Happy Holiday Everyone,

I hope everyone is celebrating the Holiday with family and friends,

this is a very difficult day for me. Hope you don't mind if I vent a

little, for some reason I need to.

I had a disasterous food day, I'm not proud for what I've done, I'm

ready to re-group and re-focus.

Out of the year this is the only day when I sit back and think how

wonderful it would be to be able to see all Christmas decoration that

I hear about. I know I should know better...........LOL

On the positive side, I'm not as sice as I would normally would have

gotten before starting Bee's diet. So far I haven't had any

discomfort whatsoever, bloating, mental fog,............. I'm not

proud of what I've done but what I'm happy about is that I'm getting

better and I must get back on track and stay focus for the upcoming

holiday (the New Year) celebration.

I feel much better alread, thanks for listening.

Maddalena

I have to agree. I did much better this year than I have other years.

I followed my plan to stray only 1 day rather than the

whole " season " . I stayed away from the candy and made sure I ate

plenty of fats to accompany the peach pie. My family is growing

accustom to me taking the bones (which I think is cool). This time I

got a huge ham bone. I should have plenty of soup for the New Year

which will help alot. Thank you for all you contribute to our group.

You have inspired me. In 2007 I am going to grow chocolate mint and

make chocolate mint coconut oil and think of you! " May you and those

you love remain strong in body and be free of disease. My those who

suffer from injury or illness recover quickly and completely "

Maddelena,

How are you doing today? I have been thinking about you and hope that you

are in better spirits. Don't be hard on yourself for cheating, sometimes

this is exactly what we need to help us forge ahead and maintain this

challenging plan. I am pleased to hear that you did not get as sick as you

normally did, I also deviated from the diet with a piece of decadent

cheesecake and it really didn't phase my system at all. This tells me that

all my hardwork is paying off. I can remember when I had butternut squash

over the summer and the next day I could not get out of bed, I had a squash

hangover! So keep up the good work and pretty soon we will be celebrating

your one year anniversary. Mine is in Feb, won't be long.

Dear Shirley thank you for thinking of me, unfortunately, I'm not doing too

good, I did let my depression get the best of me. However, it's not as bad as

it could of been or was in the past, all the hard work is paying off.

I'm happy to hear that the cheesecake you indulged on didn't affect you in a

negative way, keep up the good work. As a friend told me this is the year to be

healthier. With Bee's help we all can look forward to a better and healthier

lifestyle. Thanks Bee for all you've done and will continue to do for us all.

My one year anniversary will be a month after yours, in March, looking forward

to celebrate for sure. :-;

Happy New Year Everyone, may God Bless you All.

Maddalena

Maddelena,

If you dont mind my asking what did you do to make you

feel this way? Was it something you ate?

I am asking just because i am beginning this new way

of life slowly and trying to understand the benefits.

Hi There, if you are asking why I got depressed, the reason is I had way too

much free time on my hands and started to feel sorry for myself.

I.e: I would hear about all the Christmas decoration that I can't see. My

father died 3 years ago and a lot of memories came back to be. Most of my

friends were busy with their families which I can understand, what kept on

getting me down was. What are you doing for the holiday? My reply was I'll

stay home by myself. But dear don't you have family and friends that could

invite you? What's the use on telling people that most of my friends were busy

or out of town. As you can see the situation snowball and I got more and more

sorry for myself.

My advise to you is, stick to Bee's diet and in no time will not have to face

the depression. I know I've being there than that.

Good luck, my friend.

Maddalena

maddelena,

I am so sorry that you went there. I had something

similar happen so i can understand. It's hard for

some of us at the holidays and it's not always like

the Folger's commercial. The holidays are unhappy

times for some of us who have lost someone dear to us

and we all feel that pain. And you are right, for

some the holidays are better times than for others.

My daughter said to me this year, the holidays are

kinda fake at times because we are all not happy and

we have to act like we are.

I personally cant wait till they end! It has beena

bad year for our family and we are not celebrating but

trying to get thru this holiday. it's new years eve

and not everyone is out celebrating. But there is

always someone worse off than you and me. A friend of

ours just called us today and told us his dad fell

down a flight of stairs and is now clinging to life

tonight. That helped us put it into perspective.

Maybe ours is not the picture perfect, but we will get

thru and move on. Others will not.

I am quiet content at times being alone to reflect on

my own thoughts.

Try to find contentment in this holiday and stick to

the diet ( haah) that will give you something positive

to thin about.

It is nice getting to know you and just know you are

not alone!

I'm so sorry Maddalena! Someone spoke about hearing someone worse off

than you and cheering them up so if it can make you feel better, I

haven't had a Christmas in well over 10 years! By no Christmas I mean

always alone, no love, no invitations even though people know I'm

alone and could use a free dinner, LOL, no gifts, no wishes, no tree,

no decorations and barely one card from a complete stranger!

Most holidays I remember as going hungry as somehow means to get

groceries tend to run out at the same time this month! This year I

don't even have TV so I have no idea it's Christmas! (But the good

part is I'm missing all the food commercials! And by luck, I've had

food this um...holiday.) So I've learned to tune it out. I used to get

severely depressed every Christmas, wanting someone to care about me.

Then I was numb and now I'm just indifferent, it's like people that

say " Christmas " speak a word in a language that's been completely

erased from my memory banks. I have no idea what it means like to have

a " Christmas spirit " and I'm okay.

I'm just glad I got Bee here for all the good information and support

and all of you to read and share our experiences and sometimes a

little laughter too. My life isn't going anywhere fast so I guess it's

not a big deal when it's be over. It's been one pathetic rerun, LOL!

(I'm not saying this out of pity, it's just a realistic fact that no

longer affects me one way or the other. If I can't do anything about

it, I might as well be Zen about it and not be affected in either

direction anymore). Also the fats removed my depression better than 5-HTP!

Happy New Year to you Maddalena, to Bee, Jackie, all the Debbys and

everyone that I've had the pleasure to chat with by email and/or

entertain here with my silly posts. That is a bit of happiness I take

with me so thank you all!

Chris.

[Guest guest]

Happy New Year Chris. If you and maddelena lives near

to me i would have you both over every year.

I do that for another neighbor who is a widow and her

chldren live away.

It;s good for the soul to help others.
