Hi Ladies,

What a crazy week. I came home early today from work b/c of the snow and the schools closing. Felt good to get home after such a stressful drive.

I'll catch up more tomorrow

Thats a GREAT way to do it. ..... VERY COOL !!! and congrats on the 6 days, thats awesome.

Holly I know exactly what you mean about friends not understanding. My best friend is my DH and he's great to talk to but that skinny little man has no clue (even though he trys) about being over weight or having depression Thats why I love coming here b/c I know someone will understand. You are SOOOOO welcomed here as is everyone. Some days its slow and some days its hoppin and I can't keep up LOL good to see you

Cathy Cathy Cathy, how goes your morning exercise? What are you doing this weekend, anything exciting?

Sassy good to see your back and out of lurkdom Some days it takes alot for me to post... .. reasons being, I am so busy at work but some times I'm just in a funk and would rather lurk (mostly b/c I'm busy though LOL). We all get like that so don't feel bad. Its very much understandable here.... did that make sense ??? lolol, there goes my adhd kicking in hehehehe.

Buddly forgive me but where are you going ??? A trip and a new hairdoo... sounds promising to me Hope your having fun and be safe.

Trish, good point. Some people do understand depression but don't understand exactly how badly it effects us, Like your Mom, I think my DH is the same way. But, its good we have them to lean on

Well the snow has stopped for now. Looks like we got at least 8" with lots of ice. We are suposed to go see a play today at a local HS called High School Musical (disney show).... but we will see if the roads are cleared by then.

Thats about it for me other than the usual... cleaning, laundry...yuk.

How about you girls? whats up for the weekend?

Hello all

My plans for this weekend (omg its saturday already)
I'm going to my friend's housewarming party.My friend Jenny is a great cook,so there is gonna be alot of food around.I'll have to watch myself closely so that I dont over eat.I'm gonna bring some diet pop with me.Carbonated drinks fill me up fast,so in case of emergency,I'll open up my pop and drink.On Sunday I am working at the retail store.Another day,another dollar.

Vermont mom:I know how you feel.Its hard to confide in people who never had depression.I've had friends who didn't understand why I was sad for a long time.Its not a snap out of it type of thing.I was ashamed of my mental illness for a long time.When I quit high school I said to my friends that I had mono.When I had to stay at the hospital for a couple of weeks...I told them I was in Quebec visiting my aunt.When I was working,a co-worker didn't belive that depression existed.She said that it was an excuse for people to use when they can't deal with their problems.Oh yeah sure,like I wanted to stay in the psychiatric ward because I liked to fake my little problem.There is only one of my friends that I can talk about my depression with.He had it too so he knows whats it all about.The other friends I dont talk about it because its hard for them to understand.

we all have something in common here: weight issues and depression
We can share our stories and support eatchother

Have a good weekend chickies

Afternoon Ladies!

Just a quick pop in to say Hi We have to go into work an hour early today I'll be so happy once tonight is over with!

I woke up feeling really nausious Dunno what that is about, I'm hoping its not the nasty flu bug going around at work!

Also we have found out that my fil is very sick. Won't go into details, but its definately not good at all. Put it this way, even my husband cried and he never cries.

Well I guess I will go now. Have to stop by the pharmacy and pick up a prescription and drop one off. lol.

Have a Great Rest of the Day!
