Hey all! Sorry, I have been MIA. Depression has been bad lately. I finally got an appointment to see a doctor about it and they prescribed some meds that will hopefully help me get over this hump. I've been mainly binge eating junk and binge watching netflix and it has not helped my mood at all. Hope everyone else is doing…

Hey all, woke up feeling like death this morning... made the mistake of accidentally leaving the windows open the other night when it fell below freezing after being in the mid 70's during the afternoon. At first it was just a scratchy throat and post nasal drip but now it is worse. Gonna get my neti pot out and nip this…

Hello to all this morning. Lana- yeah, and you have to change your tension accordingly sometimes to the weight of the fabric you are using. So if you are a novice to some extent, it can be frustrating to get that perfect tension for one project, switch to another project with heavier or lighter weight fabrics and then have…

Lana- we had an old treadle sewing machine when I was growing up, 100+ year old machine. My dad actually taught me how to use it. Everything I've learned about my machines is almost completely youtube and google. Also, I had a dentist appointment today too! How coincidentally funny. Sorry you are having to deal with pain…

You ladies must have so much patience to knit. I tried to learn once but I just don't have the patience for it. I'm an avid sewer myself, with two vintage machines and a fancy schmancy digital modernized doodad as well. Hope everyone has a great day! I gotta go get the littles ready for the day. And coffee, I need coffee.

Agree with good fitted inserts and even good shoes for hip and back problems. Feet and knees too. It won't solve everything, but it is helpful when your arches or ankles are weak, as are mine. I blew it on my sodium today and I really feel like I need to be more careful on that. I had pizza for lunch and am going to eat my…

I love all the nerdy things really. Doctor Who, Sherlock, DC/Marvel, Zombies, Anne Rice Vamps, Ren Faires, Tolkien/lots of epic fantasy novels, Jurassic Park, huge lover of all things mid-century modern including retro television series and movies, Disney, Star Wars and Star Trek, The Cornetto trilogy, Harry Potter,…

Feel free to add me hun. After my first child, my weight spiraled badly so I completely get where you are coming from. I practically became a hermit once I committed to stay at home mommy haha.

My smile! It cost my parents five grand so I'm glad it turned out to be something I liked lol

I feel you. I actually deleted my facebook account because of the negativity there. I haven't been on social media with the exception of MFP for months. Welcome to the community and feel free to add me if you want some support. I'm a total cheerleader for people's success lol

Have you ever seen one of those images on facebook that says something like "This message serves to prove how our minds can do amazing things..."? It goes on for a bit but all of the capital E's, I's, S's, and A's have been replaced with numbers that vaguely resemble those letters 3, 1, 5, 4. It's meant to prove that your…

AOTD- light exercises. I pulled a muscle in my back a couple weeks ago when it spasmed sporadically and I could barely even walk the first couple days after. I haven't been released to do anything hardcore yet but I can get in a little walking this afternoon since we will have such bizarrely nice weather for the season.…

I used to feel that way. Since I was a chubby kid, I would wear a sports bra, baggy t-shirt and a pair of oversized shorts instead of a swimsuit. Been that way for years. A couple summers ago, I avoided the swimming holes and pools altogether. But that meant my kiddos missed out too. I found myself feeling guilty and a…

Tilliesmommy, I'm actually very scent sensitive. Almost all strong scented candles, oils, perfumes and potpourris give me severe headaches and lavender actually makes me ill- sick to my stomach. I have been seeing a massage therapist for my tension and stress which I carry nearly exclusively in my neck and shoulders. I…

This is like my umpteenth time and my second MFP account due to not being able to log in to my first account anymore. Anyway, I weigh about 219, my high weight is 235. Last year I lost about 45 pounds, gaining all but 10 of it back. I began meal prepping again yesterday and am really wanting to stick with it. I have a…

Generalized anxiety disorders and panic disorders are different, however they can overlap. Anxiety is general fear of things, it can be specific to phobias or situations. As our civilizations have evolved, our bodies have been a bit slower on it. When your body is in stress mode, it doesn't know if it is being attacked by…

I was recently diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder so I know some of what you speak of. Mine revolves a lot around social fears and irrational fears that keep me awake all night. Fears like my house is going to go up in flames or my children are going to stop breathing or a fully armed burglar is going to break in…

I'd love to join. I am a stay at home mom of two, unless you count the 33 yo man I'm married to, haha.

Same here, feel free to add me!

Haha, I like words, especially of the archaic variety. I'm actually in the midst of writing my first novel. Might as well work toward all my goals! Backsliding is the pits. But, I feel like since I did it once before, it proves that I can do it now, even if I am a year older.
