    (((Hugs))) Molly!

    I have dealt with depression since I can remember. Suicidal from when I was maybe 10, became a cutter in High School (before it was cool & emo), and since I turned 18 on & off depression meds. For me, I had to reach out. I always kept it in and put on that fake smile. I remember the first time I told anyone about my cutting. Some (now low life nobody) then popular guy said something mean to me... I went to cry in the bathroom, wishing I had a blade, and in came that friend. That pressure gone helped move me forward.

    I can't wait for you to be out on your own (which is sometime a lonely place) but only keeping people who support you around you. You have us here. You can always Message me (with the time difference I may be slow to answer!). But I think you are doing the best you can and you rock it every week.

    We may never meet, but we are all friends!!

    Jenn, this made me cry. Thank you for sharing your story, I understand it must be hard talking about something like that, so thank you.

    I'd love to be able to meet you all one day. You never know, maybe one day it'll actually happen!

    Our 'week' starts on Sunday, so if you can earn some OWLs and NEWTs before then that'd be great. However, if you do want to wait until Sunday to make a start then that too is fine. Our challenges are posted on Saturday's, in anticipation for the following day, if you didn't already know :smile:

    Morning peeps.

    Weighing in at 132 pounds which is an increase of 2 pounds I'm afraid although it is really not bothering me any more because I am noticing definition in my arms and thighs which I've never had before and I'm wondering if maybe I'm about where I should be on the scales. Maybe my old skinny jeans were too skinny anyway. Maybe I was too skinny...I know I was underweight and I actually secretly took pride in that. According to the NHS my BMI is 21.36 which indicates that I'm at a healthy weight. I have developed a much better pattern of eating and exercise than before I joined MFP. I'm going to continue using it to make sure I don't get lazy.

    Hang in there Molly. Everyone goes through those times. Surround yourself with positive people and keep working toward your goals. Nothing feels better than proving people wrong and showing the world how awesome you really are:glasses:


    Stats for the past couple of days:

    Thurs: 0 Owls/0 House Points/ 4 Newts
    Fri: 2 Owls/60 House Points/ 5 Newts
    Sat. 2 Owls/60 House Points/4 Newts
    Weigh in: 139.5lbs

    Tonight I am working for a photographer friend of mine. We'll be photographing some U.S. Marines at their "Birthday Ball". I did this last year and remember getting dressed up and feeling like a big fat cow. I'm actually kind of excited to get dressed up tonight now that there is 16.5 less pounds of me. I'm finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel!!! Thanks for being a source of encouragement Hufflepuffs!

    Welcome to all the new members! If you have any questions feel free to message me! I don't have my signature any more :mad: so my name is Queeda and I am the Head of House for Hufflepuff. I must apologize ladies for my serious lack of attention to the thread this week. I came home to my ex who decided to have a big fight with me about absolutely nothing. He has a lot of anger issues and he proceeded to rip my door of the hinges and punch me in the stomach like I was a grown man. Nevertheless I should have been here for you all. I can't wait for this divorce to be finalized! The Prefects for the next 2 weeks will be announced today I PROMISE! I need to go back and compile the numbers. Once the Prefects are announced they can choose a challenge and we will start it tomorrow. Thanks Hufflepuffs!

    NEWTs.....

    This week I want everyone to try and eat clean. Try dropping some processed foods.

    From eatingcleanworks.com:
    "In a nutshell, eating clean is the practice of eating whole, natural foods such as fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and complex carbohydrates. It also means staying away from the junk that typically makes up the Standard American Diet (S.A.D) These types of food include man-made sugar, bad fats (hydrogenated, trans-fat), preservatives, white bread, and any other ingredients that are unnecessary. An easy way to remember if a food is clean is: "if man made it, don't eat it." "

    So each meal or snack that you eat that is clean you earn 2 NEWTs (a max of 12 per day for those-like me- that eat 6 times a day). So, fruits/veggies/lean meats will earn you points!!

    Hope this is easy. I know I try to eat clean but pre-done food is soooo easy.
