Guest guest Posted February 20, 2002 Report Share Posted February 20, 2002 Well, 's fever was up to 100.7 oral today so we had ears and throat checked at the peds. Nothing's standing out so we're assuming some general virus. Tonight at bedtime she said, " Maybe some time I could get a stick again, uh huh? " which is her way of saying something she really wants to do. She showed me where on her hip she wanted it (this is where they sometimes put the Rocephin). I asked why she wanted a stick and she said, " So I can feel better " she paused a few seconds then looked at me and shook her head and said very frankly, " I don't feel very well " . She sounded so old and sad. Sigh. I sure hope it will be a peaceful night. (mom to , 3yrs old, polysaccharide antibody def) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2002 Report Share Posted February 21, 2002 , I'm sorry 's feeling so bad. Autumn despises the shots, but she knows they help her feel better. Once (only once?) we went & the dr said " Just a virus " and so off we went to deal with 3-5 days of junk before she felt better. Autumn was asking me why the dr didn't give her a shot or some medicine to take. I told her the medicine wouldn't help this time. She just didn't understand either. Tabitha, on the other hand, does understand. I guess it's because she's a little older and can understand when I explain things. It's one of those things we just have to work through when we've got little ones. Hope you had a good night. Ray, mother to Tabitha (age 6), Autumn, age 4 (IgG def., asthma, chronic sinusitis, and allergies), and Duncan (9 months) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 all these hurricanes that are hitting my area have gotten me depressed and unmotivated. I have not done my breathing or gone to the gym in 2 months now... I was doing so well doing my breaths and my gym workouts I had knocked out an additional 9 lbs in 2 months after losing over 30lb prior to the 9lb. I need to get back on track but I just don't have the oomph to do it.. I want to do it! I desire to do so.. whats wrong with me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 Biiiiigggggg huuugggg for Alyce. Don't hate yourself. Starting to post here is a great start. Just pick a podcast and start again. When I get stuck, I just scroll through and stop on one randomly. Weirdly, it's usually the one that gives me what I need and jump starts me again. I went through the same thing a few weeks ago. Just give yourself a big hug and start over. And don't get overwhelmed with trying to fix everything at once. Start with one little change. It's ok if you don't have a perfect day. Just concentrate on one little area that you made a good choice or listened to your body. Just a little thing to build on. Build a little confidence.... one minute at a time. Then build a little more. It's not always the total of the bad choices we make. It's concentrating on the right choices and the little successes. Good luck!! Patti On Sun, Sep 12, 2010 at 8:31 AM, Alyce <alycej@...> wrote: > > > I have stopped listening to the podcasts. I have stopped listening to my > body.

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Alyce... A big hug from me. I could have been the one writing your message but..  You do have a choice and since you're written to us you have already taken the first step! And I think that in the back of your mind you truly desire to try again. You know that giving up will take you on a one way path to misery.  I have been where you are again and again and all I can say is DON " T GIVE UP! It is better to maintain than to gain one more pound. Can you maintain at your present weight?  My advice to you is the same I give to myself on the days when I am as low as I can get... Baby steps...Just like Patti said. Do ONE good thing for yourself today. Eat some fruit, take a walk around the block, put on some really nice perfume, fix your hair, put on your best smile and be your best TODAY. Do sth good for sby. Give a compliment at the gas station, hold the door open for an elderly person, bend down and talk to a child at the supermarket.... etc etc.Put yesterday behind you!!! Do a redo TODAY and just get on with it.  Finally I agree with Jantje too. Put those earphones back in your ears and listen to . Any episode with do. I too have often hit an episode at random and it's been just what I needed. I too have often 'gotten off track " and the last thing I wanted was to listen to an episode but once I've started it gives me hope.  Speaking from experience, I have depended on food all my life and I know it is going to take me awhile to learn new habits. Maybe it's the same for you?? said in one of her episodes (maybe 127 or 128 not sure) that the key to weight loss is desire. Do we desire weight loss more or eating more? My answer was weight loss while eating but alas (as says) we can't have both. :-(  So.... for now can you at least cut down on a few things??? Maybe maintain till you're ready to continue on your WL journey??  Look forward to your reply Alyce!  From: Nixe708 <jantje.gerdes@...> Subject: Re: weightloss Date: Monday, September 13, 2010, 12:06 AM  Hi Alyce! Don't beat yourself up. This is a part of the process. It happened to me, too. Just try to listen to the episodes and don't shut IOWL out of your life completely. You'll be back when you are ready. And you will have made progress without knowing it. This is part of the patience and persistence is talking about. You will learn to walk eventually, even though you might find yourself falling down a few times before you do! Jantje > > > > > > > I have stopped listening to the podcasts.

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Alyce- You are not alone. I have been feeling pretty hopeless myself lately. I keep starting again on the right path, and falling off quickly, even though I know I will feel better if I keep doing the things I know to do. I had the easiest most amazing month of my life in July, and now I can't seem to get back there. I am NOT there yet, but I keep reading what I wrote then, and what I wrote before then, to keep reminding myself. As I say- I am NOT there yet, but I keep reminding myself so I crawl back slowly. Or quickly if I can . Can you take 1-2 days and do something new? For instance, for my job I am traveling all this week, but I get a whole day in Spokane, a city I love, free of meetings, etc. So I will work, but I will also be able to get out of my cycle of funk by hanging out there- on the river that I love, etc. If you live near a meditation center, that can be an amazing bump. Go meet with your spiritual leader? Read an inspirational book? The world grinds at our light. We know we are being judged by people who do not know us, people are mean and snarky and nasty. Just having to keep cleaning the same dishes every few days can wear you down. Finding small ways to renew us is essential. For that matter, give yourself permission to buy and read a trashy romance or mystery for an afternoon- allow yourself to escape for a few hours, but then re-engage. You cannot change others, you can only change yourself- your heart, your mind, your choices, your body. And you cannot change yesterday. You can only change today, moment to moment so the future does not repeat the past. In America, we often cannot focus on ANYTHING for more than 5 min. But if you can find ways to keep focus, you can change yourself into who you want to be. Try some of the suggestions everyone has offered to find little ways to refocus. What is the worst that can happen? Can you be ok with that if it happens? I will keep trying, and I hope you join me in the journey! RJ > > I have stopped listening to the podcasts.

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Alyce, I was where you are a few weeks ago.. Heck, maybe even a few days ago! We can and will do it! Dig deep and realize this is your body telling you that have have something to work on! My mental image of giving up: If I were to give up, I would certainly become bed ridden, depressed and unable to help myself. They will come to get me.. but to get me out, they will need to remove a wall and lower me down with a crane. will be there.. telling me I am beautiful and that he loves me... Don't give up! You DESERVE to feel fabulous! You are worth it! Worth digging deep.. If I am, everyone is. Corinna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Thank you so much. I did start listening again yesterday. I struggled with some of what I listened to, but it definitely made me feel better. Today I listened to more. I decided that I don't need to follow any rules (how I think I'm supposed to do this...) and just listen. It was very helpful. - you make me feel so ok about myself. Re: Hi Alyce!

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 I just want to say that I was like you too. I thought about my weight everyday, I used to hear people saying - oh love your body and I didn't get it. But the minute you release that " desperation " just let it go and move forward - then you will be free and you will do exactly what you know how to do and lose weight. That desperation will irritate you, make you angry, annoyed and eventually set you right back to a course of bad habits and retaining the weight. Just relax and focus on what you have to do. Don't compare yourself to others, don't put yourself down just focus on the future, one day at a time and what you have to do, also don't rush. Everyone is in one giant hurry, I know I was. And you know what, haste makes waste. Relax, focus, get moving and walk on away from your old self today. Hey hope this helps. Listening to the podcast for a little under a month help me TREMENDOUSLY. Once you put the pieces in your head together, you'll be on your way. Good luck and as says, its really easier than you think. > > > > > > > > > > > I have stopped listening to the podcasts. I have stopped listening to my > > > body.
