OK Ro-Ro and the rest of BAF......

((HI-Jack)), Lee, I was wondering how you did with the 5k routine.  How much did you actually lose?  I want to start the program, so I have begun by making sure I walk almost everyday.  So now you like to run?  That's great!  I can wait to get there....

Treena, I am so sorry to hear about your struggle thus far, but do know that you are NOT alone.  WE all have fallen short at some point or another.  I know I have.  Just hang in there and try to get back on track... 

Much luv...

I finished the 5K last Friday and it went great.   I don't weigh myself anymore cause Becca got rid of the scale cause it was messing with my head.   I went down 2 jean sizes and I have my new pair of jeans i'm working toward hanging in the bathroom.

Yes I like running now,  I was running on Mon,Wed,Fri now I run everyday and I think I enjoy it cause on days I don't run I miss it.   I am up to almost 3 1/3  miles now without any stops.

I started the 8K program on Monday and so far so good.  

If you wanna know what's going on with my running,  I post every Mon, Wed, and Fri.  Just check out my thread. 

I hope you start running at first you think,  oh hell nawl  but then something happens if you stick with it and you start to like it.

@ "What the Fluck,  you had surgery twice and your ass still gained 40 pounds what the hell is that all about???  you need to stop eating crap and start working"

I'm guessing here that you don't need me to tell you that you SHOULD NOT work for the Suicide Prevention department in your city.

Thank you for being real and honest.

Hi There,

I'm not a "vet" but I look up to you guys and read your post for encouragement. I noticed you said you don't get on here as much cause it's so many new folks and you don't fit in. Originally, I felt the opposite way.........I felt like it was so many 'vets" that all the newbies just seemed like the outcast but I've learned to just get in where I fit in and keep it moving.

Get in that "vet" challenge and get your butt moving.

Lee has inspired me to start running so I started the couch to 5k last night and I'm feeling it today. YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!

that was sweet Talisha!

Welcome aboard the running trail Talisha,  I will look forward to your posts on my threads on Mon, Wed, Fri.   I want to know how your doing.

I haven't had  surgery yet, but I know what depression is.  It's easy for someone to say snap out of it, but if it was that simple, bytches wouldn't be depressed, right?  Some peeps used their spirtuality to come out of it.  Some are so jacked up mentally they can't see their blessings - they have to get the mental together b4 the spiritual falls into place.  I'm not telling you what I heard, I'm telling you what I KNOW.

This operation is for my physical, yes.  But it's for my mental too.  It's hard when you were smaller and you blew up = Fugg how it happened, it happened.  And Ms. Lady, until you dig DEEP inside of you and figure where you made the wrong turn, you will still be deep.  does introspection hurt?  Damn right.  If it doesn't, I'ma need yo azz to go back.  It will hurt - but it lets you see you for you.  

When you get depressed, ACCEPT THAT YOU ARE DEPRESSED. Why do I say that?  If you fight it, you fall deeper - it's a lesson I had to learn.  Sit yo azz down in a room - if you're at work, go to the bathroom.  Cry if you must.  Get that out.  Then pray.  Then have a talk with YOU.  Figure out why you are depressed.  Then try to fix the situation that's making you depressed.  Look at the good in your life.  Look @ the bad - just long enough to see if you can fix it.  if you can't LET THAT SHYT GO!!! It's hard to be positive when all you see if negative - especially about yourself.

It's a fight, I'm tired of fighting it, but my daddy (rest his soul) said he didn't raise a quitter, so I pray for strength and keep it moving.  As my dad would say, "it ain't nothing for a stepper".

Now, I could've sent you this this on the BL instead of putting my ish out there.  But it may help you and someone else.  I don't know y'all from Adam, so if I'm talked about - and?  You ain't the 1st and you ain't the last. Get in line! But I don't like seeing someone hurt - bytchy as I can be, I just can't do it!


Sweetie, it will be OK - it's gotta be.  I'm negative as hell, but somewhere I HAVE to believe it will get better.  Just don't let go of God's hands - that's when you really get in trouble.  And you will question Him why - He gave us reasoning. It's normal.  But keep praying - pray for healing, pray for delieverance from what's holding you from your goals.  Pray for your breakthrough.    just know while you are praying, YOU MUST DO YOUR PART!!!

Weeping may endure for the night, but joy comes in the morning.  So have that cry, and then smile and and remind yourself of your good attributes.

I'll be praying for you.  Sorry it was long...

HANG IN THERE JUS . I FELT YOUR SPIRIT THROUGH YOUR AVIE. REAL TALK . HANG IN THERE AND TAKE THE ADVICE FROM THE OLD HEADS . PEACE AND B EZY
