Lena's corner

Hey Lena, I hope things are improving on both fronts. You have a big heart and that's why things around you affect you so much.

**comes to visit lena**
**brings a dvd version of some lame movie that is a good tear jerker (For Love of the Game does it for me every single time)
**brings a box of the super soft tissues for Lena (and me)
**brings a container of strawberries dipped in dark chocolate
**watches movie with Lena and holds her and and gives her big soft shoulders to cry on (see those shoulder pads are super absorbant)

SOmetimes a good cry will make you feel better... ) even if it's just over a silly movie... it's good for what ails you.

hang in there, pretty lady - brighter skies will be coming..
 
Lena if you are working out like crazy and say doing Tae Bo and alot of it a different exercise and such it is probually just muscel gain or it can be water weight...but you are working out so hard and sometimes that happenned to me as well I would gain and then loose - dont get discouraged...

I also dont understand why ppl like crying - lol - Ive done so much of it these last couple of days...it sucks I hate feelign drained and sad...

*BIG HUGS*!!!
 
Oh Lena, I hate you are feeling this way! I get this way too sometimes. I just want to cry and have no real reason why - my hubby finds this very confusing. hehehe

You don't have to write to us, just open up a document on your desktop and start writing or take a pen and paper and do some free writing. it may help some.

hope you feel better soon. ****hugs****
 
Lena, You have every right to cry your eyes out, that's very healthy, even if your not sure why. Our bodies need a release, and if we hold stress/frustration in to long it hurts us, it affects your heart, your mind and soul. So I say, even if it's just your lunch hour, take the time to go somewhere quite, take a short ride up the street and cry a little. It's okay!! :) We all do it, and if someone says they don't well we all know as women that person Is not being truthful. Your doing ALL the right things, your working out, your eating right, your living RIGHT!! The extra weight I'm sure is a combo of all the working out your doing, it's adding muscle girlfriend and you should be proud of that!! YEAH! and It sounds maybe a little bloated too from that chocolate. Drink lots of water today and flush out all those toxins, then take a nice walk this evening. When you get home put on some nice music rock out in your living room and enjoy YOUR TIME!! Maybe a little journaling tonight might help too. We all hear you, and we all are here if you need us. We care about you, so keep your chin up, Your the worth it, we know it, don't you. ;)
**Bear Hugs**** for you today!! SMILE, your beautiful!:D

Lena, I'm really sorry to read you feel so sad. I think there are times when we just need to feel as sad and angry as possible, and that is healthy. You need to let it all out. I'm sure you'll feel better afterwards.
Sometimes it's hard to let ourselves go because we think we must always be perfect and smiling, and crying would be such a weakness. Don't listen to these thoughts if you've got them, just cry your eyes out and when you're finished remember that something better is always on your way even if you don't see it right now.
 
I agree, Kim and V.G.--Lena, pity parties are necessary. There's a difference between a genuine person feeling down and needing some help vs. a selfish person seeking attention. I used to feel weak when I was down--now I readily seek support because I found that if you don't release it, it can come out in horrible ways! We're all here for you to lean on and vice versa. And don't worry about weight spikes--you live right, you eat right, EVENTUALLY the excess lbs WILL drop off, whether or not the weight fluctuates. Trust me!
*HUG*

You're right. i do find it hard to seek support. because in my life i never had much of it. i always want to avoid talking about my problems because i don't want to burden anyone. i guess i need to realize that people are here for me. some habits are hard to break. but i'm learning.
i know you're right about the weight. it will go off. i know it. there are days it goes up and then it will go down. as long as i see progress on my body that's a good thing, and i really do see progress. i can actually see the back part of my leg (thighs). i could never see that before.

Asking for support is sometimes hard for us women, because we're used to being leaned on. I'm learning it now and it has helped me greatly--this forum helps tremendously! We're all lucky to be here! :D I'm so glad you're seeing progress! Great work!:D
 
yes it does help. if it wasn't for you guys here yesterday i would have eaten the entire fridge probably. but i didn't.

i do feel a bit better. not myself entirely but better. thank you so much everyone, and sorry for not posting in your diaries for past few days, i will in while.

thank you so much once more.

hugs,
Lena

Don't be sorry, you're such an asset here, so let us return the favor. :)
Good going with the food yesterday despite your sad mood.
I'm sending sunshine your way and hope your mood keeps getting better.

I'm so happy we helped you, Lena. And remember that if you managed to restrain yourself to eat despite your feeling sad it means you're learning to distinguish hunger from emotional need of food. And that's a great step forward. :)
 
Good Morning Sunshine!! :) It's a new day, full of new things to explore. Get in there and enjoy it!! You deserve to be happy and have a great day. Don't let anything change that for you today. Eat well, maybe do a little walking today, listen to some good music and enjoy a good movie or book this evening. Make this weekend all about LENA!! If I were closer I would stop by and get you myself. :D ENJOY IT!! and keep journaling, it's therapeutic!
Kim
 
Ladies you are amazing and i appreciate it so much you stopped by and helped me.
i feel a lot better. its friday and i just the thought of having two days off and away from that environment where everyone is on that diet i was telling you about. they all look at me like i'm some kind of a freak cause my main goal is to fix things in my head so i don't ever gain weight emotionally again. they all seek quick fix and think that will make them instantly happy.
but i'm hanging in there...chanting to myself how in 4 months i'll be away in budapest :D

so i am better. still some issues going on inside of me. i have some money problems and i don't want to borrow any...i had to pay so general deposit for my masters so that kinda dropped me off the saddle. it will take me several months to recover. however i don't let this stop me in going to see my bf. i really need his hug right now.

sophie :D there is always room for eyecandies :D do share hehe
 
Glad we can help support you! Thank you for your kindness in my own diary! Budapest, huh? Went there when I was 17 and had a hash-filled exciting, drunken time. Ah, memories!!******

Anway, I worry about money too! Hang in there--you can get through it!
 
HUGS Lena, I dont think i can add much to what these incredible people said in your diary. Its wonderful to see you get the support you need and deserve. I agree that you are a huge asset to WLF and you give many people strength and love and they give it right back to you. I hope you feel better soon
Michelle :)
 
Just keep saying to yourself it's only money.. you'll make more :)

Hang in there beautiful - and way to go on your strong finish in the taxing challenge :) you did great with your 7 lbs :) rock on :)
