1 ounce beef jerky
1 srv peanuts

2 hard boiled eggs with 1 tbs margarine
1 "mini" bagel stone ground wheat (230 cal)
1 tbs light cream cheese

any exercise? =) I gotta keep at ya, you know :p it doesn't have to be much - just add something to your day, like spending half an hour walking... you can do it!!!
 
I forget to mention that I also take the following pills:

Herbalife multi-vitamin 1 pill 3 x a day
Herbalife total control 1 pill 3 x a day
Herbalife cell activator 2 pills 3 x a day
Herbalife AM 2 pills 1 x a day
Herbalife PM 2 pills 1 x a day

The AM/PM will be done in a few days. It is a 21 day program.

I also take the following prescription meds

Imuran 50 mg 3 x a day
Paxil 20 mg 1 x a day

The Imuran is an immune suppresant. It keeps my body from rejecting my liver. The paxil is an anti-depressant.
 
uggh... Cora honey..I hate that you have to take all that stuff. God bless you for working so hard under all the pressures you already have...you are quite a woman! And i complain when i have my period...what a woos i am!
 
I don't mind taking the herbalife pills or the other pills. I am happy that I am no longer taking the prednisone for my liver condition. There are so much worse things to have. I feel great to be alive and relaively healthy. Never been much of a complainer.

Period - HAHAHAHA don't miss that! Had a hysterectomy 8 years ago at age 26.

shake
1 serv peanuts

shake
1 serv. beef jerky

64 ounces of water
 
Im sorry you had a hard time, loosing a parent must be very hard to deal with(my mom had a heart attack and scared the living daylights outta me so i can only immagine what your dealing with)financial stuff well that i know all about, it sucks, keep your chin up itll get better soon :)
 
It does seem like that sometimes. Do something to make yourself feel better. It's really easy to get into a funk, and not so easy to get out. My thing to make myself feel better is to go on a cleaning rampage (I'm weird), probably because I'm convinced if I can make my house perfect, I can make my life perfect. Doesn't work, but it makes me feel better. So does a nice long jog. Or window shopping, or going for a walk with a friend I haven't seen in a while. Hope things get better. :)
 
Thanks. The financial situation may not get better without filing for bankruptcy, something I am trying to avoid. This stress is making it impossible for me to eat, but I am trying.

shake

shake

1 hotdog
6 quik taters (tater tots)
(that was supper and they were forced down)

about 64 ounces of water
 
I know what you mean my parents filed for bankrupcy a few yrs ago bc theyre buisness was failing(real bad) and my H filled bc of his divorce to his ex wife (boy was that messed up...his lawyer told him to get a better paying job for a while hahahaha what a jerk)
its a hard decision to make but once its done you start to feel better, it takes 7 yrs but then you have credit again(not saying its what you need to do..i dunno your situation but alot of ppl have been through it)have you trying consolidating(sp?)something where they take your bills and make it into a monthly payment(or something like that?)
a walk or a jog helps me deal with stress maybe it will help you :)
 
Today.

Made appt with bankruptcy attorney, then received a call from mortgage company. They are willing to refi us at 70% of our home value, which will pay off our current mortgage, get us out of debt and leave us a cushion, and we can afford the payment! Hubby and I had a LONG talk about it and it looks like that is the way we are going to go. It will mean tightening our belts, but we can do it, we have been able to do it in the past. Loser me had been trying to handle everything on my own and not facing reality, and not telling him reality, and almost cost us a lot. I was worried to death that I lost my husband out of this but we cleared the air. This was over the phone, which is sometimes easier to talk, no face to face stuff. I love him more than anything (well.....counting our sons). I would be devastated if I lost him. I let him in on a lot of stuff that I never told him before. I cried and cried and cried. I NEVER cry. I never told him or anyone how scared I was when I was diagnosed with autoimmune hepatitis 18 months ago. To be told your body is rejecting your liver is a lot to swallow, but I tried to pretend it wasn't a big deal. So what, you take your meds and call it a day. There are people in worse situations. But ya know what......its scary as hell somedays. Get out of that turtle shell Cora! Smarten up! This man loves you for you and always has and always will.

Still having a hard time eating. I hope it gets better soon. We see the mortgage person tomorrow night at 5.

breakfast - shake
lunch - shake
supper - been trying since 7 (its not 9) to eat a single serve container of applesauce. I have food with me here at work. I'm just not hungry really. I just feels like I have an angry stomach. I have to force the food down.

Water - 48 ounces

today is my 7 am - midnight day..ick!
 
I am so sorry to hear about all the stuff you have been going through. My parents just payed their last bankruptcy note. And both my brother and sister have both had to file. So I know a little about what you are going through. And its a good thing that you opened up to your hubby. Always communicate with him. Remember he is you first best friend.
Another thing, my mom has been taking paxil for quite sometime. It has helped her soo much. She has worked her way done to a very low dose but w/o it she would have panic attacks and everything else.
As for your hepatitis, is that something you will always have or can it go away?
Know that you are not alone, lean on your family, lean on us....that is why we are all here!....And remember..you have to take care of yourself first before you can take care of anybody or anything else....plus you are a tough cookie.....mmmm cookies..lol
 
Thank you.

AutoImmune Hepatitis is your body fighting against your liver. Other autoimmune disorders are rhuematoid arthritis, lupus, MS, diabetes....I will have it forever.

I figured this was supposed to be a diary, so I might as well let it all out in here!
