Hello MorningJoy. Nice to meet you. Venting is no problem. We can all understand what you're going through? Have you tried Cymbalta? I've used several different antidepressents, and I've by far had the best results with this one.
I definitely know what you mean about the binge eating. I'm a major stress eater, and when I get really stressed and depressed, I go for the pastries. Those sweet carbs are so nice, and they make me feel good for a while. And any comfort is better than none when I'm depressed. Chocolate works, too. I've never met a pie or an M&M I didn't like. Please keep checking in. We're here to help and offer what support we can. |
Hi girls,
Well, I had my interview and it went well, but I didn't get the job. I pressed the phone interviewer as to why in hopes for some pointers and she assured me that it wasn't me, but they had had others apply with more experience in this particular role. I may still hear within a week or 2 about the other position that they thought would be available around the first of the year. I'm telling myself that maybe I'm just meant to wait for that one. The question is what do I do while I wait: nothing or look for a retail job or something. I hate to do that and then quit within a week or two. Even worse, what if I got stuck there for a long time? Shoot me! Hi morning: Don't worry about venting. They haven't kicked me out yet for that. I hope the new meds work. I'm also back at my highest weight even though I haven't bothered to change my ticker. I want to get a grip on it, but I haven't been able to. What's up with the rest of y'all. Did you have a better day than I did? |
Hi Girlies........... I can't stay but please know I am thinking about you all.
Have a lovely Friday :hug: . |
Morning - Hope, rotten luck, but you know how I think: these things are for a reason, and something better is around the next corner (or at least the corner AFTER the next corner... heck, just keep turning corners! :lol3:)...
No news here -busy day, so off to it - have a wonderful happy Friday, everyone! :grouphug: Heather :D |

My brother had a bone marrow transplant for a very agressive form of Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and he's still doing great almost 14years later! :) I pray that your DH will have the same excellent result :) Hope: Sorry you didn't get that job. :( You might try a seasonal job in the meantime. It would be enough to get you to the first of the year, and better opportunities for something permanent. :hug: Bigbird: I'm a major stress eater as well. Dang, those carbs have a way of making you feel better..until you step on the scale! :goodscale: Buddly: Do you have much snow? Your drink sounds interesting. I like both spinach and bananas..but together..in a drink? :dizzy: I hope it helps you! :D Heather: I'm a 'backyard birder' too! :) I just enjoy watching all the different birds that come through here. Leenie: TGIF! ;) |
Hi everyone :wave:
judomom :hug: you are in my thoughts and prayers. bigbird I hope you feel better soon and they find out whats causing the problem. Hope, I'm sorry you didn't get the job, but I'm sure something better will come along. You should try for the seasonal it would keep you busy, but has an end point. And then there isn't any long term commitment. Morningjoy, I hope you are feeling better :hug: keep venting, we are all in this together! Hi Cathy, Joanne, Leenie, Heather, sassy and everyone else:wave: Well not to much new around here. We have about 8 inches of snow around, so there is a fair amount. Its -12*C (10*F) and its suppose to go down to -20*C (-4*F) tonight with a windchill of -28*C (-18*F) Its a bit of shock to the system, I just want to hole up at home. Oh and Cathy we put the LED christmas lights along our driveway. With it pitch dark by 5pm I need something to "guide" me out. I found that drink recipe in a magazine as a "detox" I don't know how much detoxing it does, but my medical book says to lower blood pressure eat potassium rich foods like bananas and eat celery as it has a property in it that helps relax artery walls. Its actually not that bad to drink, I thought it would be quite vile, but it isn't that bad, it just looks terrible. Its just a half a cup of raw spinach, 1 banana, 1 stalk celery, a few slices of cucumber and a cup of water all blended. Then I stir in a shot of flax seed oil. Well I'm heading into a slump mentally. I'm not so sure why. There are changes happening around and I'm just feeling "doom" The news has been awful with all the mill shut downs and mines getting put on hold. Plus the cost of fuel going up, with my hubby a truck driver I'm not sure how all these things will affect us, if at all. I just sit here and stew. I try to tell myself that everything will work out alright, the world keeps on turning and change is inevitable and a good thing. We've managed changes before and hubby is good at what he does and there is a need for drivers so I don't really have anything to worry about, so I keep telling myself.:shrug: You know that really annoys me about me, I stew and worrry about the "what ifs" What the heck will I do with real problems? Enough of this. I should go, hubby got home after being gone for a couple of days and I have things that need to be done. Take care everyone and have a wonderful day:grouphug: K |
Im pretty new here (this particular forum) so I thought I'd say hello. Not sure what to say as far as introduction purposes but its nice to know that there's this group here.

Good afternoon!
Hi rosie and welcome to this cozy little corner of 3fatchicks! look foreward to getting to know you. Well I'm feeling a bit better than this morning. Hubby and I had an appointment with our life insurance dude this afternoon, that was fun....Not! We put him off until January without having to make any decisions etc. Nothing like getting told you don't have enough insurance. Still have to take C to judo and B needs to go to the library. Have a great evening everyone, K |
Hi All,
I'm still here and alive. lol. Just been busy with work and stress of everyday life. lol. I haven't been a very "good" girl lately, "diet wise". So I just haven't been around, I know you all have your own busy lives and stresses! lol. The Holiday for me won't be much of a holiday really. I guess that is a bad attitude, but its how I feel. I may as well just volunteer to work it, we could use the extra $$ anyways. lol. Boy I'm just a ray of sunshine, aren't I? lmao. Oh my mom did get her Doppler Study Done, they said there was nothing critical, they say they would have told her if it was. But she has to wait 3 weeks for the results. So we're keeping our fingers crossed :crossed: that everything comes back okay. My mom gets off the 1st week in Dec. She may come up on that weekend, we'll have to wait and see though. Kinda low on the fundage and we all know how expensive gas is and we have to go and get her and take her home and she doesn't exactly live right next door. lol. But DH says he thinks it would be good for the both of us for her to come up because she has been stressed too. So we'll see. Well I won't bore you any longer. lol. I hope you all are doing well! :hug: |
Hi Everyone and Happy Saturday :D
Got a busy day ahead.... Karate and a party tonight, of course there's cleaning and such inbetween lol. Its good to see you all and welcome to the the new friends who have joined us this week. I wish I could post more today but I have to run.... shower and get my butt out the door. Cathy its good to have you back :hug: I'll try to get back on here tonight to catch up. Love you girls :hug: Leenie |
Happy Saturday - and Happy December 1st! Wow - where the heck did this year GO?! :rolleyes:
Welcome, Rosie - glad you've joined us! Jo - I LOVE my bird feeders - and since my cats moved to Canada with me from the UK, they will NOT venture outside if there's snow on the ground, so they sit at the window and loudly dream of catching these 'exotic' birds they do not recognize! hahaha Sassy, Buddly - good to see you, even though you both have lots going on! :hug: Well, today is decorating day... but I might just put it off until Monday! :lol3: That would be SO like me. :D Nothing of interest to say, so I shall push off and get something productive done - have a great weekend, girls!! Heather :D |
Hi Ladies.
Sorry that I've stayed away. I honestly just did not have much to talk about. lol. Just was working. lol. Not much more to say now and I'm off. lol. But I'll try to do better about checking in at least. ;) I am so sore ya'all. This weather is just torture for me and I need to clean because my mom may come up next weekend! But I am just sooooo sore! And last time I cleaned anyways when I was sore, I got a pinched nerve out of the deal. lol. UGH. Anybody know where that dang fairy Godmother is when you really need her? lmao!! I really really dread going back to work...........They just keep piling the work load on...........I am looking to get out. Remember when I told you all about DH's old boss from our college offering him a teaching job? Well he FINALLY got back with him, so DH sent in his resume'. He is just going to do it as an extra job for now, we can really really use that extra money right now. Well I am going to have DH ask him if there is any jobs opened in the office at school. (I don't want to teach!) lol. Then I could work part time at first too and see how it works out before totally leaving where I am now. But I just really really need a change I think. I am just burnt out and with them piling on more work everyday, I am tired of it, plain and simple. We aren't getting paid more for more work and its definitely not worth the stress! I even told DH I would be willing to go back into working retail if I had too! They would just have to find me a sit down job somewhere! lol. So hopefully by next year at this time I will have a new job that I love instead of one that causing me even more added stress! I am thankful that I do have a job, because some people do not. But if anybody wants my job, then they are free to come and take it! lol. Just teasin! I am just really fed up is all. I've stayed because of being afraid of change. Stupid, right? lol. Well everything is going to be changing at work anyways, yup even more work for us with no more pay! So that is motivation enough for me to get out now! I hope you all are doing well and Thank You all for all your kind words and support! Big Big :hug: |
Happy Sunday,
Its snowing here, DH and DD are out playing. I'm staying in, my back is killing me b/c of the weather, I think today I'm just going to relax because I feel like I just can't fight this pain. Yep I take tylenol....its all I can take :( Anyway, enough about me complaining LOL Just sitting here looking at my tree thanking God I can chat with you all and watch my DD play outside is more than I could ask for. Sasy, good to see yah....when you find that FairyGodMother....send her my way, I could really use the help :angel: Hang in there w/your job....some days I feel like you and then I have to remind myself how blessed I am to have a job. I see lot of people that don't have one and boy...its humbling. I think finding a new job is a wonderful new years resolution...you go girl. Heather.....have fun decorating, when its done its so cozy and wonderful. ENJOY. Well I'm just gonna snuggle in here..... ttyl :hug: Leenie |
Good Morning!
Sassy and Leenie I hope you feel better soon. Nothing new here and not much planned for today. I'm hoping to bake some fruit cakes mostly for the extra heat ;) Oh and I think I actually have to leave the house today as B still has to get to the library, it was closed Friday and she has an essay to do. We were going to go out yesterday, but decided it was to cold and it was nicer just to stay at home where it was much more comfortable. Well ladies you take it easy and have a wonderful and restful Sunday. Take care, K |
Hi Chicks!
Hey All.
Wow I can't believe it and I may be jinxing myself but for now at least I am not in any pain! :woohoo: lol. TY all once more, you are just truly great and awesome Chicks! ;) Heather -- Thanks hon. I hope you got your decorating done. If my mom comes up, I think me and her will put up our Christmas Tree. We haven't done that since I was still living at home! lol. Leenie -- TY. Here are my resolutions for the NY: To have a new career, have less of me here, to have a house, and have my mom living with us, healthy and happy! :) I can surely sympathize with your back pain. I've been so sore ever since the weather change -- today is the first day I am pain free -- at least for now. Gentle :hug: that your back feels better soon. Buddly -- TY. I was baking last week and it surely heated up the apt! I hope that B can get her essay completed. I agree, this kind of weather is snuggling up and watching tv/movies weather. lol. :welcome: to any new members! :) Have a Wonderful rest of your Sunday! Tomorrow night is back to work........Yippee. lol. But we should be really slow. The closer we get to Christmas, the slower we get. Although I guess we could be really busy, people trying to get everything done BEFORE the holidays.........Either way, just want my week to fly by very quickly! lol. I still have not heard anything about Christmas, if I am off yet or not. If I'm not, I'm not sweating it, we can use the extra money and DH said if I have to work, he will work too. Now that is true love! :love: lol. Fairy Godmother did not show up either! lol. So I had to clean up all by myself! lol. But I still have more to do before my mother comes, if she still comes next weekend. I don't want her to have to do anything and if she sees something that needs to be cleaned, she will clean it. lol. And I don't mind it, but I don't want her doing it. I want her to relax. But my mother actually enjoys cleaning. lmao. See why I want her to live with us? lol. Just Teasing. We want her to live with us so she doesn't have to stress about money, plus to have her here with us. Well I am hungry so I better go rustle up some grub! Saying that reminds me of that new show, "Girl Meets Cowboy". Do any of you watch it? It was on one night and now DH & I are both hooked! lol. Lots of good looking Cowboys on it! Its on Monday's beginning around 4 pm on the Women's Entertainment Channel (WE), so check it out girls! lol. My DH keeps saying there should be a a (ME) channel, Mens Entertainment. I said, "Hello, you guys have ESPN!" lmao! Have a Great Evening All! :hug: |
