Getting Back Up when you have fallen

I am going to look at the lap band manual tonight.  Thanks sis

((((Brenda)))) I feel your pain.  We have to dust ourselves off and regroup, recommit to the things that we need to be doing.  Remember how we said we wanted to look....dammit we have got to quit banging our heads against the wall  and exercise  and follow the rules.

Yes, mamn you are a great accountability partner.  I will be on it.

Chile - welcome to real life!!!  I did the SAME freakin thing when things were rough on my job - me and the candyman got together and it was a rough breakup once I decided that mofo had to go!  LOL - you will get a 'cut point' - the feeling that enough is enough and get back on track - you have come too far to allow things to fall apart now!!!

And it ain't a bad thing to indulge your feelings - we all react negatively to stress and a mofo telling you to exercise instead of eating a choc chip cookie ain't gon work - cause for real **** that treadmill - I don't know about you,but I'm eating the mofoin cookie!!!!

But you gotta get your head back in the game - hopefully now that you know you are alright with the job situation, you can relax a bit and get back in gear. 

Trying so hard.  I just am dealing with this being divorced soon and all the other crap.

((((Brenda)))) Girl we are all fighting some kind of demon. I personally am fighting this  demon. I have been out of control with drinking wine & vodka like daily. My hubby and son have both commented to me about it so I know it's bad. I have vowed to get back on track and reduce my drinking to a minimum of weekend only. It took everything in me to not swing by the liquor store after work yesterday but I did it. I ain't say I was gonna quit cold turkey, but ummm I'm just gonna take it one day at a time, really that's all we can do. Get your head back in the game like MM said and get on your grind.

I will girlie.  Thanks for the encouraging words

I am also fighting demons...sometimes it feels like I can't win for losing!

I pray...A LOT!  I know He won't give me more than I can handle.
Take things one day at a time.  Things can always be worse.

My  for all of us out here fighting!

Keep fighting Kim, and thank you for keeping us in your prayers

Brenda, When you get a moment, read my profile. I have gone through everything you described. 1. Don't be ashamed to seek professional help. I saw a therapist for YEARS and it was vital for my sanity. 2. Get an accountability partner who will give it to you straight. Not only would this person tell you what to do, but they will do it with you. 3. Learn how to say no. No to baking for friends and family. This is for your health -- you have to look out for self. 4. Write positive affirmations to yourself and leave them everywhere (computer, refrigerator, mirror). 5. Pray, pray, and pray some more. Best wishes to you.
