I'm BACK..............
Ok so I am back, now what right? Well I just realized how much I need this board and you people and how much that my posts might have helped someone else. So as you can see I am back. I have been doing pretty good, just really busy with the kids and with Christmas coming. It seems like I am stretched way toooooooooooo thin, boy I wish I was thin lol...So hopefully my posts will or did in the past help others and will continue. I know that I don't always post a lot, but read, and your posts help me so I don't feel like the only one going through this. Well take care for all now, and hopefully I will hear from you all soon. Thanksgiving went well and I didn't gain, I could hardly eat anything anyway. I am still roughly the same as I have been, up and down with swelling feet because of salt and then back down the next day with no realy loss lately. But I am not gaining either so that's a plus. Take care all...Hugs...Angela
Welcome back Angela! I've missed you around here! Glad to hear you are doing well. Keeping busy this time of year isn't hard to do is it? haha! The holidays are always rough...busy, trying to eat the right stuff, keep the kids focused enough for school (at least that's the issue I have with them! ha!) It's a challenge!
I gotta agree with you that the support here is great! We've missed your input! Glad you are back!

Yay you're are back!!! You have been missed!!
The holidays are difficult for lots of reasons, not just food related but some of us have combined the emotional issues of families with the emotional componant of eating I.E. Food is love and love is food!! So it is a minefield out there. Good for you for not gaining. What does the Dr say about your feet swelling?
I am finding I have lots more energy to get done the things I have to do, so that is good, but with all the "staging" I have had to do to show our house, I have misplaced all the Christmas ornaments and lights...can't find them anywhere. Had to practically tie myself down today so I wouldn't go out and buy new. Have a few more boxes to dig out and open before I admit they might have gone to the dump, oMG if that happened I don't know what I will do, ornaments for 35 years of marriage. At least all the kids except one have theirs...anyway...welcome back.
