I've missed your posts too -- congrats on graduating!! Now that my masters is done, I'm trying to focus on my health too. The jobs issue is killing us as well - my husband has yet to find a job here in SE KS where the market is terrible.
Hang in there. I'm more than happy to offer support - both cheering on healthy choices as well as anything else that helps! Fingers crossed that things start getting better with the new job!
I remember when y'all were moving there! I thought he was moving because of a job? Or was it because of grad school? Grad school legit makes us do weird things.
Thanks for the fingers crossing- I'm trying to be hopeful and positive, but also realistic. I so don't want my heart broken again, but I also really need this opportunity!
Sounds like you've been through a lot. But you're still standing! I'd love for this comm to come back. This used to be a place I didnt feel alone in this. It would be great to know there's someone out there rooting for me and that I can root for too.
I AM still standing, even if it's a bit more slumped. :)
I WOULD SO ROOT FOR YOU OMG. And that is the truth; we need more rooting, even when we fall behind. I think one of the things I'm most concerned about (coming from a therapist's perspective) is the rigidity that can come with weight loss. People slip up and eat a brownie or just want the damned brownie and so much guilt and anger result from it. I work to try and squelch and/or experience those feelings, but also to let them pass and just keep moving on.
I'd be curious to see if there's other responses... maybe we can liven up the place again!
I hear you about struggling financially, we are trying hard to make it and so many months we are just teetering. I hope things stabilize for you soon.
I've been charting my crawling progress and enjoying my now(omg!)12-week old baby. I meant to post an update and I will when I get a chance, and would love to participate more in the community.
