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!
Guess what ? the boss (well the bigger boss, not the one that left) is coming in today so I won't have much time to play. This guy is so tiny I can't see him when he comes out of his office b/c he stands behind my computer, then all of a sudden I see this head pop out, scares the crud out of me lol, I'd say he's all of 5 feet and weighs about 110 lbs BUT he's a nice guy and his face is very cute
Good morning, I am new to this "board", I've been on 3FC forever (although I am back from a short "vacation") and wanted to say hi! I currently have 100 lbs to lose. I do struggle with depression and anxiety issues. I currently am on Prozac, and I've had a lot of success with it, although I'm starting to think that I might need to up my dose again. Right now I'm on a really low dose, and its been encouraging to have so much success without much "medical" intervention.
I am hoping to get pregnant sometime soon, and hoping that I will be able to work out that with my ob/gyn. I think what I struggle with most is eating in response to my times of depression. Anyone have any good coping techniques for that?
I've been up since 10:30 am Wed. with a 1 hour nap. I was dead tired by 9 PM but my daughter was up sick so it scared the tired right out of me.
The poor kid... Tomorrow is her last day of school and she can't go in this shape. She has been throwing up and can hardly stand. Poor thing didn't even make it to the toilet. She got it all over her clothes/hair/etc. Ugh... Hubby, the dea that he is, went out to get her 7-Up at 12 midnight. She couldn't keep it down. I told her if she can't keep any fluids down by morning, she's going in!! I gave her a warm bath and brushed her hair and put the bucket next to her. She's sleeping now so that's a good thing but now *I* can't sleep. So I've just been working on auctions. Slower way to get rid of stuff, but hey I'm still de-cluttering!! If you want to check them out, my seller ID is the same as here: Noodles913.
Scratch that..she just got up again...poor kid. I feel helpless as a mother in times like these.
Well, I will miss all of ya!! I'll be scarce then gone completely for 3 days after Friday. Tournament time ya know. Unless the kid doesn't get better. Then the tournament can kiss my . I shall return Monday!! Have a good weekend everyone.
Well the sun is finally shining in Louisiana! Let's hope it stays that way allllllllllllll day today and for many days to come, so this place will dry up and hubby can get back to work.
Boss came in covered with the biggest rash I have ever seen. He is trying to get into the dermatologist this morning. Only thing he can figure is that he ate some raw oysters on Tuesday nite and noticed this rash yesterday afternoon, but it looks awful this morning. Looks like he's got a really bad sunburn - RED ALL OVER! yikes!
Hope to go walk at noon today - didn't get to go yesterday bec my dear sweet mother in law called and asked me to come eat lunch at her house. Boy was it good too! Had to just eat some steamed cauliflower for supper.
Hey? did ya'll see the world's largest bee hive on the national news yesterday???? they said it was the size of a mini van and was found in an abandoned mobile home! goodness I'm itching just thinking about it! did ya'll see the pics too?
Gonna grab my 2nd cup of coffee and will be back later.

ME TOO...I didn't see it but the thought...
I'm allergic to bees and honey. Bad. But ya know what's funny, I am not afraid of the little cutter bees in my own yard. I claim them as MY bees. It's those other bees I worry about!! (we have the africanized killer bees here).
Off to Kindergarten.......helping mom and everyone is going swimming!
Cathy is that what people do there when they have a rash? Usually here they just go to the doctor or if their breathing is affected they go to the ER......it takes weeks to get in with a specialist here.......would never go to a dermatologist with a new rash.
Having a good day....helps when I have to get up and get going......have a good one everyone!
Cathyxxx - If he had and allergic reaction to the oyster, or anything else, thank goodness it wasn't any worse than it was!
Well, I am feeling good today... didn't wake up stiff. I've got my cereal, my milk, and a vitamin. I feel good and I ready to go. I think I'm even ready for my healthy dose of Jr. High attitudes!
Well the dermatologist is a friend of his, but still can't see him until 3:00 today. He is not having any trouble breathing (thank God) but is covered with red welts so that he looks sunburnt! I suggested he start taking Benadryl but he doesn't want to take anything before he sees the doctor. He just went home to stay in the cool until he sees the doc. If he stays here he will be out in the shop sweating up a storm and that can't be good.
Hey! I have to tell ya'll something about the word "welt". All my life I have said "welp". That is what we say down here. "she had welps all over her". Somebody (from up north) got to talking about that the other day and asked me what I call the stuff you get when you pop your skin and it raises up and I said "a welp" and they busted out laughing and said "everybody down here calls it that, but it is a W E L T" and I was like "no that can't be - I've never heard that". Well we looked it up in the dictionary and sure enough - it is WELT. There isn't even a word in there spelt welp.
oh geez - africanized killer bees scare the livin daylights out of me!!!! I don't want to think about it!
Speaking of bees...I just got this in the e-mail:
The US Postal service sent out a message to all letter carriers to put a sheet of Bounce in their uniform pockets to keep yellow jackets away.
Use them all the time when playing baseball and soccer. I use it when I am working outside It really works. The yellow jackets just veer around you. And all this time you've just been putting Bounce in the dryer!
Good Morning Ladies.... Its cloudy here and I can tell the rain is coming again.My allergies act up right before.I can't believe its Thursday already.
BIL is not doing so great.We got news yesterday; that he is gonna have to go into a nursing home permanently...He is 46 years old and this has taken him.He moves his hands great but his legs aren't doing so good.I don't think his memory is the greatest either.One minute; he is in the now the next minute he is in his own little world.Dh said he should have just let him go when he was in the hospital because this is the one thing BIL didn't want.So Dh is having lots of mixed feelings.
Shelia - CONGRATS on the weight loss!! 20 lbs is GREAT progress!! (go find a 20 lb bag of dog food - its a great exercise in seeing how wonderful you are doing!)
Lynnie - sorry about your BIL - I hope that you can make good decisions for him and that everything works out.
