I am seriously hating this. I am rapid cycling again... I know some of it is very trigger related but I am still none the less rapid cycling daily. Its been going on for a good 4 or 5 days... I am gonna go out of my mind... today I have cycled about 4 times alread and the day isnt over... and I have to clean the kitchen (please god dont let it trigger my ocd) and make yams and green bean cassarole for early thanksgiving and go shopping for the food and refrain from making the things I truely feel I MUST HAVE for a thanksgiving dinner....

the one I am avoiding right now is my home made crannberry sauce. MY mom is going to make a NEW sauces mold thing and it maybe good but its not the SAME one I always eat with dinner... yayay I know change is good but .... ugh not even gonna try to explain it....

Mix it all together and if you alre lucku you want taste the cranberrys.

To calm me down about T'giving, we buy a Mexican chicken dinner now (unless we go to relative's homes, in which case, we bring a big bowl of nuts-ha) I would never try to deal w/a big family meal. Too intense

I dunno I like it. I dont like most home made but I make mine sweet. I like the canned jell but not tooo much... so I decided to make my own... yes I actually make my own 'jelled' version. It has some small chunks and seeds and texture but no skins. I also make a chuncky one too.

It actually tastes good with the turkey. I dunno we just always had it at grandmas house... My mom made it one year from scratch and it was rather bitter so I made it and made it very sweet ;p

I get to stressed out over big time cooking. My brother like to ,so I let him. We eat out some Thanksgivings. Craker Barrel has a nice cheap one. I like the canned "red stuff",as we call it.

Hey kid slow down. You will balance out. Nothing is that important. Not even cranberry sauce. Whats most important is you!

I am so, what?, OCD or just plain anal over Thanksgiving that I lived in NYC for 13 years and never, not even once, went to the Macy's parade. It would have interferred with my cooking.

Oh! one more thing! I LOVE HOMEMADE CRANBERRY SAUCE! I make 3 kinds every year! yummmm

Ordinarily I hate cranberry sauce, but my mom-in-law makes the best homemade (not jelled) and I love it.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
