Hey all! Hope everyone is having a good weekend. although I'm not doing anything special, I am enjoying having this extra day off. Still hanging in there trying to stay on plan. Just kinda been skating by & not trying really hard this past week or so but have been working on it today. getting ready to go to the grocery store so I can really stay on plan this week.

Lily: holy crap girl...you are one tough lady. I don't have any advice other than to agree with Aud and say "Get a lawyer!" will keep you and your family in my prayers.

Soon2bfab: Welcome. You will really enjoy it here. I've gotten LOTS of support in the past few months and don't know what I would have done without it.

Hope everyone has a great week.

Lily, I'm sorry to hear you're in such a tough situation. I think you are a very strong person to deal with all of this and to lose wieght on top of it all. I hope things start to look up for you soon, you are an inspiration and I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. :hug:

I'm back down 3 of the 6 lbs I gained over my holliday. Back on track.
Enjoy the rest of your long weekend!

Lily, if you're not on SS disability, get yourself on it soonest. Then you can qualify for Medicare after a waiting period, 18 mos. I think, then you are no longer dependent on DH's insurance for your own self. When you qualify for medicare, get Part B and the drug supplement, and your meds will be covered -- pick your plan by the lowest cumulative cost for your particular meds. And you'll want to look ino Medigap insuance too, for all the stuff Medicare Part B doesn't cover, and deductibles. If you need help getting on SS disability, there are companies that specialize in that. I used one, and they performed miracles, and they performed them very quickly. I even got a big lump payment for backdated claim grant. And like aud said, Lawyer Up!

Health issues first. Like the flight attendant reminds the passengers, you can't help anybody else including your kids until after you put on your own oxygen mask. If you try, you just become another one of the victims. Health is critical. People are important. STUFF is not important. Nobody ever lay on her deathbed saying "Gee, I wish I'd taken better care of my jewelry."

Good luck, God bless, and keep us all posted or I will personally hunt you down and tickle you until you pee your pants. In public. Then I'll tell everybody. A terrible fate. Don't make me do it.

Hiya sunchick! Glad you're hanging in there! WTG puncie - 3lbs is 3lbs! LOL!:dizzy:

Aud - Thanks! I just started lc, day one under my belt! I did atkins before & lost 40lbs, but then I moved in with my now husband (we were married in JUne) and I stopped Atkins & started gaining. Now I'm 50 lbs heavier!!
No children yet, but I want at least one, but I would like to drop the weight first. I do work full time as a retail manager.

Hi everyone,

I wanted to continue and let everyone know that I am on my SS disability. I am now on Medicare but not the one that covers any of my med's. Since DH is Lacy's step-dad, he wouldn't have to cover her on insurance if we divorced. . Without a doubt, she is facing surgery again for the 3rd time. (Lacy basically has no biological father as she was conceived via artificial inseminaton). I have never let DH adopt Lacy cause he has kept screwing up for the past 10 yrs. Plus, if something happens to me, I don't want him raising her cause he'd screw that up too.

aud, I do agree about needing a lawyer. I just don't know how I can make my house payment and pay a lawyer too. The safety deposit box idea is a great one and I wish I had done that sooner. Right now, there is nothing left to bother with locking up, he's already pawned it all off. (Unless you count my high school classring from 30 yrs. ago and my nursing school pin, that is all that is left).

Shellie, OK is a joint property state. So , filing a police report wouldn't help cause I know who took my stuff, it was DH. In this state, there isn't crap that they would do about it.

Hi Ladies:)

Hope everyone had a wonderful Holiday yesterday.I spent mine time watching fed ex cup golf tournament. We had BBQ hamburgers Hot dogs and corn on the cob.
