Laura that is just insane I have new health insurance, it is GHI and I need referrals for everything, even my fill next week. What a PIA but, my co pay is only $10 and no premiums so I'll do what they want. And for the first time in years, I have vision, maybe i can get my eyes fixed so I can see.

Hi gals, just a quick check in. I am such a mess, cravings, tom... blah blah blah. I have ice cream every month but I found Eddy's Samoa's 1/2 the fat, I had a huge bowl, feel like crap and actually threw the rest of it away! I have a bowl every night of plain, no sugar eddy's and never feel like I do right now. I am going to do liquids tomorrow, have to get rid of the bloat, dr appt tues! night all Laura. holy smokes, you are as crazy as me sometimes. oh and just to make you a little crazier about the pt.... i have been 5 times, with 2 children and all 5 times... pt was not positive until i was 10 weeks! yes almost 3 months. I should have bought stock in EPT. LOL

Laura I am feeling the same way, I have lost most of my restriction and I am craving stuff. Hot stuff. I put cyane pepper and hot sauce on almost EVERYTHING. I am only on my 2nd fill and long overdue. I am so tired like you, so my exercise is slacking. I just got a notebook, I'm making a list and checking it off as I do stuff, maybe to get it together again.

This is a really pretty time here, in the fall. I love CT, dbf use to drill there, in New Loundon (Mystic) area and then New Haven, which I loved the people but was a city that was not as relaxing. I am trying to get the courage to want to fly,

Kat - That is what dbf use to do at the RailRoad, then became supervisor and can't direct trains because of his short term memory loss he forgets what he does from one min to the next. I could borrow his tools. LOL I am sure you are fine!!!! but i see the concern to get to the bottom of it Well, I'm off to walmart to do some serious grocery shopping

Thanks for cutting me slack. LOL. Mentally I have so much going on it is consuming me. I do need an attitude adjustment. My head dr is not on my new insurance - I love her and really need to talk to her. As for job, at least I have one, it is just the hours. I am so off - I just need to find what works. My friend just joined the Y and she is going to do aqua aerobics with me 3 days a week starting Wed, so that will be good motivation. I need to get up and get in the shower at 6:30 every day so I get moving and not fool around then shower. I will figure it out this week. I am going to the library on Thursday and i'm going to get that book. I won't have ds with me and boy, he is just full of himself and I can't get much done with him.

You gals are doing so well, and I feel like I'm failing - honestly for the first time. I really hope that the fill works. this is only my 2nd one. I am so tired from working the hours i'm working that I'm not going to the gym like I should. I feel like I'm sleeping all the time. Maybe TOM is not helping but I was doing so great and now I'm just stuck. bouncing between 210-214, no higher no lower. It is just so frstrating while all you ladies are doing so well - i'm not moving. Well, on that happy note, I'm off to the grocery store to get a few things, tomorrow is big shopping day at wallyworld.

Welcome Kelly.... glad to have you with us.... Judy - that is a great idea to advertise a support group. We have one at the hospital I went to but it is the 2nd monday of the month and I can't always get there with cheerleading. I have been meeting people who want info and I am happy to help. I think that is a great idea. I would love to do a coffee shop type support group. OH WAIT....we are not suppose to drink coffee. LOL

Morning violets I got to sleep in, but a rough night of sleep. ds's eyes were stuck shut again in the middle of the night so when he got up to pee he freaked out and came in with me then was wide awake. Then my insane aunt came up at 7:30 to tell me she was leaving... WHY DO I CARE?????? then she woke up ds and he went down with his sister and I finally fell asleep. I am going to walmart in a few, I have been out of water for a week and need to get back on track. I feel like I've gaine 5lbs so I'm not going to get on the scale. I am going to do liquid diet tomorrow - but today is first real day of tom and I am sure that is part of it. I can't wait for my fill next week. I am anxious, I can eat a lot but I need to get a grip on things too. I need to get some egg beaters and things that I can throw together quickly when I'm in a hurry - and things I can have for lunch. ughhhhhhhhhhhh. I remember this is how I felt right before my 1st fill.

Kat. you look great and like you were having such a good time. and no ofense taken. I love him but he better shape up quickly. The stronger I get the closer I am getting to telling him to F' OFF... and trust me... i'm getting there. Remember me 6 months ago, obeyed everything i was told and told to do... NO MORE. My burn is only 2 weeks old and it is 10000 times better. I'll take a pic. I'm going to take some today when I get out of the shower. I have been using Mary Kay night stuff on it, it is full of vit E and other stuff, it is amazing. when you see how big it is and how good it looks, know that it was all blistered and full of green pus.... you will never know. I will have a small hole in my arm forever but if that is the worst that comes from that I'm happy.

Take it Tracy - you work hard for that 2.5lbs. next week... I am all over it. I have not been eating, stress is swelling me and I ran out of water and that is the only way i really drink enough. That is ok. at least TOM will be gone by my fill and I can get it under control. Ya know what is funny... usually I want chinese food... crave it... nope. kind of grosses me out, just thinking about it.

Morning gals I feel soooooooooooooooo much better today. PMS aparently didn't help my already explosive situation. And on top of that I don't have grocery money until tuesday so I have not had any fiber... so you know it has been 5 days and no potty. I'm dying. i know... tmi Tracy - my aunt is amazingly better. they think she might have had a mini stroke because she cant talk right, but she is sitting up and alert. I am going to see her tomorrow. 197... you are well into onderland.... you go girl. when I get my fill next week I'm catching up quickly.
