Hoping for a better new year.Friday, December 31, 2010
This is very hard for me to talk about but I need to get it out once and for all. I have been in a deep depression for a very long time and have not really been taking good care of myself. In other words, I have let myself go! Sad to say I have gained some of the weight back and I am extremely mad at myself for this. I worked so hard to lose all that weight and now I have to start all over. I know what I need to do, just don't have the energy to do it I guess. I have been going through some medication changes and things really haven't gotten much better. I am also currently experiencing major migrains. Not fun! I am finding it very hard to get up in the morning. I just wish that I had the strength and energy to get back on track. Somedays I feel so much like a failure because I preached to so many people about sparkpeople and how much I had lost and look at me now! I know it's all my fault because I am the only one who gave up on me. I don't want to give up any more! I really want to break out of this depression and find the me that I am looking for once and for all! I am sick and tired of being the fat me! ![]()

Hey we're all in this together and SO many of us have been there, done that! But together we can ALL turn our lives around! My new favorite quote: "Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive and then go do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive." Howard Thurman I think it is finding what lights a fire 'neath us and fanning those flames is what makes the difference for us! Don Report Inappropriate Comment |

I understand how depression can be so devastating, and work against your attempts at healthy living. I have never suffered "major" depression, but have been diagnosed "mildly" depressed in the past. But the affliction does run in my family, and I have seen it's effects. I wish I had some better words of wisdom for you, but all I can say is I am pulling for you and praying for you to pull out of your depression enough to begin to care about yourself. That is an amazing first step, and I've personally seen the results of learning to love yourself enough to take care of your body. Report Inappropriate Comment |

Oh Jenn, I hope you can figure out what works for you and make 2011 great! I'm sure things will turn around soon, remember, little changes lead to big results and get compounded. You can do this. *hugs* and good luck Report Inappropriate Comment |


Saturday morning we lost a very speacial young lady in our lives. My sister-in-laws niece (4 yrs old) was taken away from us in a deadly house fire. She is loved so deeply and she will be greatly missed! She will forever be in our hearts.
The main reason that I am posting this is that the house she was in had no smoke detectors at all. My mission here in her memory is to make sure that everyone has all the necessary smoke detectors in their house that they should have. There should be one in every bedroom and one outside the bedrooms. One in every room except the kitchen (should be just outside the kitchen because of regular cooking smoke). Should be one in the same room as your furnace also with a carbon monoxide dector. I believe that if you call your local fire department they will come to your home and do an assesment for free to make sure that you have what you need. They will either tell you what to get or may be able to give them to you at no cost. All you need to do is ask. What's the worst that they can say... Please, I beg of you to do this...if not for you, do it for the ones you love. Please pass this along to everyone that you know.
I would hate for anyone else to lose someone that they love just because they don't have a smoke detector where they need one.
God has one special, beautiful angel by his side.
Thanks for listening.

Thank you all for your support and prayers. She was visiting her father that weekend and they left candles unattended. That is how the fire started.

I am so sorry to hear about this precious young child losing her life. That is such a loss but when it might have been prevented, it makes it even harder to bare. My thought and prayers will be with the whole family during this time of grieving and bless you for spreading the word about smoke detectors. If it saves one life............

Oh Dear, my heart is with you and your family. A loss like this is so hard to bear, but also so unnecessary. You are right, Every house should have at least one working smoke detecter, if not more than one. Each house should have a carbon monoxide detecter. This is a personal issue with me as a smoke detector saved our lives years ago.

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. I'm married to a fire fighter and the station will give them away to families that need them. Good for you for passing the word.
