1day at a time

So I had a frighting day at work Fri. A man call threating me about some product he gave my owner that I guess he had not been paid for. The problem was I was all alone and afraid he was going to come to the building. I knew what he looked like because he was talking to my boss earlier in the day. However my boss never told him he was leaving for the weekend and was not coming back till Monday. Good thing I had my large knitting needle and my cell phone just in case. I looked out the front two windows which show both ways of getting into the parking lot so I could lock the door just in case but he never showed up. I have to say I was never so glad to see the workers show up about 45 mins later. My office is not in the best part of town which normally I do not worry about cause there is someone always with me. Since then I have applied for 3 other jobs. Oh and to make other matters worse I was supposed to get insurance after a month is what my boss said then I found out Thursday I will not get it unitl Jan. we can not afford 3 more months of 1300 cobra I say 3 cause we have not paid this month yet. I even looked into putting my son on Peach care however that is based on income. Not sure what I am going to do yet.

Hi all I use purple. Peas - I miss being in Fl and having a pool. Now I have to pay to go to the pool Which is sad since I used to have one. So I had a frighting day at work Fri.

The book is called "5 Day Pouch Test" I bought the book along time ago but you can google it and find the site. It is a way for you to get the carbs and sugar out of your system. It is like doing all the stages when you first get the band but in 5 days

Awesome I am so proud of you. !!!! Congrats WTG

General Question - How can I get my font type and color to stay for each post? I manually change it however I changed it I thought in ,my settings but maybe in the wrong spot. - Any suggestions

TX - I agree with Laura K. You are not supposed to have a last meal per se however some of us did.

Thank You everyone for your thoughts prayers and encouraging words. You are right I can turn this around Baby steps.

Julie - that has to be hard to live with someone who is a junk food junkie. I guess my DH has phases sometimes he has gone on Junk food shopping sprees to replenish his stash for the most part the stuff is in a drawer in his office but others are in the fridge or cabinet. Sometimes I don't even care its there and other times I think about it. Cheri - Thank you for your advice alot of it make sense and you gave me alot of information to digest. I guess physically I want to be where I was when I was 17 - 18 playing soccer and loving being active now I am the exact opposite. I am 34 and feel fat and ugly. I had lost 60 pounds and now regained some. I go to my Diabetic Dr this week she will not be happy with me but it is my grave I am digging and I got to get my head around this to STOP!!!

So still having issues I need to get refocused i bought some stuff to make one of the Soup I liked in the 5 day book I also already had shakes I just need to get by brain regrouped I go to the diabetes dr thurs and she will not be happy with me. Also my son is going to start wrestling and I figured I could run/ walk when he runs each day. My mom with out knowing made me feel bad and said it would be bad for me to run because it would be bad for my joints and I have not worked out in a while. I am 34 not 60 that hurt me.

Hi Everyone Welcome Neen glad to have you. I am still having a problem with the sweet thing I have alot of sf pudding but still can't stop the junk I of course still want the crappy stuff my husband is being weird he will say something about me spending all the money on the band and sometimes makes little comments and then bring home chips and Peanut Butter and choc and all kinds of crap of course the stuff I like. Ugggg men I don't get it sometimes. I need to help myself but I feel stuck and I am paddling backwards. Also you all know I started working for a small employer family own. For the last two days the husband and wife have been egging each other on. To tell you the truth I love working for the husband the wife is nasty remember she is the one that smokes in the bathroom we share. Oh and so no one gets any ideas the couple is in their mid 60's. Even though you might have to point the husband on the right track through out the day meaning he can talk for an hour and forget what he was orginally talking about she on the other hand talks to me like I am stupid and wonders why I am nice to everyone on the phone, Hello?? what is that. I actually watched her be two faced to someone today. When the guy called she was so nasty to him (I can't really go into why but it stems from something she was mad at her husband about) however when he came in she was smily and sneaky with him. Go figure its a job right not really stressing anymore about the job it is what it is and if I am meant to be there for a short time or a long time God will guide me. I am trying to give those thoughts up nothing I can do about it.

Your welcome !! Thank you for your information

Thanks for understanding I just wish he would listen when I say to stop it.

LOL - the the Here's my sign reference was too funny

"Thanks, Jodi, for the booklet from e-diets with tips on eating out. It will be in my purse." Jodi -is this something I can find on ediets or can you post it or email it to me. I wanted to look at it.

Hey shrinknme glad to here from you and I can't believe the baby way 10 months ago. My sister is pregnant and is do 12/7 can't believe I thought she was never going to have a baby she always said she did not kids now she has gotten older and of course that changed. Also She found out that her really good friend is one month behind her which is great for both of them,

Hi all job is good it is getting there. My band has calmed down so now I do not have to go to my Dr. Yeah!!!

Oh that is what I thought but wabted to make sure. Thank you for the advice

Awesome on the purple Dragon WTG Nels

No unfortunately popcorn is not a propblem but if you get the small snack bags it is not to bad in calories and it can solve the crunchy craving. I seem not to have a problem with anything crunchy

I am feeling better but my band still has good and bad days but much better than it has been. I never knew you could get Liquid Ibuprofen for adults, I only see Tylenol. Or do you by the kids one. Just wondering. I am going shopping today so I will have much more band friendly things in the house. i usually do shake or yogurt in the morning. Soup for lunch which is easier to make at work and then I have whatever I make for dinner. But I have jello. pudding, popcorn, applesauce for snack if needed. I just need to workout not much of that going on. It is nice outside but where I work is not a good area to walk so I started driving over to this indoor pool I like and reading my book and eating my soup in my car. There parking lot is big so I think I am going to start walking there at lunch.

Jewel - Can I say I have the same problem with beating myself up and not looking at my success. I think that is why I am stuck (in my head anyway) You are doing great in school I am so proud of you. Once they figure out the right mg. Jacob will be fine, I am glad he is doing better. Peas - I can't believe Nelson is a purple belt. It seems like he was a white belt yesterday. Tell him Congrats for me. Also I am glad you like working at the clinic. Chris - welcome to our board eating out came be difficult but you can do it. The first part if liquids so you will most likely going to have to bring a cooler with you. They have some that plug into your car so they stay cool and you would not have to worry about ice packs or anything. But you have a while to even think of that. Congrats on getting a date and I wish you a transformation journey and we are all here for you.

I really like them all as well. Just every time they go on a trip it is when something happens in my life and I have to cancel. But one day we will all meet. :thumbup:
