers. Remember, slow and steady wins the race! Slow weight loss has the best chance of staying off, so you are doing well! Focus on the POSITIVE!!!
Hey, Chelsea and Trish and shr1nk1ngme, are you gals still around?!? I hope you are at least reading along. If so, please post and let us know how things are going for you! We care!
