Jen's Diary of Random Stuff

A[quote name="Frogged" url="/t/37050/jens-diary-of-random-stuff/520#post_812247"]LOL, my goodness! You and Chef are something else Can you two try to keep this thread pg-rated, yeah? rofl Anyway, don't worry, jen You know why you're ok? Because you recognized the problem, you know what you have to do, and you're being honest on the forum about it. That's why the forums are here: to support you and to vent about your good and bad days! You'll find your way back on track! I mean, you've got a GPS and a Cowboy there assisting you! Wow! Not to mention holidays are always full of temptation, so it's completely understandable! Just don't forget how strong you are and how much we all support you! Continue on and you'll make up for this little slip in no time! [/quote]


Thanks Frogged! I have no problem being PG rated..lol. It's... *ahem* other people..that have a problem. *coughChefcough* But anyways, thanks for the kind post. I know I'll get back on track. I always do.

I am so tired this morning. My daughter crawled in bed with me last night, and I'm pretty sure I woke up about 2,458,852 times last night to retrieve the covers and cover myself back up. She's a blanket hog. I don't know where in the world she got it from either. :blush5:


Also wanted to add that I hate the time change. It was dark at 5:30 yesterday. :( I saw this yesterday and it made me laugh, but it's soooo true for me..lol......

AWow...I haven't updated this thing in like a month. I'd like to say that I've lost a bunch of weight...but NOPE. I've been in a major funk this last month..and honestly really haven't given a shit about losing weight. I've had much more important things on my mind, like keeping a roof over my kids' head.

Last month I was let go from my work at home job. The company I was working for "restructured" their business model, and let go a TON of people. And since I was working technically as an independent contractor and not as an employee, I was not eligible for unemployment or anything. So, It was basically just a "uuuhh..we don't need you anymore....fuck off!" situation. It left a lot of people scrambling to find new work. Luckily, after freaking out, some major crying jags, a couple weeks of scouring the internet, and 2 really hard tests.....I did find a couple new work at home jobs. They aren't as easy as the other one was, but beggars can't be choosers. I need money and the flexibility of working from home.

I'm hoping after the holidays things will settle down, and I'll be able to get back on the weight loss bandwagon. I'm not even gonna try until after the holidays. I know I should start now, why waste time..and all that...but yeeeeeah..it's not happening. The fact that I'm even thinking about losing weight again is a major accomplishment after the last month. I was seriously in a bad depression. I'm still not totally out of it, other things are going on that are bugging me, not work related stuff.

***edit***


Soooooooooooo aaaaaaaanyway. Hopefully after the holidays things work themselves out, and I can get back on track. I need it desperately. So hopefully I'll be around more after Christmas. I hope everyone else is doing good and I wish you all good luck with your diets during this holiday season!
 
Sorry for all the crap you've been going through. I can say, without a doubt, that I know exactly what you are dealing with. Hubby and I have had our share of hard times. Once, we moved for his new job (which he was technically a temp employee, but they assured us that it would be permanent any minute now) then they decided they didn't need him after all. Since we had just moved, I didn't have a job and since he was a technical temp, he didn't get unemployment. Yeah, we had a month and a half of exactly $0 income... and that's why our credit cards bills are so high! But what do you do when you have a kid to feed?


And that was just the once. I think in the last 6 years, he's been laid off 3 times and I was twice. Once we were laid off within 2 weeks of each other, but at least we both got unemployment that time.


Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that you aren't alone. And feel free to take a little break from weight loss if you need to. But try not to go overboard, because you will regret that. Trust me, I am now trying to lose 40 pounds that I've already lost, and it's harder the second time around! *hugs*
 
AThanks Mizzie! :)

Well the good news is I weighed myself and I haven't gained anything. I really don't know how that's possible, since chocolate has been a main food group lately, but I'll take it..lol!
