:happy: HI!! today is day 3 of my journey to my former self, but day one on here, I live in christchurch New Zealand, and have put on alot of weight ( here in chch it is commonly know as earthquake weight), partly due to alot of stress. Most of you wont know but my city is in ruins, we have been plauged by over 7000 earthquakes in the last year, and have lost alot of our former lives, friends family, buildings roads and spirtis around here are low. I decided after looking back at some recent photos that enough is enough, I need to get my self out fo this funk and get my life back on track. No more excuses, I think I am going to need a but of support and woudl love someone to helop me along this journey, I am re building my self inside and out and trying to heal some of the hurt mother nature has cast upon us here. If any one would like to come along and share stories of thier progress and life, contact me, I need a buddy !

    I had heard of some of the CHCH earthquakes, but I didn't realize there had been that many of them in the past year. WOW! No wonder you are stressed.
    Good luck getting everything under control. I know you can do it.

    Darlin, things just sometimes happen in our lives. If we dwell on the negative it will only bring us down more. Grab what you can to focus on ... preferably good and positive and you will rise above everytime.

    Two years ago, if I had focused on the neg/bad in my life, I doubt if I'd be where I am at today. Keep your chin up... you too can and will rise out of everything.

    *hugs* to you sweetie, and here's to finding ways to love and nurture yourself that are more healthy than food.

    Practicing gratitude in the face of adversity is one of the most powerful things you can do for yourself.

    Cheers
