1day at a time

Congratulations I am so happy for you when you get a minute post a pic.

You sound like my mom one minute at a time if I need thanks so much for all of your help i have never tried yoga but I would love to try some at home or at least the breathing exercises any suggestions? At my last job I could listen to calming relaxing music but not where I am know. Thank you for the advice as well.

Okay I am really worried about work taking time off i still have been eating too much i feel out of control I do exercise every day for at least 30 minutes. My Dr up my meds but I really want to do something else but no one is hiring

Apples - I'm so sorry for your loss. I will be praying for you and your family. Peas - sorry your dad had to postpone Chemo I hope the infection clears up soon

So can I just say I am doing the sweet stuff teo all the halloween candy and the peanut butter is my fav too oooooooooohhhhh Okay lets regroup we can do this. Back on track we go

I love your parents sun room it is so pretty. I am glad you are back home you you can rest your emotions and be with your son and hubby.

Orea -Iam so sorry you are having a terrible year. Hang in there and take it slow. We are always here for you.

Apples Love the house it is what I pictured your house to look like Okay so yes WC is so hard an depressing I let it get to me so much that i have started eating crap and feeling bad. I have changed so much in the last 3 months not caring and having panic attacks at work. The good thing is I am taking a vacation so I need to focus on myself I need to kick the caffeine and sugar big time So I am going to to the 5 day you guys have any other suggestions I plan on getting up in the morning each day and go walking at the mall Need to focus on myself again an focus on my tool. An find a healthy destracting habit to not think about food like cross stitch or something. Do you think after the 5 day I will probably not need a fill? Ever since I did not get a fill the last time I saw my doctor i think I need one

I work for a Pharmacy benefit manager for workers compensation. We deal with pharmacies and patient's everyday on their medication. We don't decide if a patient gets their medication thank goodness cause i would give everyone there meds. but it is very stressful dealing with sick patients and getting yelled at alot.

Janet - Furlough really? Are you in the insurance industry? So you get celebrated for your 30 years then they cut a day of pay that stinks well at least you have a job right?

That is awesome on the sweatshirt !! You must be so proud of yourself T

You know at Walmart and Target there sizes are way off I usually have to go way up on shirts for them to fit. It is crazy that every company has a different idea on what size should be. I swear if everyone can make a 16 the same it would be easy for us but NOOOOOOOO that is not how it works LOL My mom said she had some pants that were a size 12 when I was much much younger that are smaller than a size 12 today what the heck is that. No wonder we will ever be the same like we were in High school.

pr8453 How are you doing this week. Are you feeling better?

So I went shopping yesterday and got measured for some new bras I went from a 40DDD to a 38DDD I could not believe it I was like no way. Then I went to Lane Bryant for shirts and most were to big. OMG where do I shop now? I am in between stores. I tried Khoals and Dress Barn but could not find anything what a fun problem to have.

Apples - Love your pictures you look fabulous. Janet - That would have drove me crazy with the head games but I am glad it turned out great and they recognized you for all your hard work and dedication.

Sorry you had to give the kitties away they will get adopted real fast since they are kitties This board is awesome Janet is right we are all food addicts and we are such a big family we all talk, vent basically hang out with each other online. [ Laura - We are all here for you I am so sorry your family is going through this. I was really hoping they would be wrong. I am glad Nels is better. Just keep drinking so you don't get dehydrated. My love and prayers for you and your family.

We can do it Lets use are tool and go over this mental issue once and for all :scared2:

Thank to everyone for your suggestions and help. You are all right. It is a mental thing right now and no matter how tight i make my band all sliders will go through. So much stress and anxiety right now I want to scream. But I will take all your advice to heart and restart my eating over like I did in the beginning. That should help I just got to mental get over this hump.

Kimaly - You and I have the same problem we know what to do but can't get back in the mode and losing so slow I want another fill but I am not sure that will help. it is a mental game right now for me

I think my restrcition is okay I saw my Dr on the 28th and I did not get a fill but now i think need to call back and schedule another one. I am not sure of I should or wait till Jan when i see him again. Due to all of the not so good eating i am doing. What do you think if it was you going through this whoe you weight or not? Janet I just love talking to you and you have help me so much.

Joann Marie -Glad you are back the baby is so cute and getting so big Janet -Me too I am the same way. also I posted this while you were gone. But I need your advice "Things are going okay struggling with the 16 pounds I want to lose to hit my goal of 200. It scares me I guess cause i am self sabotaging. Eating and not exercising. And I have been very stressed at work." I need your help because I start to journal then fall way off the wagon. I was so stressed at work and had such an anxiety issue I had the Dr give me Xanax just to make it through. Too much to go through but I am dealing with troubles at work like you have described. I need another pep talk please

peas - I am so sorry about your Dad. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. On a lighter note you you great in the pictures with you family . Janet - OMG some one came in your house. That is so totally scary. At least they took stuff that you could replace and no one got hurt.

Charlene, Hang in there girl. I hope you can find an answer soon to your pain so you can move on in your journey.

I wish there was a way to forget and let it go. I do real good then bam I hit a wall and jump off the wagon so to speak.

Hey Pam, How are you doing this week? If you ever want to meet for coffee or something let me know we could meet at Starbucks or some place like that. If not it is cool we can just chat on here. Talk with you soon.
