Daily Thread -- Monday, January 26
 

Goooooooood morning all! :wave:

Not much time to chat... gotta jump in the shower in 5 minutes to get to work by 9. But I wanted to say hi!

I've had a good weekend, which after the Friday I had, I needed! (See my post in Alternachicks Chat under the Bite Me! thread.) I got all my laundry done Sunday, visited with my mom and dad, straightened up my apt., and wrote my long-overdue Christmas thank-you notes. Better late than never I guess! Now I just have to actually put AWAY the laundry ;) Tonight, tonight...

I have kept myself on the program, have not engaged in any self-destructive overeating. I drove past Pizza Hut last night and was kind of grossed out by the thought of all that food. Here's hoping I stay that way!

Ok, off to work... noooo! Hehehe! :lol: Well, until I get my million dollar check in the mail, I guess I need some way of paying the rent, right? Is it bad to fantasize about becoming independantly wealthy? :s:

Have a great day, ladies, and I hope the world treats you well!

There you are, Sarah! :wave:

I'm just getting ready for my one hour walk to the Market with my psychi. It's -32C out. I'm going to see if DH has time to drive me a few blocks closer before he heads off to work. brrrrrrrrrrr.

I'll be back later... love and hugs to all... :grouphug:

Just a quick hello...
 

Running off to work but wanted to say good morning!

Have a great day :)

Today I go back to nights
 

Good Morning Everyone :wave:

Ellis- Sweetie I am sorry you had a rough weekend with the food. Never quit posting because I WORRY! Have a safe trip to the psychiatrist. It dumped buckets of snow here last night! Currently we are at 18 F and still dumping snow.

Morning Kat- Your response in Step 1 was wonderful. I meant to reply last night but a friend in crisis called. That thread is very powerful and I see myself in everyone of you, I think its good to sometimes look back and see how you got here to remember how important it is to keep going.

Jenelle, Christy, Sarah- My thoughts and prayers go with you today.

Its a snow day. so I am going to spend some time with my son :grouphug:

Much love,
Miss Chris :write:

Hey all!

Chris -- It's a snow day here, too. I'm a very happy camper right now. Enjoy the time with your son.

Ellis -- I am constantly amazed that you walk that far in those frigid temperatures! Drink something nice and warm when you get in, 'kay?

Kat -- I, too, enjoyed your share on the step thread. Good work! I hope you have a great day at work. No snow days for you all, huh?

Sarah -- Sounds like your doing great with your program! Keep up the good work and have a great day.

Jennelle -- Thinking of you! (((hugs)))

I've been doing some writing on the history of my obesity. It's very eye-opening and cathartic. I actually feel like writing down so much of it is helping me to let it go, to a certain extent. Yesterday I worked on it on and off and have about 8 pages written. Hmmm...think I have issues?

Well, I'm signing out for now. The man is haggling with a car saleseman 'cuz we might have found me a Liberty. :D

Later,
Christy

Evening all!
 

Chris and Christy - Thanks! I really enjoyed reading the thread, too. It's amazing how we can be so different yet share the same disease/be so much the same. I related to all of the shares, too!

It's a short week for me. Friday is a pupil free day, so I do not work. We are having friends stay with us this weekend from San Francisco. Two of them are twins and I have been friends with them all my life (we are just a month apart). I even celebrated my one month abstinence anniversary at one of their weddings. :)

Jennelle: Where are you, hun?

Sarah: Have fun spending that million! :lol:

Ellis: I, too, am shocked that you walk in that weather. It was a brisk, 63 degree day here. I wore my scarf all day. :lol: I'm such a wimp - you'd never know I had grown up with snow! :dz:

Chris: I loved snow days as a kid! I hope you had a relaxing time with your son.

Christy: That's awesome you got that writing done! :cp: I find journaling so incredibly helpful. And, you're right, no snow days for me! :cry: But I get a sunny day to keep my mood up, so it's a fair trade. :sunny: At my old district, we actually could have flood days - but I never experienced one. The drainage system in LA sucks. Hence why our floods hit the news every once in a while. A few years ago my parking lot at my apartment (an old one) was completely flooded (luckily our cars were in a raised section and were fine) - the flood actually made national news and my sister-in-law saw our apartment in Maine on the news! :eek: :lol:

OK, gonna clean some more. I went shopping at Target and got some cleaning supplies. I was running out.

Have a good night!

Chris, are you getting that big storm? Are you alright? I hope you had fun with your little DS. Be careful driving, hon. :grouphug:

Christy, a snow day for you, too! What's going on down there!? Do you girls live in the boonies? :D
Eight pages, hmmm? Yes, I'd say you've got issues. ;) What a great idea writing it all down. I'm dying to get right into the "eating disorder thing" with my psychiatrist, but that's really not what I'm there for. :D

Kat, have you got all your cleaning done for you company? What a great excuse to clean, huh? Sometimes it's the only way to get any done.

Jennelle, are you alright? How was your day? :grouphug:

Sarah... how's your crappy job going, hon? :( Shall I find you another?

Yes, it was pretty darned cold out today. I'm feeling a little dizzy right now... I wonder if I got an inner ear "thing" from the cold. I WAS really bundled up. In fact, I looked a complete freak in my hat, scarves, sunglasses, wind-proof pants...

Just getting the children to bed... love to all of you... :grouphug:
