Yes it is me. I know I haven't been posting but I am aways lurking. Just a lot going on. I am not doing good on my weight loss. We all know that most of us do not control our eating while stressed. But I am hanging in there. At my age and weight, job hunting stinks. We are starting the day off with heavy rain this morning. I hope it slows up when I have to leave for work.
Just dropped by to let my dear friends know I am still here. Just quiet.

Back at you girlfriend. We all know how life can be and how the stress of it can have it's toll on us. Just hang in there, you can make it.

Good Morning Ladies
Well the guys are still in bed. So I thought I would get on here for a few. Finally some sun is shining. May still have a chance for rain this afternoon.

Eleni Love the picture. I know what you mean about eating when stressed. I have done that myself. Right now I am trying to do other things. Reading, Leaving the house, talking on the phone. That helps some. Especially the leaving the house. But as soon as I get home. Then I get kinda down in the dumps. But I do feel better the couple of hours that I am gone. See my Uncle isnt doing very well. They are trying to get Hospice to come in. And I am having a real hard time dealing with this. I need to go see him. But am having a hard time about going to see him. And then my son graduated from high school Sat. And then in about a week and a half. He will be leaving to go to school. We will have to be on the road alot this summer. We are taking him back and forth. So he goes for a week. Comes home for a week. Then gone 3 weeks. Home 2-3 weeks. The gone another 2-3 weeks. Then he will be done. Then the job that he wants to get into. He will have to work out of town alot.
Well ladies I went to the Dr's the other day. And guess what she said you need to lose weight. I told her you know that I have been trying. But I just cant seem to lose. So now she is suggesting the ATKINS DIET. She said she thinks I need the protein. I told her. If I eat cereal and toast for breakfast. Within a hour or two I want something else to eat. But if I eat a slim fast bar, or some egg beaters with mushrooms and a little candian bacon I do better. So she wants me to try this. What do you ladies think. Like I told her. I am with food as a alcoholic is with alcohol. She said at least you reconize that. So I guess I am welling at this point to try anything.

FLGAL How are you doing. Have you been staying OP. I am sure you are doing great. I know that you will have a loss this week. We just had a weigh in on Tues. Was raining alot. And some of the creeks close to our meeting place was getting pretty close to coming out of their banks. So we didnt want to get flooded in. Was kinda glad. Was getting pretty foggy and I had been debating weather I was gonna stay or not. But I did have a loss. I lost 2 1/4.

SHERRI Hows it going. Sounds as if you love your job. That is great. Is Megan getting all excited about her party. I am sure she is. We have to go to a graduation party on Sat. Our neice graduated. Then next Sat we are going to have a little party for my son.

WENDY Hows the new job going. I am sure you are doing great. Have you went camping yet. I will miss going this year. But maybe someday we can get another camper and go again.

Well ladies I better get off here. I didnt mean to write abook. But at least I'm not crying anymore. Because I was when I first started. Thanks for listening.
I am thinking of everyone. Have a great day.
