Hello all

Hi all,

I haven't been on here forever it seems. I am usually out the door at 7am and not back home till 8-9 pm and then right to bed.  I am doing ok just dealing with lots of stress and stuff right now. Trying to stay healthy, everyone around me has colds,coughs etc.  Still helping my daughter sort through stuff from the flood damage and stuff to separate for the divorce, and helping with my granddaughters.

My weight loss has stalled, but I haven't gained any back at least.  I know why I am not losing (eating is all out of balance, and at inconsistant times) and will get back on track soon. I am still seeing the nutritionist and trying to plan.eat better....I just don;t have any appetite now days.

Hugs to all of you, Paulette

Paulette,

Sending you hugs right back, as well as prayers and positive thoughts to help you get through this stressful times. . .  please try to get your protein and fluids in, not just because of the stall, but to keep your health up, as stress is a big pull on the immune system.

Hugs, Laureen

Paulette.....just want you to know my thought and prayers are with you.

I pray things go smoothly for your daughter. Divorces can get so ugly!

Hope the NUT can help you with your eating. It is so important that we do this right. I wish you the best of luck.

Hugs, connie d

   Paulette,  Glad to see you post when you can.   One word of advice from one food addict to another......   With all the stress going on in your life......   this is the time to take care of yourself....      I understand the need to care for others.... but your health is so important not only to you and yours but to us also.  We certainly care what happens and want the best for you.  Don't put it off until it is easier or you have more time.  During stress is when we neglect ourselves and get into food trouble...  

  Of course this is self talk too..... I also have the same problem.. not eating right when stressed.  Take care of yourself....  Millie

Paulette:

I think of you often and wondered how you were doing. I know you are overwhelmed by stress; I have wanted to call you but figured you are so busy with your daughter's stuff that you either won't be home or will be busy taking care of your granddaughters that you can't handle a phone call. Carla says you will be coming to Frankenmuth after all. I'm so happy! You need to get away. Hang in there!

Paulette, I am so glad to see you back here even if it is only for a moment or two.

I am glad that things are going better for you and your family. In time things will get better and then before you know it it will be back to where it was before.

Remember to take care of you and know that we love you and only want the best for you. Just make sure that you eat when you can and get your fluids in. You must remain fed and hydrated. Two of the most important things for you to keep in the front of your mind.

I am sending love and hugs to you, dear one and I am keeping you and yours in special prayers.

Glad to hear from you, but sorry about the "stuff" going on right now.....take care of yourself, Paulette...we don't want you getting sick.

I hope you can join us in Frankenmuth.....hear it is kinda
up in the air, so to speak....looking forward to seeing everyone.

Paulette,
I wish I could give you a huge HUG!! Just venting to your OFF family may be a help, so check in when you are able. We are thinking good thoughts for you.

Hang tough!!
Annette
