Mmmm, brownies... Hang in there Hope - we can win the war on brownies!
Nothing new here, bored bored bored. Hahaha - SO not like me to force myself to rest, so I'm making little plans for something every day... finish a book that taken me ages, read magazines on the deck, have a friend over for lunch... walk a little bit almost every day. That last one is SO hard for me - yesterday I walked 12 minutes, then turned around and came home... so about 25 minutes all told. I was so tired - I've run 10 miles and felt less tired! The body is a funny thing, isn't it??
Well - have I bored ya'll enough?? Have a great day everyone!!
hope-TOM IS EVIL....not the brownies..I can tell mine is coming soon and it will probably end up being while we are camping which will SUCK!!! I have just wanted to eat junk and am forgetting my meds...
heather-Atleast you are planning stuff and not allowing depression to overtake you. Since you are having to rest you can easily slip into a depression so that is awesome your keeping yourself "active" LOL..Your doing more walking than me and I dont have an excuse...that sucks.
I am sick of being fat but feel soooo trapped. Every time I get dressed I want to cry when I go anywhere I feel like everyone is looking at me and making fun of me (i am sure they probably dont even look my way) Its a CONSTANT thing that I deal with but YET I cant, dont, wont whatever eat right and excercise. Yes I am busy and have lots of kids and things I am responsible for but that is all excuses. But like today I had so much to do but couldnt even get myself off the couch like couldnt even MAKE myself...granted I have missed ALOT of meds this week so that is part of it. I think maybe I should do biggest loser because then there is no turning back. I never sent in my application cause I figured I would have lost weight before that next show. But I think maybe I need to...I dont know...UGHHHH....I had done well drinking soda so I was like I will have one since I have went with out for a while...AS SOON as I drank it then I wanted more. Its like I cant just have a little cause then I just want more...it must be that sugar sensitive thing....ERRRR
I feel trapped and cant get away and do what I should be doing...anyone ever feel like that. It is an awful thing.
I haven't been up to posting or doing anything. I'm completely tired. I've only been sleeping about 2 or 3 hours a night and yesterday I couldn't even fall asleep when I tried taking a nap. I only slept 5 hours last night. All I want to do is sleep but I try to stay awake during the day.
Hi y'all. I am new here. I just posted in the new member thread and burned our dinner while doing it. UGH!!! I'm micro-defrosting another steak, hubby is looking at me like I have lost it.. At least the steamed vegetables arent burned...just mushy. Gotta go...the microwave just beeped.
marbear ~ What's going on? How are you feeling today? Congratz on the losing 5 lbs.
momof4 ~ I'm the same way.. Always giving. It's good to figure out things in your head, but at times you'll drive yourself crazy doing it. It normally helps to talk things out. It's good that your parents were there to help you out with your car. My son has being doing the same things. He tells me one thing and then tells my parents something else. Don't give up on her, just let her know that you are there and wait for her to come to you. I also hate looking in the mirror when i get dressed.
Sassy ~ Welcome Back and congratz on the new car.
Hope ~ Brownie are the root of all evil along with chocolate.
Heather ~ Being bored is a terrible thing. it's good that you are trying to find things to do.
I finally took a nap this afternoon and feel so much better.
I'm baking brownies for a bake sale tomorrow at work. Yes, the root of all evil is in the oven at 325 degrees. I don't plan on having any now that the pan that was in our house is finally gone, but there is a girl at work who is needy and will benefit from their sale.
Welcome Oogi, looking forward to getting to know you.
Momof4--I feel your pain on the weightloss front. I'm sick of this fat and having to think about it, or ignore it, or overcome it, or whatever I'm doing with it on any given day. You are not alone.
Purefire, glad you finally got some sleep. You deserve it after all the cleaning you did.
Marbear, back at you. Feelin any better?
Heather, I know you are bored but try to think of all the times you wished you had time to read and catch up on stuff like that. Try to enjoy it, you'll be back to work before you know it.
On a good note, I did get my workout in today and yesterday despite TOM.
Heather the rest will be so worth it in the end, I'm gathering you really don't want any scar tissue to build (which is very painful btw). Keep plodding
Mom feel better hon, and yes, i feel trapped and not able to come out of it (pretty much all the time).
Hope YEAH on the workout
Purefire I know what zombie feels like too, if I get 3 hours uninterupted sleep a night thats alot.. some times I don't know how I got to work.. can't remember I'm so tired.. scary huh. hang in there and try to get some good sleep
Sassy, Jelly, Blue, Buddly, Marbear and to all the other beauties on this board.
I think I'm just tired of being tired. I went to bed somewhat early last night and even had the chance to sleep in but my body didn't agree with me wanting to. I was up at 7:45am instead of 7am.
I finally started doing my walk again. My legs are sore but I liked getting back out there. I was trying to walk when I got up in the morning and then late at night before I went to bed. I actually slept better when I walked at night.
Going to go spend the day with my son. Hopefully we get to go see Harry Potter
Hi Ladies - Thanks for the warm warm welcome! Dinner last night turned out great after I cooked the second steak. The burnt one will go to the dogs...
Purefire - Good for you on your walking again. I have problems translating wants into actions (like WALKING) but walked the dogs for a mile this am. It feels great and gives you energy, doesn't it? I'm hoping to creep into making it a habit in spite of the translation problem.
Good Morning! actually it is afternoon here...just got back from walking one dog. If it wasn't for this forum, that would never have happened. YAY 3FC!
Hello everyone,
I really didn't know where to go after such a long time. I'm needing a place to vent, sometimes, but don't want to get on anyone's nerves.
I've gone through so much the last 3 years,(or, our family has) I doubt if anyone would even believe me. I've eaten so much, that, I'm larger than I've ever been. I tried venting in the thread I was in 2 yrs ago, and was told I wasn't the only one with problems. That I needed to get over it. So, I guess my feelings got hurt.
Here goes. If you don't want to read, it's ok. I just need to put it down, somewhere.
Our son (then 26) got on drugs, his ex-wife told him that his 2 little girls were being molested. While high one day (she had supplied him the night before and spent the night with him.) our son shot the guy(thinking he was protecting his daughters). The other guy drew his gun, but, police was told he didn't have one. He didn't die, but, had surgery. His ex-wife told that our son just went in the house and started shooting, and she didn't know why. She got a court order against him and he couldn't see his daughters. (They were his life.) While waiting our son's trial, the guy dies of a heart attack and charges were dropped on our son! His ex-wife is close to her brother, and they knew our son would try to see his girls. May 18, 2008, while my husband and I were at church, her brother burned our house down. Our son was inside the house asleep, and, thanks to passers by, was awaken, and escaped. He burned my husband's work truck and all of his tools. There were a lot of witnesses, especially from a church that is straight across from our house. He went on trial, and was found not guilty! We have found out that one of the guys on the jury was a friend of his! Our son lost his mind......between not seeing his girls and shooting someone, and almost burning up. He is now in a mental institution.
We took his ex-wife to court for grandparents rights, and have the girls 3 weekends a month. We are having to get reacquainted with them. Our son can't see them until he is out. The girls won't talk about him. The other family has turned them against him, and the youngest, now 7, doesn't remember him.
We have been so blessed with help from everyone! It was on the news, and in the paper. We were helped and are still being helped. People around here don't like what happened, and know that he's guilty! We were even given a mobile home to live in. Through friend, neighbors, strangers, etc., we have been encouraged.
We know, though, that when our son comes back, that there probably will be more trouble.
Of course, there's a lot more. After all, it's three years! I know there's a God taking care of us, and he will take care of this evil family some day. We won't have to worry about that. But, this is all so hard to live with. I never dreamed we would ever have to go through anything like this!
Now.....I can't stop eating!!! Maybe by coming back to the forum, it will help me. I hope so.
I've been reading some your posts, and hope things get better for you. Maybe I won't write so much next time. I'm not on depression meds. I have severe RA, and other medical problems. I have a feeling I need depression meds, but, holding out.
Thank you for letting me vent.......
yes they are evil but in a good way.

Hang in there Hope - we can win the war on brownies! 
I don't plan on having any now that the pan that was in our house is finally gone, but there is a girl at work who is needy and will benefit from their sale.
You are not alone.
Oogi, glad you joined us.
will go to the dogs...
I have problems translating wants into actions (like WALKING) but walked the dogs for a mile this am. It feels great and gives you energy, doesn't it? I'm hoping to creep into making it a habit in spite of the translation problem.
