Steady on, girl
Thank you for all the words of congratulations in my previous blog. I’m happy about it, too, but honestly it was supposed to be just a piece of side news since the rest of the blog was so negative. I’m really preoccupied with my troubles.
I am trying to take one day at a time. Geesh, these days even that seems to be more than I can cope. I really have to get on with my work. But truthfully, all my energy goes into staying away from food (and cigs). An absolute slump. I’ve been trying to convince myself to go for a walk for two days, now, to no avail. I am pushing away the things that help me, and I know that is a typical sign of depression. I’m still struggling to overcome it. Hopefully, I’ll have something better to report tomorrow.
How I wish for more happy days to return. Organised and well functioning days.
Those days will return. Always so hard to get back to good habits, but the BAD ones are always so easy to fall back into. So thrilled about the cigarette thing. My husband was such a grouch for about 3 months after he quit. And he was not a grouchy person. A couple of times I was tempted to say SMOKE, I can’t stand this. He said it was the hardest thing he ever did in his life. So hang in there sweetie. This too shall pass. And you will overcome the way you always do. Faith in you. Love, Marge
Well, I hope you feel better real soon. I hear quitting smoking can be real tough. But just remember everything that is going good in your life. Look at all the blessings that you have. I wish I could tell you something that would help you get energized or feel better but sometimes we just have to do things because we know they are good for us. And walking may help you feel better and clear your head and then maybe you can tackle that work of yours. Good luck and I really do hope you feel better.
Sometimes you just gotta suck it up and MAKE yourself take that walk. Promise you will feel better afterwards. Prove me wrong… (grin)
Dear, there is NOTHING like a little exercise to get your mind off self and get your oxygen flowing and lift your spirits.
Just coming back from Holiday, it will most likely take you a few days to get back to routine and organization, but you WILL get there. Cause your just that kind of person… determined, smart, and goal oriented.
Just for today. That’s all you have to worry about. Make a list. Check it off. Smile. GO FOR A WALKKKKKKKKK… pet that cutie pie of a dog. Just for today Lid… just for today you can do ANYTHING YOU SET YOUR MIND TO.
Hugggggggggggs,
Shan
You’ll get there Lid, it’s never easy quitting the cigs and it affects everyone in different ways. Keep your chin up…get out there for that walk and make the most of our sunshine before it hybernates again!!! HUGS xxx
I am sorry you are down right now. I know you must be feeling overwhelmed with everything right now. These days seem like they will never end sometimes but they will. Sometimes you just need to clear your mind and I find that exercising helps that. I know it doesn’t seem that way right now but I know you will feel better soon. Just make yourself take that walk or run…..anything to get that heart pumping. You will feel better. We are here for you anytime girl!
Hi Sweetie,
Sorry to hear that you are feeling down. I struggled with depression myself. I have been better than I used to be, but bad circumstances can really throw me off kilter. As a Christian, I am supposed to walk by faith through the circumstances, but… the Lord knows that is a weakness for me. I often pray the Bible verse that the Lord’s strength be made perfect in my weakness.
I know exactly what you mean about it taking so much focus to do things like eating properly and quitting smoking. I am always amazed at how much effort it takes to get on the right track on these things.
I will pray for you.

I know Lidecka. It takes a while to figure out a way to deal with the quitting smoking thing. It’s been almost 10 months with me and I’m still trying to figure things out but living one day at a time is the way to go at it. If anything, make yourself get out there for that walk. That will be a start and a step in the right direction. Try to figure out a way to mentally be patient with yourself. You quit smoking Lidecka and that’s a great accomplishment. For me, it’s hard to realize that seeing that scale go up and up but I kept reminding myself of how huge it was that I had quit smoking after 13 years. You’re going through a phase that will involve a lot of mental work right now. Quitting is such a huge deal!!! Be proud of that Lidecka!!!!!
You’ll get there…One day at a time, or if its a particularly bad day, one minute at a time…Sometimes, just waking up is an acheivment…Any thing above that, well, wonderous…So just know this too shall pass, right??? Thats what they say, anyway…Whoever THEY are…
You need to get back into your other routine. I know you can pull yourself out of this funk. I completely LOVE the smaller meals often because it will help with energy. Eat like it is a scheduled task - just for fuel is my opinion. Then schedule your activity and let of some steam and clear your beautiful mind. Within a short time your body will feel renewed and the good spirits will be back.
It is never easy to go through this time. We all have been there! I have my ups and downs, but starting with good energy is the key. Healthy input and output has great rewards beyond creating the bodies of our dreams. With planning comes improved emotions and coping mechanisms. Because no matter what we do to try and be happy, life always throws us curves. I know we have the equipment to kick some behinds. Do you need my friendly boot? I know I have needed yours in the past and you gave it so freely
You are the bomb baby! I know you can do it.
Just wondering how you are doing…
Have you been feeling better?
I will pray for you today - that the Lord will give you His peace that passes all understanding and that He will help you get into a healthy routine.
