I am so sorry for your loss. Mere words sound trite and empty as I try to form something to say that will help you feel better. I followed Chris's story here, hoping for a better end. My heart goes out to you. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. God be with you. |

Can we all say BUSY. Been working 12 hr days and then just crashing. Last night I fell asleep at 7pm and woke up around 9pm and went to bed. woke up at 8:30 this morning. running around doing laundry, and all the other Domestic Goddess chores! I have been doing pretty good on food choices most days. couple of days I did around 1800 cal which is ok. I am still recovering lung capacity from having a lung infection in July that lasted 3 weeks. It will take 3-6 months to fully regain my lung capacity. It is frustrating to not to be able to do what you want to do! I took a walk the other day. It was level, gravel road. I walked about 1/2 mile and just had to sit down on the side of the road... my lungs just felt like it was going to come out my throat! I took my resperations... they were 42/min. Way too high. I sat there till I had my resp down to 20. then I ambled home slowly. that is what is soooooooooooooooo discouraging :( This holiday season I am probably going to have to work all of them...I had them all off last year. So I dont think that I have too much to worry about. I dont do the party scene. Here's hoping that we all do well this Holiday season with our food choices. love, karen |

| Busy Busy Busy... 12 hr days... kind of hard to do when you forget to put your 18hr bra on!!! hehehe If you fail to plan.....you plan to fail. this is so true. make a menu and shop from the menu so that you have the food on hand to cook/eat healthy meals. Drink 10 glasses of water/day. drinking plenty of water helps the body with wt loss. it is the kidneys job to filter what we drink. when we shortchange our body by not drinking enough, the kidneys have to work harder. The liver's job is to metabolize fat. It's secondary job is to help the kidneys when we dont drink enough. so, the liver STORES the FAT and then helps the kidneys. Stop!! take 10 when you feel like nibblng. Maybe you arent hungry, just restless, bored etc. keep your self busy and then see if you are still hungry after10-20 min have passed. clean the kitchen like a white tornado and get rid of all the unhealthy red light foods that call out to you . replace them with healthy alternatives. call friend if you need encouragement, or log on to C C!! I need to keep in mind that I really WANT to lose this wt!! |

| Hi, this summer has been rather traumatic for me. I was quite ill for most of the month of July. I am still recuperating. My lungs took a beating with the fires that we had here in Paradise, California in June and July. I still dont have my lung capacity back. We were evacuated and lived in terror from June 22 to the first part of Aug when the fires were contained. 100+ people lost their homes. I took a month vacation and we went camping the 1st week. The 2nd and 3rd week, David finished laying the tile in our kitchen remodel. The last week we spent at my sister's cabin near Lake Tahoe. I returned to work on Tues and have had a hard time keeping pace. I have to do everything slower and it is hard to do that when you have so much to do. The inability to exercise has really made it hard for me to lose wt. i have had to cut my calories back. Then I get bored with it and then I over eat. Grrrrr. It is discouraging. I do ok with drinking water/tea. I need to do better with eating what I know I should. Just because I cant exercise like I want to doesnt mean that I have to throw in the towel. I CAN DO THIS!!! LOve, Karen |

| having a hard time staying consistant. I need to get past the idea that food is the answer to stress. I havent gained but I havent lost either. How do you guys learn that? Anyone have any answers? The stress lately has almost been too much. Couldnt get the time off to go to my sister's cabin in Tahoe. Had to take my husband to the ER on Sunday...Had a blockage and wasnt able to pee. Ended up with a UTI and is on Anti biotics. thanks for your concern |

Hi, I forgive my self when I blow it, the guilt only perpetuates the terrible cycle.
It has really been tough here since 6/11 when the terrible fire storms hit. Now there are a ton of lightening fires. Our town is on alert again. The air quality is termed "hazardous" It hurts to breathe, eyes burn, head aches...just to name a few. we are thinking of getting out of the area for awhile...the air is turbid. thinking if going to tahoe. My sister has a cabin there and it is peaceful and quiet there. there isnt any cell coverage or internet service. it is real remote. NICE!!
Writestuff and all the folks that are affected by the flooding, I am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

We are back in our home!! yessssssssssss! 74 homes were lost and some businesses. This fire was too close for comfort. thank you for your thoughts and prayers. karen |

| I have had a HELL of a week. We were evacuated with only 20 min notice. There was a wild fire below our town of paradise, Califonia. there was also a fire to the west of us in the canyon. The winds were gusty. the terrain was hilly, making the firefighting hard. To tell you the truth. I didnt measure anything. I totally lost my appetite. I didnt know if I would have a home or job to come back to. All the roads leading out of town were blocked by fire and smoke. We all felt trapped. We knew if the winds didnt die down.... we would be toast. Thank God... the winds stopped. The fire now is 90% contained. we are back in out homes. 70+ people had no homes to go back to. I lost 4 lbs in 3 days... It is called the FIRE diet. With minor stress, I am an emotional eater. with severe stress...such as a fire etc. I cannot eat. The best thing that i can do is, to do something to get my mind off of eating until the urge to snack goes away. |

| I agree with iron-mike, you are a cute beautiful woman. I am sorry that you read that. When you have calmed down, talk to him. Dont accuse him. Just let him know how it made you feel. As one person said, it wasnt directed at you. If your marriage is strong, this will be a mere bump in the road. "dont toss the baby out with the bathwater" Work hard at making your marriage a stronger one. When difficulties arise, if you work together at it, will make your marriage stronger. hang in there. dont throw the towel in. I am hoping for the best for you. love, Karen |

The fire is 35% contained now. The mandatory evacuation got lifted and we were allowed to go back to our home. What a mess. 5 of my friends lost there homes. so far 66-70 people lost their homes. We had to evacuate the hospital where I work. that was a nightmare.
The last 3 days seem like a blur. I have lost 4 lbs in the last 3 days. Just too busy to eat. I had to remain strong. Too many people relied on me. Now that the situation has eased up, I find that my emotions are a bit watery at best. I am usually a strong person and was having a hard time understanding my tears. I was talking to one of my friends and she said that she was having the same issues that I was. I think that we have been through so much stress... not knowing if we would have a home or job to get back to, if the winds would ever die down or perhaps we would get trapped in our town with no way of evacuation if the pitiful 3 roads out of town were blocked. Most of the time 3 of the 3 roads were blocked. I guess it is like a basket ball that has been over filled, you let out some of the air to relieve some of the pressure.
Thank you for your love and concern, karen google humboldt fire..Paradise California |

One thing that I find that helps me stay on the wagon is NOT to get in a rut in what you eat. today I had a salad to die for. It was soooo good.
If you are creative in what you eat, you will be looking forward to eating varied, unusual foods and wont become bored with the menu and jump wagon looking for alternative grub!!! |

| HI, I am having a hard time... death of a dear co worker this week. Today, one of my sweet patients died. I love being a nurse but I am having a rough time with it all right now. I just cried all the way home. I got into it with the nurse that followed me today. I wanted to smack her one. she was saying she just doesnt allow herself to get close to her pts. She just takes care of them and meets their needs and that is it. I replied, well you are meeting all of their needs except their emotional needs. when someone is dying, that is when they need you the most. She replied, well, right now you are a basket case. I dont need that. I thought that she was so so so ... cant think of what I want to say. callous. sorry for going on and on. I had a tough time with calories. I had 2155. I need to learn to not console my self with food. Got to learn that. sorry for venting. I will not fall off the wagon because.....It hurts to fall off!! seriously...I will not fall off because I am sick of being heavy...I have made up my mind that I am going to do it. I remind myself of my goals when I want to eat what I shouldnt... most of the time. |

| people have to first realize that there is a problem before they will start to listen. Being that she is your mother in law is going to be even harder. Start by telling her that you love her and that you dont want to see her getting into health problems by eating less that 1200 calories. Dont preach at her. She'll just be further entrenched in her ways. Keep us posted on how this saga plays out. love, Karen |
