What's on Your (photo) Friday Menu, RNYers?
Morning gang. I know it's Friday and I should be more excited but I just can't bring myself to feel anything but yuck today. I'm going through some stuff right now, mostly work related, and it's really bringing me down. Hoping to have some changes made soon so I can shake off this dark cloud I feel over my head, so that's good.
Haven't had a chance to get the pics from my kids trip to Ecuador downloaded, so you guys will have to just deal with a picture of my lunch today! This is the kind of photo Friday pic I can get behind. This is 3oz of turkey, 2 strips of center cut bacon with red onion, lettuce and a small tomato. I'm going to try to eat it on half a flat out wrap with a bit of mayo.
KQOTD: I don't know if Credence Clearwater Revival would be considered a 60s band or a 70s band, but I would LOVE to see them. Or maybe the Ramones. Hell, if I'm going that route I may as well pick the Sex Pistols! yeah, that's it, I'd want to see the Sex Pistols. Or the Dead Kennedy's, hmmm. The Misfits, who I saw without Glenn Danzig back in 1995. Well, apparently I will be listening to some music today, too bad it's not the type of stuff to make me all cheerful. If you guys hear a new story about how someone trashed an office in Metro Detroit, just know that I was probably listening to some old school punk and things just got outta hand.

I hope you feel better. I understand what you are going through. It can be very hard to pull ourselves out of a dark place. Kat one time said to me feelings are feelings they are not right or wrong. Just how we act to them.
Writing down what good you have done. Not only with weight loss but just changes you made. Like how you can play with your kids and how things are easier now that you lost weight.
Sending good thoughts your way. Remember you deserve to be happy.
My therapist and I have talked about the fact that I tend to keep myself in situations that hurt me because I don't want to inconvenience or hurt someone else. This goes back to being a giver and the "fat girl" mentality that I need to be the one to sacrifice if things go bad. I'm just about done with that, but it's a hard habit to break. So, right now I'm basically breaking out of my old shell, and the transition is difficult to say the least.

Change is never easy. Even when the change is good. Keep on keeping on. Learning to set healthy boundaries is one of life's really tough lessons. You can do it and you deserve to have all of your needs met by your job.
