I give my patients this sheet and then I search for recipes in Cooking

Light and Splenda for a " typical " Thanksgiving meal and I found many

different recipes. Unfortunately, I don't have the recipes on my

computer to send but if you are a subscriber to cooking light you can

search and print off the internet.

heh! well i guess that it is because people see relatives that they

havent seen since last christmas, so they feel the need to get in

shape.. quick! LOL but seriously, i think that people just want to

combat all of the holiday eating with a tougher workout schedule. i

agree though that the whole thang is too much stress and that it is

smart to have maintenance as a goal during December. i know that

thanksgiving to xmas is tough on my american friends... it must seem

like a big feast that lasts for 2 months! we have some space

between the two holidays here so im glad to not have that problem (i

have time to recover from the thanksgiving food before the xmas food

starts up).

I wanted to remind everyone here. The Holiday season is here once again. This is a particularly rough time in which to go through this mite-mare. It intensifies the depression and frustration that comes with it.

Last christmas, I was so broke from this hell and so sick that I didn't even put up one decoration. No church, no tree, no presents, no family, no food, no shopping, no friends. It was the worst time of my life. Then I became so sick that I lost my job on top of it all. I remember at the time feeling even isolated from the group because it was so bad for me and nobody seemed to be doing as bad as I was. There was one that knew where I was headed. It is because of that emotional support he lent me in which I eventually got through that dark time and on the road to recovery. It was then that this group became my connection and motivation. I don't know why I am telling you all this, except for the hope that there very well maybe someone in that position of which I was last year, and I would not like to forget what I so needed then from this group. And to that one person, SOM, I am eternally

grateful.

This is a wonderful group. Lets not forget what the holiday season can do to tear down a person in which everything is not all right and the isolation that comes with it.

.....with good intent.....Frito

[Guest guest]

Truly,

Please don't disconnect from the group. The mite-mare makes everything worse when things aren't good in the first place. Put the holdiay season on top of it and it really is a nightmare. Your observation of feeling each one's pain and adding to our own is right on.

United we stand, divided we fall.

Frito,Thanks for posting this. Your intent was right on and much appreciated.This is where I'm at right now... Just not experiencing the physically ill aspect... Also just alot of crap happening in the personal life with considerations of "splitting". ..Have been thinking about leaving the list for a while to clear my head...I know that's not the answer... but I feel that I can no longer contribute in a "cheerful" or "positive" manner... Head is crammed full of negativity at this point... I don't wish to pass that on to those who are suffering...At the same time, the suffering here also adds to my already "new" pain...I feel each and every one as if it were my own...I haven't stopped crying since I read Ms. M's post this morning... So sad... Bless her heart...So I guess I'll stay and we all can cry together... if you guys can put up with me... It's gonna'

be a very long holiday.... Thanksgiving was a total disaster...Ahhhhh! Tis' the Season!Hugs friend,Trly>> I wanted to remind everyone here. The Holiday season is here once again.

Truly,

Don't go, I'd miss you too much.

We need a virtual Christmas....lets give each other virtual gifts.

Truly, I give to you my utmost respect for all the things you have

done for others and another box full of love for the person you are.

In your stocking I'll put a couple of evil Price laughs for

you to use at special times.

Stay strong and know we love you.

Girl, you made me laugh out loud for real. But you do that a lot!

You are a card.

We are going to make it. Circles under eyes, much or all of our good

and junky stuff gone, our houses decimated, but do you remember the

song " I'm Still Standing " ? (Of course it would be nice to have a

place to lie down and get some dang SLEEP, but I guess I can't have

everything!)

KJ

PS Finding a song that said what I needed to hear has helped me

through many trials.

Hey Frito,

I was in the same boat as you last year at this time. I didn't

celebrate any of the holidays, and was broke and miserable. I'm still

broke, but no longer miserable :-) I've come a long way since last

year, but never dreamed it would take so long to deal with this bug

problem.

SOM (sikofmites) extended kindness to me, too, and I am also grateful

to him.
