Depression and Weight IssuesHave you been diagnosed with depression, are possibly on depression medication, and find it affects your weight loss efforts? Post here for support!
Heather you go girl, running two miles YOWZERS thats teriffic. I can't even run down a flight of stairs LOL.
Nothing new, sosdd. Just trying to get most of the things I need for next week's thanksgiving dinner. I really hate going to the store at the last minute and putting up with the mobs of people.
Tonight is Karate, and then bible study, so its gonna be a looong day. Won't be home until 9 pm LOL
I know I've been MIA on the weekend, but DH was sick all weekend and stayed home from work. So you can imagine........lol. I was actually glad to get to work yesterday (Monday) evening. It was a "relief" I love my DH, but you know how men are when they are sick.........lol
Boy what crazy weather we're having. It was 66 yesterday when I left for work and in our apt it was like 75, opened up the windows ........This is November, right? lol.
So I am caught up on all my work and figured I'd pop in.
I was kinda bummed all weekend. I think it was just because Saturday, the 10th would have been my step father's bday and yesterday, Monday, the 12th would have been my Grandmother's Bday. So was just kinda bummed a bit, but I'm ok now. I know they wouldn't want me all bummed out but sometimes I just can't help it......I miss them.........
Sassy girl it is a depressing time of year, I agree. Hope your DH is feeling better.
Nothing much is happening cept the wacky weather Sassy described. Yesterday it was bone cold, raw, today its warming up to 65... OY.
TOM is here and I'm so achy tired, but I will get thru this like the bazillion times before LOL.
Nothing new here either. We had a storm blow through over the weekend, brought rain and wind. Its frozen out there now, but suppose to warm up again, its crazy!! Leenie, I find the snow gets a little claustraphobic after awhile as you can only walk in the paths when it piles up. Other than that its the dark and the ice that get to me. A has to go to school today to type up a project thats due tomorrow. So while she is doing that I'll be going to Costco.
Well I should go and get a little housework done before we leave.
We have our windows open now and I wish we didn't have too. Some kids are screaming their heads off and I can't even see them, which means they are either inside or in a building across the way, either way, geez........lol
Oh well soon enough I will be leaving for work -- yippee! lol. Today is one of those days you just wanna curl up in bed and watch a movie............well maybe this weekend...........lol.
Hi Leenie -- Yeah well I know its that time of year too, but I think it was just because of it being my step dad and grandma's bday and they have passed so I was missing them was all.
Morning ladies... Just a quick hello - I am still alive - - I am slooooowly getting myself back on track - oh my goodness it is HARD once you fall off plan!!
Hello ladies! I'm not really a newbie. I used to log onto 3fatchicks every day about two years ago, but then I had a lot going on and dropped off. Now I'm back and would like to join your little group here. I've suffered from depression my entire life, at least as long as I can remember anyway. And with that, I've also had my share of weight issues. I'm currently taking Cymbalta and am about 30 lbs overweight. I used to be mostly a binge eater (not a purger though). But now I just eat a lot all the time. I feel I need to upgrade my medication, but I really want to get back into exercising and eating better. I feel better emotionally when I do. It's just a really hard struggle. I would much rather just veg on the couch with a blanket and my cat than work out.
Anyway, if you don't mind me barging in on your chat group, I'd like to join in. I could sure use the support, and I'm a good supporter, too.
Hello again. I hope you all are having a great day. I'm in Northern Idaho, and it's chilly, windy, and rainy here today. I wish I was at home and not at work. This is a perfect day to just watch movies. They're usually somewhat lame, but I do like to watch Lifetime TV movies (just for women). But then my husband is home with a cold, so I'd probably end up watching hunting videos. They are good to sleep to though. The speaker is usually speaking really softly, and then there's nature sounds all around.
Congratulations Heather on the weight loss so far. It looks like you've been working hard. I fell off the wagon a while back. Then the wagon backed up and ran over me, and then went to go forward again, and ran me down a second time. I'm trying to get back on now, but the dang thing won't slow down. I'm currently like one of those stunt men that are hanging on to the back of the wagon as they're being dragged along behind it. I'm not letting go, but I'm not exactly on top of it either. I'll get there though.
Do any of you watch the Biggest Loser? I try to get inspiration from them. I could handle going to a ranch like that for a few weeks. However, my problem isn't that I don't know what I should and shouldn't eat, or that I should exercise. I just eat too many cookies and such. I just need to work on my mindset of thinking things like, "I've had a bad day. I deserve these 2 (or 3 or 4 or 5...) cookies." Or, "I'll have this cookie, and start over again tomorrow." The thing is, if I can go for an entire week without eating anything I shouldn't, then I'm fine. The cravings stop, and my willpower strengthens. But if I have one bite of something bad, then it's all over and I have to start over again. That's where I am now. It's just day-by-day, I guess. The upcoming holidays won't help though.
Don't worry. I'm not usually this chatty. I'm just sort of venting, and getting to know you and letting you know me. Thanks for listening.
I woke up at 11:30 A.M. just could not go back to sleep. At least its my night off so I don't have to worry about staying awake all night at work! lol.
Leenie -- Hi ya. I'm okay, kinda bummed though. We just looked at our budget and Christmas is going to be pretty much non-existent. Luckily DH & I already gave each other our presents, that is kinda why we are broke.......but its worth it, we worked hard and saved for it. But we did get my mom and MIL nice candles from Yankee Candles. Just feel stupid giving them a candle for Christmas and that is it......But I know Christmas isn't about the gifts.........So the next month or two are going to be a bit tough on us, financially. We'll get through it......we've been through a lot worse, just have to get through this rough spot. I haven't been feeling the greatest, think I got a touch of whatever DH had last week......Yippee...........lol. Oh well at least I'm off so I can just relax and take it easy. Hope you are well!
Idaho -- back to 3FC and to our thread here.
I hope you all have a great day.
Hey Chicks.
Well I got some sleep. I slept a little bit after DH left for work and got up at 9 p.m. I feel lots better, but kept having dreams and not pleasant ones.
It is a whopping 38 degrees here........I still have the heat on, but I haven't heard it kick on............hmmmmm. I hope its not broken! lol.
Have a Great Night.

Reason: Update......
Had a busy morning and just walked back in the door.
Hope, welcome home good to see ya little one.
Idaho, I've seen TBL a few times (maybe 2) and I can see why folks would get inspiration from it. A friend of mine sent an application in to the show but she never got picked. I could only imagine how many people would want to be on that show. Your not chatting to much....shoot we could use some more chatting here, couldn't we girls
Sassy, I've been thru many a Christmas where I would not buy for DH or vice verse but we would buy for others OR we just wouldn't buy anything at all, and ya know, its nice not to go crazy for the holiday and to remember its meaning.... Family is the best thing about Christmas and what a wonderful gift that is. I'm sure your mom is happy just to have you.
Well kiddo's, I'm out the door again.
Heather
Cathy !! if your home and reading this, just know that we are still praying for your mom and hopefully she will be home very soon.

Hi Leenie, I have too. DH & I are already taken care of and even if we weren't, we have been through it before and gifts don't matter to either one of us. I know Christmas is not about gifts, etc. But still bums me out a little. But I talked to DH and I think we are going to have Christmas Dinner here. Even if it may be a bit cramped, its the being together that counts the most. I don't know if my in-laws will come if we have it here or not, but my mom will be here, if she gets off and if the weather isn't bad............
Now I just have to get through Thanksgiving at the inlaws this year..... My mil I think is completely forgetting what Thanksgiving is all about, but its only one day, right? Just have to get through one day............That is what I keep telling myself anyways. lol.
Weekly Chat - November 12th - 18th
........This is November, right? lol. 
I think it was just because Saturday, the 10th would have been my step father's bday and yesterday, Monday, the 12th would have been my Grandmother's Bday. So was just kinda bummed a bit, but I'm ok now. I know they wouldn't want me all bummed out but sometimes I just can't help it......I miss them.........
