No weight loss again:(
I think that the combination of stress and worry in my life has finally taken it's toll. I am very depressed about some events happening in my life-that which I wrote about yesterday....
I feel as though there is so much happening that I have no control over and it makes me feel so helpless. All I can do is try my very best to make things right with my past so I can move forward with my future.
I have one very good friend in Vancouver and several in Alberta who are asking me to come for a visit...just to clear my head and to get away. Problem is, I don't think I would ever come back though. I think I would stay. I don't think I want to return here to Tumbler Ridge where all I know is pain and grief and sorrow. I want to make a fresh start.
I have journalism experience, so I am pretty sure that I will be able to get a job at a newspaper...maybe in Leduc, AB, or even in Vancouver like the Vancouver Sun! I am trying to just make it in this world and I think that if I make a fresh start, things may all come into better perspective for me.
Maybe that's just the ticket! I am so very close to my weight goal of 140 pounds, and I think that I can begin to accomplish other goals at this point in my life now. I think I need to.
Maybe, just maybe, I need to stop thinking about other people for a change and think a little about what Candice wants. It's about time! My mom would say the same thing!

It's true. We women often think and give and od for others all the time and we forget to do things for ourselves. Sometimes you have to just stop it all and do what is bets for you. If this move is best and it takes you closer to good friends who love and support you, then do it!

Good luck with your surgery -- tomorrow -- right? Everything will be fine. Maybe you could take a break from men for a while. Who needs 'em? Right? Maybe not. I am no expert. Your heling up time after the surgery will also give you time to think things through!

Aw Strawberry... Look at your weight history chart when you start feeling down, especially when you think that you're not loosing. I myself have not made any progress towards my goal in 5 days, but I'm not giving up and I don't have the motivation of such an awesome history. We all know it gets harder and takes longer to loose the last of it.
Good luck with your surgery, things will look up.. And beleive me, I've been divorced for 8 years, I've had a few men in my life in that time, 5 I think including this one of over 2 years. He's good guy but insensitive and pretty harsh sometimes... A salesman would tell you.. it's all in the nubmers. Take care of you, find happiness for you, accomplish an work towards your goals, and you'll be suprised when the best man comes along just about the time you are sure - you don't want one.

I believe that when life closes one door, it opens another. Give yourself time to work through the greif of losing your mother, give yourself time to heal after the "break-up" and maybe even seek some professional counseling to help you deal with the amount of greif you must be experiencing over your losses. There is so much going on in your life right now. I promise you this... no matter how bad things look right now, they will get better and you might even be surprised at what good things are waiting you in the very near future. You have three wonderful children, you are not alone.

Just wanted to let you know -- once again -- I'm thinking about you with regard to your surgery. Heal up soon!
