A New Experience

Hey there Lisa,
Sorry I haven't swung by for a bit - my new job has kept me so busy!
I hate to read that you're not coming back - hope you change your mind :(
I like Adam Lambert too, I reckon he's a gem, and I often put his music on when I'm in the shower (where I can sing and boogie without the kids laughing at me lol).

Hope you do make the most of the free time you have, and I'll miss you 'till you come back.
 
I'm sorry I didn't visit you more often because you were one of the first to respond to me when I came back here in January. Remember who you are and don't give up your healthy goals. All the best.
 
I'm so sorry to see you go Lisa and that you couldn't find the support that you needed here. Lots of my favourite people seem to be leaving lately. I hope that you will pop in every now and again to let us know how you are getting on. Send me a site mail if you don't want to post here.
I wish you lots of luck in your journey to a healthy you xxx
 
Hey Lisa....

Sorry I couldn't be here for ya bud. I have a packsack full of crap that I'm having a hard time dealing with myself, let alone trying to help others on this journey.

Doesn't mean I'm not thinkin bout you (or anybody else on here that I bumped into)....just means I can't be the support when I am looking for (other) support). Make sense?? lol Probably not....but thats what I feel like.

Anyways...you gotta do what yo gotta do. If you feel you need more attention or support, you find it. If you need a break...you take it. Just do whatever makes you feel better.
And hopefully you can stop by and visit and offer support once again.

Take care and good luck on your journey to well being.

Thanks guys....that wasn't aimed at people busy dealing with real life stuff and hardly posting here at all. You do what you can. Just some people have time to post on here everyday and all over the place, thats what I meant.

But it doesn't matter....like I said people either connect or they don't. Once it becomes work or a chore then something is wrong. I used to have a support group where it was effortless...we'd always know what to say and loved seeing the others journals...it was enjoyable cuz we all clicked. Heck when somebody disappeared we missed them and kept posting for months. It's what made this so much better than sitting at a WW meeting with a bunch of strangers. We'd made friendships, not acquaintances and that's not something you can force.

Which leads me to the conclusion I don't fit in here anymore, nobody's fault (no matter how butthurt I was, lol). So I'm moving on to try and find that again. A friend moved onto myfitnesspal and it seems more of a mature age group so that's where I'm going. Feel free to swing by but if not, thats ok. I know one forum is alot to handle as it is.

If I can leave ya'll with one thought it's that I think we all should start being a bit more selfish about our health and weightloss and even happiness in general. Most of us put ourselves on the bottom of the list of priorities...heck for some we're not even on the list. With my whole life spent as a caregiver by nature, even in my job, I'm finding that I have to stop and do that if I want to have anything left to give anyone else. Take care of yourselves guys and be selfish sometimes :) *hugz* ~Lisa
 
Good advice Lisa, we need to take care of ourselves so that we are healthy enough to take care of others. xx
 
Lisa, really sad to see you move on. Like Flumes says, the last month or two has been really difficult for some of us but for me, the absence was temporarily and I'm trying to come back to posting everyday.

I'm sorry to hear about your job - its so difficult when change is forced upon us. I was laid off quite a few years from a job that I worked so hard to get (40 of us got taken on out of 10,000 applicants and it was sold to us as a "golden career"...until the dot.com bubble burst!) but looking back now, although I was devestated at the time, I would never had ended up where I am if I'd stayed on that path so sometimes bad things happen for good reasons.

I wish you the very very best in all your endevours - work wise and health wise. If you can find the time, come back and see us - a diary is a huge commitment but posting hello and letting us know how you are getting on isn't! I've sent you my email by pm if you want to stay in touch.
hugs and love

So sorry to hear you're leaving the forum, but you have to do what is best for you. I wish you all the best with work and with your health and weight loss. You will be missed very much! (((hugs))) Jen
