Glad to hear from ya Ruby. I think that i totally shot today out of the water. Ok the homemade cookies that someone brought to work wasnt on my plan at all but i guess that one or two wont hurt. Tomorrow will be better I know it will.

sandy,

look at this way: be proud you only ate 1 or 2 vs. the the whole thing right? good job!

i did well today. ate about 1200 cals and got the h20 in and some exercise.

wassup ruby?

Hey there y'all. Christmas depression is setting in. HELP!!!!!!!! I think that I get so down this time of the year casue I feel so helpless about all that is goin on in the world around me. There are some many things that I would love to do to be able to help out many but in the end due to work schedule and other things that are beyond my control I just end up feeling helpless. Which in the end leads to depression. Ok time to cheer up one way or another. So how is everone doin?

gig, cheer up!

Hey,
Just so ya know I've been posting replies over on "xmas challenge 1" instead of here. Are we doing both threads or just one? Guess it doesn't really matter. Just so everyone knows I'm responding...somewhere!

wassup ruby? hows it goin? i thought we were only doin the chall. 1 thread, but it doesnt matter as long as you guys are subscribed to these threads, are you? i am. gimme a shout& lemme know how its goin ok? i did well yesterday. did my exercise& ate aboiut 1400 cals.

wassup sandy?

Good for you on the exercise and eating right. My eating is almost where it should be. I think that I have gotten those depression demons under control. Colored my hair this morning to cheer me up. I have worked so many hrs lately that my exercise has fallen by the wayside but i have made my vow to pick it back up in the moring. The crud that I had made work exhausting and my energy level is almost back there and I am ready to get jiggy with it.

thanks sandy. you can do it! today was a close call, but i made it through. wassup ruby?

Hey there ladies. I think that I finally got a handle on the depression so maybe I will be able to make the scale budge. Glade that you made it throogh your close call, I am still strugglin but it is gettin better every day.

thanks sandy. hang in there. im feelin very depressed today. im in a lotta pain, am very tired& not motivated to do anything.

wassup ruby?

You made it thur. I have to make some sweets for people and I think that I ahve done pretty well only had 2 peices of what I have made. Today has been good so far gettin my water in. The exercise isn't on my list until this flair up with endo goes away. Keep on loosing. Hugs

Andrea you sound like you're having such a bad day. I really understand that. Give yourself some time to rest up & hang in there they always pass. And don't forget how well you've been doing lately! Stay positive, we're here for ya!

Sandy I'm glad to hear you made it through that rough time yourself. It's so hard not too fall into funk around the holidays.

I've been doing pretty good. Well actually I've been a little sloppy with my eating lately, meaning I've been sneaking a little of this and that here and there. Peppermint ice cream very well could be the end of me! It's fine tho, I can control this. I'm still exercising and drinking water like a fish.
Well take care.

thanks ruby. im really upset. i binged. and the sad part is, is i was so medicated, i dont even remember it except i feel sick now i more depressed

Hang in there Andrea it's just one day. The most important thing is that you're able to move on from it. And you can! I hope today you can do just 1 positive thing for yourself to make you feel better. Afterall that's where it all starts- the small steps. Let me know how it's going today if ya get a chance. & Take Care

How are you doing Sandy?

Hey there all. I think that we all need this about now. Ruby thanks for asking I am making by being careful and doin baby steps. So how are you doin there girl? Andera, how's it goin for you? I have decided to take this challenge futher and see if I can loose 20 by Valentines day. That's mine and tool mans anv. I think that I can, who knows maybe I will get on a roll and loose more. Ruby I understand about the ice cream I love Baskin Robbins winter white chocolate and it is only out this time of year. But I know that you can do it I have faith in you.

Hugs to you all.
