    :brokenheart: :sad: I didn't loose any weight this week I don't know why I stayed under my calories and worked out at least 30 min, a day,My scale doesn't have the 173.5 just the 173 guess I will have to wait until Thursday when I weigh in next week can't do it on Friday because I will be on my cruise. :happy:

    Aw, it's okay aisser! just remember to never give up! ^^ I went out last night to the bar (to meet some friends) I never drank (only diet pop) because alcohol messes my anxiety severely, so anyways, I ended up getting really nervous and having a somewhat small panic attack, the worse thing was I was outside alone when it happened :ohwell:
    I'll just try it again next time, :) and hopefully I won't get nervous (it was the crowd and noise) I don't like bars very much but it was a special night because my work closed, so it was our last time to see each other and we got our T4's and everything, I don't have a job now, but I get ODSP so I'll be okay for a while until I'm ready again.

    Hey, how is everyone?
    I WI today, I lost 2.6 lbs! I'm now 170.3 lbs! Woot!
    I have an infection though, I was at the hospital a couple days ago, and they said I have "epididymitis" :grumble:
    so it says to get lots of bedrest, it feels like someone punched me down there, 'cept the soreness is constant. lol
    They gave me antibiotics, so I should be feeling better in a couple weeks, not sure if I'll lose much weight though the next couple weeks, as I can't exercise much (only light exercise if that, it hurts after I walk and such)

    The Urologist was going to call me back with the test results and to check up on me, I got a call on the answering machine, I dialed the number and it was for the "Juravinski Cancer Centre" does that mean I could have cancer? or does the Urologist just work there? They were closed so I have to wait till Monday for the office....
    I'm really nervous about calling back Monday, I hope everything's alright! :indifferent:

    Hey you guys,

    I'm so glad this thread is taking off. I am the mum of two kids with disabilities and have spent the last eighteen years trying to support them in being confident enough to advocate for themselves, because (according to the experts who I most respected) this was the single highest determinant in whether people with disabilities were successful - meaning satisfying work, satisfying relationships.

    So when I read about (for instance) you noticing that you were in a bar - total sensory overload - and noticing the effect it has on you, and similar epiphanies, I'm jumping up and down here going 'yes, yes!' It's amazing how so many 'nondisabled' people will accept a lower quality of life - chronic pain, mild chronic depression- and never do anything about it. To actually do the work and to start paying attention to the triggers is something no doctor can do because they're not with you 24/7.

    You guys rock!!!

    I'm sorry, I think I'm ranting. I'm just so excited about this thread.

    Karin

    Np Karen! You can post whatever is on your mind on this thread! That's what it's here for! I made this thread to help each other!
    and to Fooja, no I don't have cancer, I dunno why they phoned, but his office was there for some reason, lol, I had the appointment today, my infection is getting quite better!

    P.S.
    Don't worry about going over your calories, tomorrow is a new day! ^^
