Just an update

Down to 165.6 lbs.  Loss of 7.8 lbs in almost a month.  It's ok.  I am ok with that.  Been stuck at that weight for 3 days now, but TOM FINALLY started today as it has probably been about 60 days since my last one.  So I am sure that this is why my weight is stuck a few days due to water weight.  I had really bad cramps and was on the road and had to pull over and find a McDonalds to use facilities and get water to take two Alleve for cramps.  I DID NOT EAT ANY MCDONALDS!!  Woo Hoo!  I have been doing pretty well with eating healthy and exercise.  Did 22 minutes of Zumba last night and 45 minutes of Wii Walk It Out.  Getting in my 10k steps every day. 
Getting some work caught up.  Have been working A LOT of overtime and I am kind of tired but the stress is better and the phone isn't ringing so much.
Still no word on Asha.  Amanda thought she had someone who was going to adopt her and would let me know and no word.  I am very frustrated with this woman.  Why can't she just be honest?  Doesn't she realize that all of these people are volunteers who want to help the dog?  And she is wasting their time and my time!  And I politely told her that I need to know ASAP because if she doesn't want us to take the dog, I can foster another dog.  As it is, there aren't enough fosters and dogs are getting gassed!!!!  She of all people knows this!!!!
David is still a HUGE frustration.  New therapist comes tomorrow.  I am hanging in there but very very frustrated.  He is really desperately trying to control us.  Paul just gives up.  I refuse to let this 15 year old kid control this house!  he is sort of doing homework and no major blow ups.  Although last night he got mad at me for telling him to put his pants in the spare bedroom (I had all of the laundry sorted in piles there) instead of his linen closet in his bathroom (the rooms are right next to each other!)  He went into the spare bedroom and got so mad he ripped a pair of his pants in half.  I hope this woman coming tomorrow is a miracle worker.  She says she has been doing this for 40 years.  We will see.  Say a prayer, fingers crossed!
Other than that, I am just plugging.  I still want to cry a lot from this feeling fat and probably from my hormones, and yeah maybe from some of this stress.  Finally got some sleep last few nights, restful sleep anyway.

Still using Sensa. (Since 8/29/12.) I think it does help me feel full faster and does help some with cravings.

You are doing great! Keep hanging in there! Is Sensa a prescription or over the counter. I need help. Willpower is all I have and not much of that sometimes. Prayers for you and your family!

It is nice to read things are better in some areas...loss of weight and work load getting sort of in control. Does that ever get \"in control\"?
Sending prayers that Davis\'s new therapist has answers. Go ahead and cry....it can be good therapy, a release of sorts.
MEGA HUGS!

I guess with all your hard work and the Sensa mixed in you are losing weight.
Glad you got Tom and now maybe lose some more weight.
I bet the stress and that has you crying.\\
I hope this new counselor is a miracle worker too. good luck
