Suzigirl- We are here for you girl!

Want to make sure everyone sees this post from Suzigirl!  She needs us!

Post from Suzigirl

We went away for 4 days for a long weekend and I had the best of intentions with my eating; I was even at my goal weight!  But I overate, just what I was afraid of.  No willpower when pizza is around!  Last night I overate again big time (got a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store and it was just too yummy, plus I ate a bunch of chocolate).  This morning hubby & I overslept and he didn't have time for me to make him b-fast before he left; he didn't even kiss me goodbye.  Plus, "Aunt Flow" will be here any day now.  I haven't worked out since last Friday and probably won't be able to until next week (kids are home on spring break).  I'm back to 140 instead of 135 and I'm bummed.

I also found out my son (he'll be 5 on 5/30) may be having seizures and needs to be evaluated by a pediatric neurologist.

I need all the encouragement I can get right now.  I know you folks out there can help, please reply!!!!!

Thanks, slappy, I'm touched that you would do this for me (tears rolling down cheeks).  You are truly a gem; thank you.

Suzi we are all here from you girl.  When do you have to take your son?  We will keep him in our prayers!  Things sound pretty crazy around your house right now.  try to get in a quiet place and take a deep breath.  Remember God only gives us what he knows we can handle, we can handle more than we know!  If the weather is nice out, take the kids for a nice walk or to the park.  Do something that you will all enjoy and try to focus of the good things in life, you have your children, your husband and you have lost weight!  I know you are up in your weight right now but that doesnt mean you have given up. You are going thru a tough time, dont be hard on yourself.

We are here for you!

love

Slappy

pizza=salt=water retention..
aunt flow=water retention
5 pounds is not unreasonable for you to be holding on to a bunch of water..

if you are anything like me, you feel bummed because of evil nasty little buggers i like to call hormones.. when it's about that time of the month it's hard to be chipper and happy isn't it?  i'm due any minute now (if i'm regular this time i'll start tonight) so i'll probably be down the next couple of days too.. wanna have a pitty party?  :)  it could be fun!  :)  we could lay in bed and post back and forth and groan.. :) 

you'll get through this.. it's a bump in the road.. not a 12 foot wall that you slammed into!  :)

edit:  i hope you don't think i'm heartless.. i just saw the last line of your post.. i'm sorry to hear about your son.. :(   how long do you have to wait to get him in?  you two will be in my prayers..

I just want to give you a hug!!!  go get a hug from your son.  Tell him mommy needs his biggest squeeze ever!  Im sure he will smile and so will you!

oh my dear suzigirl!  how did i miss your post?

you are in my thoughts, today.  hope the neurology report comes back negative. 

don't fret over the 5 lb on your scale.  remember how long it took to lose that?  well, you can't GAIN it back that quick, either.  it's mostly just not digested yet, not to mention all the salt. . .  and you'll get rid of it real quick.  back to the healthy stuff today.  it's a new day, a new moment.  we're still here for you!!!  you're one of OUR inspirations.  at your goal?!!  how many of us would like to be THERE?

suzigirl -- you're in my thoughts and prayers!  Please let us know how your son is doing (updates, etc)...some things are just more important than water retention!

::hugs::

Thanks folks, I knew you'd come through for me!

My son's appt with the neurologist hasn't been set yet, just got the EEG results back a couple days ago.  I'll keep in touch on this.

I will get some exercise today, I have a side job cleaning a friend's house once a week and today's the day.

I'm keeping in mind the fact that I'm probably retaining some water and that after I've gotten back on the food & exercise wagon (and my period is gone) I'll be back to "normal".  And, after all the stuff I'm doing for an upcoming easter egg hunt (thus all the chocolate I ate while stuffing some eggs last night) things will be better too.

I do have a lot on my plate right now, and between my local friends and you guys I know I'll be fine.  Thanks again, you all are a God-send!

Elin, where in Michigan do you live?  I live in Midland, pretty much in the middle of the mitten.  Anyone else live in good ol' Michigan?

You are going to need to be strong for your son, so eat healthy and get your exercise!

I hope you will update us on your boy's progress!  We're here, day and night, if you need somebody.

suzigirl...I missed that post too...must have been working.  I'm so sorry about your son...let's all pray that he'll get the help he needs.  Or, that it's just a fluke and nothing's wrong.

As for the weight...I agree with everyone else.  A day or so of unhealthful eating isn't a permanent thing.  You've come so far and learned so much.  It's OK.  And, it all could be water retention.  That is just so important to remember.

I'm glad you posted....thanks slappy for pointing it out.  I really KNOW you can get through all this stress....We're all here for you!

Hope you know that lot's of prayers are going up right this minute, mine included. stay strong.

Gabi

be strong girl! Remember we are all here to keep you up!

Wishing you the best of luck and thinking of you.  Thanks Slappy for reposting.  5 lbs. is not bad at all.  Matter of fact I was reading in my prevention mag the other day that that is why research has proved that weighing ourselves daily is not a bad thing because as long as we reach our goal weight and maintain it within 5 lbs of it then we are ok.  You have had a lot on your mind and that is understandable.

As far as Spring Break.  I took my kids to our State Park yesterday and it kicked butt for me and was a very big stress reliever for me also.  We did some things together which included riding bikes for over an hour and then I let them play at the play ground and I just sat to the side and relaxed.  It was good for all of us.  We all burned some of our energy off and I got a little relief for myself. 

Hang in there we are all here for you.

I will keep your family in my prayers suzigirl.  :)

Suzigirl - you are in my thoughts and prayers!! You will pull through with everything because you have such a great support system. Keep your head up :)

Suzi,  You and your Family will be in my thoughts and prayers are being sent your way...  You can do this and remeber its important for you to stay healthy for yourself and your  family!!  Please keep us informed on your son.

Suzi - I've got my fingers crossed for you about your son.  I'll keep him in my prayers too.

As for the 5lbs - what Obsidyan said :-)  Just don't let your depression get the best of you.  You've been doing an awesome job!

*sends all my best thoughts to you and your family*

XOXOXOXO

Suzi- hope you are doing good.  I will check in with you during the week.

suzi, I will keep you and your son in my parayers.  My daughter went through this when she was 18 months and had to take phenobarbital till she was 7 years old.

keep your chin up.

love, Karen
