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!
Sorry I haven't been around, but now that spring break is over I may get a turn on the computer more often.
Had a busy day today as I went with my mum to the hospital and had meetings with her case worker and specialist on how to live with her chronic kidney disease. It was interesting. Then of course we went out for lunch. Gosh it tasted good, but evidently very salty, I wish my water was in an iv!! I can't get enough.
Its only the third day back to school for the girls and B stayed home as she had a three day old migraine, poor kid.
whoops better go, hubby just got home, wasn't sure if he was going to make it tonight or not. Hopefully I can be on here longer later!
Sassy~WOW!! Your dream meaning is so cool. I gotta start looking up the dreams I remember, lol. Jennifer Love Desperate claims she's a size 2. LoL!! I highly doubt that. For some reason, I can not think of any girls over size 2. Lol!! I'd want America Ferra (Ugly Betty) to play me. Even though we have different skin tones. But we have that whole latina thing going on. I just love her. Real Women Have Curves is one of my fave movies!!
Hope~I'm looking at the dvd right now..and it says that its 20 mins. And it has 3 levels. I'm so sore right now. Going up and down the stairs really did it for me. Dh had to practically carry me in, lol.
Jerzy~I hope your kitty comes back I have 3 cats, and they're all indoor cats. But one of them is in heat right now. I have a fear that she'll run out when one of us comes through the front door. All I need is a pregnant cat, lol. Although that would be awesome cuz I love kitties and I want another one badly, LOL!!
Well..dh & I went to the movies tonight. We went to see Stop Loss. It was very very good!! Some of the stuff really got to me and I cried. Military movies always make me think of my dh. I love him so much, I worry about him whenever he's gone. I've been with him for 5 years, married for 3 and known him for 10 years, I dont know what I'd do without him. I hope to God that nothing like that ever happens to him. OKay, I better stop now before I start to cry again...
I'm gonna go lay down and read until I fall asleep. Nighty nite.
Hope: - I want that for you too! But I'd rather you have the $$ without the cost to your emotional and physcial health that I've had to pay. I work in financial services compliance, its a very male dominated, bullying atmosphere. Of course, I want a dear sweet DF who loves me like you have
Sassy - WOW! That dream explanation is so cool!! I am so running onto that site today to see what my dream last night meant. In my dream last night I tried to get someone fired, made them cry, then found out afterward that they really weren't as bad as I thought, even though they weren't good at their job. In the dream I had keys to get in everywhere, and I was doing all of this with another person I never saw. It was VERY wierd. Anyway! Fingers crossed for the condo! I so would come to your housewarming, but I think it'll only happen in spirit.
Heather - Hi lurky-girl! Stay well!
Buddly - I hope the docs gave you and your mom some good info. I'm all about education when it comes to medical stuff. I like reducing my uncertainty.
Francie - Haha. I love lifetime, or at least I did when I used to pay for cable Now I just watch LOTS of PBS. I think if anyone were to play me in a movie I would want it to be Toni Collete cause she's gorgeous in a real-person way, or maybe Kate Winslet - again, she always seems more like a human being to me. And they are both absolutley fierce actresses! Haha, maybe they could make my life seem interesting....
Jerzy - Hi sweetie, I hope you're cat made it home ok! Keep us posted?
Leenie - Hi! Whats new with you today?
Anyway, not much goin on for me. I'm going to my counselor today. Should be interesting to see what stuff I drag out of my psyche this time.

Amarie~I love Toni Collete & Kate Winselt!! They are both really good actresses!! God, I just love Kate Winselt's movies. I cannot wait for the one with her & Leo to come out. (that little Titanic freak in me still lives, lol)
Nothing much is going on today. I'm sore all over so I'm just trying to take it easy.
Jerzy: Yea! So glad the cat is safe. I have a neighborhood kitty that I have 'adopted' or he adopted us I should say. He sleeps with us every night now and goes out during the day. If he stays gone too long I freak out.
Amarie: How funny! The job I quit last year was a sales job in financial services. I know what you mean about male domination. Try to call yourself a financial planner as a 5' 1" overweight female and see how much respect you get. The stress of building the practice, finding and then dealing with clients, meeting the compliance standards, and getting contracts approved almost put me WAY over the edge. How on earth did you get involved in the compliance side? I know you can make good $$, but I felt sorry for our compliance guy b/c he got treated like crap for just trying to do his job.
How was the counselor? Mine got a workout from me when I had that job! What are you studying to become?
Buddly: Is your mom still working at A&W or is she not able to anymore? Living with a chronic disease is hard. to you both.
Shop: I may try the Shred workout #2 tomorrow. I had to mow our yard today before the 3 day rain we are getting now so I haven't done an official workout. I want to see Stop Loss. I'm glad you gave it a good review.
thanks for the words of encouragement yesterday! i DID get up and go to the gym (what a freakin' struggle, though) which made me feel a little better. then after my shower i actually did my hair AND makeup, which i haven't done in ages. so i felt kinda pretty. =)
Hello everyone. I feel really guilty about the last two days even though I hardly went over my calorie count yesterday and today I still ate much less than I used to before I was dieting. I feel like I indulged myself too much and I need to snap out of the indulgent mindset, you know? I was down to 192 yesterday morning, which was AWESOME, but I couldn't bear to weight myself today because I was just awful.
Things continue to be crazy around here. All but one of the girls on my dormitory wing is suffering from some kind of mental illness or nervous breakdown, and it's just plain awful. Sometimes I feel like we're running a psych ward here instead of a school for the gifted!
Anyway. Just two weeks before I see my Jeffry again and take him home to meet my parents. Yikes! I'm so excited for that. I hope they love him, because I have the feeling he's going to be around for a long time. :-D
Hang in there, everyone. May you all lead lives that are much less interesting and frantic than mine!
Iris~My mom's grandma always said that if you ever feel like crap..you should put on makeup so you can feel better. (well, she didnt use the word crap, but you know what i mean, lol). I fully believe in that too. Of course, I always put on cute underwear too and that makes me feel even more better. Dh doesnt understand that but eh..he's a guy, lol.

Hope - I sorta fell into compliance. I used to be in specialty program development and seemed to spend most my time cleaning up after people's messes and pointing out things we couldn't do because it was a no-no. So, I guess they decided that since I was so good at dotting i's and crossing t's that I should be in compliance. Well, that or after I gained the weight they decided that a short overweight female would look better behind a desk than meeting with clients - take your pick. It looks like I'll be going back to get my PhD in business. I want to do research and teach someday. I'd like to work somewhere where being an intelligent woman is actually looked up to rather than derided and seen as threatening. And maybe, just maybe, figure out a way to change the world so that the next generation of intelligent women don't have it so hard. Small goal, huh?
Emmy - I second what Iris said, from experience. I spent a couple years at a psychward... I mean gifted girls school. I know that everyone has a hard time as teenager, but I think it can be especially rough on bright kids - they see so much more than most their peers, and lets face it, the world of a teenager is not very pretty. Just do what you can to stay sane and in the present moment. Sometimes that example can be the best thing. And don't let the buggers get you down, they treat everyone like crap at that stage, trust me (bows head in shame) so its not just you.
Francie - a new Winslet/Leo movie ???!?? Do tell, I had not heard!!
Well, for my part I'm pretty excited today! I am going on a visit weekend to the school I am most likely going to next year. Yeek! I wish I had more free-time to spend while I'm there. I'm so excited!!! Anyway, you'll probably see a little less of me while I'm gone, but I'll let you know how everything goes.
Amarie~I dont know much about it really. But I got this off of IMDb...

Revolutionary Road
April and Frank Wheeler are a young, thriving couple living with their two children in a Connecticut suburb in the mid-1950s. Their self-assured exterior masks a creeping frustration at their inability to feel fulfilled in their relationships or careers. Frank is mired in a well-paying but boring office job and April is a housewife still mourning the demise of her hoped-for acting career. Determined to identify themselves as superior to the mediocre sprawl of suburbanites who surround them, they decide to move to France where they will be better able to develop their true artistic sensibilities, free of the consumerist demands of capitalist America. As their relationship deteriorates into an endless cycle of squabbling, jealousy and recriminations, their trip and their dreams of self-fulfillment are thrown into jeopardy.
I have 3 cats, and they're all indoor cats. But one of them is in heat right now. I have a fear that she'll run out when one of us comes through the front door. All I need is a pregnant cat, lol. Although that would be awesome cuz I love kitties and I want another one badly, LOL!! 
Hi lurky-girl! Stay well!
Hi Ladies
So glad the cat is safe. I have a neighborhood kitty that I have 'adopted' or he adopted us I should say. He sleeps with us every night now and goes out during the day. If he stays gone too long I freak out. 
What are you studying to become?
we are getting now so I haven't done an official workout. I want to see Stop Loss. I'm glad you gave it a good review.
See you on the weekend.
