Thank you Bob..... I have been on a stand still for awhile I just started doing yoga with the ball, and walking everyday and still nothing. So last night I bought a new cardio workout video so I hope this helps. I get feeling really down when this happens than I just think to myself that it means I have to work harder! I hope it will pay off in the end. I have to believe it will. Heres hoping you all have a great day and smiles lots! Peace, Matteau |

Well like the others I know how you feel...=/ Like they said their is more of us out there than you think. I am a mother of 5 teenagers one that suffers aspd (he doesnt live with us anymore) I have been off of work since last june the longest I have every been without working. It took me a good couple of months to leave the house the attacks were so bad my mother and children would do everything for me. I thank God for them as my hubby was to busy working to pick up the lower family income....yup another stress that put me farther down less time for him with family all because i couldnt get my butt out the door. I now go for walks during the day which is a huge step for me I put the music in my ears and crank it up so I dont hear anyone talking to me. I just want to cry still if someone approaches me. I dont talk to neighbours anymore or friends. I have lost so much but just can not seem to get it back. I am on meds ...but usally forget to talk them and talk to a specialist I am from Canada though and it is all covered.....I would suggest looking for a mental health clinic in your area if they are the same as here they can provide you will free help and meds. I don't sleep well as my head never quits it just keeps going and going. I hardly drive as while I am driving I constantly think of ways that I am going to get hurt in an accident ie: a drunk driver hitting me .... I feel your pain and if you need a shoulder i am always around. I know I am a nut but at least I might be able to give you one more smile that day than what you would have had. I also am thinking of tanning I know that that is a risk for cancer but my doctor says it would help alot and the benfits are usally great and as long as I dont use the tanning bed every day I should be fine. Well take it easy And for all on here take it easy too Matteau |

I want to lose so I can fit the "stacey's mom" video...lol crazy i know but I feel great when i hear my teenagers friends say wow is your mom ever looking hot! I was always big and now for the first time think that I kinda blend into the crowds now. Shopping is the worst for me we have 2 stores I can buy clothes at in my town ...well I have none one sells only 10 and under and the other sells 14 and over. So I no longer can shop at the bigger one but now cant shop at either ...gezz wondering who thinks that size 10 -14 is non exsistent! i hate using baby powder between my "chub rub" and wearing shorts under my skirts. I am alot smaller now coming close to summer so I am looking forward to either

 oh no for you lol....I have done it once when they changed thier cans. It didn't take long thou as soon as it hit my mouth I wanted to gag from the sweetness. Who knows you might have noticed it in a differant situtation. Or if you have been drinking it long enough. I wouldn't worry to much as you probably will take a second look next time. Take care and enjoy |

| Weight Loss | An Apology Letter to my Body | Feb 07 2008 20:39 (UTC) |

Okay say i know im alittle late but here goes...and you know what thank you for making me think about this i never have.... Dear body, I am so sorry I have done so many horrible things to year for the past 18 years.Through it all thou you gave me the life of 4 beautiful children. I do not know why you blessed me so much after what i did to you. I still curse you every day I think the only thing I didn't complain about was my blue eyes. I am so sorry the stretch marks are from you love too me that you grew and protected my children, the broken crooked nose again not your fault some one did it to you ,you had no say. The scars were not your fault either they are from all my bad choices i made in men. That they treated you that way. I am so sorry that I did not see how much I abused you that I didn't stop others from abusing you as well. Please find it in your heart to forgive me and I promise from today every time I look in that mirror no matter what you look like I know that it is up to me to love you and to help fix you. I know you are in pain right now from all that yoga but I promise you It will help and make you stronger. I promise not to abuse you anymore in my terrible eating habits or by allowing others to abuse you or break your bones. I will help you grow into a smaller and healthier person as I know you are struggling with the weight. There is some things I know I can not change for you and I promise to love those things (boobs) Its not your fault you had to make them so big to feed my babies. You did what I asked you to. So I am sadly and strangely thankfully that i have any at all no matter how droopy,(btw when looking at the surgery options you aren't that bad as most ) =) sorry for not seeing that. So I have always put you down for your flaws but never really accepted the truth that it was my inner self that was flawed not you. And I am sorry for ever saying you let me down you didnt I let you down! So no more to drugs,fat or all the starving I put you through,heres to a new day where I truly love you for what you are.
thank you all for your stories you opened my eyes and my body truly thanks you for ending its criticism and abuse. now i feel so crappy =( |

| Pregnancy & Parenting | How to deal with morning sickness. | Feb 06 2008 14:20 (UTC) |
6 |
| Morning, Well first off for the morning sickness you can also try crackers or bread. It kinda doesn't matter what you do your body is adjusting to growing a baby. I found that staying away from the higher fat helped. I also went to see a doctor about my sleeping when I was pregnant and he told me to take a gravel(motion sickness) pill. He said it was safe for the baby and at the same time had a sleeping effect on pregnant woman and children. Other than that I tried to take a nice warm bath after taking the pill and when I was ready for bed it worked. Good luck and I hope this helps.... | |||
| Weight Loss | stress and weightloss? | Feb 06 2008 12:24 (UTC) |

we all react to stress a differant way so it is hard to say. I am always under a great deal of stress and wish it made me at least lose weight! But I am just getting grayer hair and if really stressed I start to lose my hair.(for a 33 year old woman this is bad) =/ It all depends if you have been eating tons or eating alot less than normal. Check your calories and try to take care |

| Weight Loss | Anorexic?! Seriously? | Feb 05 2008 14:49 (UTC) |
5 |
I too am being called anorexic.....by my kids my hubby just says i am starving to death. I eat alot and they just dont understand noone is here all day so they dont see what i eat. I was also told to eat smaller amounts as the day gets later so they only see me eat my smaller meals  I have lost alot of weight and I did it by eating 4 meals a day and on the diet i was on i didn't count calories so as long as i eat enough i know ill lose the rest. So I know how you feel that he looks at you that way. It is very hurtful and I try to just ignore it but I have made comments too. Like my son is 5 '8 and 120 lbs doesn't eat near what he should so i just tell him it takes one to know one...(he hates that) I know he is not just he is too lazy to eat and his meds dont allow him to get hungry so he knows how i feel now and doesnt do it. Take care and enjoy life (and food) Im with you Id rather the good food in life than the rice..... |

| Pregnancy & Parenting | I'm 6 weeks pregnant and already having cravings! | Feb 01 2008 15:50 (UTC) |
1 |
As everyone else said....it all depends on you and your body. I have had 4 children the first was the worst sick all the time and I only craved fruit and veggies....I would get sick just of thinking about meat! I had a boy for my first. Also I have a friend that believes that morning sickness is caused by certain things we eat drink or wear(hairspay,dyes,and makeup) That are body is saying stop. I havnt had a child since than so I cant say if she is right lol. My sister in law called me one night crying at 2 am as she caught herself sucking and eating raw liver! We went to the doctors the next day and ran tests and found she was missing some things in her diet. She fixed those things and the strange cravings went away. So if you have no morning sickness rub your baby and thank it ...=) and just enjoy every day that you can without the sickness. Try to stay away from caffine as much as you can as I just watched a program on how deadly it can be on pregnant moms and unborn babies...(thats why I have decided to quit caffine) and enjoy I hope to hear how you and the baby are doing! I so miss being pregnant the whole thing of creating a life and carrying it into the world always amazed me..... cheers and congratulations on making someone new to love!~ |

| Weight Loss | I'm sick and I need to have more calories... | Jan 31 2008 20:02 (UTC) |

sounds like the same thing that shut my whole family down last week! I put everyone on sweet tea,gingerale, and soup....lots of fruits available if they could eat it. The only thing I found is 2 of my kids didnt believe me when i said no high fat foods the night they were feeling better and against my judgement they made french fries and grilled cheese while i was out buying more popsicles....well the two of them were fighting for the bathroom shortly after! So I suggest you take it easy on the heavy calories and wait at least 24 hours.....than go ahead and treat you body for the hell it just went through! just my thoughts ...take care and get well |

I cant really say too much lol I gave in yesterday.....thank god we only have a McDonalds they are not that appealing....But you did make my mouth water I think I put on calories just reading your description! When I do eat at McD's I only order junior meals and I eat the fries and only half the burger....I give other half to hubby so I am killing him to save myself as I know he doesn't need it ....I cant throw away food as much as I have tried it bugs me to waste the money. But I have also heard of most places willing to wrap your burger in lettuce instead of a bun that helps cut out calories......althou that doesn't make it a burger....Good luck and I am sending you a little will power to do what you think needs to be done! Cheers Matteau |

yes we live in a very small town surrounded by lakes,swamps and bush so it is perfect for hunting! We usally just do bow hunting but if we dont get a moose we go for gun. Are main reason for hunting is like I said my family believe it is better for us all around. We make it a family trip to spend time together, and we hopefully get the benifit of eating something that doesnt have things added to eat in the store. We try to hunt and fish for as much of are meals as we can. While teaching the kids to only take what is needed......So we love it Do you hunt or fish? |
