Good Morning You Luvable Ladies

I was going to weigh myself this morning and was in such a hurry I forgot!!! dang it !

Whats happening w/you all. TOM is approaching and I'm soooo hungry lately.

Did I tell you all that I haven't gone back to that woman counselor (after 4 sessions), she said she treats eating disorders but personally I think she was just learning on me and my time. All she would tell me was what kind of diets I should be on. First week she shunned Atkins, two weeks later she suggests I go on a Low Carb diet then it was get all the bad foods out of your house... well no kidding dork. Almost like she was working on the symptoms and not the cause. It was frustrating so I stopped going. Then she says to me during my last visit.. Oh.. you love to eat don't you ??????? No Sh*t Shirlock.....That was the straw. Oh well what can you do, live and learn.

Whats brewing in your world ?

Leenie: sorry to hear about the dork therapist. Are you going to find someone else?

Well, my eating habits suck again. I'm starting from fresh today. I have a wedding this weekend and DH says "why not wait until then?" I told him I'm going to eat a little something before I go, and if they don't have something I can have I'll eat something (although a bit late in the night) later. Not sure how to handle the birthdays coming up (DH is next month and mine is the month after). Figure something LC and skip the cake? I need more willpower.
Didn't apply at the hospital. Finally went off the deep end yesterday and figured who am I kidding? I'm not smart enough to remember even a 1/4 of the stuff I'd need to know. So I'll stay where I'm at (for now). Yup, been down in the dumps. Can ya tell?

Leenie: Get another therapist! That one is definitely a dork....a lot of them can be that's for sure. I think in order to become a therapist you have to have had issues in your life.....now it doesn't seem to matter if they are resolved or not as I have found out. Geez......Oh, no offense to anyone here who is a therapist.....*taking foot out of mouth*

Brenda: DO I HAVE TO YELL! What do you mean you aren't smart enough? That is the silliest thing I have ever heard you say! It may be tough at first but of course you could learn that job. Come on.........don't settle. I know sometimes it seems like the easy thing to do but you can do this if you really want. If you are truely happy in your current job than that is one thing...but if you want to move on then take the leap girl! I know you can do it.

I just got in the office. I had my MRI this morning. Boy those things are freaky All that noise and you are stuck head first in this tunnel. I thought I was doing ok then I would open my eyes and .......I would close them again and take deep breaths....I made it though it. I feel for people that have serious issues and have to have those all the time.

Weighed myself this morning. Not bad, only up 1-2. I will lose that by the end of this week. I really have to start working harder if I want to get rid of that last 9 pounds.

Well, off to check my emails.....more later.

Good Morning Everyone!

Leenie: Sounds like you really had a bad therapist. Seems like she was telling you what you already knew! Hope you find a better one! Have a great day!

Brenda: You can learn the job, I know you can. I used to have a job in a car dealership service department. I had to file all the warranty claims, and do payroll. Payroll was a breeze, but the warranty stuff, I had no idea about. The person who had the job before me had just walked out. No one there knew how to do it, so I had to train myself on their computer system. That was hard, but I did it! If I can do that, I am sure you could do the job in the hospital. If you really want it, go for it. They will train you to do the job! Good Luck with whatever you decide!

Jane: Sorry that you had to go through that test. I could never handle that! I have a major issue with closed in spaces! Hope you are feeling better!

Well, nothing much happening here today. Getting ready for another day of work. I talked to my boss yesterday, and told her I was ready to give up Saturdays. I work Fridays from 11:30-9, and then have to be back at work on Saturday from 6-3. It's just getting to be too much. Plus, we never even get to sit down on Saturdays. 9 hours on my feet right now is just not a good thing! Me and DH talked the other day, and decided it was time to give them up until after the baby is born! Well, time for me to get ready for work. Hope everyone has a great day, and I'll check in later today!

Lisa

Oh Jane, I hope the results are good. I've gone thru a closed MRI, they are freaky, can't help but think while your laying there that OMG its like being in a coffin ICK!! the open ones are MUCH better but I think for the head and neck it should be closed. Please let us know the results, I'll be praying for you. Sorry about the gain

Brenda Brenda Brenda, YOU STUPID????????? I highly think not. Of course your gonna feel that way until you learn the system but I bet you'll learn it fast and you'll be able to do it with your eyes closed. Listen the one thing I've learned in my life about work and jobs..... is that I can do ANYTHING!!! I went from working in a nursing home, to a cadillac dealership to where I am now, and thats Pharmaceutical.... You can learn anything lady, don't sell yourself so short okay. IF I had a company I'd hire you in a flash. Now...stop worrying about the b/day party, the wedding and the job. Just take one thing at a time and try not to overload the brain (I do the same thing ya know). Try not to worry about what you have no control over. It doesn't do the body good. Love you !!!

Lisa: FINALLY! It's about time! You need to take it easy. And now you can do other fun things on Saturdays

Leenie: I'm sure it is going to be just fine but thank you for your thoughts. As for the gain ...not really bothering me. I had a very big weekend and if I only gain 2 then I can deal with that.

good morning sunshines!!!!

B- I am not going to say anything except "YOU ARE SMART!!!"

Leenie- glad you recognized quick the counselor deal and could get outta there before you waste to much money and time. Whatta putz she is.

Jane -hope the MRI results come out good.

Lisa- I learned the hard way to take it easy during pregnancy and ended up with a month of bedrest in my 9th month cause I couldn't slow down in the early months. So YES take it easy.

Well I did good yesterday staying OP and I am starting back to the gym today so we will see how it goes. I have been so tired this week and last week, must be leftovers from vacation and all the activity and driving, who knows!!?? I am scared to weigh myself and see how much I gained on vacation, it will be scary!

Better get to work.
Have a Great day

Good morning, lovelies!

Leenie - There's a favorite word of mine the I'll share with you for times like these: F**kwit. Kindof just rolls off the tongue, huh? (it also comes in handy when you're driving)

Brenda, Brenda - Two things. One: fill up on good stuff before they get to the cake. It's easier to stay OP if you're not hungry. Two: you're never too stupid for anything! Apply for the job - the worst that can happen is they go with someone else, which is guaranteed to happen if you don't apply. What do you have to lose?

Jane - Did my brain skip something? Why did you have an MRI? I sure hope everything is ok!

Mrs H - Let the maternity leave begin!!!! Wa-hoo!!!!!!!!

Well, I'm a little bit of a stress ball. I found out yesterday that the approvals needed for my extension haven't gone through yet so next Tuesday may be my last day. Ack! I'm looking for other jobs (have been for the last 3 weeks) but I'm in this crappy position of being really overqualified for the jobs I did in the past and not having the desired degree for the jobs I'm qualified to do. So it's hard to get people to pay attention to me. BUT once I have that interview, I normally get the job. I know something will work out for me. It always does. Want to hear the pathetic part? One of the big reasons I want to stay where I am (other than the great pay and benefits I'll get if I get hired on) is that they don't care what you wear to work. That means I have just one wardrobe. How am I going to pay for another wardrobe if I end up somewhere that wants me to dress up? Bah!

I won't be around tomorrow because it's Rock-Fest time! Wah-hoo! I'm so excited. I'll most likely come back looking like an overcooked lobster, but it's still going to be fun.

Everyone have a great day!

Good morning TG! I'm terrified of the gym, but one of my girlfriends almost has me talked into a membership. She thinks she wants to pay for half as my birthday present. Hmmmmmmmmmm..........

Theo'sgirl: Don't worry so much about weighing yourself. I've gotten so that I just don't really care as much. Kind of weird. I know if I am bad and I know I will be up and that's that. Good for you going back to the gym.

StarPrincess: Weren't you here when I cracked my head open at work a couple of weeks ago I am having headaches since then. They wanted me to get an MRI done just in case something got banged up inside also. Mostly precautionary. But figure if workers comp is paying then sure why not
