Supporting Red...

[jaded_lily]

Not too bad. I've been working a lot which is good and on my day offs I find myself spending more time with the kids and spouse and less on the computer. A good thing I think though I miss folks around here an awful lot. So though I may not be online as much I do try to pop in and chat when I can.

How are you?

My weight loss is at a stand still right now, my own fault I know. I just need to get back to the basics. I've gotten relaxed and lazy.

I'm doing ok.......going through some medical non GBS related stuff..........I've gotten lazy too I need to get back on track, gained 20 lbs back ughhhhhhhh

Hello there.

It's easy to do. I'm just stagnant right now, but I know that could change if I don't watch myself and get back on track.

I hope the medical stuff gets cleared up soon for you.

Mine is more like the bad habit I've always fought since day one of this thing, taking vitamins and not drinking Mt. Dew. I can eat just about anything and though I eat it I don't over eat it. It's mainly the soda I drink.

Yeah I hear that..................I try so hard not to overdo it..........sometimes I think I stretched the pouch......which scares me to death. I don't ever want to get back to where I was before.

I think that's a worry all GB patiants have. I know I worry. I can't eat a lot but sometimes I think... is this too much?

Right now one cheeseburger from McD's fills me up completely. So I usually have only half of one and a few fries, if I go to McD's. I don't think that's too much, but in my mind I'm always second guessing my portions. I worry too that if I go back and actually start measuring them again, I'll find out I am eating too much.

Can't do the burgers from there but I can Burger King lol.......

lol... Burger King is good too.

I remember when I started down this path, I wanted to be one of the people that couldn't eat any of the "bad" stuff, because I was scared I'd overeat them. Now... looking back, I am glad I can eat them, though I do have to be careful.

I used to eat Dairy Queen Peanut Buster Parfaits, but those are too big for me, so now I get a small hot fudge sundae with nuts, it's like a mini Buster.

LOL I think that would cause a problem for me...........I still wanna be one of those people that can't eat any of the "bad" stuff.................would curb my candy addiction real quick...........that and Mt Dew is my worst enemy at this point in time......

The only thing that bothers me now is really rich desserts, like Cheesecake. That gets me every time.

Mt. Dew is MY ENEMY, but it's a tasty one.

Yeah that it is

I think if I could just get myself through the vitamin issues, then maybe someday I could conquer the Mt. Dew hurdle.

I think at this point the only way for me to get back on track it to kick the Mt Dew habit and start all over............yeah I'm that far gone

*nods* I would probably agree with you, about me starting over too, but I'm not ready yet to abandon the Dew. Funny how something so small and simple can have such a big hold on a person. It's just sugar and water!!!!

This is true.

Sorry to have disappeared on you the other day. I got suddenly tired. That seems to be going around a lot here on my side of the screen.

So where have I been? ? ?

I've been here at home, rarely on the computer anymore. When I do have some free time from my job and my day off correlates with the spouse's, we are usually doing something together... a good thing. Many of you know he and I have had problems, some severe enough I was >< this close to leaving. Many tears were shed by the both of us, many things done that can't be undone. . . but reevaluating my life was a priority I had to make tops.

I miss Lit and all the friends here and I'm not disappearing completely, but I do know I am no longer addicted to this site. I miss writing too, but right now I don't have the drive to do it, perhaps if I ever get my laptop fixed that will change.

What's been going on with me... well, for those of you that remember... back in Feb. I bought a new car, a 2007 Red Chevy Cobalt. If you click the attached pictures, you'll see what happened to it in Aug.

I lost control on a gravel road and rolled it. I came out with only minor scratches on my left arm and some severe bruising on my belly. VERY LUCKY! I was wearing my seatbelt or I would have probably been thrown from the vehicle, which is exactly what happened to all the loose things in the car.

We've replaced the car, with another 2007 Cobalt, this one is black and fully loaded with leather and a sunroof even. I like it, but .... I don't seem as connected to it as I was the Red one.

Work is going well. I'm hoping to be promoted as soon as a store manager position becomes available.

Weight loss has remained stagnant. I did go back to limiting my Mt. Dew, so that's a BIG plus. It'll be 2 years this month on the 24!! I'm down 183 lbs. Amazing!! The weight loss is probably another reason I'm not online so much. My self esteem is higher because I don't feel I have to hide behind a screen. I am healthy enough to join the world that waits for me outside my door.

Just running through on my way to bed to give a big hug to you hun...

{{{{{{{{{Red}}}}}}}}}

I have been wondering how you were as you'd not been around...glad to hear you are doing well and feeling much more confident in yourself these days and enjoying life

That looks like a nasty crash...you were indeed lucky to come out of it as unharmed as you did...pity the same can't be said for the car!

Good luck with the job situation and it's good to see you around...even though you're not here as much please don't be a complete stranger and let us know how things are going when you are able.

Take care sweetie

xxxx
