Hi Everyone! Hope everyone is having a good day. All this talk about gas makes me glad I can take the subway everywhere.

Hope you get better soon Bill and good luck with the little guy Val.

Driving is fun but trying to find a parking spot in Brooklyn is not so fun so I'm stuck with my two feet and a metro card.

[joee5]

Thank you all for your kind words and empathy. I have been down in the dumps for a few days now. I dont know why. I feel like I will never get there. I feel ashamed and embaressed for the husband. I look down and all I see nasty, nasty, nasty. I hate feeling this way. I dont know how to get out of it. I was doing so good. I was on track and suporting myself and then BAM! I see my picture and all the mental and physical work goes out the window. This will pass soon I hope. I dont dare get on the scale. It is really humid right now and I always retain water when its humid. I fear for my family if I put one foot on that scale..lol. Oh lordy lordy. I gotta get out of this funk! I have a really busy month next month...shows, wedding, backyard party, dedication at church ( I gotta get on the altar)...someone please send some confidence dust my way??

Hey all, poor Elsie, lost all her posts (you should open a word document and write in there while you read over the posts, then you copy and paste and never lose a thing!!)

Vanessa, I was out your way once, a Wash DC trip for college, the subway rocked!!! We got everywhere we wanted to go, easy peasy!!

Oh Andiepie, snap out of it!!! This may not be the summer you become "perfect" again, but you are going to feel better as you go!! Take comfort in the fact that you are taking steps in the right direction. It won't happen overnight, but you will do it!!!! Serioulsy try to work in exercise if you can, I am losing and feeling a little "jiggly" around the middle I noticed the past couple of days. I better get toning up so I don't feel totally gross!! Soon summer will be over and you can hide behind winter and fall clothes till you break out of your coocoon (sp??) come spring!!! You WILL have confidence, you are just having a moment. Remember it took a long time to put the wt on, DO NOT expect it to come off in a month!! You will be YOU again, just hang in there, time flies!! It really does!!

BTW, I just found out I have ANOTHER appt for baby tomorrow!! I am so tired of running around, and not getting studying done!! Oh well, only 4 more tests and one assignment, maybe 2 extra credit assingments too. Almost there!!! I mowed the lawn today, got my exercise. Have a good nite all.

I love taking the subway. It makes life simple plus I get more exercise not having a car and its better for the environment.
I hope you feel better soon Andie. Maybe you're not 100% thrilled with how you look now (heck, none of us are otherwise we wouldn't be here) but you are taking steps to change that and to get healthy and that is the important thing. Keep your chin up!

[moniegail]

Andie-so sorry you are having a rough time as of late, glad you came here to share with us. we all go through a rough patch here and there and it's great we can come here and lean on one another.
there's no reason to feel ashamed and embaressed for your DH, you are a beautiful girl and are doing so great. look at your stats, you've lost almost 20 lbs!!!! you should be ecstatic right now.
maybe doing some exercises will help. if i even think i'm getting a little bummed, i hit the floor and bust out 100 crunches or do some pushups, and my mood is completely changed.

if that doesn't help, you could always call bill up and ask him to make you a ballon in the shape of a poodle

seriously though, i hope you can find a way to get yourself feeling better about yourself. you are taking the steps you needed to take to become a healthier and happier person. think about the changes you are making and don't dwell on the person you were, because you are not that same person. you CAN achieve all your goals you set for yourself. just BELIEVE in yourself. everyone here believes in you and are here for you any time you need someone to lean on.

hope that tomorrow is a better day for you.

Good point monie - the best cure for depression is exercise! If you're feeling down the best thing to do is just get up and do something - even if its just a walk around the block to clear your head. I promise you will feel better after.
