How dare they do that? I love to browse the books, like candy to me, and I don't want to be bothered. Especially not by loud cell phones and the ensuing conversation I don't want to hear. I know what you mean about the weight. I'll lose a little bit, then a few days later weigh again, and yup, it's back!<br />BrendaBrenda Pruitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14544794729410559072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3190495681369643112.post-84112142374344193082010-01-21T15:35:46.751-06:002010-01-21T15:35:46.751-06:00Oh Maggie, I so love your sense of humour!

You write what we all feel and do. What you could do is set a date that you are going on the tonight show say 3 months from now and then think of that when you are near food. I joined the gym too and all the men look at me like do you know how to use the equipment? Yes, thank you, I know what I am doing. I think. Anyways, let me know how it goes for you. p.s. Don't weigh yourself again for at least 2 weeks. Better yet throw the scale away. Your clothes will tell you how you're doing.Candyleihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17940481300846596938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3190495681369643112.post-56713137962697924222010-01-21T12:47:15.150-06:002010-01-21T12:47:15.150-06:00I have only been by here a couple of times and oh ...I have only been by here a couple of times and oh how I love your writing!!

The reason I say this is my husband is a truck driver & if I could guess you both suffer from irratic hours & no regimented times to eat. This results in "grab n' go" junk food at times. ....just my opinion!!<br />Gotta' learn to carry good snacks with you....<br /><br />I don't know how you contend with the evil underbelly of the world. I really don't know if the world is going-to-hell or we just hear more news. Just heard about the man who shot & killed 8 people in Virginia...... Why??<br />The courts are clogged & most of the lawyers should be in jail themselves but I ultimately blame all the do-gooders who raise their children with the attitude of "My Johnny wouldn't do that". Then the next thing you know Johnny is on a killing spree.... So sad!!<br />Take Care....<br />Love,<br />Marilyn<br />xxooAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3190495681369643112.post-62643336366701217922010-01-21T01:16:03.922-06:002010-01-21T01:16:03.922-06:00Bless your heart, you're dealing with an awful...Bless your heart, you're dealing with an awful lot right now.<br /><br />It's hard for me to take care of certain patients when I know they've done something heinous.

I wanted to pick up this "little man" and throw him across the room but if I had done this..., he would have probably just given me an appointment for a psyche evaluation.<br />The battle is ours. No one is going to help unless you want to spend a lot of money. I've been to them all. <br />It comes down to a slow and steady resolve.., <br /><br /> I loved your post and I really identified. The last part about the boy killing his family is so sad. I hope you find some way to cope with this. The stress can sometimes be overwhelming.

I had that happen to me a few years ago, I was 15 pounds over what my short stature could comfortably take, which was strange for me because I had always been so thin. I started walking and it gradually started coming off. Now I just need to work on eating healthy for my health. That poor guy in the bookstore!He didn't take the hint very well did he! I am sorry to hear about your work situation, it sounds very tough. I think I would be sick to my stomach around such people. Hang in there and I am sure you will find the strength to do what you need to do.
