I've been really sick with fibro for over a month and it's triggered something in me, this weird kind of self hatred, like I blame myself for always being sick. I don't know. I don't want to give up so I came here. It was tough to post this beause I don't want to depress anybody and I know I'll be OK. I will be OK. This will move and I will feel better. Thanks.

Mern,
Broccoli, cheese, & egg sounds delicious. I'm going to have some of that.
Hope,
If you can't make it to the gym, just do a few minutes of workout when you can. Even 3 - 5 mins every now and then helps to make you feel better. When I was at one of my lowest points, mentally & physically, I started doing presses against a wall, mainly to keep from banging my head against it. That helped me to work up to being much better.
For me it's best to forget trying to get to the gym, instead do 'anywhere' workouts whenever I can. I do 'wait lifts' waiting in checkout lines even (tri. kickbacks, curls, verticals, etc.) I don't care if it looks dumb, as long as I look fabulous!

First of all, I want to thank you guys so much. Just venting helped but the caring also means so much.
April, you are an amazing and special person, so generous and compassionate. I really did miss you.
Ama, thanks for sharing your story and the "hugs." So sorry to hear you went through such a hard time and so glad to hear you've moved past that.
Donna, thanks for the really good advice. I do have to adjust my ideas about how I "work out." I think what you do is so smart and exercise and movement do help, mentally and physically. Plus I am sure you do look fabulous!
Thank you all also for supporting me in my posting of this. It really was a cry of the heart and you guys heard.

1. Ingest 64 oz water minimum.M,W
2. Log food.M,W
3. Slow down and be mindful when eating.M!T
4. Walk dogs M-T-W-Th- (then walk dog F, S, Sun) (one dog is going duck hunting f-sun)M!T,
Went out to dinner last night and I "Passed" on adding on a salad. I never feel that restaurant salads are that good for you. Plus as an add on item I feel them grossly overpriced. I make a super-food salad that I have gotten very used to, and most other salads pale in comparison. I didn't log what I ate, and probably didn't get in enough water.
I started my day today with a list of things that I would like to accomplish and I have made quite a dent in it!

Oh damn Hope. You're gonna make me do it.... {{{{Hug}}}}
I can relate to how you feel and not wanted to bring down others but to be honest that's why we're here... as one big dysfunctional family!
