oh monse -- my heart is going out to you today. i am so sorry to hear about

your dad. please try to hang in there and know that i am thinking of you.

i understand that you dont feel like working out and dieting and such but we

dont want to lose you from this group! maybe you could try to do some yoga

during this difficult time - that always helps to calm me down when i feel

really stressed. take care!

How awful to be going through this with your Dad....do you have

siblings ?? Try to talk about it -- to whoever -- couldn't even

imagine ;(

Peace

AmyBeth-who reminds you that your food cravings are stress

related and if you don't want to continue the Challenge......that is

wise.....to know that....do what you CAN do and revel in that

HELLO...you're our family. It doesn't matter if it

has anything to do with Tae-Bo. You're family and if

you're hurting, we hurt. So of course it's OK to

post. Please take time out for you and yourself.

We'll still be here for you as well as all the tapes

you have. We shouldn't have to go through anything

alone.

I'm sorry to hear about the issues you're having with

your father as well as personally. I will keep y'all

in my prayers.

Hey, did you try to call me? I had on my CID " Canada

Call " and it doesn't match any of the numbers I have

for my Canadian friends and of course they didn't

leave a message. I forgot to save the number. I was

wondering if it was a work number or something. 419

area code.

Montserrat:

You know what? If you can't continue with the 100 challenge, you

can't! So what?!? But PLEASE don't leave the list.

I know what you're speaking about. When I was growing up, my mother

was in and out of mental hospitals (she still is, as a matter of

fact, and I'm 40).

When I was about 12 years old, I was eating peanut butter and I

forgot to put it up. My mother saw me and hit me with a hanger

across my shoulders and back. I told my father and it seemed like

the next day, he had her committed to the hospital. I had always

believed that it was MY fault that my mother is mentally ill because

of that incident.

I never told anyone growing up... I never brought friends to the

house because I was ashamed.

I know what you're going through. I know how stressed you are.

Please take care of yourself. Work out if you want, or don't work

out if you want. Please stay on the list, but take a break if you

must.

Please feel free to e-mail me at hackja@.... I hope you stay

in touch and at least read the list, because you have been kind

enough to a newbie like myself to provide such wonderful

encouragement.

But I'm being selfish because I like you! Please take care of you,

okay?!? <but I hope you stay!> Janet

Oh no, I hope things work out for you, especially with your father.

Take things a day at a time, and good way to help you through such a

stressful time is to do yoga. It will totally relax you. Other

remedies are a hot bath with lavender oil and bubbles along with a

glass of wine, always makes me feel better!!! lol If you are having

problems sleeping because of headaches, put some lavender on your

pillow at night, works wonders.

Take care and hope it works out for you.

I second this for sure.... I look at you guys as being great friends. I share

a lot what is going on in my life w/ my friends and would hope everyone

else feels welcome to as well.

Monse,

I'm very sorry to hear about your father. I realize

that his condition is very stressful to you. Please

try to take care of yourself during this difficult

time. Exercise when you can. It will help reduce

your stress level. Make sure you eat enough protein

as that will help you with your carb cravings by

keeping your blood sugar more level. Feel free to

e-mail me personally if you need to " talk " .
