Stress and you guess???

Yes, things have been crazy in my life. Things that I have no control over are way OUT of control!!! My mom is very ill (cancer) my uncle is close to death (cancer) my oldest son is in jail (again) and that is just the icing trust me. I could go on and on!!!!! Why does food seem like it is calling out "comfort here????". Food doesn't make things any better ever.... I had to talk myself out of oatmeal cookies tonight. Good thing is that I did it. Somehow.

Hello Scarlett! I thought of you today, so I went back into my own blogs and found where you had commented a full year ago so that I could email you. Now I've found your blog and I am so sorry to learn of the illness in your family and heartbreaking challenge with your son.
My sisters and I struggled with weight issues too. Goodness, even Oprah has weight issues with personal trainers, and all the money in the world to have chef's prepare her meals. What I want to say is weight is important for health but it isn't everything. I have been unemployed 6 months, went to a support group for other unemployed people in San Francisco today, I came home, carrying everyone's story on my shoulders. I made myself a Lemon Drop Martini (my friday night, no love life, no job, feel better vice) and a giant salad. I put shredded carrots from Trader Joes, a few grilled chicken strips (also from TJ's) garbonzo beans, a little bit of shredded cheese, a little tomato, and some Vinegrette Dressing. I tossed it all around, sat and ate my huge salad and drank my drink and I feel just lovely. I don't even want the Oatmeal Raisin, Cranberry cookies that are in the freezer :)
I support you!
