Weekly Chat - October 1st-7th
 
Morning all! :wave: Well, look at me, starting the new chat, not only for the week, but for October!

October is my favourite month of the year - the leaves change and fall (and who COULDN'T feel wonderful kicking through the autumn leaves??) and the air is crisper and just - fresher, somehow :)

Things are a bit better here for me; I always worry that it won't last, so I am trying to put that worry aside and focus on what IS working, and why... and how I can put what's working into other areas of my life. :yes:

On the weight loss front, it has been an odd month. I have only lost 3 pounds in as many weeks, which is a big slow down for me, but at least I am not gaining! :lol: The past eight days have seen me stalled entirely, despite eating on plan and exercising (though not exercising as much as I was, which may be part of this issue) - it's ToM now, so I am hoping to drop after that finishes.

I am thinking of you all -and here is my thought for the new week and the new month: TODAY, do something for yourself that you REALLY enjoy. Whether it takes two minutes, or two hours - just do it :)

Have a great day!

Heather :D

Hi ladies,

Quick check in tonight! I love fall weather too. I just hope the temps stay cool. I can't take this 100 degree weather we've had this summer any longer.

My friend will be leaving tomorrow. We've done some shopping for work clothes and fixed my resume so I can post for a job tomorrow. I guess I'll get a shock if they don't contact me, but I'll just have to come up with a plan B.
Sorry again to be so MIA but I think my meds are bringing me back to life and getting over my cold didn't hurt. Thinking of you all...:hug:

whitelion30 10-02-2007 06:55 PM

Happy Fall Everyone!!
 
Yes, I love fall most of all! Part of what I like is that change and contrast in weather! I had a counsling session today and I have to say that is helped me up that little bit of hill I was still climbing up. When I am down I have a really hard time controling what and how much I eat. Maybe I can get back on track again now. ;)

I hope all of you have a great month and a successful one as well! Talk to you soon.

:haphal:

Shy Moment 10-02-2007 07:14 PM

Whitelion
I understand about the down days and the eating. For me I don't eat at all or I want to eat everything, generally don't eat at all and that can be a problem too. The tummy thinks the throat was slit and it isn't going to get anymore food. What food it does get it stores and turns to fat. Or at least that is how it was explained to me. I know I can tell, when I eat more I lose weight. I don't eat enough I gain weight.

Hope4me
Sure hope you are feeling better. Has been a tough last few weeks of summer for a great many people. Everyone seems to have caught that bronchial virus that was going around.

Heatherangel
3lbs 3 weeks. That is my lose rate. 19 weeks 22lbs lost. Generally it is 1lb at a time each week. Hey I am happy. 1lb down is 1lb I don't still have to lose.

HeatherAngel 10-03-2007 09:01 AM

Morning! :wave:

Finally back into the groove of running - I think! Knock on wood... did 3.25 miles yesterday, pretty comfortably, so this is good.

And, unsurprisingly, the scale has finally moved - yay! :cheer: I knew it would if I just kept plodding along :lol3:

Nice, crisp day here today, so lots of errands for me, and then I shall walk the dog tonight before dinner, and make a real effort to do my weights.

Hope everyone is well!!

Heather :D

brandnewme 10-03-2007 11:38 PM

Hi ladies! Sorry it's been a while. A lot has gone on in a relatively short period of time. I found out that my old doc didn't test my thyroid function the last time I'd asked for it to be tested. Instead I was told that everything was fine, nothing needed to be changed, etc. Last week when I got my health fair lab results back, they showed the exact opposite. My thyroid is worse than it ever has been, and it makes me angry that I've been struggling with so many things due to negligence. It helps to know that there will be a point where it gets better, but I'm still very angry and upset.

DH has been seeing a counselor for a couple weeks. I'm hoping eventually we will have a break-through, but I am not holding my breath. I don't know that we'll make it, but at least I can say I gave it all that I had.

I hope everyone is doing well, and your week has been good. Take care!

HeatherAngel 10-04-2007 10:23 AM

Hola chicas! :D

Brandnewme - I hear you. And I applaud your efforts. Too many people give up on relationships... I'm with you. I want to be able to say: "I am sad this didn't last, but my goodness, I KNOW I gave it all I possibly could." And right now, for me, that means working on myself.

Hope - any news on the job front? It's terribly frustrating and discouraging, isn't it? :( I've been interviewing, and not getting anything, which is a new (and nasty!) experience for me... the feedback is always the same: 'Oh no, we were very impressed and you interviewed very well - thank you for your interest' - which isn't really feedback at all :( Let us know how it's going. Thinking of you - :hug:

Whitelion, just keep pluggin' and ploddin' away... you CAN do this - and we're all here to support you!!

Shy - I've been upping my calories this week to move that scale... it's hard to get the brain around that idea isn't it? I don't know how old you are, but I grew up in the 'eat as little as possible to lose massive amounts of weight - FAST!' era - YIKES! :eek: And you are ABSOLUTELY right... a pound is a pound, and his friends can just bugger off and join him any day now! :lol3: Keep at it, girl!

Where's our Leenie?? Miss you - :hug:

Have a great day all - remember, sometimes it's hard to remember to choose, but choosing to be happy is ALWAYS better than choosing NOT to be. :grouphug:

Heather :D

cathyxxx 10-04-2007 10:53 AM

hey gang :wave:

I'm having a tooth pulled this afternoon that has been abscessed for over a week. I'll be glad to get the dang thing out of my mouth. I've been on antibotics and pain pills for 4 days!

Honestly, it's been a rough week. My mom found out yesterday that she has lung cancer. She will be 71 tomorrow. She will be seeing a specialist in Houston, TX to decide what to do. I would really appreciate your prayers for her.

I was really proud of myself bec I had exercised every day last week, but then this tooth started aching and messed me up - have you noticed that "life happens" and gets in the way of our best laid plans ;-) oh well - tis life!

Sorry I'm a downer with all my news today, but I would really appreciate your prayers for my mother!

hugs & blessings,
Cathy

HeatherAngel 10-04-2007 10:58 AM

Oh Cathy :hug: thinking of you. Good luck with the tooth, and may your mother find strength and peace.

Heather

hope4me 10-04-2007 02:09 PM

Hi girls,

It still is a struggle to post this week for some reason. I just feel too tired to think of anything to say. I am lurking though.

Cathy: We will definitely be keeping your mom in our prayers... and you too.

I did post for a job on Tuesday and they haven't contacted me yet. I'm kind of worried b/c last time in March they emailed me the next day. When you get hired into this particular place, most of the time they have to train you and wait for you to get a particular license that I already have, that's why I thought that they would jump on the chance to at least interview somebody who has it already. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

The eating is still out of control. I'm sure that is most of the reason for my fatigue. I also had been off my thyroid meds for about a week and a half. That should be leveling off soon. Brandnew: I can totally relate. Sorry your Dr was so slack. No wonder you aren't feeling well. I hope you can get it under control soon.

Heather: You are almost out of the 200's. :carrot: I'm so happy for you! You have worked so hard and been so diligent. I hope everything else works itself out for the better, and soon.

Hugs to everybody!! :hug:

buddly 10-05-2007 01:55 AM

Just popping in to say Hi everyone:wave:

Cathy :hug: Good thoughts and prayers to you and your mom.

Well nothing new here, same ol' same ol'
Been picking up stuff for Thanksgiving dinner, I think I'll be cooking the turkey on Saturday instead of the Monday. This way we can eat turkey buns all weekend and get rid of some of the "turkey toots" before Tuesday :lol: Besides that, the turkey is thawed and I don't want it sitting to much longer.

Finally some good news for C at school. The counsellor got the new school psycologist to look at C's test scores again and they are finally going to retest and see about a proper diagnonsis (she has dyslexia and we need a "diagonsis" so we have adaptations for her provincial exams) The poor kid has been so upset as she is getting only 30% in english right now and figures she may have to quit judo. I told her not to worry about it as its just the first novel study and only the first month. We now know somethings we have to do differently to help her.

No snow here yet, hubby woke up to snow at Hudson Hope this morning tho. They are calling for -6*C for tonight hopfully thats it.

Anyway, my back is killing me so I should head off to bed.

Take care all and I hope you all get feeling better :grouphug:

:wave: everybody! :)

HeatherAngel 10-05-2007 09:48 AM

Morning all -

Nice to see you, sassy girl! :hug:

Buddly - that sound like good news, overall... but 30% in English?? Don't take all that on yourself!!! As an English teacher, I am telling you right now that the teacher HAS to be taking SOME responsibility for that low grade, even this early in the year! Grrrr... I HATE when teachers pass the buck. (note: I also hate it when parents KNOW there is a problem and do nothing, expecting the school to do everything... education is a three-way partnership if it is to be successful, between child, parent and teacher. End of story.) It's her/his responsibility to provide an IEP (Individual Education Plan) for your child, with clear guidelines about what she can be doing to improve. If she (or the Head of Dep't) hasn't done this - I honestly would suggest speaking to the principal.

Leaving your daughter floundering at 30% grades is despicable. :nono:

Cathy, how are you feeling without that tooth? Hope it has given you some relief.

Hope - thanks for the kind words - I AM working hard, as you know! :lol: Coming off any meds is such a screwy situation for the system - hope you feel better VERY SOON!)

Nothing of news here today, folks - just getting ready to finish some errands and wind-down for the weekend. :) Have a GREAT day!

Heather :D

buddly 10-05-2007 02:31 PM

Good morning all :wave:
Nothing new here. Did get out for a walk this am. And boy am I glad its Friday. Just planning on doing some tidying up and baking some pumpkin pies.

Heather, thanks for the input. Believe me when I tell you that we have been fighting and fighting to get her the help she needs. And it's so frustrating. I go in and everyone agrees with me but nothing happens. The psycologist last year said her numbers weren't low enough to apply for provincial adaptations for the provincial exams as she came in average for basic math skills and part of her reading. Yet on another area of the reading test she got a score of 1%!! I hate that they always pay me lip service and nothing comes of it. The kid works her tail off and just needs a bit of a hand up. (I'm trying to get her a reader and a scribe for the provincial exams, it helped last year in her school exams) Also we are getting her novels on tape, so she can listen and follow along in the book. That is a big part of her failure for this novel "The Chrysalids" I had a brain fart and didn't even think of getting it on tape for her. I've already picked up "To Kill A Mockingbird" on tape so this section should go better.

Hey sassy, good to "see" you!

Well I'm off.

Take care everyone and have a great weekend!!

Sassy_Chick 10-05-2007 07:03 PM

Hi Ladies.

Hello to everybody. :wave: I hope you are doing well. :)

Well guess what? Our new glasses are IN! :D I am SO glad! No more "Sally's"!!! :D Besides that I have had a headache for about a week now and I think it is due to wearing these old glasses.

Oh and news on my DH's job that he applied for in Indiana? (he just told me) The superintendent changed his mind and wants someone with a teaching degree now. :cry: (DH does not have a teaching degree, his degrees are in computers) DH is sooooo disappointed and so am I. :cry: It was something he truly wanted and I feel awful that they did this! :mad: Its totally unfair!!! Why not have that requirement to begin with!!! I guess that is life though. I should have known better than to get my hopes up. :cry:

Its just really hard because my DH has worked SO HARD and he really wanted this. I know there will be other job opportunities, I know that, but its just like a smack in the face to me. Oh well at least my Uncle tried and for that I am appreciative. So I Guess the in-laws have nothing to worry about now, we'll probably be here until we die. :(

Sorry to be such a negative and depressive person, but I just can't help it right now. Oh yeah and my mom told me that my grandpa will be losing his other leg, its full of infection.....I guess when it rain it pours. :cry:

I'm going to go now I'm sure I'm a real delight to have around........lol

:hug:

Leenie 10-06-2007 07:01 AM

Good Saturday Morning :hug:

What an insane week.....actually, all weeks are insane LOLOL (gotta laugh or I'll cry ;) ). Its going to be 85 degrees here today....imagine that. I have to clean, run to the bank, get to the grocery store, etc... so much for resting today LOL.

Whats shaking with you girlies this weekend?


Heather thanks so much for starting this weeks thread, some times I just can't make it in here during the week. My stars woman, look how much weight you are losing. Your doing fantastic and you must feel so good. Pretty soon you'll be in onderland YEAH!!!! I love the fall too...its just what comes after the fall I don't like LOL (((snow ick)))

Cathy love, I"m so sorry to hear about your Mom :hug: you know you can count on our prayers. What are they doing for her at this point? And how are you missy? hows your tooth?

Hope, good to see you. You sound like you had a good time with your friend and kudo's to you for getting back on track. Good luck with the job hunting...I know it can be overwhelming and scary but it can be so rewarding at the same time. Keeping a light heart will help...just remember if its meant to be it will happen.

Whitelion its good to see you here :welcome:

Shy.... good to see your back :hug:

Brandnewme, that stinks about what your doc did to you, but I'm really happy that you now can get the proper meds/help that you need. There is no excuse for what he did....... you know...no matter what doctors say, we should always stick with our gut feeling, I mean who knows our bodies better than us. I guess thats why they call doctors "Practicing" physicians huh...it just sucks that they have to "practice" on us.

Buddly a thanksgiving dinner sounds wonderful (especially after a week of eating crackers & peanutbutter for dinner lol). I'm glad your DD is finally getting the help she needs. School are insane, my sister had such an ordeal with trying to get her one daughter help, at one point the teachers made my sister feel like a criminal...sad very sad.....it almost makes you feel like all the schools want is PERFECT (what ever that is) students so that they get the money from the government and as much as they say they will help kids with problems....they really don't want to deal with it. :no: its a shame.

Sassy...good to see ya love and with new spec's to boot...bet your looking HOT. I'm sorry to hear about DH and the position he wanted. I know its hard but you do realize that him not getting this is going to lead him down a different path in his career....something good is waiting for him, but we need to be patient because things happen in God's time, not ours. Its not a slap in the face....its just part of life and its lessons :hug: but I do understand how you feel...its heart breaking no matter what. I'm so sorry to hear about your Grandfather, my gosh that is aweful. My MIL lost her leg a few years ago due to a staff infection from the hospital she was in, its just so uncalled for. I will pray for you, your dh, your mom and your grandpa. Hang in there sweetie :hug: oh and don't be sorry for posting your feelings....thats what we are here for.. support.

Sassy_Chick 10-06-2007 09:35 AM

Morning Ladies
 
Morning. :coffee:

I tried to sleep but can't. :tired: So figured may as well get up. At least I'm off tonight so no biggie if I don't get a lot of sleep. ;)

Leenie -- Thanks. :hug: I know that its not the end of the world, it was just at the time, it seemed like it as it was like getting all the bad news at once, kinda hard to deal with when you get it at the same time. Now that I've had time to think and calm down, I know it will be fine. As you said, our lives will just take a different path and that is okay. I also thought about it and I wouldn't want DH working for that Superintendent if he's that fickle! So maybe it was a blessing that he didn't get the job.

My Grandpa already lost one leg and now he will most likely lose the other. He didn't let losing is leg get him down though, he is very spirited I guess you would say so I'm sure he'll get through this just fine too. ;) Guess I should take some of his spunk and use it for myself, but I've always been a worrier. Can't help it, that is just me. :crazy:

I'm just thankful that DH & I have jobs, we have a roof over our head, and good friends. :) I know some people have a lot less.

I hope everybody is doing well. I'm sorry I haven't done Individuals.........forgive me. :^:

Have a Great Weekend!

:hug:

HeatherAngel 10-06-2007 10:36 AM

Morning all! :wave:

Sassy, geez, it never rains but it pours, right? :hug:

I had dinner out last night, and while I was as sensible as I could be, it is the very first day in seven months that I was utterly unable to count calories... it's a bizarre feeling - I feel sort of 'unfinished' from yesterday :lol: With no surprise, I am up a pound, but a couple sensible days and lots of water should take care of that!! :yes: The strangest thing about meals out now is how full I feel, and learning to leave food on my plate - that's HARD for me! :lol3:

Everyone have a great day and I'll check in tomorrow!

Heather :D

buddly 10-06-2007 03:49 PM

Hi everyone!:wave:

Boy was it nice to sleep in this morning! Turkey's in the oven and hubby is clearing off the table, well at least he is trying to. We stopped at the video store last night and stocked up, so as you can tell its going to be a nice quiet weekend at home with just us. Well thats the plan anyway ;)

Sassy congrats on the new glasses! Even tho I thought you were awfully cute in your "Sally" glasses. But getting headaches is no fun. I am so sorry about the job. I'm sure something better will come along. Sorry to hear about your grandfather.:hug: My great uncle lost both his legs (at seperate times) due to diabetes and he was still able to ride his motorcycle (got a side car for balance) and do almost everything he wanted.

Heather, glad you enjoyed your night out. I love your positive attitude and you are doing so great.

Leenie, take care of yourself. 85 degrees sounds so nice. It poured rain here last night (took the dog three tries to brave going outside last night :lol3:) at least there isn't any frost this morning.

A big Hello :wave: to everyone else!!!

Well I should toodle, I just wanted to pop in and wish everyone a great weekend.

Take care all,
K

Stepping Out 10-06-2007 05:55 PM

Hello Ladies
 
Not much is going on here, but there seems to be a lot going on with all of you.

Cathy: How are you doing? I've had abcessed teeth before..ouch :( I'm sorry to hear about your mom. You mentioned Houston..I know that MD Anderson Cancer Center has clinical trials and research going on all the time. I know she'll get good treatment. I'll be praying for both of you!

Sassy: I'm sorry about the disappointment with the job for DH. You're right to think positive..you never know when another opportunity will come up which may be better for both of you. Your Grandpa's attitude is wonderful..my prayers to you both.

Heather: I'm glad you're doing so well..your weight loss is amazing! :hug:

Brand new me: :p to that doctor! I'm glad that the people at the health fair gave you the tests that you needed. Time to find another health care provider! I'm glad your DH is seeking counseling. :)

Buddly: :hug: I had to go through the same fight here in the States to get help for my son. He was also diagnosed with dyslexsia. Audio books sound like a great idea for your daughter. Even though my son had trouble 'decoding' words, his understanding and retention were excellent! He just had a different style of learning. :book2:

Leenie: Welcome back! I'm sorry your week has been so hectic. It's 85F up there? It's only 80 F here in the rainy South ;)

Tomorrow we'll be going to visit our son. This should be our last visit, since he'll be home Dec. 3 :D. We'll go to our evening service at church, then head home to watch the SOX beat up on the Angels. ;) (I love baseball :D)

Happy Thanksgiving to all of our Canadian friends! :thanks1: (Where are you Liz?)

cathyxxx 10-06-2007 07:30 PM

hey gang
i just wanted to pop in and see how everyone is doing, and now that i've read thru the posts i just feel too overwhelmed to try to address them all - i'm sorry.

the spot is healing where the tooth was pulled. it is very sensitive. today i ate a baked potato bec i was just starving. i've only been drinking protein shakes for a week. i can't use a straw for several days so ..... oh anyway.... it's getting better.

mom is seeing a pulmonogist specialistn at The Methodist Hospital in Houston on Tuesday. she is leaning towards doing nothing bec she just doesn't feel that she would survive a surgery and there is no hope of her quitting smoking. guess it all depends on what the doc says on Tuesday. please keep her in your prayers!

Joanne - funny you mention M.D. Anderson. I was there a lot as a teenager, as my dad had a tumor behind his eyes that they removed and then he had to have treatments. that place is really something. he received miraclous treatment there. Houston is really something - the medical knowledge and care there is second to none really.

Joanne - I know you will be glad to see your son tomorrow! (hugs)

thank y'all so VERY MUCH for the prayers! I REALLY appeciate it
hugs & blessings,
cathy

Sassy_Chick 10-06-2007 09:44 PM

When You Girls are Right, you are RIGHT!!!
 
HI GIRLS! :D

Yes that is me with a SMILE on my face! When you ladies are right, you are RIGHT! All of you saying that the job in Indiana, just wasn't meant to be and that maybe something else would come along? Well it did!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

DH just called me, I was sleeping as I didn't sleep really well, but anywho, on his way into work he got a phone call, from his old boss from our college!!! When we were finishing up our degrees there, Our Dept. Chair got DH a work-study position at our college, at that time, we had just moved back from NY and DH was jobless so he took the job so we'd have some income at least. Well they tried to get DH on full-time, but at that time we had a witch of a Dean who insisted on all teachers having Bachelors Degrees, DH has two associates + loads of on-the-job experience, but the Dean at that time did not care, she wanted the Bachelors Degree, well soon after that DH got his current job he is at now, so we never pursued it anymore.

Well now our college is totally changed, for the better. It is under different management and has been completely remodeled and yes a different Dean! So now they count on-the-job experience as equilivent to a Bachelors, along with his two associates! Its just like when they give celebrities "honory degrees" as their work experience has equaled the degree or even more, same thing here. I guess DH's old boss has been trying to find DH's # for over a year now and finally found it! What timing, eh????!!!! lol. I swear if I see that man I am going to hug him! lmao!

So DH thought that he could start this part-time to see how it goes and it would bring in extra income for us that we can stash away for our down payment for a house!!! :woohoo:

Then of course if all goes well, he could go to teaching full-time! He just wants to be sure before leaving his current job, which I understand. Schools, even Colleges are not known for their stability at times! Case in point the job that he was just turned down for. Seems like they change their minds every other second! lol.

But at least DH would be doing what he wants to do -- Teaching and not sure if part-time employees have this benefit, but I know full time ones do, if he is working there, we can go to school there for FREE! Since they have totally remodeled and changed, they have A LOT more to offer now, so if I can go for free, I may go for a 3rd Degree or a Bachelors! :D

Anywho, I just wanted to say THANKS to everybody here, when you all are right, you are RIGHT! I'm so glad that I found this site and have made such great friends! I know I haven't been as successful as some on the weightloss journey, but like you all said, weightloss isn't all about losing the weight, its also the support you need along the journey as well.

I also wanted to add: My Grandfather has the best attitude for life. He is simply amazing, after everything he has been through, losing my Grandma, his house, and his leg and now his other one, he still keeps that wonderful spirit that he has! Infact at Valentines Day last year he was King of the nursing home, EVERYBODY there voted for him!! It was a little thing they had for the residents there. Everybody at the nursing home adore him, including all the staff. The nurses there do so much for him and its all because they love him so much! :love: It makes me feel so good that he is in in a place like that and that places like that DO exist! After my Grandma died, he was very very down of course, but as soon as our family put him into this nursing home, he has flourished! He loves all the people there and is close to all our family who can visit anytime they want. ;)

He truly is an inspiration on how to live your life. Take the obstacles in your life and run with them, do not sit and "Stew", but LIVE! Infact my DH says that he hopes he is just like my Grandpa when he is old. That to me is the biggest compliment anybody could ever give anybody!


So anywho, just wanted to share that for my "Inspiration" for the night. ;)

BIG BIG :hug: to you all!!!

Leenie 10-07-2007 07:53 AM

Good Morning :D

Sassy :hug: I'm so happy your dh will have the opportunity to teach part time WHOOOOOOT !!!! and I so agree that lifes experience can be worth so much MORE than a degree. About the weight issue.... I lose gain lose gain lose gain....so don't be embarassed....the best we can do is keep trying. Geeze your G'pa sounds like an awesome person, God bless him.

Joanne enjoy your visit today with Matt and your baseball game LOL. How are you feeling my dear...how are the feet?

Cathy you know you and your family are in my prayers, always. I'm glad Mom is getting good care. My Dad also smoked and had lung cancer.... I just wish people didn't smoke :( anyway...... I'm glad your feeling better and you have yourself a lovely Sunday (Sonday ;) ). :hug:

Buddly did you enjoy your Thanksgiving? or is it today? All that talk of cooking a turkey really makes me want to make a big dinner with all the trimmings.......hey got room at your table for me ? and maybe 2 others LOLOL jk jk ;)

Heather I bet that 1 lb gain was from the food you ate...and I don't mean calories, I bet its from the salt. For some reason when you go out places LOVE to load their food with tons of salt....I bet in a day or so you'll be back to your fighting weight.

Well Girlies....me want breakfast and coffeeeeeeeeeee :coffee: so I'll catch you later.

:hug:
.

HeatherAngel 10-07-2007 09:02 AM

Morning! :)

Buddly, enjoy your Thanksgiving - I'm spending mine avoiding turkey! :lol3:

Joanne - have a super day with your son, and enjoy the game!

Cathy - glad that tooth is healing, even if it is slow :( I'm thinking of you and your mom. :hug:

Sassy - wow! What awesome news!! Keeping all my fingers and toes crossed that it all works out for you both!!

Leenie - I'm off to refill my own coffee cup :lol: and yes, today I am back down the best part of a pound ;)

Chat to you all soon - no plans here for tomorrow's holiday, but you never know what might come up :D

Heather :D

sandybar 10-07-2007 12:14 PM

My name is Sandy. I usually post on the 300+ forum, well, I'm back after just not doing anything all summer, except of course gaining over the summer. I have depression and am having a horrible time getting it under control again. I'd done great for 5-6 years til last January. It took about 2 months to get the meds adjusted. I was good til I had surgery in May, another in July and then lost my mom in August. We weren't close, but it's been extremely difficult. So, I've had a terrible time with derpession. Do all of you suffer from depression? Is there where I can come when I know what I should do dieting wise when I just don't care about anything? If it is, I'd be happy if I could join your group.

Hi Sandy and welcome to this little corner of 3FC's. Of course you can join us, we'd love to get to know you. I'm so sorry to hear about your Mom :hug: and the surgeries. The beauty of 3FC's is you can post anywhere you like, any time you like :welcome:

Hi Ladies.
 
Hi All.

Thanks for all the congrats. :)

On another note, DH just told me that the flu is going around work like wild fire. He has had 9 call offs so far and its only 7:39 PM (EST) :yikes: His co-worker went home sick and puked in his car on his way home. DH said he has puked once at work too. Its terrible and if I get it, I cannot call off. I was sick last month. I guess I need to get me some Vit. C.

Hello and :welcome3: Sandy. I hear you. I have depression and am on Meds and somedays are worse than others. These fine ladies here are truly wonderful, so you have come to the right place. Big Big :hug: for the loss of your mom.

Leenie you crack me up. :lol: Growing roots into your chair. :lol: I'll have to remember that one! lol.

I hope you all are doing well and have a Great Week. I'm going to try to not get sick -- at least while I'm working. If I get it when I'm off, then so be it, but I have to stay healthy while I'm working......**HEALTHY VIBES**

:hug:

Welcome Sandy!! I'm struggling today with not caring much about anything as well. I feel so exhausted and like I don't know what to do with myself. You are in good company (or should I say similar company?) here.

Hi everybody!

Thanks so much for the warm welcome. I'm actually off today. I was up til 3 am. Couldn't sleep at all, and feel really dreadful emotionally. I called the dr to fax a note to work, and asked about going back to my prozac. I'm waiting to hear back. I imagine they'll call during the lunch hour.
Hope all of you are feeling ok today. I might go sit in the sunshine in a little whiile to see if that helps.
:hug:
