hey guests....why dont you join us? we wont bite, well, at least not at first :tongue2:

Good morning everyone! For the past month or 2 I had stopped taking my celexa and trazadone at night and just took celexa in the morning and stopped taking the other. I just did not like the idea of taking 2 pills, weird i know. Anyway, since then I have tossed and turned at night and not gotten any really good sleep. So I switched back and took them both last night and slept like a baby. Guess I will just have to be dependent on pills. I hate that. But would rather that than the alternative...a complete mental breakdown, lol. a few of you got to witness that in the other thread a while back. I weighed this morning and it was 5 pounds less than i thought. :tongue2: I am relieved. So we have a week and a half of school left. I had said macys last day was the 4th but it is really the 3rd. After one week, she will be completely bored and ready to go back to school. She will drive our cat bonkers. Actually, our cat Lucy LOVES her. I have never seen a cat fetch, lol. The cat has such a good temperment. She doesn't run and hide from dd. When she is all played out she just gets off macys lap and lays next to her. :smile: Too cute. OK, I have bored you all enough... OH..Michelle.... i was going to get her other books too. Which one are you starting with? Kat-are you going to do WW? Suzanne-how often do you go to WW for a weigh in? Have a fantastic day everyone!!! Be nice to yourselves!

Ya know Kat, I have figured out what my fears are...and they are valid fears, at least to me they are. Now it is just learning what to do now to calm the fears, or face them. WW and the band and low carb...they will all work, but be undone again if I can not figure the head part out. Guess if I figure it out I could seel the rememdy and make a fortune! lol

Michelle-i prefer to look at is not as much as a failure but a HUGE lesson learned on my part. If I look at it as another failure I would eat a bullet. I can not stomach another failure. Just use ME as an example of what NOT to do. I remember going back up to 190 and thinking it was doom & gloom. Stop it there...you can do it! I wish I would have, but I got this sense of omg, what now and I guess I threw my hands up. Please do not do that to yourself, k? :thumbup: Cut your self some slack, dust yourself off and do what you need to do. (look whos talking, right?) Take it from me, I know how you feel.

Kat just reminded me of something i need to do...sweep the patio (and the porch). BUT, as luck would have it (here go the excuses) it is the hottest part of the day and I will just have to wait until this evening. :thumbup:

Good mornin' everyone! I need to bite the bullet and get on the scales and see what i have done to myself....but i mean lets face it, anything i see is not a good thing so...how bad can it be. pffttt. I put down my book but i really need to pick it back up. I vow to do that very thing when I am done with this post. Funny...i read something that makes total sense and I put the book down because (i guess) I dont wanna hear it....self sabatoge at its finest. :laugh: I sent Jenn a text yesterday. She said that yessterday was her first Saturday off in a month and she was getting some things done. I miss her. I will bug the crap out of her until she posts. lol :smile: Well, tis the season for light bills to skyrocket! Mine went up almost a hundred dollars....and it isnt even JUNE! Scary thought. This big house we moved into (for nothing now) is going to be the death of us on light bills...i can see it now. I need to walk around the house and unplug everything we do not use. I saw that tip on a talk show. If something is plugged in...even if it is turned off, uses electricity. :thumbup: OMG....my phone just rang and now i do not remember what i said OMG for. Its hell getting old. lol Kat-I hope you get some rest soon. Glad Ricks schedule is almost back to normal again. I had so many things to say and now i can not remember one of them. :smile2: Have a great Sunday everyone!

:smile2: you are a homewrecker? :thumbup: :laugh:

Michelle-the book is Women Food & God. I love it! Cindy-look at the smile on her face! Love it!

Everyone have a great day! About to bring dd to meet my sister half way so she can spend the night. YAY! I will post later today! Whatever you all do , be good to yourselves and BE CAREFUL!

Hope all is going well with Kats MIL & FIL

Peggy (at least it wasn't Eileen, lol) and Monte and Mal & ARD...you guys are cracking me up with these names! lol :party: BP....wow such a great company with their name being dragged through the mud. Yes it was a BAD accident...but all the finger pointing needs to stop and everyone needs to just help getting the leak fixed and the clean up done instead of all the yack yack yack. The other day I actually heard someone on the Today show say, "they need to stop drilling in the Gulf of Mexico". Ummm, ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I am sure it IS a good idea for someone that probably does not have a car and walks everywhere they go but....lol, come on! She has no comprehension of what she said. I guess I am just touchy on the subject because that (drilling & production) is the lifeline to workers on the coast, not to mention BP is the top producer of Oil & Gas in the US. I am just glad they capped their liability $ otherwise they may not have recovered from this. Still may not. The last thing we need is to be more dependent on foriegn oil. ugh, makes me sick. OK...I am done....sorry for that Kat-macys 75 year old 'pop' rides the rides with her at the carnivals, lol. They have a BALL. Let us know how it goes with MIL today! Angela-we lived in Dickinson. I miss it. Good for you on the house! That is awesome. Thanks to dh EX wife, we will prob never be able to buy one, but at least renting, if we do not like it after a while, we can move! lol Michelle-how are you? Are you healing well? Suzanne-did you hear our advice? We love you! We want you to take care of YOU! Cindy-i am not scrolling back, so how many days left now? :mad2: Bethany....are you still with us? What have you been up to? Jennifer....I guess I will have to TEXT your booty! You can run but you can not HIDE! :tt2: Hello everyone else! :cursing: Have a great day (God I hope I did not leave anyone out, if I di, it was not on purpose). (((((((((((hugs)))))))))))

Suzanne-I hate to sound like your sister BUT, you DO need to schedule a mammogram. OK? Angela-nothing particular scheduled for the summer. We are going to be at the library a couple of times a week. We had a pool at the townhouses we lived in but now we are not there so....i dont know. Glad my mom and sister have pools, at least macy can swim there I will prob bring her to the city pool too. Kat-i also like the Jesus comment. I'll bet it shut them right up!

School lets out here the 4th of june...they only go half day that day. I will be happy to not set an alarm :laugh:

Good morning everyone! I still have not watched the biggest loser yet. I need to this morning before i accidentally see it online. I need to pick my book back up and read more too. DH has been on his days off so I have been eating crap i shouldn't AND I have not been reading. :thumbup: I have to admit I did pretty well with my eating yesterday. Could have been a little better but for the most part I am happy with myself. I can tell dh is in a bad mood this morning. Maybe it is because he goes to work this afternoon :laugh: OOPS, wrong one....:drool:. Now, thats better....:thumbup: Have a great day friends....be nice to yourselves. Suzie, you are in my prayers! Kat...I will be praying for you and your family as well!

I am glad Cindys was the last post....I have not watched biggest loser yet...lol. I better go watch it before I see a spoiler :w00t: I will post again later. Have a great day everyone!

JENNIFER!!.................... YOOOHOOOOO, where are youuuuuuu????

MY kind of day :tongue2: We needed it really bad too! Just dont like when it is so bad you get the scrolling warnings on the TV! It hailed here yesterday evening! Just little pellet size but still!....:scared2: If you havent noticed by now....I am back! :tt2: We had the BEST time. Not coming home rich but we are not poor either so that is a good thing! Today is the day we have to get rid of our male cat. He will be rehomed somewhere....hopefully the lady that used to be our neighbor will take him. She feeds all the neighborhood cats and I am sure she will LOVE him. Keep your fingers crossed. I am SO sleepy this morning. My hip and right leg are giving me fits too. After I drink my 2nd cup of coffee I may be able to swallow a pain pill. I will try. Today seems like Monday to me sice we just got home yesterday. I am all screwed up now. I think I will take my meds and go back to bed. I will holla at you all later. Its good to be back!

Good Sunday morning! :redface: Wow...been up since 5 AM. Won't say doing what but let me just summarize by saying that dh is benefiting from my reading this book as well. lol Anywho.... I think we are going to end up giving away one of the 2 cats we recently got. Lucy is a sweetheart but Frank (the other cat) is too skiddish. He is a loner. He needs to be with a single person with no kids, ya know? All he does is hide, eat and crap. When i am the only one here, he is a good cat and wants affection. When dh and dd are here he hides. It is really making the decision easy to get rid of him. Today we are going to Coushatta Casino in Louisiana. We are stopping by my moms on the way to visit and drop off dd then we are on our way. Don't really have alot of money to blow but with comp meals & room....it is a win-win situation. Kat-so glad to see that you posted. I was worried about you yesterday. I think you would really enjoy the book I am reading. It is mainly a love where/what you are now book....and that is exactly what i need to learn to do. Have FUN on your ride today. I wish we had a motorcycle! OK, wish us luck! I will be back tomorrow and will post then! Jenn, suzanne, cindy, michelle, bethany, angela and everyone else....have a fantastic day and be NICE to yourself. Be happy now,. Thats all we have. :smile2:

Furry Vengeance...2 thumbs up!! :smile2: Great show. The book i got is awesome. Here is a passage from it... "Can you remember a time, perhaps when you were very young, when life as it was-just the fact that it was early morning or any old day in summer-was enough? When you were enough-not because of what you looked like or what you did, but just because everything was the way it was. Nothing was wrong. When you were sad, you cried and then it was over. You were back to a fundamental feeling of positivity, of goodness just because you were alive. What if you could live that way now? And what if your relationship with food was the doorway?" I read & reread that sentence and I tried to remember when I felt that at peace with everything. The sad thing is I had to go back to before I was 10 years old. :crying: Anyway....I am on page 63 of 210. I wish I could stay up all night and read it. If it were any other book I would read through the whole thing in a day or 2 but I am really letting this one sink in. Angela-i have been loving the rain....we need it so bad! I worked in the oilfield for 20 years and I quit almost 2 years ago to stay home with my daughter. I can't remember how much I have told you about myself a long time ago so if I am repeating stuff you already know, I apologize! As far as walking, right now if I went I would prob have to start out slow because my knee & hip have been acting up. Maybe we can go on one of my good days! Suzanne-now when you come to meet me maybe you can meet Angela too! :redface: How cool is that? Kat-I hope things are OK with all of you! Bethany-how are you? Well, I guess i need to get off here for tonight. :wink2:

Good morning.... Rain, rain, rain...this is SLEEP weather but I won't. Gonna bring Macy with some friends to a movie then to play at McD's. We are going to see Furry Vengeance with Brendan Frazier. :redface: Hope whatever you all do and wherever you all go, be careful and have a GREAT day. Be nice to yourselves....

newgirl-hold your head high, never regret following your heart. Take care and best of luck to you!

Thank you Suzanne <3

Angela-we love long posts :frown: I would love to go and walk with ya! I will send you my e-mail address. Bethany-you know, I have finally come to realize that I have the tools I need to lose the weight, but the issue I am dealing with now is getting my head in the right place. The book I am reading will be a tremendous help. Kat-thinking of you and your family (((hugs))) Suzanne-glad you are back. We missed you. I am sorry about you having to wait until the 27th! I will keep you in my prayers sista! Get Vicodin AND Tequila :w00t:. Jenn-hope you get to post soon! How are things with you? Michelle-sounds like dd likes the daycare! Especially if she wants to take a nap there! :laugh: Cindy-you just have one more to graduate or 2? Lord...I will be 55 when mine graduates, lol. geez.... Friends...I have so many things that are going on in my life right now. I will spare you all the details for now. I will just sum it up by saying it is family drama. I wish that me and dd and dh could just pack up and move to another state and just start new lives. Leave the drama BS behind. Sounds like a dream.... The book is GREAT so far. Food for thought. It touches me and i find myself re-reading alot of the sentences to let it really sink in. I will keep you all updated. Have a great night & weekend! :Yawn:

I am so sorry you are hurting! What a jerk. You are so much better off. I would have to tell him (before i never spoke to him again) that he is an ass and it has nothing to do with looks, but everything to do with wanting to have a long, healthy & happy life. Take care of you!

I need to look back and see when Suzanne is coming back...I miss her! Not to mention Jennifer. So, I bought the book yesterday and I am going to start it this morning after I bring macy to school. I found yesterday that if I stay busy, i did not eat as much...wow, what a lightbulb moment. lol :thumbup: NOT! Amazing how i just realize this right? lol Anyway, after I read my new book, I need to find some things to keep my mind & body occupied. Have a fantastic day old friends & NEW! :w00t:
