Well, it happened folks

Yes I was called in and what fun it was too I might add. All was going really well until after lunch when I was given a double lesson with year 10 Woodwork. Well that was interesting. Gave me heaps to laugh about on reflection.

Had a strange thing happen tonight. Went out to celebrate a friends birthday at a restaurant and as I got up to leave my skirt decided to make a hasty exit south. Just as well I felt it go. A good thing to happen really cause it means I'm losing weight. However, when I got home and went to get out of the car, it happened again and as I reached down to grab the offending skirt I banged the top of my nose really hard on the edge of the door. God did it hurt. Hope I havent concussed myself .

Well that's all the news I have for now. Hope you are all well and making good choices. Well I guess you propbably will since most of you would be aleep right now.

Hope to catch up with you tomorrow morning or tomorrow night. Missed Connie this morning but I didnt even get a chance to log on to the computer.

Love and hugs

Lainie

walking tape

Quote From: crazytxgal

Hi Dyan, we haven't met yet. My name is Ladean I live in Texas USA. I have been on the program about 2 months now. You might consider getting a walking tape so you can do it in your home. Also, you need to work on not worrying about what other people think about you. You are a beautiful person, and if they can't see that, then it's their problem not yours. Loosing the weight has to be for YOU not anyone else. This program really works, I can testify to that, but you have to work it. If you come here often and post, you will find so much motivation and support. We are a team here and we are doing this together. Please let me know if I can help you in any way, that's what we are here for.

Hugs,

Ladean

exercise dvds

Walking tapes/other dvds have been my lifesaver during this whole challenge! When the weather isn't favorable or I just want some mindless exercise for half an hour, I pop one in and get started. However, I do recommend mixing it up with going outside or to a gym or you may get sick of them rather quickly. I have 3 dvds myself and right now I have been going outside for my walks no matter how hot it is because I am sick of the dvds, so am giving them a break in preparation for when cold weather sets in and I will have no choice!! I finally read all the posts, my eyes hurt now lol! Going to watch the shuttle launch and settle in for a nap!

OMG - hope you didn't hurt yourself badly! This can be a lesson for us all - when those clothes get too big it can be hazardous to our health!

your previous marriage

Quote From: mysherona

I'm sorry to hear about your cousin's marriage. My first husband cheated as well - many of us have experienced that. What I learned from that marriage was:

He was controlling because I allowed him to control me.
He was verbally abusive because I allowed it.
He cheated because he was not happy with me (nor I was with him - truth be told)
Many other good lessons I won't go into now.

What I finally realized is that people (both men and women) often get themselves into relationships they are not happy with. As Dr. Phil tells us, we teach other people how to treat us. At the same time, abusive (both verbally and physically) people will one day own their behavior. We can't change their behavior, but we can change how we react to them. Sometimes it requires ending that relationship, sometimes we can work through it with them. I also realized that learning to trust again is difficult, but not impossible. This is why it is so important for us to place ourselves 1st and be our own best friends. It builds self-respect and self-esteem. When we have that, others treat us with respect simply because or demeanor demands it. It is not an easy process, but it can be done with persistence and determination.

Hugs,

Sharon

Hi,Sharon!

You do not know me. I am Natalie. Your story somehow touched me. You have pretty clear in points all the wrong things which happened to you in the previous marriage, but somehow it does not make you feel better. I also feel from those points that you put all the blame on yourself!!!! Give man a credit, he sounds pretty wicked and you are better of in the long run, trust me. There are a lot of nice men out there and it is difficult to find a suitable one. It takes lots and lots of patience. But cheer up , There is a hope.

Hugs, Natalie.

Oh my! That is not the message I meant to convey at all. My first marriage was a disaster. No, I do not blame myself for everything that happened and as far as I'm concerned he owns what he did, whether he wants to or not. What I was trying to say is that I can't place the blame totally on him either. Coming to those realizations did made me feel better - much better in fact. I did lots of soul searching after that marriage ended and realized that we both were the cause of the problems. I can't just blame him because he was the one who cheated. This was over 20 years ago and I have been with my current hubby for 19 now. We are happier today than when we first got together. That's why I said that trust is not always easy to find again, but that it can be done.

Isn't it funny how we type things and see a totally different meaning than what we intended? I'm glad you said something because others may have interpreted the message the same way you did and that is not at all what I meant to say.

Hugs,

Sharon

I'm not surprised that the book is out of the library. I have heard others mention they had problems getting it from their library too. It was a good try though. Maybe you can check it out later. In the meantime, stick with us and we will all work together.

Hugs,

Sharon

Can you maybe try e-bay?
