flipping through the thesaurus......(scratching my head...,.. nope can't use that one, moth-eaten?, nope, GOT IT!!!! pretend I said...MYSTICAL Mondays

if we are in for a bang-up, positive week.....it can be TNT Tuesday?

Thanks everybody for the encouragement...the combination of support and Meridia has kept me from the two coconut-cream pies that are snuggled next to the coffee pot area... Food just appears in this office, no one admits to bringing it in.....

I've been exercising at 6AM this week because my work schedule cut let me loose from the office....whatever works........today it was me and Billy Blanks again....I like the fact that he does standing abdominal work, because it I lay on the floor, the dog licks my face....

Hi, everyone,

Marble, it sounds like you are doing a great job with the eating and everything. Keep it up!

Leenie, if you find out any new info on depression/panic from the new doc, I'd be interested. It sounds like he was a help as far as the weight stuff goes.

Cathy, I got that issue of Your Diet. I like it, too. Good job working out. TODAY I will respond to your p.m. The other day I was just going to read it, but I saw that you went looking for a response. Sorry about that.

Kier, did you just start counting points? You were on the Core plan, right? I am interested to hear how you like the points. It is working pretty well for me. Keep up the good work!

Cin, I hope your daughter is doing o.k. I think it must be great to have grandchildren.

I weighed yesterday, and I lost another 1.5 pounds! I am really encouraged. I am averaging two pounds a week on WW, while taking medication that could cause weight gain. Thank goodness it is finally working for me. It has been such a long haul---and I definitely have a long way to go. But I really try not to think about that. I am finally back to where it says on my signature. I am going to just keep going on WW. I swear if I can finally do it, anyone can.

I see my nurse-practitioner on Thursday. I hope she has some ideas. I am really getting discouraged. I can tell something physical is causing me to feel so down and exhausted. So I don't know if it is side-effects from what I am taking, what I am taking isn't working, or it is something else entirely. I so need to hear about people who have really recovered from depression/anxiety. I KNOW it is possible. Meanwhile, one day at a time. Have a blessed day.

[marbleflys]

Congrats Kathy!!!! I know the loss perked you up!

My doctor has me do "exercises" in the real world to combat panic/anxiety....For instance I tell her what I'm fearful of....discuss it with her, she tells me some reality, then I go out and practice her theory. For instance, I have this deep-set notion that I can't go to certain places because I may "see" someone that upsets me....(even now, this sounds like I'm a moron for this mindset, but it gives me great anxiety)....Yesterday, I got in my car and went into several of the "forbidden" stores.....and guess what? NOTHING HAPPENED, I just bought items and it was a normal experience. When I returned home, I thought, what the *$%!@*&! was I afraid of? Yeah, and it took me 6 weeks to do this exercise.....

I also get "Sunday Night Anxiety".....where I work myself up about what MIGHT happen at work, how much I have to do, will I forget something. and be embarrassed..... I've learned to recognize what triggers this and use different tactics. It results in less stress and more sleep for me. But if I can't shake it, I take 1/2mg of Ativan.

hello ladies.Sorry this is the first time I got a chance to post today.I have been cleaning and cooking dinner. I made cabbage rolls and with the leftover mix I made meatloaf so Dh can make sandwiches for when he goes to school all day.He has never had a cabbage roll so I thought it would be something new to try. I love them and I love making them.Its been years since I had some though.

*hugs*
