Hi all, I seem to be in a bit of a slump. I seem to be losing and gaining the same 3 pounds right now. My whole body hurts from increased exercise and going back to work. I am feeling weepy and like I just want to be hugged, held, and spoiled. At the same time I am cranky, not real nice and frustrated by little things. Things like not being able to get my picture to show up on this page. I can't get in touch with someone I need to finish my second website and it is annoying me. I can't get someone else to stop using her name in connection to work I am doing and tha is annoying me. I guess I am just feeling tired, sore, out of control, and a little sorry for myself. It sounds like the wonderful feeling of no PMS which I had last month has been replaced with more intense PMS this month. I just want to cry. I also need to realize I am mornig the loss of a friend. Still, I am ready for this to pass. I have really been enjying feeling so great and I want it back NOW. Thanks for letting me vent. Terrie 366/ 307-310/ goal 165

Hey I know what you mean.....The good news it should pass. A while back I was in a real slump. Work was horrid - so stressful. I was being pressured at home with getting ready for two teenage girl grads - the dresses, the hair, the makeup then the late nights, etc. I was really feeling the pressure. I woke up one morning and just couldn't face going to work. I decided to call in that I would be a few hours late and get some more sleep. Then when I woke up I still didn't want to go and cried the entire time I was getting ready and driving to work - my hubby was home so he took me that day. He asked what was wrong cause I was crying and I said I don't know I just couldn't stop. Then the light went on. On the way to work I told him I think maybe it was cause no one realized how much stress I was under and that I now realized that I didn't have my coping mechanism "food" to turn to anymore and I just couldn't cope. That was a big moment for me with that realization. I had to find some other way to cope. I'm not sure what I did but the feeling went away - I know I can't turn to food as my condolence anymore and the dietician told me to look for things that I enjoy to get my mind off things - ie going for a walk in the river valley - I love nature and getting away from the city noise and hustle you know. Hope you can find something to get you out of your slump......do something for you.....you deserve a break and to have something special right now. Currently I'm at the point where people are really noticing my weight loss and boy does it feel good when almost everyday I'm seeing someone new at work that I haven't seen in a while and they are commenting on how good I look. If it hasn't come yet for you it will believe me and it feels "great". Keep your chin up - it will get better. I still get upset about things but I try to not let it bother me so much (easy to say - I know). Good luck!!! Carolyn
