Give Karen some time. And do call her, even if just to see how
she is doing.
Tell her to call you.

Will have to make up the other 2 some how.
It is cold this morning.

Day one for me today.
Happy to be here.
thank you for your support.
I think if I can get my life straightened out then my bipolar won't be so out of whack.

Bizi,

We don't have to be perfect. Be gentle with yourself.

We face each day's issues to the degree that we can.

I like both Bizi's Day 1 comment. Because she is starting out
in a positive thought.

And Mari's because she is saying take it the best you can.

I'm going to adapt both of these, in this snowy mess we have.

Thanks ladies, I needed a new way to think right now.

Thank you for your support!
Had lunch with 2 of my lunch bunch friends. Which is always great to see them.
I told them of my Karen stories and they both told me to not deal with her any more. She has too many issues. I am kind of sad about it...I tried to help her and she did not want my help. She stopped going to sandras cafe for lunch so that is sad, and I had been eating lunch with her for a couple of months. I gave her a gift certificate to sandras for christmas and never heard from her. I won't call her like my friends told me. If she goes to sandras again I might say hi....Rejection is hard to take. I also hate confrontation.
Maybe I will never see her again....I don't know.

anyway today is day 2 AF.
I weighed 184 last night. 14 pounds heavier than before our vacation. Drinking fattening beers really bloated me. I think the scale will reflect that in this next week.
Had a slice of jeffs cinnamon bread/cake for breakfast with 2 cups of coffee.
Ate beef moussaka for lunch with a cup of turkish coffee.
Before dinner I had a slice of sharp cheddar cheese. For dinner Jeff cooked pork chops in coconut oil. and steamed broccoli.
After dinner, I snacked on 1/2 cup of mint chip gelato and one diet fudge pop and a handful of almonds. I drank sparkling water sweetened with toffee stevia.
I had a lot to eat today but did not drink any alcohol.
Hope I don't substitute food for alcohol. I really want to lose this weight and the only way that will happen is by eating less and moving more...so I will start going to the gym again and walking on the tred mill. I will go tomorrow.

I really need to take a shower tonight as I can't seem to get up earlier in the mornings now that I have been seeing 8:30 appointments. I set the alarm for 7:30 and roll out of bed.

Jeff is gone playing trivia with a friend and I was going to go to the gym tonight but changed my mind.

Have been reading this good book called the night circus. It is very good.
Jeff and I started watching LOST again. This will be our 4th or 5th time watching the entire series. We love it! It is something that we share doing together. We were watching 2 episodes of seinfeld but it moved to an hour later so that stopped.
So I am very happy we are watching LOST again!!!!!!
Thank you for reading this post.

That weight will come off again. Just keep the faith.

I know how hard it is.

I think it sounds good to go to the gym. I would love for
this bad weather to go away here. So I can just get back
to going out.

Bizi,

I'm sorry I'm so behind in your posts...

Reading them, I think you have shown a lot of insight

I'm so sorry about Karen, but I agree with your lunch bunch friends. You are better off not calling her. You were very good to her, but she has a lot of problems, and isn't ready to accept help. I think it's time to let go for your own well-being

Congratulations on day 3 AF!
I do not think you will substitute food for alcohol. I think once you start shedding some pounds from stopping drinking, you will eating less
