Myfitnesspal.com. I’ve lost almost 75 pounds in a year, and myfitnesspal.com was a HUGE help. You can talk to your doctor about a month’s dosage of phentermine (that helped me get jump-started) and then after that, drinking water, portioning food out before I ate (and keeping track of what I ate), using smaller…

Drink water. Lots and lots of water. Fills you up, gives you something to fiddle with. Keep almonds in your car if you drive, hard boiled eggs and little individually waxed cheese rounds in your refrigerator so you’ll always have a protein snack at hand.

No advice but I can commiserate.

Have you had a second opinion? I’m a nurse with 30 years of gyn experience. Endometrial hyperplasia is not usually a reason to have a total hysterectomy and oopherectomy . It is considered to be potentially precancerous if not monitored and treated but major surgery isn’t normally the first option. Maybe there are…

Anyone have advice on how to get started with losing weight? I’ve found out from my doctor that I need to lose about 50 pounds (I knew it was causing me some problems, but I didn’t realize it was this much, which fucking scares me). My doctor and I have started on a plan, but I’m nervous: I’ve never successfully done…

I am so, so sorry. I haven’t been through anything similar, but I would encourage you to reach out to your support network for any practical help you may need post-op: will you need someone to pick up your medications? Someone to bring meals? Someone to call once a day to check on you? If you can afford it, maybe hire…

Sounds like an excellent night! I’m having a night in after a date this afternoon, and I’m still figuring it out. We’ve been texting for a couple of weeks, and gone out twice now—each time we end up talking for four or five hours. He’s also the first guy I’ve been talking to since kind of a shitty break up (though not…

Well, I’m very late AND grey, so I’m probably shouting into the abyss here, but...

Don’t forget that interviews go both ways! You are interviewing them to find out if they’re a good fit for you, not just the other way around. Good luck!

I’m going pretty good. Always a lot of introspection and sadness. Years of therapy helped me allow myself to say this makes me sad and always will. and that’s ok. Like i said I’m not a mopey one and used to think still being hurt by it was self pity that i should get over. Not how it works. That’s made me happier in…

Hugs to you. I hope you’re doing okay today

Not typically maudlin but today is the birthday of my 29 year old daughter. I’ve healed a great deal from the coercion, manipulating and shame that come out of her adoption intra family but these days are still hard. I’m very pro choice and that extends to adoption but it must me the woman’s (teenagers) choice A…

Knit, wine, Star Wars, and Bumble for me tonight. I’m living it up Jezzies!

Me too, she loves cold weather and Autumn!!

Clacton on sea? Couldn’t find somewhere classy like Brighton? Fucking turd.

I wanted to stop in and say hiiiii. I’ve had an interesting couple months and am so excited for tonight to be a relax at home Saturday. I hope my fellow Jezzies are well.

I’m sitting at my in-laws house in North Carolina because I had to flee my home in Florida with my two cats, dog and husband because of a hurricane. Now I’m worried about my family who couldn’t leave Tampa. I think I’m going to steal my MIL’s Xanax tomorrow.

Thanks for the work you do. I’m a psychologist and I couldn’t do my job without case managers. You all don’t get nearly enough recognition. Take care of yourself first, since you can’t help anyone if you fall apart. Better to slow down and recoup to come back at it later, and if your employers don’t get that then you…

My Lovelies!

It’s been a week. I’m so overwhelmed at work I just come home at the end of the day, flop on the couch and lay there comatose until about 8:30 when I drag myself to bed and promptly pass out. I’m stressed. The dog is stressed. And I’m stressing out other people.
