Guest guest Posted November 27, 2000 Report Share Posted November 27, 2000 Angie - WOW. That must have been devastating! I can't even imagine..... You've obviously got strength inside - you're holding together, and coping. You'll start a new part of your life without him, and it won't necessarily be better - but it will be different. Take each day as it comes, and post if you need to chat..... Terri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 28, 2000 Report Share Posted November 28, 2000 Wow, Angie, my heart goes out to you. I am heartened, however, to hear that you are doing as well as you are. When I had an eight year relationship end years ago, I thought I would not survive it. It was then that I got so heavy. SO I think it is wonderful that you are concentrating on losing the last ten lbs., My advice, don't make life hard on yourself and don't isolate. Low carb eating will probably help, at least it keeps me more emotionally even than when I eat a lot of carbs. Hang in there, it does get better. a Thanks & LONG POST!! > Hi gang, > > Thanks for the " welcome back " . I need all the support I can get, and I > think a 12 step program would be great!

Guest guest Posted November 28, 2000 Report Share Posted November 28, 2000 Yes Angie What a says is true. I have been through it . I say watch out when they start dying their hair. Time for that midlife crises. I have been through so many separations and divorces with family and friends. Mine only one. I feel their pain. Everything happens for a reason and from every bad thing comes good. If you need a friend I am here. email me privately Norma norwood@...

Guest guest Posted November 28, 2000 Report Share Posted November 28, 2000 Angie - my heart and hugs go out to you. You have been going through and will continue to go through a very stressful time but you will make it with the help of your family and friends. When it comes out of the blue like that it must be so hard to deal with and you will have a lot of healing to do. Take your time and get some counseling if you feel the need. You know people (list people) we all have something to learn here. On a list like this we get to depending on certain people to post this or that and when they don't post often sometimes we start to think - " they must be off plan " " they must not want to talk to us " " they have better things to do " or something like that. But what we all have to remember is that through this or any list we only see a small part of a persons life. Sometimes people don't post often because of such stresses going on in their life that they don't have the time or even the will to post sometimes. It's hard to post and keep active if you are in a lot of pain no matter where that pain is coming from. Angie - if you need to vent you can and remember we will be here to support you in this WOL and in general if you need us too. I'm glad you came back and look forward to you getting those last 10 pounds off :-) Take Care G. 230/206/130 Sept/2000 ICQ #349692 Home Page - http://www.brunnet.net/k & l You can't change the direction of the wind, But you can adjust your sails.

Guest guest Posted November 28, 2000 Report Share Posted November 28, 2000 I'm so sorry to hear about your divorce. I'm glad to hear you are getting the support you need. Working out and planning and cooking your meals might be just what you need. It would give you a sense of control over your life and your health. I usually cook in batches and freeze the rest. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Beth Hi gang, Thanks for the " welcome back " . I need all the support I can get, and I think a 12 step program would be great! For those of you interested in my setback, here goes. After 11 1/2 years of marriage my husband came home from a trip over the labor day weekend and informed me that he no longer wanted to be married. Needless to say, this came as a shock. The only indication I even had that it was coming was a simple sentence in June during dinner when I asked him what was on his mind, and he said " I don't think I'm happy " . We went through the summer fine, and I didn't think about it again. Absolutely devastated doesn't even begin to touch the surface of the gamut of emotions I have been through. I moved to an apartment the 1st weekend of October and have began settling into a pattern. The move was hard on me physically as well as emotionally. I haven't been to the gym since I moved or to the workout facility here at the apartment complex. Somehow by the grace of God, I have survived with the support of my family and wonderful crew at work. I am so grateful to have the wonderful friends I have also. He and I are still friends at the moment, but the divorce will be final around December 18, so we'll see how that goes. I have literally know him half of my life and don't really know where to go. Some days I feel like I'm just a feather in the wind, tossed about with no idea where I'll land. Anyway, I've been waffling with losing this last 10 lbs for a couple of months as I've had people who haven't seen me in a while inquire about my health ( " have you been sick or something " ) but I think they are seeing the stress and lack of sleep rather than the weight loss. I'm really having a hard time cooking for one, so I tend to eat either junk or nothing and you know what they say, garbage in, garbage out. I think being off this WOL has caused me skin trouble, as well as just not feeling good in general. If my fibromyalgia starts acting up, I manage to get down a couple of liters of water, and get back on track that way, but I have to start planning my meals again! Sorry so long and thanks for listening. I'm open to any and all suggestions. Thanks again, Angie in Chattanooga Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
