I made a new goal.   To be a happier person.  Sound like a good goal? I don't feel happy right now, I really don't.  Except when my nieces and nephew are around. 

Oh!   Cute thing.  My nieces and nephew made up cute nicknames for each other!  Timmy calls Sophia "Fee" and he calls Julia "Ju-Ju":) So cute! He's only 1 year old:)  Sophia calls Timmy "Hammy":) She's 2 years old as of the beginning of this month.  Julia's 4 years old and they're all so adorable and smart!

That's all I really have for now:) I have some Halloween and birthday party pics that I might post in a while.  Thank you for reading!

Money's pretty tight with me, so something's got to be cut back.  My main people that I really give out money to (besides credit cards) are my therapist, dietitian, and psychiatrist.  I see my therapist  once a week.  Have been for as long as I can remember.  To be honest, a lot of it is just chit-chat.  I think I would do fine with every other week instead, to cut my bill down. My dietitian... here's the deal.  I see her every week to be weighed, but I only have "comprehensive" appointments every other week.  I only have to to pay for the comprehensive appointments, which still leaves me with quite a bill at the end of the month.   I could do something about that.  I'll have to speak to her about the situation. The psychiatrist? We don't really talk about much, he just prescribes me meds.  I guess that's his job.  So I could go every other month instead?

I'm just trying to think this through. Grrr...

Hi!

Sorry I haven't written in a while.. my parents were on a vacation for 10 days and it was my responsibility to babysit while they were gone.  Well, when I wasn't sick, that is.  I've got a bad cold.  Had it for over a week now.  I think I may have been running a fever when I first got it because I was absolutely sweating in just a t-shirt and jeans, and the house really wasn't that warm.  I'm usually freezing to the point where I need blankets and sweatshirts. I was in bed for two days straight.  Had to tell my younger sister not to bring my nephew over for me to babysit him because I felt so bad and was afraid I would be contagious.

So all that has lead to a slight decrease in exercise:( With this nasty bronchitis I've got (I swear, I sound like I have emphysema:() it's a little difficult to jump around and kickbox.  I feel utterly guilty.  So I've been eating less.  And I've lost 2 lbs. this week. Not a lot, but okay.  My dietitian tells me I'm losing at a steady rate (I did maintain for one week, but it all evens out I guess), and I'm at 116 lbs now.  I hate not having a scale in the house.  I feel weird without it.  There's still talk about putting me into some treatment center, but I don't think it's going to happen.  It's not going to happen.
