Morning Everyone,
I thought since I actually have a bit of time at the office I can post early and give some personals
...It's been awhile.
Ubee You have always been my biggest cheerleader...you and Betsy. I really appreciate everything you've done for me since I started my journey and this thread. I am certain that because of you I haven't given up on my ultimate goal to be healthy and happy. I am a good person and deserve the best in life and I have you to thank for making me realize that. It has been a tough year with losing my friend and now my nephew, but I can assure you I've been through much worse and have come out ok...So I know I will be ok and I won't stop with this journey. I'd be a complete idiot if I stopped now! By the way...I have heard my whole life that I've wise beyond my years
....So you gave me a good smile when I heard it from you <3. Thanks for everything, I truly appreciate it.
Betsy I wanted to thank you too for everything you've done for me. You all have made me realize that life is short and I shouldn't let a few little set backs take me away from wanting to persue my one dream I've had for life...to lose weight and feel comfortable in my own skin. I hope the weather is nice for you today as you said the storms start rolling in this time of year. I know we've been going through some chilly days but then yesterday and today I think it's supposed to be somewhat warm. It irritates me because I love the cold and I'm so ready to be all bundled up in sweaters and scarves hehe =smile=.
Fi I'm sorry that the kitties are still not getting better. I think I'm going to have to take mine to the vet as well...I think they may be developing ring worm too
...My turtle however is very happy and healthy...She's a little piggy eating her greens and we still feed her baby pellets too...She's the cutest darn thing ever though
...I too know what you mean by going through the Geodon withdrawl. When I first started my journey I was feeling so great that I thought I probably didn't need th Geodon anymore so I slowly weaned myself off of it only to have a complete major break down from the withdrawls. I didn't tell DH that I was doing it until I had the break down. I just didn't want to have to take medicine to feel like myself...I didn't want to be the weird girl that has to take medicine to feel normal...DH also has depression issues and was so loving towards me during that time and told me it's ok to take medicine as long as you feel like you and it isn't hurting you. He's right so I still take it daily. I hope you get to feeling better soon and the kitties too ((((HUGS))))
Dean Where ya man? Missing hearing about the delicious coffee you're having for the day!
Silent I'm glad that you're back here with us....Keep posting and don't EVER feel like a fraud because you're not...We're here for you and even if you have an off day(s) don't worry about it. We will be here to help you pick up the pieces when you're ready.
Donna I am so glad to hear that everything went well with your gym session. It sounds like you've got a pretty good deal there. My gym is only $20 a month which isn't bad and it includes the gym, tanning, massage beds and chairs, and a red light therapy room. I wish they had a pool and classes but they don't. How are things going with DH's new job?
Bllondy Thanks for your kind words. It is nice to meet you. You have definitely chosen the right weight loss thread to join. Everyone is so nice and very helpful and encouraging here. I wish you well on your journey and am here if you ever need any support.
Jane I've missed you!! So glad you're back...Keep posting as often as you can and you'll be right back in the groove like you've done before...I know you can do this...Don't give up!!
Anticake I hope you and your boy enjoy Disney!! I've never been but would LOVE to go one day!!
Terra Hope you had a good day at school and your appointments went well!
If I missed anybody I'm really sorry but I think I covered everyone. Today is my typical day of work...I can't believe tomorrow is Friday already!! My mom's birthday is tomorrow, she's turning 51. She's having a party with her friends...I was invited but I'd rather just come visit on the weekend or something instead of being out at a bar that I've never been to with a bunch of people I don't know...I can already feel my social anxiety going through the roof just thinking about it. It's kind of grey outside...we may get some rain. I'm hoping it holds out so I can go on a walk when I get out of work. Hoping I can get DH to come along too. He's been going through a lot these past couple days...Lots of depression. He was abused as a child and he told me a lot that I didn't know about last night...We had a good cry session and I think he felt good getting it off his chest. I told him I'd always be here and he could tell me anything. He has really been thinking about telling his whole story through a video or a book. He knows that it will more than likely alienate him from his family but I think if it is going to make him feel better and become the person he's always wanted to be then I think he should go for it and I'll be there to support him every step of the way. I've gone through my own troubles of abuse, rape and abandonment growing up so I had to grow up fast and be an independent person at a very early age. I could never imagine going through the things he has though and it just breaks my heart that someone could what they did to him.
On a lighter note...I've been taking these little packets of crystalized lemon called True Lemon and putting them in hot water and drinking several cups throughout the day to stay warm and getting my water in. I've heard lemon is really good with detoxing the body and things of that nature. Maybe it will even aid in my weight loss! That would be so cool if I actually noticed a difference from it. I started on Monday and it's been a nice change instead of plain cold water. I've still been drinking 1-2 cups of coffee in the morning but I could possibly stop the coffee in the near future if I wanted to. I don't think 1-2 cups of coffee with a bit of creamer is bad and one of my guilty pleasures that I don't really feel bad about.
Anyway, I gotta head back to work. The boss should be back from taking a test for her life license soon. I hope everyone has a great day...stay OP and happy and healthy! We're all in the same boat and can break free of the same old thing....Big love to everyone!
