I went through the same crap Kristi. But I have taken the words that were used to hurt me an flipped them. I know I'm big but I'm healthy, well only a few things wrong but it has nothing to do with my weight.

Thank you redhead least I know I am not the only one

you r absolutely not the only one.. there are lots of us out here. really try to tell someone that you trust and see a doctor for sure.
do it for yourself ans those who love you.

Well ty, sweetie......just don't feel it half the time anymore. But I can honestly say I look better now than when I joined this site back in 2007. I look ten years younger than I did back then! LOL...

Last night I was like this grumpy old man at work. And it was so cool. My learning about venting has evolved. It is helping my communication skills with those over me, Those under me and even the residents that I deal with. It is something about honesty that I wasn't even aware of before. It is an actual sharing that I can do with people who are not trying to manipulate me.

One of the best ways to deal with depression is setting goals, you set small goals and you accomplish them


You say tomorrow I am going to go for a Bike Ride or go to the mall and talk to a random stranger and you do it sounds ridiculous but once you do it it feels good


another thing is to appreciate what you in my world travels I have met some of the poorest people in the world yet they were as happy as can be and that inspired me and I have never been the same person I was before meeting them

Whatever your depressed about work love personal life theres always a bright side two sides of a coin and there is always a positive outcome to any situation you just have to find it you may not see it at first but its there

I am sorry to say I hate my life because I put people before me before myself and I try to do good but what do I get nothing in return that's why I think no one likes me and I give up my life to help my single mom with nine kids and a dog and I try to get a job and can't but I will be going to college for horse trainer

We have this thing about life sometimes we hate it but you know what it is all we as humans know
we only know living and I am not willing to take the risk to find out whats on the other side


Life is full of fun and adventure you just got to find it
and Kristi if what you say is true then you should have Karma on your side good things will come just have to wait and if your tired of waiting go out there and go get the good things be active and take control of your life not just directing it at you you Krista but anyone who doesn't like their situation has to go out and take control of their life

Hey I lost ten pounds changing my diet to no junk food I only been eaten salad with boiled chicken in it and no sugar added salad dressings and going to the gym but still not losing weight that fast

Wow Kristi, you have a LOT on your plate hon! The battle for weight loss is, unfortunately, going to be a slow process. I've been dealing with my weight issues since I was 17, even though I've been overweight for nearly 19 years. I have already had two heart attacks (caused by stress), had my gallbladder removed last year, had two emergency surgeries on my kidneys, and back surgery before I was 27.

Keep it up tho, you'll do great!

P90X that **** works and depression is a lot more than weight issues healthy mind first leads to a healthy body

Ok ill try that okami

Plus okami I have a 18 year old asking to go out with me and he has muscles but I am going to lose weight I need to

You do what makes you happy , whatever that may be

I am glad you are encouraging her, Amber. I have had two heart attacks, too and know how painful they can be. I have a job that keeps me active but lately have discovered the real importance of eating your vegetables. I was always a cheeseburgers, French fries and milkshake or Diet Pepsi kind of guy. Even in school I would opt for the hamburger line since we were given that choice. While I was going through my real hard time with the wife's passing I would neglect to eat a balanced diet but it is real important. You really do need the basic four food groups. So I am trying now to look for the fruits and vegetables when I shop. Even though I drink a lot of coffee sometimes it is good to drink water. I used to have a friend who said that water would rust your plumbing. But my plumbing is mostly PVC now. What is strange is that I really like fruits and vegetables. It is important to have a good metabolism.

And the sad thing is....all that crap I listed happened LAST YEAR....

Ok, I might not be back up for a while, going back home and right now my laptop is in the pawn shop right

Take care, Amber. We will see you when you come back.

I'M BACK BABY!!!!!!!!!! And found out a couple days ago that I have lymphedema

Are the health problems EVER gonna stop??????
