Hi Friends. What happens to the time? I am going thru another one of my times of online aversion. I am really bad with it now with my new laptop. I do not like Windows 7 at all!

I've read all the posts since my last one. YOU ladies are really kicking butt! I'd like to add my 2cents to the comment made about food causing depression. Call me strange, but I suspect things are added to our foods to make us want more. I know that when I eat breads, crackers, cereal, etc, I can eat the entire box and still not be satisfied. I think that is why my meal plan is working so well for me. No breads, crackers, cereals, chips.

Only 10 days left this month. Make them successful!

ok, ladies (we are all female, right?) this has been a disaster of a week! i was going great guns until my husband came home. i felt i clearly told him about my eating plan, but evidently, he heard very little. he went to sonic and brought me the largest burger they have, and a 44oz cherry limeade, and french fries. only glad there was no dessert. then he went out for breakfast nad came back with coffee, but was all flustered because he forgot to get me donuts. he picked up chinese food with at least half the meal as fried rice, and wanted me to have fried noodles on my chow mein. i said--we need to talk. and again i laid out my food plan. we went to the mall on an errand and there's olive garden, which he thought would be nice for father's day. i had tilapia with parmesan crust and steamed summer veggies, half a bread stick in maranara sauce, and 4 grilled shrimp in a lemon garlic butter sauce, and big confession--1/3 of a tiramisu. and 6 cups of coffee. i left my new 1ltr water bottle at the mall--boo, hiss. my dh is recovering from cancer and needs to GAIN weight and in the past 2 weeks has lost 7 lbs (while out of town). i have to find a way for him to bulk up and me to slim down. so far it's not happening and you all know i was losing weight! i think it's all the mad dashes to the bathroom! HELP! how can i feed him real food high in calories and protein while i eat frozen microwave lean cuisine?

MJ - I wound up not going to church so I didn't get in trouble there. My gastroparesis kicked up and I had quit a bit of stomach pain so I just layed around all day.

It's been storming here and is supposed to storm for the next five days - that will not help my depression. I have several mental illnes diagnosis and it's a real battle to keep my meds balanced to keep them under control. Luckily I have a very understanding husband. I really appreciate the support I get from this board.

Good morning! Thank goodness I slept well last night and the headache disappeared!

Jeanne, we are your friends. Don't give up! I do the medication jitterbug often because of my multiple organ failures, etc. The one thing I have learned is never give up!

For a long time, I had under my avatar: Adapt! Improvise! Overcome! the motto of the marines, but it worked well for me.

Missy, congratulations on your (almost) engagement! I am so thrilled for you!

Leanne, I hate Windows 7. I use Mozilla Chrome and am much happier with it. I'm still trying to learn the details of Word 2010, a challenge, to be sure.

Nancia, congratulations! I am happy for you! Losing 5 pounds is wonderful!

Xylie, where are you this morning? I miss you.

Journal: anyone still writing? What is the ONE thing I can do today to myself successful at my goal?

Motivation: I think I can COULD!

Quilting? I just finished the premie baby quilt top and my machine locked up. Gave me the error code that thread was tangled in the motor...I'm gonna try to fix this. Wish me luck!
WAYWO?

Oh Nancia Dallas is so different from when I left Texas in 94. Gosh it is so hot there and I call it a concrete jungle now. There are so many people and cars and buildings. UGH! So, we are bringing my nephews to my dad's house and getting the heck out of there. Too hot! We will be spending time in east Texas where my mom's family is from and then heading towards MJ and then to Tennessee to see my brother and back to South Dakota. Long trip but fun nonetheless.
