Good morning ladies and gents. Hope this finds everyone well.

Today I am thankful Nature Valley protein cereal.... 10g protein perserving. Keeps me full. I am thankful for my job that allows me time to come here between calls and keep up with and check in with my friends. I am thankful to MFP as a whole because I feel as though I am no longer alone in this journey to better health. I am thankful to Karen for her 10 day mini challenge to get me refocused this morning. I am thankful to Lise and Carly for being such great friends to me. I am thankful that tonight I see my psychiatrist and hopefully get some info for dealing with this depression I am in. I truly hope he doesn't talk about pulling me out of work and me going into a day program. Sometimes I feel as though it would help, but right now since I am still "faking it till I make it" I am not sure how productive it would be.

The biggest thing I am thankful for this morning.... 17 days till vacation. Vegas for 9 days. Hopefully being out of my element will help with this funk/depression I am in.

I brought my journal to work today and will be writing between calls also. I am hoping to purge a LOT of the negativity in my head into my journal. I know it won't solve the depression, but might pin point what caused it.

Today I am also working on creating a 10 week plan for cleaning up my eating, eating more LCHFMP and more paleo. I am trying to get a couple of my co-workers who want to lose weight in on this with me. It would be nice.

Today I'm thankful for the fact that I suffered through feeling like I'd never make progress again so that I could find the me inside who was willing to take that hard look at life and decide I deserved better.

I'm also thankful that the path the universe steered me to is a good fit. It makes all the struggles seem a little less unbalanced. Seems more like a fair fight now, if that makes sense.


Thanks, Cari. I appreciate your friendship so much, too. It is kind of ironic to me how my friendships with you ladies often mean more to me than the so-called "friendships" I have in my RL...

Wishing you luck on the best possible outcome for your appointment tonight.

I LOVELOVELOVE that you're journaling the crap out of this pervasive dark dementor-like fog! I find that, like you, just getting the negativity channeled somewhere helps me think through the rest.

And man, you are ambitious! I'm a planner, but there is no way I would have ever gotten a full transition plan made, much less followed!! Good luck drafting some willing participants to join you...that always makes it easier.
