Hello everyone...

Life is good here. School started here on Wed., and so far I have a wonderful class! I hope they stay that way. I ate more yesterday than I have in 2 weeks. I'm not sweatin it. Did better today so far. I hope to walk later. I ate some salted pumpkin seeds yesterday and I am bloated! Won't do that again!

I can't wait to get in my own place, my family is driving me bonkers! As they say you can never go home again...

Well, i guess this is the last you will hear from me until after the server move...everyone have a great weekend!

I am back had a wonderful time. Melody hang in there make sure that he is kept at a distance for a while before you let him back. if this happened when he was under stress what will happen next time???

I have got to get to bed so i can get back with the program starting in the morning with exercise.

Night all good to be back and see every one. even if it is just melody and pat. I know you others are luring in the back ground!!!

Melody........ I fell victim to the begging and pleading twice. It rarely changes. For a short while yes but long term it is such a tiny percentage. But what ever you do we will be here for you. One thing I learned the hard way was when you close a door , never open it again. For years i have always remembered what a great therapist said to me.... If you take one step forward and two back you will always find yourself exactly where you started or worse. I found out she was oh so right! You know what, you have to do and learn in this life whatever you have on your agenda and while I would always hope to keep others from repeating the mistakes I have made but we each have our path and I for one usually learned the hard way and believe me I found out I am far from alone in that. Right now this is still new for you and you are still breaking away. If he had waited and called you begging a couple of years from now you would laugh and totally blow it off. I know from personal experience. You would think he had lost his mind but they don't wait . You hit while the iron is hot and you are still feeling weak and a bit lost.
They know that so well. Whatever you do we are here for you come what may and congrats on the weight loss! Good Going!!!

Hey all,
It's nice to see people back from the things we do.
Pam I love that advice the therepist gave you, how simpley true. As peoepl we get so comfortable with things, even things that aren't the best for us. That we would rather be comfiratyble than to risk the discomfort of change that we keep doing teh same things over and over agin. For me currently eating. buying a house, changing carreers. The list is endless.
Sue glad to see you!!!
Melody Hi and hugs
Terri!
Well lets see. This week.
I need to get my eating under control.
I may start a goal thread challenge thing this week

Hi girls I will check in later i have to get dinner ready!!

Did my gallon and in fact a little more. I am doing just fine. It is rather quiet here. I relish the calm quiet times because they usually do not last long. The most recent excitement here was our Nicky having babies .....6 babies. She had a hard time and she will be fixed after this. I tried to keep her from having babies and the morning she was scheduled to go in , she disappeared days later she came back. It had happened once before and she did not get bred. I was hoping.... it seemed like I could reschedule for her to get fixed and then I looked at her and said to Mom , you know what I do believe this girl is pregnant! Hubby didn't notice and I didn't tell him until about two weeks from her delivery. So now we have two of the most beautifuuly marked calicos, two ginger(orange) babies, one black and pale gray stripped( his face is strickingly marked) and one black and white with pale stripes but the legs are clearly stripes. They are adorable.

Pam they sound cute!! I am afraid that my cats will be the same way they try desperatly to get out. and succeed many times.

I had a long day OT so i am off to bed.

Meldoy how are thing going with you?? just thinking of you today. and hope all is going strong with you. sending good vibes over.

Pam i will send my cat down to you OK?? actually both of them they are loves but they get to tied up in the house mess to get the love they need to behave. kids are too busy and so am i. I know cats are independent but they also get angry at peole and do things that theys hould not do. like pee on my papaers and in my plants. i think they have a case of worms, their stool stinks so it is off to the store to bus some stuff for them but i will have to wait till it's open and i am not working.

For me I am OP more out of need than anything else. if I do not have it i can not eat it. I love working as i am too busy to eat wrong. and i feel so successful that the bills are getting paid slowly but getting there just the same. it is a strain to get to the gym to exercise i have been getting there late so i do not have time to exercise much but i am working on that. (hense the early day today.)

Hi all,
How are things going?
Things are the same here. We looked at "the house" again Mon.
night. there is still another couple ahead of us. I am home today to do some phone stuff. Where does the time go? I am also expecting a housefull on Sat. And as I have said before family stuff stinks. And then add in teh in-laws. It can really suck the fun out of things.
Sue in what kind of nursing situation are you in? All they talk about up here is a nursing shortage how are things your way?
Pam how is your mother? Your back holding up?
Melody how is school going?
Terri how are you?
Well I hope to get alot accomplished today

I am at the 3 day strugle but feel very strong here. I passed a plate of cookies that was waved under the nose for about 3 min!!! and i smelled and smelled and smelled but just licked my lips and smelled again!! wiped the drool then smelled again!!!

Well Pat......I thought so until this afternoon and then I blew my back yet again. I can't stand up straight and as long as I don't move much, cough, sneeze, go to the restroom,look the wrong way, step wrong, or breathe to hard I am fine. When I wake up who knows what will happen. After a nights sleep well, your gyess is as good as mine so if I am missimng for a day or so you will know why. Mom is doing ok. Sue Bee, If I could I would help you with those furry children but I have my hands full!!! Well, I must go and stretch out and pray this problem is eased. I made homemade spaghetti. Out Hubby's dinner in the microwave, his lunch prepared for tomorrow and about two quarts of sauce put in the freezer. Cleaning the kitchen was just about more pain than I could handle but the sucker is done! I am off to rest this stupid back.
Pam

Pam just hang in there. you are doing so great that i am in pain to know that this has happened to you again!!!

hold on tight to your diet during this (I Know y9ou have done great with this) so just keep thinking fo me during thistime.

Don't you worry Sue Bee....I am being the bestest girl!!!!LOL
I am focused I make sure of it on a daily basis no matter what is going on I take that time for me to do, read, research or whatever concerning my weight loss. Every day with out fail. So far so good.
