I just got into "I don't give a damn" mode. I was stressed out at work and just let it all go downhill. It's hard sometime to avoid those stress-driven binges. I'll try my best to not let it happen again! Thank you for the note; I have been properly shamed!

from krugerpak007 :

Long time no hear! I hope you are doing ok, and heres wishing you a great 2005 sweetie, Take care. xoxox Kathy

Don't worry, his next major purchase will be paid for by him. I've already taken away his computer and cell phone. The only thing he is getting from me is a place to live, food on the table, college tuition and gas money to and from school.

from imabrat2 :

If my son brought home grades like that I'd be doing the happy dance down the middle of the street. I've yet to see a single grade and refuse to pay any more tuition money until I do...but that's a whole other Oprah...LOL.

from imabrat2 :

Thanks for all the sweet notes, they mean a lot to me. Woo Hoo for you, schools out for now. It's nice to get things done that you haven't had the time to do, but be sure and rest too. It's time to pamper yourself a bit. :-)

from imabrat2 :

He definitely lives in the twilight zone...I just hope he finds his way back soon. As far as the pity party goes, you are more than welcome...BYOK. (bring your own kleenex)

from working-it :

Hey back at ya, homie! Just wanted to let you know that I totally relate to some of the things that you write about your parents, particularly the relationship you have with your dad. It's practically an identical situation with me. Parents can be so frustrating, but remember our moms are both really cute sometimes too! Sounds like a hardcore plan on the stomach, but do what you gotta do. Let's do this!

from imabrat2 :

We could talk about your stomach, but we'd have a much longer conversation if we talked about mine...lol. As far as parents go, you're right sometimes we "don't get it", but our kids get even because they "don't get it" right back. Good luck with your grades, I'm sure you'll do just fine. :-)

from imabrat2 :

Thanks for the sweet comments and prayers. :-)

from imabrat2 :

Congrats to you for the great grades. Sorry I haven't taken the time to leave many notes. Life has been kind of weird for me lately and I'm having a real hard time. I still read all your updates and send good thoughts your way. **hugs**

from krugerpak007 :

Feel better sweety. When I feel crappy, I totally neglect myself. To tell you the truth, this is day 2 with no shower-Ughhh. I am sick of myself. I am going home early to take a long, hot shower with oils and all kinds of things and getting under the covers. I hope you feel better sweety! xoxoxoxKathy

from fatlinda :

OMG...I do the same thing with my looks. When I feel good about myself, I spend so much more time on looking good. I used to not wear something if I had worn it in the past two weeks or more and spent lots of time on myself primping and feeling pretty. Now, I feel like I wear a uniform...Monday... fat uniform number one, Tuesday... fat uniform number two etc...feeling happy if I have enough fat clothes to make it through the week. Right now my fingernails aren't pretty and I need a pedicure. I think I'll take care of that this weekend.

from working-it :

No worries, I understand. But I'll definitely be hitting you up after finals! Take care and good luck with everything!

from krugerpak007 :

Just take care, like I said before. And good luck with all the studies. Weight is NOT everything. I am only starting to realise that now...Love Kathy (I will e-mail you the details...)

from krugerpak007 :

Thinking of you sweety. Take care!

from working-it :

Lol, you should have seen the look on my face when I read you ate cake and fruit punch! I was like this: :-O I won't freak out further about it, but you said we weren't to have sweets except for fruit and popsicles. Whatever happened to "Fruit is nature's candy"?!! I'll take this slip-up as a Free Cake Card for me, which I'll really be needing for my birthday. As for the slavery thing, yeah might as well speak up. It doesn't need to be a nasty confrontation; just putting it out there you know? Well, take care and stay FOCUSED and HEALTHY!

from imabrat2 :

The note you left just made my day. :-)

from working-it :

This is Cynthia speaking! So far, so good for both of us! We are going to make it this time - one for all, and all for one! Stay focused hon; I know I will!

from krugerpak007 :

I don't know. Although you say you didn't get things done like you wanted, it sounds like things have turned around a bit and are going nicely. Its great that Keron came with you to church and the dinner thing. Nice. cozy, familiar and yes I am jealous. But as long as you are happy. That's the most important thing. Take care, and yes, enjoy your new hair color! xoxox

from essence-girl :

Oh my goodness!!! No lecture from me, cuz I'm sure you've been through enough - I'm just so glad you're OK! Sorry to have been so out of the loop. Well, have a great weekend, enjoy your new hair color. I'll be in touch!

from fatlinda :

Have a good weekend!

from imabrat2 :

You are sooooo lucky you weren't more seriously injured. I'd give you the "mom" lecture about driving when you are overly tired, but I'm sure your mom already did that. Like you said, at least you're ok and I am very happy about that. Take care of yourself...I'm glad you have some good friends taking care of you. :-)

from krugerpak007 :

Good luck for the exam! I am so happy to see things are looking up and to hear you sounding so happy! Great! xoxox Kathy

from krugerpak007 :

Glad you guys had a good time anyway. Nothing wrong with clothes and food. Women after my own heart. You sound a bit better. Have a good sleep this afternoon, a good shower and take care! xoxox Kathy

from krugerpak007 :

Aw. Enjoy your mom time! And I promise you that she will forgive you for a messy apartment. I hope she cheers you up a bit. Have a good weekend. xoxox Kathy

from imabrat2 :

Have fun with Mom. I can't wait until my kid are actually excited to spend time with me...LOL.

from imabrat2 :

I read your entry after I left the last note. I'm sorry you are so overwhelmed right now. Stop being so hard on yourself. I don't even know what you look like, but I can tell you are a beautiful person without even seeing you. You are not lazy...working two jobs and going to school full time...who wouldn't be overwhelmed. Hang in there, these things always have a way of working out.

from imabrat2 :

Thanks for the notes...I just love getting notes. :-) Check out my 6/11/04 entry, it will explain a lot.

from krugerpak007 :

I am just the same. I also possess people. And I am jealous. And I hate it. Sometimes I wish I didn't have any feelings at all-wouldn't it just make life so much more easier? Holding thumbs that you will have a better week! xoxox Kathy

from imabrat2 :

I don't think the madness ever ends, we just get better at dealing with it. Have a good weekend.

from imabrat2 :

**HUGS**

from krugerpak007 :

Gosh, I think you needed some attention, some fussing and you sound so much happier. I am glad for you. I hope you are still feeling good. Take care of YOU! xoxox Kathy

from krugerpak007 :

Cheer up sweety and maybe get those meds looked in to.. Maybe they can put you on something that will make u feel better? xoxoxo Kathy

from krugerpak007 :

I hate finacial problems, and England is so expensive...we are a bit worried. Thanks for your note. Stop worrying so much. You have some great ideas though. Just keep your goals in sight and you will do fine. So go pack up those clothes and then relax. Stop stressing-ok? Even just for a while! xoxox Kathy

from imabrat2 :

Hang tough girl, you can do it. I agree with you on the credit card issue. It's not like spending real money....

from krugerpak007 :

Thanks for all the smiles and the comments dear! I get the feeling things are looking a little better for you? You have lost weight, you are having abreak from keron which maybe is what you need. Let him see how much you are worth! You went on a date with Chris. Go out and have fun sweety. Try not to think to much. Just relax and enjoy! xoxox Kathy

from krugerpak007 :

The A+ is awsome. Well done. Sorry to hear that you have still being going through pretty drastic things lately. I hope things only look up now. After this A+! Take care, have a good weekend, and be in touch. xoxox Kathy

from imabrat2 :

I'm glad things are looking up. Congrats on the A+...my son could take lessons from you.

from imabrat2 :

Sitting on a dry twig? Now there is an interesting mental picture. I've been feeling really crappy too and haven't even updated. Let's get drunk. :-)

from krugerpak007 :

I am sorry you are still going through such a hard time. Wth Keron, with weight issues and even health issues. I wish I had something bright to say that would take all your problems away. But I am sorry, I don't. I just hope these bad times will pass and that you will feel better. xoxo Kathy

from krugerpak007 :

Gosh I only saw your last few updates now. And you sound miserable. I am so sorry honey. I know oh so well what its like to feel down and out and to hate yourself. Just take it slowly. Try and start working on what you are unhappy about. Try and cut out sugar for a week. Already that will even make a difference. Or maybe treat yourself to a manicure or pedicure, something to just give you a bit of a lift... I really can relate. I just can't find the right words though to cheer you up. I hope you feel better soon. Don't be so hard on yourself. xoxox Kathy

from imabrat2 :

Sorry sweetie. **HUGS**

from krugerpak007 :

So are you having a good, relaxing weekend? Huh? :-) xoxox Kathy

from krugerpak007 :

Thanks again for your awsome notes..I use Neurofen. It helps so much. I hope you feel better. Have a good weekend. Kathy

from krugerpak007 :

Thanks for all your encouraging sweet comments! I am very proud of your running and gym efforts. Now I just need you to help me get in to gear...I am that the running of the opinions section without Sydney went ok, that the editing went ok, and that you are feeling generally good. Sounds like on the health and fitness side you are on the right track, so go for it girl! Take care! xoxo Kathy

from imabrat2 :

Your note about my son made me smile...Thanks!

from imabrat2 :

Thanks for the note...I just love getting notes. The fighting isn't much different when you're married and yes it really pisses me off when he doesn't react. He knows the calmer he is, the more mad I get...UGH.

from krugerpak007 :

You can do it. I can't. I am sick of fish..and sick of being fat. Why is it always a constant battle of the weight? It never stops...Now that I have used your note section to rant, I apologise. I hope besides cleaning, you have a good weekend honey! xoxox Kathy

from krugerpak007 :

Thank you for your note. Firstly before I forget though, you have to make a link on your page for your notes to make it easier for me to leave my notes...You are doing well. You cleaned and you are feeling better. Wow, go Keron for all those interviews. Trevor has been looking for weeks and has not had 1 damn interview...and any company would be lucky to have him... (Proud wife...) Anyway, your mom seems as though she is doing well, I am jealous too. We can do it.... ask her for more of her secrets and share ok? Otherwise I am glad to hear you sounding happier. Have a good weekend. xoxo Kathy

from krugerpak007 :

I want to hear all about Keron...more adventures, I love adventures. About depression. I am not an expert although I have been inhospital a few times, and on medication for a lot of years. I think it sounds like you may be suffering from depression. It does influence your sleep, you cry, you have intense feelings of unworthiness etc etc etc. If you have any questions i will do my best to answer. I can relate with feeling crappy in everything you put on. I am so sick of it. hang in there honey. And keep in touch. xoxo Kathy

from imabrat2 :

First of all, I suppose it wouldn't have been a wise move to slap your Aunt for making a snide remark about what you were wearing...but I bet you felt like it. It sounds like you need a great big **HUG**. I wish I knew of some magic words that would help you feel better.

from krugerpak007 :

Thank you for leaving me a comment. Ok, get in to your apartment and clean. Think how good you will feel when its clean. Like a different person? God, I wish I could take my own advice. My home is a wreck too...Also regarding the exercises. I need to get back in to it too. I guess we just have to begin. Throw ourselves in to it and somehow try and make it a priority. I am going to try this weekend. I say that everyday but really. We will feel so much better if we do it. So lets try. Your mom sounds wonderful. You sound so happy talking about her..Is the party this Friday? If so have a brilliant time. And update us on ALL the details. Enjoy! xoxo Kathy

from imabrat2 :

Thanks for the note Sweetie. I love the way you talk about your Mom. It is every Mom's dream to have their children look up to them and appreciate them the way you do. She obviously did a great job to raise such a wonderful daughter.

from krugerpak007 :

Well, I hope you have an awsome party. And that you get spoilt and that its better than you expect it to be! take care and thanks also for your note. xoxo Kathy

from krugerpak007 :

I am sorry. i know that feeling all to well. Birthdays for me are always a let down. Usually the people you least expect to remember, remember, while those that you thought were friends and would make a fuss, don't. Please cheer up... Kathy

from krugerpak007 :

I hope you hada good Birthday yesterday and that you were spoilt! xoxo

from imabrat2 :

I hope you had a Happy Birthday!

from krugerpak007 :

I am exactly the same. Once I go off track thats it, I eat and eat.....And it seems I do that more and more often lately. :-( Good luck! Kathy

from imabrat2 :

Trust me, I was no Angela Bassett either...lol. Of course then you have to deal with the dirty looks from the airport staff taking your ticket. I'm in Clearwater, just outside of Tampa.

from sarahsundae :

well it took awhile to get my back but thanks for saying that! //hugs

from imabrat2 :

Hang in there, you'll get back on track. **hugs**

from sarahsundae :

one day at a time. going to the gym is worth it. the more you go, the better your chances of seeing the results. it took me a long time before i saw the results. why do you think i go all the time now?

from imabrat2 :

What are you trying to do...ruin my reputation by adding such a sweet comment about me?...LOL. Have a good day sweetie. :-)

from essence-girl :

I'm wearing a dark denim skirt and a fitted light blue ringer tee, with some black straw-mat flip flops. Not very corporate, but whatever. Viva la comfy clothes day!

from imabrat2 :

I'll take the chinese food and chips...you can have the rest. You are sharing aren't you??

from essence-girl :

Just wanted to say thanks for the note you left me, and that I believe in you too. I know that you can achieve ALL the goals that you set for yourself, and I'm rooting for you!

from imabrat2 :

It's nice to see you updating again. Good luck and I'll be peeking in to check out your progress. Hmmm...that makes me sound like a diary stalker. LOL. :-)

from imabrat2 :

Thanks for the note. Your Po 'folks diet had me laughing so hard. Brazil sounds great, I would love to go someday even if it was only the "freakin Amazon"...LOL

from imabrat2 :

I'm glad you are back, I missed your updates. I just started Jenny Craig a couple of weeks ago and it is working great for me.

from imabrat2 :

Wow! Congrats on the great loss.

from essence-girl :

Yay! Okay, I'm back at Square One as well - today has been total crap eating, despite my whole affirmative yesterday. We'll talk about it this weekend. I can't wait to see you!

from essence-girl :

I'll definitely hook you up with the CD, once I get my hands on a CD burner... So yeah, the weekend of the 13th is when I am moving. I will be busy but would love to see you, so just let me know your schedule. Email me with your phone number, ok?

from get-thin :

CONGRATULATIONS MARIA!!!! I am soooo happy for and proud of you! I KNEW you could win, and I wish I could have been there. I bet you looked gorgeous at the ball (last year you were fierce in that polka dot vintage-looking dress). What did you do for the talent portion? What was the 2nd question they asked? I knew you'd kick ass on the Q&A session because you are one of the most opinionated, intelligent, eloquent, quick and witty people I've ever met. Nobody there could have answered a tough question better than you! Who is Mr. Black University of Pittsburgh? AAAAAHHH This is so great! I love you!!!! Oh, and of course we will hang out in New York, and tear it up for real. I can't wait to spend time with you and have you teach me all about the city. We'll have to talk on the phone for more details; I'll email you with my number and everything soon. Congratulations again, and I am so proud of you and love you very much! *hugs*

from get-thin :

Aww thanks for the encouraging shout-out. It made me feel great! Hope you've been able to resist the junk food cravings!

from get-thin :

Hi maria! I had the same "reception illusion" problem this morning at my mom's sendaway breakfast. Little bagels, mini quiches, mini muffins, small cute stuff that seemed fairly innocent. But i got my grub on like crazy. Oh well, there's always tomorrow! Take care hon!

from get-thin :

Happy New Year! Like i've been telling you all along, yeah, you ARE a great person. I'm happy to see that you're finally coming around. Congratulations on all the exercise you're putting in. You can do it!
