Topic: Pre-Anniversary S.O.S.

I wonder how many of us are left - I see a number of "hits" reading these posts but I can count on one had those of us who continue to post periodically, if not irregularly. So I am casting this net to everyone who stops long enough to read this - PLEASE respond. Please post back. I NEED YOUR HELP.  In less than a month, we will begin what has become a ritual for us - celebrate our anniversaries together. Before I mark that date for myself, I need to know where everyone is at. I need to know where I "fit in" and if anyone else is going through the same things. Please do not perceive this as a negative post.  Please rather perceive this as my need to acquire information so that I can continue forging ahead. I am so afraid. Please answer:

Weight day of surgery:
Lowest weight after surgery:
Current weight:
Goal weight:

Co-morbidities day of surgery:
Co-morbidities remained or have reoccured despite surgery:

Medical issues related to surgery (suspected or diagnosed):

Are you experiencing emotional difficulty with food (thinking about it all the time, eating too much of it, binging, purging, eating too little for fear of regain, etc.) If so, please explain.

Current medications:
Current vitamins:

Anything you want to add:

Thanks friends. Maureen

Topic: I Borrow This From a Friend
... to share with you all. It speaks to me - I try valiantly to embrace its essence. I hope you are all well and that this might bring you pause in any struggle you may be coping with:

Invictus

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever God may be,
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of cir****tance,
I have not cried nor winced aloud,
Under the bludgeoning of chance,
My head is bloody but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.

It matters not how straight the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the captain of my fate,
I am the master of my soul.


---William Earnest Henley, 1875

I don't remember you saying this so apology not accepted. 

The addiction has intensified. I'm in real trouble. I've just found a psychologist in my area who specializes in eating disorders. I am hopeful that I've latched onto a lifeline. She's seems to be on top of her game. I really need the help.

Hope you're well, dear one. M.

I'm sooo JEALOUS!!!  Yea, yea I was home after surgery, but it's not the same as having a staycation.  Have a wonderful time at home.

I remember long ago responding to a post you wrote about your M&M habit and I said that it was not possble to have a true addiction to M&Ms.  If you will allow, I would like to remove my head from my backside and apologize.  Just read an article that cites a couple of studies and validates your M&M habit.

Sugar is addicting.

Ive been super busy...drama with the son, and also .......get this....opening a new business...yes Im nuts but its more like a hobby business for me and something I can use to keep my husbands mind active now that he's RETIRED!!!! I am going to be selling antiques and collectables and little like gifty things...like a poor man's cracker barrell! It should be fun...I open in two days but I dont expect much business until the weather breaks but rent is cheap and I got into this while I had the chance, its in a new bulding and I expect it to be like a ground floor opportunity...so Im doing it. So needless to say Ive been very busy...I have to mark all my stuff before tomorrow and get it on shelves argggg...Ive painted my space and put up border, shelves, etc... it looks really nice and all, not to brag but one of the nicest looking places there I think! Ill try to check in regularly and let you all know how things are going....oh oh forgot to say...guess who is going to be at the shop for the BIG GRAND opening in April, Lorretta Lynn the country singer....she is a friend of the owner of the building...cooool huh!

Welp be well everyone and Ill pop in when I can!

i'm ok are you ok?

i'm on vacation this week! yeah!

why in february you ask? why not!

we have to take a week of furlough and i decided since i was not planning a trip this year an i wanted to relax after a stressful holiday the first week of feb is perfect for that.

im going shopping with my daughter one day then plan on doing some mega cleaning. pulling furniture away from walls washing those down and if i get lucky maybe even applying some paint to them.

i also plan on going to the gym every day and hopefully signing up for a yoga class. i had taken one months ago; loved it but haven't had the time to go again so thats on my list.

so i have a busy week "Off" planned but for me thats how i relax. shopping cleaning and fixing up my little condo.

along with spending some good quanlity tim ewith my little feathered an furry babies.

ahhhhhh life is good

Judy,
I'm bad about posting but I do check in several times a week and post if I feel the need to respond to something.  I'll try to be better.  

Hugs,
