  • Journal Entry for June 25, 2008

    Wednesday, June 25, 2008 | A Sad story

    There is much to love about daily strength and the support we get here from others but there are times when I feel almost overwhelmed when I see what my friends are going through and I am trying to deal with whatever is happening in my life and give emotional support to them and maybe offer a bit of wisdom, or at least things I've learned from my own past mistakes.
    I often see others comment o...

  • Happy Birthday Mom!

    Thursday, October 30, 2008 | A Sad story

    Today is Mom's birthday. It is just so strange to have her not here for us all to celebrate. Last year her birthday came 20 days after she passed away. I will still is shock and in a daze. It hit me today though! I always made Mom a halloween themed cake. Was strange to not make one. We all went to the
    Cemetary today. We brought beautiful flowers and a balloon that the kids signed. ...

  • May I am toooo Harsh with Care Giver's

    Sunday, January 18, 2009 | A Sad story

    I just wrote a response to a young lady that is not dealing well with a relative's having alzheimer's. Sometimes I think maybe I am not understanding enough of loved one's of people with this nasty disease. I guess I am so blessed with the people around me and my family. They just take my illness as a matter of fact, knowing they can not do anything about it and we just try to keep on...

  • It Hurts (words can trigger ED thoughts)

    Saturday, June 13, 2009 | A Sad story

    Somebody at the center asked me a rude question the other day about if my father carried extra weight like I do. He didn't mean to hurt me, and he is developmentally disabled ( In his 70's but emotionally/mentally he is like a child). But still, it was a serious trigger. I did let him know his question was rude, as did my friends who also heard the question.
    But since this incident, I am t...

  • Seriously considering lap band surgery...

    Saturday, July 11, 2009 | A Sad story

    Today I find myself seriously considering the lap band surgery. I saw my medical notes today, dr says I am now morbidly obese and without bariatric surgery my health will probably never improve. Said on my chart either pre-diabetic or diabetic.
    I don't know what to do. I would like to try to do the diabetic diet again, as it worked for me when I was younger. But no that I am older I don't ...
