Guest guest Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 I was part of this group back in the early spring, but left because I was overwhelmed with looking for a new job. I am trying to get back on track with my diet now. I have a great new job teaching K & 1st grade special education and a nice new house (rental for the current time). I have 3.5 year old who keeps me very busy and a husband who works long hours. I mostly follow the weight watcher plan or calorie count. I am determined to lose weight for health reasons and because I want another baby, but I am too heavy at present to even consider that. I am 258 and I was only 230 when I got pregnant with RJ 4+ years ago and I had high blood pressure my last month of pregnancy. Well, I hope to get to know you all. By the way, I am in Mississippi.

I'm looking forward to hearing from you.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 Dear List, I have read so much suffering here and also so much strength, too. Resiliency. The ability to endure and to be even more human and compassionate on the other side of those trials. I have had a ten year odyssey with chronic pain. severe and steady and ever breaking. Chronic physical pain is the breaking of the world. I had absolutely no relief for ten years. All the while the ordinary stresses of life were being heaped on the scale and they were outweighing my ability to endure them. I surrendered. I couldn't do it anymore. Two very hard years passed. Near to death so many times and wishing it would just come for me, finally. But life came for me instead, and healing, too. I was a long time frozen and as dead as a living person could be. But now I am alive again, and i am going back into the world. I am getting up. I am not pain free. i will likely never be pain free. But I am free. finally and gratefully. looking forward to the first spring of my new life... everything is new again. Wishing everyone this kind of healing. with kind regards, brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
