Having such a bad day!

I must have gotten up too early. I hate mornings. I am Garfield's twin. Last night, my friend said she was coming over at 9am to help me get something done and she didn't get here until 10 and then she started doing something here that I didn't want her to do. It sounds so stupid but I got so mad. She had told me she would bring me breakfast and she didn't because she thought since it was so late that I would have already eaten. I'm still feeling grumpy about it. Think I'm just going back to bed and get a good nap and see if I feel better. I feel like I'm overreacting, but I'm really teary eyed and emotional. Something else must be going on. Definitely don't feel good. I'll double up on my vitamins. Would like to eat something sinfully sweet, but that will just make me sick. It used to make me feel better. Now I don't know what to do with myself when I need cheering up. Food was the only way I could cheer myself up. Heidi

Hey Heidi! Would it cheer you up if I stood on my head?? (say no, say no, say no!!! ... cause I can't stand on my head!) Seriously, I hope things are better soon. I think it's the "dog-days" of August that are making so many feel down in the dumps. I long for the cool, crisp days of Autumn, myself. Take care and hang in and I'm thinking of you, Myra

Stand on your head? Just the thought is good enough. LOL Heidi

Hi Heidi, I have been having those kind of days too every once in awhile. I even take an antidepressant! It seems like so many things have changed so much and sometimes I am overwhelmed by the changes in my relationships with people. Have found that most of my friends no longer are friends because I am losing weight. It is wierd but it is worse yet when the family starts to change how they treat you. Cheer up & try not to think about it. You are entitled to have a grumpy and teary day every now and then! If you figure out what to do with yourself when you are having a bad day and can't eat like we use too please share it with me! I finad myself longing for a smoke again! Roxi

((((((((((((Heidi)))))))))))))) You will be ok...you can be cranky...there is nothing wrong with that. I get like that the week before my period and want to eat bad for me stuff...diffrence between you and I is that I usually give in and then get sick...blah. The thing that has helped me tremendously is walking. Gives me time to think about things and time away. It also gets my endorphins up which I have to tell you i always thought was a crock of poo poo but I now am a firm believer...it is also empowering to move your body and to set a goal and accompli**** Hang in there Heidi...your mind will catch up with your body soon!!

Thanks Michelle, I seriously hate to walk. I get some kind of a panic attack when I get too far away and the thought of getting back home is overwhelming. It's a shame, too, because I have four dogs and they'd "kill" for a walk. Any walk. Just to the end of the street! ANYTHING! Sounds like I need therapy. Barely can pay my mortgage right now, so am just hanging on! I've had a hysterectomy, so I can't tell when I get PMS, so to speak. But I have consistently had trouble every 5 weeks. Seems like an odd time, but my fifth week after surgery was horrible emotionally and week 10 was bad, not as bad. I just finished week 20, so there must be something to that. Heidi

Heidi, It's O.K. to have a bad day. Sometimes my daughter and husband probably think I'm a raving lunatic but I don't care. Sometimes you just need to vent. There's been a lot of changes going on with us and our bodies over these last 5 months and if you think every day is going to be honkey dorey after what we've gone thru, you need to re-think your thinking. It doesn't help when you are concerned over finances. I know I was there and I've been working now for the last 2 months which has helped me greatly. I wish you all the luck in the world and just know we are here for you whenever you need to vent. Deborah W. 298/207/170

Hi Heidi, I'm so sorry you're having a rotten day! This doggone heat can't be helping either. I hope your nap made you feel better! I can totally relate about these reactions, I get the same way from time to time. Haven't checked to see if it's on any kind of cycle. But your story about breakfast reminded me of a time when I was out of town and had brought some Power Crunch bars to be my protein supplement. I took a first bite, and then my boyfriend said, "That looks good, can I taste it?" I said "Sure" and handed it to him. Well. He proceeded to bite off most of what I'd handed him, and he handed me back basically one last little bite. I reacted with abject horror! "Hey! That was MY PROTEIN! NOW WHAT AM I GOING TO EAT????" Then I had to swallow hard to fight back tears! I felt ridiculous. Freak-out city! I had only brought along exactly enough for each day and he messed with MY FOOD! He felt absolutely awful. I think I did end up crying - I do remember apologizing! I don't know what the answer is, but I wanted to let you know you are not alone! HOpe you are feeling better by the time you read this! Kathy
