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!
I was actually feeling pretty good today until I took my van to get the oil changed and the ac fixed...its gonna cost 200 for the ac to be fixed. I just dont have it right now we just finished moving and it pretty much wiped us out!! It sucks because of the kids there are only two windows in the van so the boys in the back dont get much air. my baby turns 1 in july and is to be facing in her seat backwards but I had to turn her around so she could get air because her face would get flushed red and way way overheated. I figure it would be better for her to get the air!! That just sucks that now i have to wait to get it fixed!! so yeah my day is going down quick!!
Good luck to you two moving...I thought I was going to have a break down during my whole move it was awful.....
me a-I cant believe its snowing where do you live again?? I am sorry your feeling sooooo down...makes me think I could be a little happier cause your having a harder time!!
Heather Angel-I think its awesome you lost so much wieght...hopefully you will be able to pull yourself back on track. Somethings just throw you off and you have to get back on. Like when you ride a horse and it bucks you off its gonna hurt and your not gonna jump up and jump on and be like lets gooo horsey!! so dust yourself off and try to get back on!!! I have been there after our move I felt pretty close to how you did. The move is what threw me off and there were other things going on.
Ok well ladies I am so proud of myself I have managed to keep up with posting. Because when I do this is a reminder and motivation to go excercise. When I see what it has done for others it makes me go excercise!! Check back in later!!!
Momof4- how wierd is this weather? Its super hot on the east coast but snowing here where I live in the inland northwest. Sorry to hear about your ac, I hope the heat breaks soon!
Well DH did not get the out-of-state job. They were to call yesterday if he got the job and he did not get a call and they only were doing calls yesterday at a certain time and they told him at the test if he didn't get a call, then "thanks for applying".
So he's kinda bummed, but then I pointed out that he was worried about doing the job anyhow. So he is going to continue to job search up here and so am I, now that I know the results of his out-of-state job. I didn't want to look until I knew where I'd be looking. So yes, fear not I am gonna look.
I have also came to a conclusion or a few actually:
1) I am no longer gonna post about my job, at least negative things
2) I am no longer gonna talk/post bad things about anybody from now on. Basically if I wouldn't want it said about me, then I am not gonna say it about another person.
3) Just going to try to be more positive and focus on moving forward instead of "treading water".
Why did I come decide this? Well it was Francie's post yesterday (in a different thread) asking about "Do you think your manager/boss could be monitoring you?" Not that, that was the exact reason. I know that everything is monitored here, I am not stupid. But it just made me think that maybe I should try to not be so negative. We all have our bad days and all, but here lately I think everyday for me is a bad one. lol.
So those are my goals...and I appologize for being a "Negative Nelly"
Buddly -- It is lonely. But hopefully I will find something else soon and that is all I will say on that.
I felt bad earlier, I think its just poor food choices. I just struggle so much with that and I really need to stop it. I go to lunch in an hr and I don't even wanna eat cuz I am afraid I will feel bad after. DH was supposed to make me fish and rice, but he didn't and I didn't have time to cook anything before work. Aw well.......
Have a good one.

Well the weather here was a fiery 102 degrees and humid. Snow Amarie? What is going on? I would trade you if I could. As you probably remember I whined all winter about our lack of snow. The hot weather would be less stifling if I could wear shorts and a tank top but not on this bod!
Amarie: after reading your post I was like crap! I haven't cleaned anything today. DF had the day off unexpectedly and we spent most of the day running around shopping. I read it about 9:30 tonight and ran upstairs and grabbed a drawer in the guest room and cleaned it out while I watched 'Workout' on Bravo. So thank you for motivating me and making me get at least a little done today! Tomorrow I will try to clear the floor in the spare room/new gym and start shredding this big storage bin full of miscellaneous stuff. What are you going to do?
Buddly: The countdown is on! 3 days! What are you planning to tackle today?
Heather: I have to say again, I'm so glad to see you posting! I know your loss has slowed but at least it hasn't gone out the window altogether. I know you see the positive of that but I also know that no matter where you are when you stop exercising and start eating too much it just makes you feel like total crap. I'm SOOO there now. My workout buddy is coming over tomorrow night so I have to at least get a small workout in. My stamina is also shot and I can hear myself breathing hard when I just walk a short distance. It's sad. Did you get your run in? Regardless, what do you plan to do today for exercise? Maybe we can nudge each other on.
Momof4 and Amarie: I'm with you on the broke bandwagon. I don't know what I'm going to do. No AC though, I hope you get that resolved and fast. That's dangerous if you are having weather like we are. We were supposed to get some storms but they passed us by.
Sassy, I just read your post so let me ask a better, more challenging question, "What did you enjoy about work tonight?"
Oh Boy that is challenging. lol. Ummmm. I guess that it is the day before my "Friday"?? lol. I dunno honestly. I guess chatting with my co-workers (the night ones lol) Oh and I guess this is ok for me to say, its positive, well kinda. lol. One of the Daytime girls was talking all nice to me yesterday morning when I was leaving, she was behind me.......I'll leave it at that. You come up with your own conclusion. lol. Its been warm here too. Yesterday was the 1st not so hot day and it was still in the mid-80's. lol. Speaking of snow I can share another thing from work that is a positive experience because it made my coworker and I laugh. Someone from the Painsville, OH site were having network issues after a power outage and the person calling said "Due to a Snowstorm, instead of a Thunderstorm." We were like if it is snowing there and its hotter than Haitis here then its the end of the world. lol. Painsville is about 4 hrs away from us so that would be really strange and I did look at the weather and it said it was 66 and storming, thunderstorming. lol.
Love songs are evil when you're alone and feeling depressed. But yet..I cant stop listening to them because it makes me think of dh and when he would sing these songs to me..
I am sooooooooo depressed. I was at work. I left early because I got sick (sorry for TMI) but it was aggravated by me getting upset at something one of the Daywitches said. They must be totally stupid because I can hear everything they say, even if they whisper. I have very good hearing. Well The "Head Witch" I will call her said to a fellow witch, "OMG I F---ing hate her, she is SO f---ing fat!!!" And the Fellow Witch responds with, "She is sitting right over there." I was the only one besides those two that was a female period, but there are only 2 heavy women on our team, me and one other woman and she wasn't even there yet, I passed her on the way out. So who in the heck else would they be talking about? Nobody else was sitting around them!!! I am sure they would not say that to one another!! So needless to say I started bawling and went to the bathroom and got sick. After that I was like F-it. I'm going home. So I went back out to ask my coworker if he could call my boss and ask him if I could go home, I'm sick. Then I had to run back to the bathroom (sorry again if TMI) and came back, well the boss didn't call back and I didn't really feel like hanging around, so I left. I told the kinda sorta "2nd in Command" guy and he said, "If your sick, your sick."
But honestly?? I do not even want to go back. I know I have too, but I honestly don't. I feel like that fat little girl who got made fun of all through school. It NEVER stops. NEVER. I am now thinking about talking to my dr about the WLS. I have considered it before, but just never went through with it. I know its not a "miracle" thing or anything, it is a tool. I know that. But I am just tired of being fat. So either I get that or I just wanna die. I told DH when I got home and all he said was, "Sorry your sick and that he couldn't beleive that the chick at work said that." (he knows her) Then that was it! I dunno guess I expected some compassion or something............I mean my mom always comforted me when I came home from school crying. And I know I am not a little girl anymore but dammit I need comforting. Well that is about it.
Oh and I need one of the Moderators to answer me a question, can they tell who has logged on the forum and when?
Taking kids to Amusment park for their preschool....4 of them and 1 of me...I sooo need BACKUP!!! I have to mental prep myself before I go the white fat mother in a bathsuit with all her kids......So yeah I really gotta put a mental block up so I can just ignore everyone...LOL......thats about it so yeah hopefully it will go well
Sassyawwwww...I feel awful for what happen to you...it makes me mad like I would like to just like punch them all in the head for you....I am always like you know what we all reap what we sow...so yeah I pray they will get theirs right back to them!!!! Sometimes Men just dont get it...smack him...lol...No seriously I am sorry it was such a crappy day at work...I hope your feeling better!!!
Have a good day everyone...hopefully I make it home alive!!!! lata
Okay, so I did run yesterday, but only 2.2 miles before my right knee gave me problems - it's so hard to build up again :-/ I'm in a surprising amount of pain now, so weights and walking for me for a few days.
Nothing else of news here - nice weather - not too hot - and still job-hunting, as you can imagine.
Sassy - I'm sorry you work with such ignorant people, but you mustn't let them get to you too much... you must be strong! You are NOT to be defeated by idiots!!
As you can tell...feeling good...yup I am...don't know why...don't want to pick at it!!! So...I am day 3 back into my yoga/cardio workouts and meditation after the time off due to visiting family and our 5 days on the Big Island... My grace time with my shoulders gave out on Sunday...hurting pretty bad... I actually learned a few things about myself on vacation! I know! So weird!!! lol I learned something I already kinda knew...I need yoga and cardio...well duh...but I also need to be outside for a few mins EVERYDAY....preferably in meditation...uh yeah...just gotta do it...don't know why...not gonna pick at it...
OMG...Sassy...my heart just aches for you...I cannot believe we live in a world where people who are supposed to be grown ups can still behave in the worst habits of childhood... I am so sorry...I know that it can't take the pain but it really is their problem and not yours...and if they knew what a beautiful friend they were missing out on they would just kick themselves... Please try to remember all of us here who need when you deal with those people... And I am sorry your DH didn't get the job he wanted and that he wasn't more compassionate of your feelings...
Sounds like everyone else is staying busy!!! OOOH!! I love Adam Sandler and I do think Don't Mess With The Zohan is hilarious but I didn't realize what type of movie it was and didn't check because it was PG-13 so took the 16 year old DD with me...uh...yeah...we ended up walking out cuz we were just way too uncomfortable!!! Some other people with even younger kids did as well...just a warning guys!
Sassy - wow, it does sound just like my school years. I'm so sorry!!!! Stupid nasty people! Ugh, why is it that some people never grow up? Odds are they hate their jobs too and a miserable, but its just so incredibly pathetic that they choose to make themselves feel better by putting you down. I'm so sorry they hurt you Do you have an hr person you can talk to? I think that kind of thing in the workplace may rise to the level of workplace bullying and weight discrimination. I know not all employers are willing to admit it, but obescity is a medical condition. You deserve better than that. And try not to be too hard on dh for being oblivious. I think its just sometimes how men are - we're here for you love!
Hope - wtg on cleaning out the drawer, I'm so proud of you for deciding to take it on at 9:30!!! woohoo. And now, I'm embarassed to admit I didn't get anything done last night I got home at 7:00 and had to put in 3 hrs of work on my laptop. Ptewy. So, YOU've ispired ME to get it done today instead! thank you!
Francie - OK, this may sound hokey, but I think that kinda sad feels good sometimes, because it reminds us how deeply we can love. Loving someone enough to miss them that much is beautiful, so even though it hurts, it kinda feels good.
Heather - WTG! 2.2 miles is HUGE considering you said you haven't been running at all much! No wonder you're sore! But I bet your body will pick up a lot faster getting back into the long distances than in building them the first time. (I have to admit, right now 2.2 is a long run for me!)
Momof4 - Here, I'll lend you a little of my "stupid people" armor for your trip to the amusement park (hands it over). I hope it helps you ignore the stupid people who should know better than to judge but don't. Try to have fun with your kids! Do they have rollercoasters? Rollercoasters scare me...
Not much happening for me today - its rainy and cold - the snow has moved East of me. My friend in Helena, MT called and said it was snowing there... brrrrrr.
I've decided to cultivate a better attitude about being B-roke. Money sucks whether you have it or not. And maybe I'll actually get motivated enough to go put some of the stuff I no longer need on ebay.
Tonight I'm thinking I'll start a pot of chili going, at least get the beans soaking. It chili weather right now.
Hi Leenie - ...zoom...
Buddly, Cathy, Raven, everyone else... whats new today?
Hi Chicks.

I hate when the hormones go crazy.

I'm SOOOOOOO depressed.
