Long time no post

Hello all my VA peeps and newbies. Have not posted in a long time. Do lurk from time to time. I need some support and encouragement. I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and depression. Have not worked 3 full weeks since october and filing for soc sec disability. Real bummer to lose all this weight and now still cant move. Guess I cant blame it all on being fat. I thought that would solve all my problems w/ physical pain. Such is life. Really depressing actually. I am eating wrong cause i dont feel like fixing it. Drank my first protein shake in months today. GOt to do better. Have cute clothes i was wearing but wont fit now. Hope everyone is doing well. Welcome to the newbies. Shannon

Glad to see you posting again, sorry for all the problems you are having right now, but they will get better, just give it time and they will get you straightend out sooner or later, be strong and patient and dont do yourself wrong be good to you! Remember why you had to the surgery and keep focused.  Hope to see you on more.

Hi Shannon, I'm so sorry to hear about your fibromyalgia.  I will keep you in my prayers.  I know about some of the cute clothes not fitting anymore.  I've gained some too and it's sooo depressing.  Hang in there we will both lose it back. Big hugs, Wanda

Hi HOney,m I don't pot much either.  I was SO busy during tennis season, grooming dogs after practice AND Wayne and Is stay busy busy on weekends. Sorry to hear about the fibromyalgia, BUT a diagnosis is better than not knowing what in the heck is wrong.  Now you can learn how to deal with the disorder. \ ALSO--you are only cheating yourself when you eat the wrong things.  I do battle with myself every week.  It would be so easy to gain my weight back.  You only hurt yourself when you do that.  Be good to yourself instead.  Keep up that protein!!

Hey Shannon!!  So nice to "see" you.  Sorry to hear that things have not been going well.  The good thing is that now you know what the pain is from you can do your research and see what you can do about it.  You are strong & I know you can do it.  Taking care of yourself is important.  You can get back on track and get back into those cute clothes.  We are here for you. 

Ahhhhhhhhhh mannnnnnnnnn  I am sorry that you are going through this Shannon.   Okay...so you have fallen and skinned your knees.  Get yourself back up, brush them off, and keep moving forward.  You can do it.  I have seen you in full force !!!  One step at a time.  Things will be okay and you will be back on your path again !!! , Dana
