No Longer MIA

MIA no longer.

I have not been on this site for quite awhile now and I will give the condensed Reader’s Digest version as to why.

I kind of had a melt down of sorts. Everything that could go wrong did. Health, mental, financial and personal issues can cause one a lot of grief when it comes all at the same time

I had ‘issues’ to work through and to instill in myself that I do matter and that I should come first for once. So I am going to be selfish in some aspects of my life and do for me first and others after.

It’s only been a couple of months but I feel like it has been an eternity. When you give up on yourself, your perspective changes. New year, new views as far as I am concerned.

This is not a New years resolution...it’s a life resolution.

The ‘issues’ in my life have not gone away but my coping mechanism and skills to deal with things have changed for the better.

My weight loss has been at stand still as I had fallen back into old bad habits however, I didn’t gain any of the weight back–just stopped losing. It was hard to look at my inner self in a constructive manner, but I did it and am the better for it

No where to start but at the beginning so here I start once again.......chances are made to be taken and life is meant to be lived.

I will be on OH more often and probably vent a lot more; well not probably but for certain I will vent more.

As Biff Naked sings:" I love myself today; not like yesterday. I’m cool, I’m calm, I’m going to be ok Uh Huh"

Cheers to all my Manitoba OH Family......

Welcome back, It's sounds like things can only go uphill from here on, hopefully with only a few little slips. As you know Manitoba is the best form to share your ups and downs, I hope to meet you at the next meet n greet, I think were due for one.

Congratulations on breaking through this hurdle in your health!  I believe we all go through these things but the true brave ones are the ones who come through the other side!!!

2011 will be your year!!!

I am happy that you have found your way back here!!

Welcome Back;

It is wonderful that you are starting the New Year by resolving to take care of yourself again.
Please remember to give yourself credit for how far you have already come! The loss of 58lbs is a major accomplishment!

Hope to see you in the New Year.

If my 19 o doesn't work and she doesn't have late classes then I will, other wise I will have no one to look after my youngest.

Thanks for letting me know though.  So very much appreciated :-)
