DISappearing Peeps...A fastpass to THIN! Part 3

[mousehouselover]

Ok, I've been reading and mostly staying caught up. I know I missed things but here goes

Sandy~ Congrats on the engangement. I know you didn't have a lot to do with........ Your DS is getting married!!

Melinda and Mony had birthdays. Happy birthday ladies!

We have a few new peeps; welcome aboard; there's plenty of room on th wagon. This is a great place!

Bee and Dan posted and went sledding on pool mattresses......LOL!

Dawn posted a fantastic story.

Fidge is having problems with the neighbors I hope things get worked out and your DS is taken care of by the school and the authorities finnally do something about the problem family.

Daisy got back on the wagon.

Kelly came out of lurking to post a bit, we miss you and hope things are ok I went through a rough divorce so I can relate.

Pigget has been going crazy and hasn't been able to pack for her trip.

Stacey's class is still getting to her.

Shannon ate too may Reese's eggs. I'm right there with you. I asked a co-worker to help me cheat on my diet today. He had french fries but had just taken a bite out of the last one. Thank goodness.

I know I'm forgetting stuff, that's what came to mind when I sat down.

As for me, I'm still working it. I got on the scale on Sat and I was down a pound, just like always it came after weigh in. This am I was back up again. I'm trying hard not to cheat. I've been wanting to snack and nibble lately. I've resorted to eating rice cakes to avoid doing too much damage. On the up side, Dh had a bite of my new multi-grain cinnamon toast ones and he said they are pretty good. It's a huge thing for him to say they're good, he hates sutff like that.

We're getting ready to go on a long weekend. I'm getting excited, less about traveling and more about being off work. I might get Thurs off as well as Fri and Mon.

Dh needs the laptop so i'm going to go, I'l try to check in from the desktop. I'm trying to get the bits and pieces of the scrapbook pages done so I can do assembly in the car.

1st lets celebrate I am at post 800.

Welcome newcomers! This is a great group of women and a few men and we are more than happy to have you join us.

Let me now apologize for letting some of you worry about me. You have mentioned I dont sound like myself and I am not myself anymore. A lot of things are happening and I will explain shortly.

Now, I am asking you all a favor. Please do not change your opinion of Grumpy once you read this because he loves you all, and you love him. I dont want that relationship to change. We can co-habitate on this board.

Okay, here we go. You are all my friends and you are all so terrific and great at offering support and prayers. There are some changes being made in my life. Dan has decided that our relationship has changed enough over the years that it is time to move on. The most important thing to both of us is the well being of our children. This is not something that I want to happen, however I am slowly accepting the inevitable. You cant make someone love you that doesnt love you anymore.

I am in the middle of my grieving process and I am still angry a lot of the time.
Sometimes I say things that are not nice. I regret them almost immediately, but I cant take them back. I took my wedding rings off on Valentine's
Day. This all took place the 1st week of work.. So, I have been dealing with it now for a couple of weeks. Dan and I are not bad people.. But, maybe we are just not good together.

I have gained more weight.. and I hope to gain some control over my emotions soon so that I can be losers with all of you.

I have not given up... Miracles do happen. Please dont bother Dan with this. He loves this board and you people.. I love you too... I thought it only fair I share with you MY feelings since in a way you are my "family" also.

We or I plan on still taking the girls to WDW in September.. so when the decision is made as to if it will be 4 or 3 of us I may be asking for help in planning the perfect vacation.

I guess I will not be joining you in January, and if I do it will just be me.. Since I will no longer be a married woman I will need a room-mate if it becomes possible at all. We will cross that bridge at a later time.


All I ask now is for your prayers and support and to continue to give your love to both of us, we need it now more than ever. Also, pray for my girls they love us both and we love them.

I love all y'all!!!!!!

Please do not try to assign blame. I have not been perfect. This is a marriage it takes two to make it and two to break it. Please dont pick sides.. I am not asking for that.. Just.. love and support for all!

I've never ever been very good at this weight loss thing, but after reading all the supporting messages and well wishes included in the posts on this topic -- it seems to me -- if I could be sucessful losing weight anywhere it would have to be right here.

I'm not sure about navigation on this site so if anyone knows -- please tell me how to find my way back to read new posts I haven't read yet.

Thanks
Linda

Welcome! Glad to have you!

Have to go pack -I'm leaving tomorrow night on a trip for ten days. Work cleaned up really well so I'm going to enjoy myself without even thinking of the office!

"See" you all back here the 18th or 19th!

[Bee]

Hugs to you, Bee.

Thank you...


If anyone responds and I dont respond for awhile.. I have taken the girls to the YMCA to go swimming.. I may even get my fat bottom in a suit too.

May be very embarrassing.. Cause I am the biggest I have ever been in my life.. And instead of losing weight... I eat... Dang it.. Dan is dropping weight like crazy and I am finding every bit of it.

 

[harleygirl]

Sweetheart and Sweethunk - no sides chosen just a broken heart for both...have a dear friend who is ending an 18 yr marriage and I am hearing first hand the misery involved.... to you both

 

[harleygirl]

So sorry for both of you. for you and for Grumpy and for your girls!

and WOOOO HOOOOTY on post 800! To think I was getting excited about reaching 300!

I think I can speak for most everyone and say nobody is going to choose sides on this. We are all here for love and support of you both. Nobody but you knows the real deal on what has gone on in your relationship, and that is a private matter between the 2 of you.

I think ending a relationship is almost harder when no one event is the cause- just growing apart, and from the sounds of it that is what is happening to you.

 

[punkin413]

to bee and grumpy - i don't know the "peeps" here very well because i'm a newbie to this board, so i feel strange even talking about this with you guys. but i thought i'd give you what could be some helpful advice. i'm a child of divorce. my parents split when i was 4. and i am a VERY LUCKY girl. that sounds wierd, but it's true. they decided that they could be better people and parents if they weren't together any more. and the thing i'm most grateful for is that they never spoke an ill word about one another to me, they never fought in front of me and i could see either one of them whenever i wanted to. i'm sure my dad did some pretty crappy things to my mom and vice versa, but i don't know for sure because they never dogged each other in front of me. they knew that no matter what happened, that person was still my dad or that person was still my mom and i didn't need to hear about what they'd done wrong. they never used me to hurt one another and i'm so grateful for that. not saying that you guys would do that.....i just see it so often in my work that it's something worth mentioning.

anyway, i don't know what else to say other than i'm sorry and i hope things work out for everyone in your family. you're in my prayers.

 

[Wonders10]

Hey guys - I have a tech support question for you all. A lot of you have links to your TR in your signature...

1) How did you do it?

and

2) How did you get it to say the title of your TR instead of just the link?

and

3) I'm doing a Pre-TR. I decided I wanted to do it and get it up super early. Do I put it in the Pre-TR forum and then have it moved when the real TR starts?

Sorry I feel like I should know this but I'm feeling about it.
Thanks!

NEVERMIND! I did a little searching and figured it out - be sure to stop by pre-TR and have a read!

Afternoon Peeps!

Just had to share some joyful news with you guys. You all know that one of my therapy placements is at a school 2 days a week. And it's no secret that I really don't care for it. Well I totally forgot that schools get a spring break! Our supervisor "reminded" us that we will be off the week of Easter! Hallelujah (sp?) So excited about that. No lesson plans - no mean feedback - no waking up early! Can't wait.

That is exciting. My spring break begins tomorrow at 2:15 pm. I'm so excited as well. No homework, no rushing out the door at 7 am, just lots of spring cleaning.

I've never ever been very good at this weight loss thing, but after reading all the supporting messages and well wishes included in the posts on this topic -- it seems to me -- if I could be sucessful losing weight anywhere it would have to be right here.

I'm not sure about navigation on this site so if anyone knows -- please tell me how to find my way back to read new posts I haven't read yet.

OK fisrlt let me thank all of you who have been praying for me and DS and sending well wishes to me and great help! Support my butt you guys have been HOLDING ME UP!!! Without the use of any girl scouts either!!!

SO Thank you:Sandy, melinda, Daisy 77, Dance2874, Harleygirl, My2boysrtwicethefun, Fnacesca, Mony MOny, Monica, Disneydawn, Punkin, Wodners, SHannon, SPoppins, Stacey, Dsimom9761, AMy, Disney Obsession, WI DisneyFan, Madsofa, Winkers, CinderellasSlipper, summeresk, Kelly PIgget74WOW what a great group of PEEPS!!!

LEt me tell you while I was reading your posts between my tears and giggles I had some visions: Remember "The way we were" the movie with Barbara Stresiand and her bull horn while I was reading I could see several of you out there with your bullhorns that gave me giggles, the cookies can get me thourgh anything too thanks for the cyber cookies and needless to say all the great compassion and undersnading of my frustation and fear.

Bottom line whether I pictured some of you cheering from horns or hiding behind bushes or writing congressman or just holding my hand and holding me up, I pictured alll of you!!! BTW we are all size 7s too!!!! I did not feel alone and the fear has been replaced with faith and many times these 24 hours it was not my faith but all of yours.

See oddly as it seems you know a year ago I would have jsut been hiding out and eattting my way thorugh and letting things happpen to me and my son. Now with the knowledge I am going to deal with life and find refuge in food rather I have found what I need by reaching out to others.

Just those of you newly joining this thread its life taht thorws me curve balls and in the bast I used food to stuff all the things of discomfort and instead I got me a team who stays out on the field with me and keeps me focused on whats REALLY important. My success as a person a Mom a wife a employee and my success as being a good friend. Thank you all I have been so touched by your kindness and now Snady you can step off the platform and give me the bullhorn!

I fdound strength here to blow my own horn today!! LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!!!

OK someone pass the cookies, UM hey I can't eat after 10pm have to fast for the test tomorow so if you need you can lean on me and have a good giggle at seeing if I can make it!!!

We're here for you anytime you need us. That's what friends are for.

1st. WOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOTY on post 800.

2nd. You, your husband and children have my prayers and support. I think it's wonderful that you want to keep peace and remain friends. All to often divorced couples fight constantly and feed off the misery of each other.
Thinking of you and wishing you the best.

 

[winkers]

Bee, I'm so sorry you are going thru this. I don't know what to say other than you all will be in my prayers.

 

[Dizneydawn]

Madsofa...Have a great trip!!! Are you packed??? Do you have your tickets??? Are you in the throws of the "final day frenzy"??? Take a deep breath and know that in 2 days you'll be in Disney!!!

If you can believe it I'm not! Had a long last day of work. Checked in at 9am returned home at 10:30pm! Thankfully I have tomorrow off and will be alone. Kids to daycare DH to work. I'll be able to get it all done - I think! Thanks for the thoughts!

Good luck w/your trip. Hope you have a good time... take a day for your self .

Bee & Grumpy...my prayers are with you both...you each are amazing individuals with 2 beautiful girls and God will bring you both through this and onto a better side. I am glad the boards here offers comfort to each of you...that is what family is about...unconditional support not right or wrong...just love.

 

[Minnie_Moo]

Shannon, I just saw that you figured out your technical problem! I wasn't having any success explaining it tonight even though I've done it in the past

ASo I am back from swimming. Yes, took my fat bottom and got in the pool. Have to start somewhere right?

So, I ran laps in the water, kicked like crazy holding on to the wall and swam some laps.

That is the most exercise I have had in quite awhile. I felt a little twinge (if that is even a word) in my back.. But, I am carrying around a lot of weight both mentally and physically.

I keep tellng myself I will be fine... and I have a lot of moments of calm and more moments of crying. Dan and I have been married almost 17 years. I have been with him for almost half my life. I am scared to death. He is all I have ever known. Anyway-enough!!! I have to stop mourning... but I have a feeling I will be in mourning quite awhile.
