Good Afternoon,

Cathy, yikes that much rain??? don'tcha hate it... either you get to much or not enough. When do they say it will stop?

Sassy your back too ????????

After calling .. no lie 15 doctors, I finally found one that will look at my spine. I never knew it was so hard to find a spinal orthopedist. The first appt they had is Monday at 11 am... so I have to hang in there until then. uhhh. I have no pain killers left so I called my regular doc for more.. hopefully he will give me enuf until they find out why I'm hurting so much.

Anyway................. how is everyone today??? I've been eating like a pig.. think its my nerves and ya know... food will comfort my back OY VEY!!!! LOLOL

TGI almost Friday

[Stepping Out]

Just a quick hello before I go on my semi-weekly excursion..WAL MART!

Cathy: I saw your storm on the weather radar. Please save a little for us! The last storm fizzled..and we NEED the rain!

Tilly: I hope you're feeling better today!

CIN: Have a wonderful time with your grandkids!

Sassy: Hope you're having a good day.

Buddly: I get discouraged with my weight loss too Just don't let those Little Debbies call to you!

Leenie: I'm so glad you have a doctor's appointment set up. Pain is an eating trigger for me too..you'd almost think it would be the opposite. Just take care of yourself and let people take care of you!

Liz, JudoMom, Tippy, etc.

Hey Everybody.

Well tonight wasn't a good night...........at all. As I'm writing this I'm just and . Don't mean to bring anybody down, but I guess this is the Depression and Weight Issues, so probably the right place?

Anyways, won't go into too much details, but lets just say comments were made and my feelings were hurt, no totally crushed. I feel like I did when I was a little girl again and in school being made fun of again. Not a good feeling as an adult either I'm afraid.

It just makes me want to "hide" again. I "hid" away for many years, ashamed. I want to do that now.

Sorry to be so down, but I really can't help it. I fought it most the night at work so I wouldn't break down there.

Well thanks for listening.

My week has gone to heck in a handbasket. It's Friday already and me and my surroundings are a shambles! Talk about drifting in the wind. It feels awful!

So I'm seeking structure by making a list. Anyone with me?
At least 5 protein based feeds.
Get water.
Cardio
Weights
Clear the kitchen counters.
Declutter the living/dining room.

awww Leenie! *hug... I wish I could say something that would take that pain away for you!!!

SassyChick *hug... people can be so cruel. I heard an educational speaker once say, "When someone says something hurtful to you, you need to let them know it was hurtful. If they reply in some kind that they meant to, meant the remark, or try to shrug it off, you should say, 'It hurt' ". I told my kids that (they are grown now) and they used it with some success. Both of my kids were teased and harassed throughout school. I get so angry when I hear of things happening still, to them, to others. Just remember, People get their "self-esteem" through boosting themselves up by hurting others. Inside, they are hurting worse.

I hope everyone has a much better day!!

Good moring all!

What a caring and supportive group! I am new to these forums but have been dealing with depression for a few months now... and yes, it's the no-good self-imagine kind... YUCK!
I filled out the "bio" in the sticky and thought this would be a good place to start.
Cant wait to get to know everyone!!

[Leenie]

Good morning,

Sugarfreeprincess yes, you found a great little support group. Its so nice to meet you.

Sassy, hon, I'm sorry for what ever some one said to you to hurt you so much. It musta been pretty bad Just like JudoMom said... others need to put others down only to make themselves feel better.... sad for them isn't it. Try to look at that person and realize they need help. Now chin up girlie.. you are so above them and their comments. Feel better.

Judo, nice to see you lady. Yes I remember when you were going thru back problems. I've had problems my entire life but my gosh has it gotten bad this time. How are you and dd?

Susan your list is great!!! good for you for trying to take control...
I can join you but my list will be little... prob just watch what I'm eating, no snacking in between and water.

Joanne, well?? how did you do at walmart? I love love love shopping and i love going there finding new bargins.

No pain killers today... the doc's office didn't call in my prescription so I have to wait until tonight b/4 I can get them. I'm up and out of my chair every 10 minutes b/c of the pain. This stinks !!!!! but enuf complaining

Its a rainy day but they say tomorrow its supposed to be a beautiful fall day.

Any plans for the weekend from you chickies??? Nothing for me and i love it.

Hi Ladies. Well I'm doing okay. Not as sad as I was the other morning, but still not 100%. I think a lot of it has to do with me too. I think I'm going to ask my dr if I can be put back on my anti-depressants for a while as I'm feeling blue again. Could be S.A.D. (Seasonal Affective Disorder) or it could be hormones as I have PCOS and they have been raging lately.

I also have an appt with my gyn on Tues so I can ask her what she thinks as well. I know that I have the power to pull myself through this I just may need a little bit of help...........

Thanks everybody for your kind words and support. I know these people at work just feel badly about themselves and that is why they are doing it. One of them did appologize, the other did not. I just ignore him now.

Good Morning Gang

I hope everyone is feeling better And that this will be a better week for all.

Thankfully its warmed up here again, we had rain Friday, but its sunny today. B and C had Friday off from school. I have tons of cleaning to do as things have sort of slid. Hubby had to take off for work this morning so hopefully the girls and I will be motivated to do something. The rented movies need to get returned, so am planning on taking the recyling as well and that will clear out most of the mud room. And I really should let one of my "learner" drivers drive and get practice. (thank goodness I have another box of "natural haircolour" in the bathroom cabinet!! )
The scales have been nice and I'm finally seeing a move in the right direction, and little debbie is still in the cupboard, so things are good on that end

Welcome Sugarfree! looking foreward to getting to know you.


Anywho, I should get going and try and get something done. I just wanted to pop in and say Hi and that I'm thinking of you all.

Take care everyone and feel better
