Good morning to all. It is good to see Nita and Marie posting again.
Marie It is great you have a new chapter started. As far as I am concerned it only takes 2 or 3 to makes a chapter. I don't know how many TOPS says it takes. But it is great you are so involved.
Nita ,You are going great. It is nice you DIL is doing so good but I am sure I will be there when you on that stage yelling as loud as I can.
Wendy: Thanks for kick but I don't think it will help me much as I kick myself daily. But you are doing good. I will check out the top 10. I was over there looking at their message boards which has greatly improved.
This is my home but it doesn't hurt to visit other sites.
I went to my grand-daughters ball game yesterday. I will wait til it cools off before I go to another one. It was so hot and I got sunburned on my left arm. But she was thrilled that I came.She did not know I would be there. Grand-children are great. We are always special to them. It is like that bumper sticker. "If I had known grandchildren would be so much fun,I would have had them first!:
I am still doing badly. I wish I could have just stayed in bed all day. Anything I do hurts in someway. Yes I know that is one of signs of depression. But I am up and thanks to hot shower am moving. My body will not allow me to do things I want to do. Even simple things that some people take for granted.
Ok I am going now. Hope everyone has a good weekend.

Eleni,

That is great that you can do things with your grandkids. Enjoy them while you can.
Try tomorrow for another start and sooner or later it will work. You will do what you need to do to reach your goal. Always remember that I am in your corner pushing you and cheering for you. We have to stick together.

Nita,

I can't believe that the hollywood diet is so much there. It is only 19.95 here. What a difference in price. If you are not going to use the coupon can you send it to me. I would really appreciate it. I haven't even seen it advertised here on tv or anything. But I know it works. My husband is down one pant size in 3 weeks. He is doing much better with the eating between times then I am that is for sure. That is great that you are going to get back to WW. I know that works and I have to get back there myself. When do you leave for your trip? This week right? Have fun anyway.

Marie,

Welcome back. That is great that you have some people in your new group. It takes a lot to start a new group I am sure so more power to you and maybe it will keep you motivated.

Wendy,

Thanks for the kick in the butt and I am using it to start my new journey tomorrow. I have to do this and I know I can. I have all the support I need right here.

Okay for me. I had a terrible weekend. I wanted to do good. But I do believe I am depressed because of my size again. I went to my parents 40th anniversary party yesterday and had to dress up. I am working on the road now 2 days a week and need to dress up for that also. We (megan and I) started going back to church today. Which means I have to dress up for that to. Ladies I have no clothes that fit me anymore. It is so depressing and I did this myself. I can't wallow in it at all . I am going to start over again tomorrow. I am going to have a loss this week if it kills me. I can't have another gain. I have to get my confidence up again and be stronger. It just seems so much harder this time. But I really haven't had the time for me either and that doesn't help. I try and take a relaxing bath and I end up with megan in there with me. That is not relaxing let me tell you.LOL But it is quality time with her.
I have to start being true to myself again and I am going to start taking it min. by min like wendy said and yelling at myself again. I can do this. I have done it before and I will do it again. So for all of those that are starting over again tomorrow if we keep trying to start over we are bound to make it to our goals as long as we don't give up. I gained 1 lb at weigh in on thursday. So I have to have a loss this week to keep going. I am going to take it slow and just try to get back to me and start listening to me again. I have to slow down the life around me and start focusing on me again. That is how I did it last time. Life and the weeks have been flying by without notice and they have to slow down again. I have been working more but I have to do that. But at least I can say I count for something. And hopefully in another week I will feel better about me. I really don't like myself now but that attitude has to change I know because I won't lose weight unless it does. So tomorrow is another start day as eleni would say. Here's to a great new day for all of us struggling. Remember we are struggling together and sometimes that is easy to forget.

Have a great week everyone and I will be here tomorrow to check in.

Love and support,

Sherri
