Roy,

Hang in there and hang on! Figured there was stuff going on when you didn't post for a couple of days. Very sorry to hear about your boat and trip. I won't be going to Chicago due to the restaurant stuff. High school teachers found someone to take my place next week. Just try to maintain the weight and keep your sanity together. Here's to it not getting worse! You have made so much progress and are such an inspiration to all of us. Brew a cup of tea, take a deep breath, and keep on keepin' on. Some days you just have to be grateful that you woke up that morning - even if the day went to h*ll. Wishing you peace, ~Kay

Sorry to hear things are not on the up and up. This is when you need to take a step back and regroup. Like kay said, you have made such progress, and nothing can take that away from you. Truly unfortunate that boat, truck and computer are not what you need them to be at the moment; but they are just things (expensive yes, but just things). Have that cup of tea - or many cups - and focus on the positive things you have done for yourself and your family. There can always be another vacation or PC etc - but there is ONLY ONE YOU....and that is who and what you need to focus on - you and yours - together you will make it.

We are hear to listen and support - you will get through this too. Think positive thoughts - makes you feel better and annoys the nay-sayers. All the best & keep in touch.

Remember, when you reach the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on.

Or, my personal favorite:

When life hands you lemons, make lemonade. But when life hands you limes, make margaritas!!!

Ok, enough with the goofy quips. I hope things get better soon!!!!! Remember that every day is a great day to be alive. Find something positive and focus on that. Take things minute by minute if you have to do so. We're here for you!

Sorry things are so rough right now Roy! Try not to eat to comfort yourself. Try to drink your tea that you like so much and take some deep breathes. Also don't be hard of yourself! Remember how far you have come, remember your accomplishments, remember the pozzies!

I am wishing you the best, Silk

Sorry about the boat, man. But somethings are just out of our control. Just focus on all the great things that you did have control over and have accomplished so far. And things would look up soon, hang in there, Roy!!

I was wondering that was up... no journal entries since the 16h.

Looks like you hit a run of bad luck, and lots of it. One step at a time, one day at a time, and things will get solved. =)

((((((((((Roy)))))))))) Thanks for posting so we can try to stand in the gap for you. So very sorry to learn of your misfortunes. One at a time would have been more than enough to frustrate any of us. Three at once would seem overwhelming. The stress of the things you listed would have any of us drained. BUT you don't seem to the be type of man that will take a bum deal on a boat sitting down. You must have legal forces behind you regarding the purchase of a "lemon" So I'd guess you'll soon have someone 's attention and get some satisfaction on that issue. Computer issue you've already faced, it's in the shop and will be returned so that's a non-issue at this point. Canceling vacation sux, and I'm sure your wife is disappointed, but you're a team. She's been your biggest fan and cheerleader through your journey of getting rid of weight, so I'd guess the two of you will come to agreement soon. (Lord knows stress is magnified x10 when you and your spouse aren't on the same page) Trucks can be fixed. Stroll on the treadmill to help with the stress. You're tired, don't push it, but do keep moving you know it makes you feel better. Find that quiet place that has kept you going since I met you here. You're gonna come out on top of all of these issues. It might take some time and determination, but you've said yourself you've got plenty of time and we've ALL seen your determination since you joined cc. Take a break, but don't quit. We luv ya Roy! ?
