hi short,

i also try to combine moving and fun as much as possible. however, for me only when i do intensive exercise - i feel difference in my body and in my mind.

i like the way you structured your "food front". i will take some of your ideas to implement - thank you

Sleeper,
at the beginning i put heart shaped stickers on the wall calendar when i exercise to motivate myself

I am not even sure which movie-I guess anything! I went and got my hair done on Wed. I bought Carnation Breakfast powder, drinking it with whole milk. Yes I love fruit.
I went to S10's 4th grade play this morning. Sat next to MIL. H was two seats down, no conversation. Had to look (yuk) at his hand again and torure myself that he is not wearing ring. I noticed MIL looked at my left hand (rings on
Working on this thing called self esteem.
Need to get organized. Strange, friends used to call me, now phone hardly rings. I need them now more than ever, but I guess they want to be around someone HAPPY.
Live Happy
Always Agree
Be Confident

Could one of you start a similar thread on other forums, especially Newcomers?

Thanks!

Let's see--I didn't eat that great today, but I made the appointment that I need for physical therapy. I also ate a little bit better today. But I need to cut back on the sugar. Well, one thing at a time.

I also did exercise before I let myself come on here. Just a little, but it is a start. I am so out of shape I have to get in shape to get in shape.

Two Carnations with whole milk one ginger ale
took a nap, didn't sleep
H has boys this weekend. I am going to bed and try to sleep in. Maybe fo for a walk tomorrow and work on taxes.
Cook something good to eat.

Sgirl) - when my h left i didn't have any friends, any close friends. i conscientiously made a decision to have friends and i was blessed - i was able to develop some of my previous friendships to a deeper level and also found new ones. i ask one of my now dear friends - how to be friends? - she said - it's simple: you get what you put into it. most of my friends went through a similar situations one way or another.

about organization - have you heard about flylady?

breton) - "baby steps" - remember? did you watch "what about bob?"

sugar is a major, it is hard one to cut back and it can make a big difference also mood wise when you do cut it back. did you ate less sugar before?

compliments on your perseverances with exercise!

i can make myself to exercise every other day but for me to feel good every day exercise is a prescription. actually the last time i made myself run, i was telling to myself - it is life or death for you. it may sounds extreme but for me it's the only sure thing that gets me out of depression at least to some degree.

sgirl, you know, (just brainstorming) what about dark chocolate - it will give you calories and it is good for you (in manageable amounts)

i made myself some soup that my mother used to make me when i was little.

Flylady, no what is this? I do need friends now, but I can't get them if I am needy. I feel alone. I will reach out today. I am not going to talk about H or the injustice of it. I will make a list of things to do and check them off. I am going into work 4-8, then do something with a girl form work. My sister called me yesterday, so I will call her back. tired--
