Hi all,

My son, Justin, is doing better today (he's the one with pneumonia). He is really good at letting me sleep when I need to - I guess because he has been dealing with my depression for over four years. If I stop and think about it, I feel so sorry for him - no nine year old should have to worry about this. But maybe it is meant to be and is going to make him a better person. I know he is a very caring child and, as someone once told me he is an "old soul".

Besides my lack of sleep I am finding it difficult because of the loss of routine. I am one who needs her routine but so far I am not letting it beat me. Tomorrow my husband leaves for three days so any adult contact will be gone!

I'm just going to deal with today now and deal with tomorrow when it comes.

Talk to you later,
Suzanne.

Hi Gals,
I sat in the sunshine for 20 minutes today.who knows I may get tan recovering from surgery. I was hoping for some Vitamins from the sun!

News flash!!! I drove my car topday all alone to Kroger.bought a couple things and came home and took a nap. Sure felt good!

Later

Hi all. Today is not so great. Having the kids 24/7, homeschooling and being a single parent right now is getting to my nerves. I need a break!!! The constant noise, talking, fighting, instruments, etc is wearing on me. I started crying earlier just because I felt so aggravated, but had to swallow it down because it's not the kids fault. I don't want to snap at them just because I'm having a hard time. But day after tomorrow my sister is taking them for a few hours. If I can just make it until then....

Anyway, had to get that out. Talk to you all later.

Hi ladies! sorry my posting has been sporadic but I get to the computer when I can these days. DH went to the gym with me last night and I actually had a good workout. It was upper body day so I could actually do all of the machines! I even did 10 min on the bike and a few laps in the pool.

Cathy- my Pt is going good, It gets a little easier every day. The surgeons office called today and got all of my info and let me know they're setting up my pre-op tests. I'm glad you found a shirt that works, and at a good price!

Suzanne- I'm glad your son is doing a bit better. THat's good. I am sorry you're struggling right now. Just hang in there and know you aren't alone. We are here for ya.

Cin- WTG!! A drive and walk to boot! A tan? what's that? My body hasn't seen sun in years! It sounds like you're doing great!

How's everyone else today? Well I'm off. I need to shower and go get dD so I can come home and make dinner. DH is meeting me at the gym again tonight! TTYL

Hi Girls, sorry I can't play, I'm so busy I will try to read up and post more tomorrow... love yah !!

Hey everyone... I'm jumping in on here! Nice to "meet" you all! I'm new to dieting, and starting an uphill battle. I get depressed quite a bit and have a very low self image, and my weight only adds to that. I want to lose about 30 Lb's....the weight I gained the past few years due to the many medications I've been on. I hope to get to know you all better!

Hi everyone, I'm Neroli, from New Zealand. I have suffered from depression since the birth of my last baby two years ago. I have 4 girls and the Father of the 2 little ones recently left me and moved in with someone he met online. I ended up in hospital and he applied for custody of the girls. Have just finished that battle, which thank goodness I won. I hear the best revenge is living well, so I'm taking the opportunity to get rid of the 50kg!!!!! I have put on over the last 2 years.
Hope to get to know you all better.
Best wishes Neroli
