Your B*TCHFest is now in session!

@Tiff...You don't understand how long it took me to figure that one out.  We should remember to add that to the List of Things We Tell the Newbies.  Relearn how to drink.

Congrats on your band!

Stressing about a weekend trip home to Chicago. I love my neices & nephews and adore their kids more than I can express! Now if my siblings could be absent for my trip and I could just have fun with the kids, all would be well! Since I got my band placed 2 years ago, my sister has been in this highly competitive mode with me about stuff and she drives me nuts. I know don't let her right. Easier said then done!

My back is killing me! Don't know if it was the kettlebell exercise and turning wrong or what happened, but there seems to be a disc pinching something and I wake up every night with my ankle & foot tightening up tremendously. Think charlie horse x1000 in the foot/ankle region! Did not want to resort to narcotics again for pain, but finally gave into Vicodin w/ a stronger setting on my TENS unit! So the lack of being able to exercise is driving me NUTS! I'm maintaining at the moment, but it all could change at any moment & I want to move forward not back!

My narcolepsy is out of control right now! I just want to SLEEP! The time change that is coming is already affecting me. I've had 5 cups of tea already today! And 300 mg of my meds and I'm still sleepy! Looking forward to the new meds!

 I am normally a day nurse but have to rotate to night on occasion.  I worked nights monday night and it sucked.  Big time.  I'm still in a fog.  One of our night staf just quit and another will go on maternity leave in May, so it looks like there are going to be even more nights in my future.

I am too old for this 

UGH.

I hate hate hate nights and the physical fallout afterward...

did I mention I hate the night shift?

Im hating the woman at my husbands work that insist on flirting with him! UGH! And Im stuck at the same weight now 2 weeks in a row. POOP!

oh, I'd hate that too... just saying. I'm not the calm cool and collected type. I rule with my heart and I'm willing to battle for it.

OK I am hating my pre-op liquid diet!!!!!!!! 

I am hating the sabotaging thoughts that I am having that if the pre-op diet is this hard---how will I make it after surgery? 

I am hating that I need to exercise to accelerate my weight loss and can't because I have an appointment affiliated with surgery every day this week.  Seriously, are they trying to wear me down so that I will say forget it! 

I am hating that I am not nervous about surgery and worried that I will freak out the night before surgery. 

I am grateful because all of this is self-inflicted and there are many people with bigger problems.  I am trying to get surgery for not being able to control my appetite and there are people out there getting enough to eat.  Again, I am grateful because these are issues and they will all be resolved.

,

I hate getting older, it really SUCKS!! I hate that my DH has turned into another kid for me to take care of,(I still have 2 under 18 in the house) he had a TIA a few months ago, is now on cholesterol meds and I HAVE TO REMIND HIM TO TAKE HIS DRUGS, I feel like a nag, he can take care of himself, RIGHT? NOT!!!! He is doing too much, works 12 hour shifts, taking 3 college classes and makes too many appointments so he doesn't get enough sleep. Reminds me of the article Bette posted,  when do I have time to take care of me??? I hate that I hate non routine things, I get stressed when I have something non routine going on, something as little as a Dr apt, (I have mammogram, stress test, colonoscopy and optometry all at once) which just makes me want to eat crap. It's a constant fight. WHEW!! SIGH!!!

Feeling *****y because a co-worker is trying to throw me under the bus while smiling in my face.  I just want to snap him in half next time I see him.

Also feeling *****y because the teaching gig I took on a few weeks ago that was supposed to "keep me busy in the mornings" is consuming my entire life, and I am trying to function on average with 2 hours of sleep a day.  No sleep=cranky Nance=snacky Nance= I CAN"T LOSE MY F&*!&$&(*G CHRISTMAS WEIGHT! 

*****y because I ran a 5K with my 64 y.o. FIL last weekend and although I blew him out of the water in November, he has been working out and I have parked my lazy ass in front of a computer for three months.  He beat me by one second.  Now he won't stop giving me training advice.  I just want to snap him in half too.
