Connie’s story also takes me back to being a high school/ middle school teacher when I was nearly 300 lbs. 😱. Yikes talk about cruelty! Teenagers know no bounds.3

Any chance of having a doctor check out your foot pain soon? I coped with some bad foot pain for a long time only to find out I had a stress fracture! Who knew?
Not sure if addressed to me or Alex (yay foot pain club), but for me I don't have a doctor near my new place as of yet. It is on my to do list, but there is a lot on said list. I think it is tendon issues for me more then a stress fracture, but who really knows. I am pretty sure I broke my thumb during the move. It is FINALLY starting to feel a bit better many weeks later. Still have pain in the last joint.3 -

Wow - I’m amazed you survived to adulthood! Bet you were a real handful as a kid. Or maybe you were one of those sneaky “good” kids? Either way it’s a good thing you didn’t follow Hansel and Gretel into the woods and become a tasty morsel.1 -
Actually, based on today's view of acceptable incidents... it is amazing that I did! Let's see.... a couple of hang off the balcony railings from the outside with a potential of seven floors worth of acceleration before an eventual landing on good quality concrete... pre seatbelt days squished against a cab door that opened during a very! long road curve at high speed with dad nabbing me from the scruff of the neck to hold me in.... dumped on the head off a slide by an aggressive 5 year old who body checked me off at the top... that high speed run at the cement pilar where I decelerated via the impact of my head since I was looking back while running forward in grade six... yup, there were a couple of good ones... not counting the fact that the parentals TRIED to forget me in Vienna, but Air Austria and the airport decided to keep the pesky unaccompanied minor in the lost and found for eventual retrieval... even though he had swindled the nice stewardesses into taking him home with them for the night!!!2

Just as I thought PAV! Thoroughly incorrigible childhood and lucky to have survived to functional adulthood.
Bet you were sorry when the parents took you away from the flight attendants- every young man’s dream situation.2 -
Love it PAV. So - really - this incredible weightloss accomplishment was pretty small potatoes in your book of life

We've had a surprisingly good weekend. I was expecting a lot of Emotion from Fiance around his birthday and growing older and all that stuff, but he worked through it mostly himself without involving me, and we had a really good, happy, productive time. I'm looking forward to taking tomorrow to put things in order for the working week ahead and doing some precooking that I hadn't been able to get to before.3

Glad everything went smooth for you Alex!…you certainly deserve lots of happiness!
I had a “ fair “ day….been back on track for six entire days….the scales have not treated me too shabbily!…we went to Olive Garden for lunch with grand son and his g/f….I passed on bread sticks and the wine…yay me!….light dinner and small snack later in the day…2 -

Yesterday I felt the best that I have felt in a long time.
Today the depression and anxiety are really bad. Made myself get out of bed. Cleaned the floors. Took a 2 mile walk. Came home. Now I am sitting on my couch feeling like I am about to just cry or lose my mind. I just want to go curl up in bed and ignore the world.4 -
I am a mean dog mommy. I gave him a bath (which he loves) but while he is damp I won't let him go out. How terrible!4

Alex, I can’t imagine you having anything mean in you!….you are such a caring person!….
Feel better Athijade, tomorrow is a new week!
I am getting more motivated every day!3 -
A for-real autumn day! 🍁🍂🍁 rainy and temps in the 60s. Yesterday was 93 so big welcome change.
Usual chores, hubby had Dr. appointment, stop in grocery store. I plan on opening windows, being lazy and maybe taking a nap. Retirement is a good thing!2 -
I am missing everyone here - hope all is okay?3

cry of despair yelling screaming.... holy cow, is THAT what the floor looks like? NO WONDER I PREFER TO HAVE IT COVERED WITH GRIME!
<sorry.... back to the bicentennial cleaning regardless of necessity>2 -
As I thought - preparation for the arrival of the splendid, wondrous, lovely CCCGG?
Clean the floors, cover with some nice large inexpensive area rugs. All you’ll see is the floor perimeter! Quick fix. Always worked well when we had to live in well-used military housing. Costco has a good selection as does Lowe’s.1 -
Where are Bella and Laurie and others?….I come back guns blazing and you all leave lol3

Well my guns aren’t blazing but I do miss the interaction and support. Here’s what I can remember——
Bella is dealing with her sister’s illness. I think Laurie is going to Newfoundland soon to visit her son and family. PAV is awaiting the imminent visit of the glorious CCCGG. Alexandra is wedding planning. Athijade is adjusting to her new life in Chicago. Dante pops in with the spectacular dishes he prepares that probably put us all to shame. You’ve survived a hurricane and ongoing family circus. I’m sure there are plenty of lurkers who could have much to share but are shy.
Best I can tell you Connie is I’m still here and plan to stick around. So keep posting!2 -
Thank you for keeping things going, Yooly!
Can't speak for everyone, Connie - but I'm here - just having a tough time. As you know, the going gets tough sometimes.
I was off eating my sadness for a dear friend who passed unexpectedly last week. Not consciously doing that, but no doubt it all played a role. I'm holding it together (with effort/and lots of distraction) without The Boy around but it seems that is using up all of my "keeping it together" abilities.
Hope my friend can't read this post from the other side or she would wanna kick my bottom (though she wouldn't because that wasn't her style) for involving her memory in overeating. So, I'm going to do it in reverse and call on her to help me be wiser on the food front.
Grief is strange and different for everyone, I know. I'm a kinda of an immerse myself in things person or will go into complete denial - so these days I'm immersing myself into Judy and memories of her and the wonder of her. I can do that without eating enough for both of us - if I pull up my bootstraps a bit.
That started this morning.3 -
So sorry for the loss of your friend Laurie. Sometimes on my bad days I think life is just a long series of losses.
I try to remember the new, found things in life to keep going. And to remember you can’t hang on to the past but you can cherish your memories forever.2 -
Thank you, Yooly. I didn't do toooo badly today. Baby steps.2

The mercury has really fallen here this week. Downright cold when you wake up and warms up to a chilly windy afternoon only to hit freezing overnight. I wasn't ready for this quick drop - my fingers don't want to work. But it is only supposed to last the week and then we'll get back to a warmer seasonal norm.
My walking has suffered. By the time I get the courage to go out it is getting close to evening walk time, and it is dark by 7. Today I will get out there earlier and wear gloves. It is only October - we have a winter to get through
Hope those of you in the hotter climes are getting some relief from the heat you have had to endure this year!2 -
We just got a raise, and it's really great because it means that we won't have to have a paying roommate live with us, and we can go ahead and get the work done in the yard so that Sgt Pickles won't escape constantly. Which he did again today. (sigh)
This also means I get my sewing room back and I can start making my clothes that I want to wear. And that I can alter to fit me as I lose weight, and I don't have to deal with someone else's idea of how much room should be in the seat of a pair of pants, among other things. I'm going to still look five months pregnant for a while and modern clothing isn't very easy on a body shaped like that.3 -
I'm alive. Just had a rough weekend with the anxiety and depression, then I was really sick on Tuesday (struggled to keep food in, was super dizzy, and kept nearly passing out unless I was laying down). Plus this is a busy time at work and since it is all still so new it takes me 3x as long to do things. So I just run out of time and the last thing I want to do after a long work day is get on the computer again.
I am still dealing with some fatigue but I am feeling a lot better. Trying to figure out portion sizes and meal timing. I am either super hungry or super full. Can't seem to find that comfortable middle ground while also dealing with my schedule.
I have lost weight though. Couldn't tell you numbers, but I went for a walk and struggled because my pants kept slipping down. Which yay I lost weight but also boo because I need my pants to stay up haha.2
