I confess I've been a lot more negative than usual over the last couple months. It's affected me in more ways than I realized until my husband commented on it. I have started making an effort to get back to my normal obnoxiously positive self and I'm already noticing a difference. I hope I can keep this up, because I don't like the direction I was going, mentally.

I bet if you look back you'll see the negativity in your life developed in accordance with your getting more involved in mfp forums....almost like an mfp culture. It's good to leave here sometimes to focus on what is real and what matters.

Actually it developed around the time my grandfather committed suicide. Dealing with that has not been easy, and accepting the reality of my life moving forward with my hero no longer in it has made me quite negative in general, with an attitude of "why bother?" pervading much of my thoughts on all things... especially those health and fitness related. I've struggled with comfort eating, and my desire to work out has been next to nil.

My MFP friends have actually helped me with this, not the other way around.

You can move forward! I believe in you. Glad this support network is working for you. Positivity is a powerful thing.

Thank you. I'm just taking it day by day and letting my husband "do the job he signed up for" (his words) when I'm struggling. The bad moments are getting less and less frequent.

I once took a VHS video tape back to a store . . without rewinding it . . *There I said it!! . .

I do that with the bluray discs from redbox...

Since I lost my job ... my lawn is starting to look real good... is that a silver lining or what?

I heard a song ft. Justin Bieber on the radio this weekend (Despacito) and, heaven help me, I thought it was kind of catchy.
