I'm warning you (God, Universe, or whoever)
That is it, I'm done. One of the most hellish months of my life just finished. 3 people in our family passed away in March including my Mom. God, that is it. Nearly everyone in this family is about as broken as they can be. Our hearts are wounded and we will never be the same. I'm standing here now to tell you that is it!…

Read me when times get rough on this journey!!
First, let me say that I wrote a blog and it was about NoWhere to turn. I just wanted to say thanks to everyone that posted and commented in message. Very grateful. That mostly centered about the loss of my Mom on the 6th of this month. Today, I found out that my brother David lost his dad to a stroke. We share the same…

No where to turn--any help would be appreciated
That is how I'm feeling tonight. We lost my Mom on the 6th of this month after learning that she had lung cancer. She was diagnosed and gone in mere weeks. I made a promise to myself that I have not kept. See I saw what grief was on the faces of my nieces, my kids, my sisters, my father and I know how raw grief is and…

My name is Debbie and I'm a veggie hater....
I am posting this in hopes of finding friends that can support me and I will gladly do the same for them. History: Obese all my adult life and have tried to lose weight most of it. Sometimes I would do really good and then something happens and off I went and started gaining the weight back. My biggest issue is not the…

Frustrated...help ..someone ...anyone lol.
Ok, I need snack ideas. I have been using popcorn forever and ever because I love it. Unfortunately, I should pay more attention when I eat it because it loosened a tooth and it is now out of line making it easier to bite it. That was about a month ago. Still have to be careful with it. Now, on other side is pain from the…

How do you fight depression?
Ok: Background: Finances are hard right now and every payday is a struggle. I refuse to live like this forever and that is why i'm getting my bachelor's degree. It just feels mentally that this is neverending struggle. Boots--our cat of 10 years. Was sick for 1 1/2 days. Next day he was gone--as in missing. His is a home…

I dont get it. Some people make me sick. Venting.
I'm sitting here thinking. I just do not get some people. Maybe my views in life are old fashioned. My niece is making the biggest mistake of her childrens lives. Her posts on FB make me sick. People that support her make me sick. CPS took her baby (who just turned 5 mths old) and toddler. Her Boyfriend is a loser in the…

Repeat & repeat--UGH. Tips guys??
So stepped on the scale and found I am back down to the low point in my weight (again). This makes like the 3rd time I had to fight down after a gain from either not caring, being lazy or whatever. The weekends seem to do me in and then I fight the rest of the week to undo the damage--repeat & repeat. Frankly, I'm sick of…

failed again
I am not sure what it is about me that makes me fail every time at this weight loss game. Over 20 years of struggling to get the weight off and I am as big as I ever was. I have not been exercising or counting calories. Off the wagon I went. I do this..same exact pattern. Go go go...mmm...go maybe....dead stop. Sometimes…

Thanks for the advice ...
I asked for advice the other night on how hard I should hit the weight loss. Should I work really hard or just baby myself into it step at a time. I gave careful thought to your opinions and reflected on my past as well. Decision made, it is time to push myself. I have been going at this without much effort and of course…

Advice please!!!
So, what is the best way to do it (lose weight) in your opinion? Go slow and make changes a little at a time? Or, get out there and kick butt, pushing yourself? I have over 100 lbs to lose. I have done it both ways. Wake up call tonight. Talked to my sister that is disowned & I am reminded of all the reasons why I do NOT…

Sharing Secrets
One thing I have learned by doing this (a million times) is certain things work for me and some things do not. I know I can't be alone in this so I thought I would see what weight loss secrets everyone has. Feeling full---one of the best things ever for feeling full and very low calorie at 30 or 35 calories is drinking a…

I CAN do this and so can you....
So, hubby is diabetic and of course the doctor gave him a diet to follow. Since I do not eat many fruits/veggies etc--I would end up literally starving on this diet. It freaking makes ya nuts you know. So, the other day I decided I had enough and could not do this (eating bad, lack of exercise) anymore. Hubby also said…

I got my determination back!!
I have said I'm trying to lose weight for a very long time. Some days I do actually try. However, I know my efforts are sorely lacking. Many years ago, I had the most success I've had losing weight. All last week I have been thinking about that. How did I do that? For one, I was determined. Nothing short of a true…

Not Weight loss related....skunks!!
Oh man, looking for any tips though I have researched online and used a homemade recipe for my dogs because they got into skunk smell--not the oil but still smell like skunk. Hubby put the dogs in here in my computer room because he called a cop to see about the skunk and couldn't have the dogs running loose. I was up…

Thanks, I needed that :)
I am in here feeling down, letting worries and troubles dog me. My laptop died and I am a bachelor's degree student so I have to have one. We live on a tiny little budget. So, I am having to use hubby's which makes me feel guilty. However, I came in here and read under new topic--motivation and support--a message about get…

I am way past the point of being excited and fired up, I would just like to know how people stay consistant with watching what they eat and doing the exercises.…
