Update of my life.

I pop in and out, but it has been awhile since I have taken time to update you on my life and what is happening it. So I have a few minutes this morning so will do it now. I have just started a new job, well actually two, but they are both in the same place. I have gone to work at the care home where my daughter and ex-husband are. Everyone thought I was joking when I asked for an application, but the were estatic when they realized I was serious. I started doing activites on the behaviors unit severalo nights a week. I really enjoy that, but it wasn't enough hours. When I asked for more hours, I joked that I would get my extra hours in the dietary department. The next day the suppervisor in housekeeping called me to see if I would be interested in some hours in his department. So starting next week I will start three days a week in his department. Not the kind of work I am use to but what the hay. It is work and it doesn't require a rocket scientist to do it. Frostie is planning to get a place of her own the first of the year. I told her that she couldn't come back here, that I wasn't going to end up where I was before, takeing total care and responsibility for her. I don't think she was really happy, but I can't keep doing it anymore. She is going to take her kids with her and then I can be grandma again instead of their parent. I have put on 30 pounds in the last few months, but I know why. I have been having an affair with sugar, and not doing my exercise. So as of today I have put a moritorium on sugar and am going to get back on track in all other areas. I and another lady from my area are starting a WLS support group. Our first meeting is on Nov. 9th. She is lap-band and I am RNY. So that makes it all the better as far as knowing what you go through on each surgery. There is a lot more going on, but thi****s some of the high points. Love ya all and do so appreciate all the love and support that comes my way through all the ups and downs in my life. Hazel

Hey Hazel: It sounds as though things are on a little bit of an upswing for you! Congratulations on the new job. Also, congratulations for taking control of your life again (concerning both Frostie AND your sugar). I wish all the best for you! Good luck with your support group...that is so awesome that you are starting it! Hugs and much love, Jersey Mom

Congrats, Hazel, on all these exciting new things happening for you. I am in awe at how you stepped in to take control and have found such success. The sugar part may be the hardest to overcome. We're here for you.... Hugs, Tiffany

Dear Hazel: It is hard to put your track to the right way. I have done it and I know it is not easy. It is more confortable to allow yourself to get confort from unhealthy food. I know life is hard. We have to confront (to face... I don't know exactly what is the accurate expresion here...) a lot of misfortunes and put our best expresion and apply hands on the task with the lighter heart. I know you are strong enough to go back to your goals, and I mean with the extra pounds and your life back in track. I am sorry if I am not able to express exactly what I have in my mind and heart. I would like you to know that you have my moral support, you will succeed... I am sure of it... Sincerely Alejandro from Guadalajara Mexico

Hazel I am so proud of you! You are an amazing woman! Congrats on the jobs. I hope you enjoy your new jobs. As far as Frostie goes, sometimes tough love is the way to go! I wish you the best! Hugs, Chris

Congratulations on your new jobs, Hazel. It's hard to walk away from the things we love... food or family ;) You're an amazingly strong woman and role model for all of us. Hugs, Anna
