Things I learned about me this past week. . .

That in the most stressful and emotional of times, I don't have to eat my way through it all, which is not to say that at some points I didn't find myself going there, just that I caught it and stopped midstream, realizing that food was not going to change anything I was going through and just make me feel bad in the long run.  That when I cannot get to the gym, it makes me feel as though a part of my life is incomplete and I also feel guilty.  That I have to stay focused a little better as there were days I forgot to take my full regimen of supplements and get in the right amounts of water.  That coming here and sharing my pain, as well as my successes helps me stay on track, something I already know, but once more was proved out.  That you all are wonderful, caring people and that without having come this way, who knows how I would have made it through this set of cir****tances.  I am blessed and enriched and just wanted to express my gratitude for all of you. 

Thanks

Peace, Laureen


My Mantra is that I do not determine my success by the number hanging in my closet, nor will I let the scale determine that success either. . .  It is through trial and error I will continue to grow and succeed. . .  Laureen

You are an amazing and strong woman, Laureen!  Your pain, is our pain...your success is our success.  Good for you for being so self aware.

Give Dillinger lots of kisses!

Nice post. It's good that you are able to look at the positive things you can do for yourself. I've been thinking about you and Dillinger and can only imagine how stressful all this has been.

Hugs to you

I love you Big Sis :)  It was so great talking to you on Wednesday and I've been thinking of you and Dillinger nonstop.  I agree with HG, good for you for being so self-aware and being able to stay on track.  You are wonderful all-around!

Your Little Sis,
Lisa :)
