    About Me

    Hi, I'm a fifty year old female with insomnia and major depression. Looking for some support. Working on losing weight and keeping myself healthy and happy. Currently I work out at home and am in the process of learning new habits to keep myself healthy. I am on short term disability now for a bout of major depression with paranoia.

      Sorry Beth. I have been slack at checking in to Daily Strength lately. Very happy to hear you enjoyed a lovely nights sleep. May you have more of the same. Rest contented. God bless you.

      From Pippie1164 July 21

      Way to go Beth. I'm trying to get off my psych meds in order to shed water pounds! I eat what I like which is pretty healthy give or take a few items, and this is the first week I didn't start with Monday morning exercises. I'm having a visit from Aunt Martha, you do know Aunt Martha don't you? She's a pistol that Martha there, likes to hang around just a bit too long, if ya know what I mean. At any rate the last time I weighed in was at 203. Our scale is about 10 pounds off going up. Press on, Christ's love and grace to you! P

      From Pippie1164 July 18

      I've been gearing up for a new business venture and haven't been on since last week! Thank you for your encouragement and support! It's good to know I'm appreciated! Love always, P PS. As the new lead female, you have a lot of leverage now. Don't think about having shoes to fill, you just be you. You'll have ups and downs, some will ask, "Who does she think she is?" but no matter, keep stepping and keep stepping high. Put your own spin on family matters and don't take time for pettiness. I recently told my whole family all about themselves and the way they've treated me over the past 4 decades, and now no one but one brother speaks to me. They all think I'm crazy and I know they are themselves one taco short of a fiesta plate collectively! But you know what B? I'm happy! For the first time in my life I'm saying what I mean and meaning what I say, and I no longer dance in the gray areas of confusion and doubletalk like Ba reckless Obama! I could shout for joy out loud if it weren't almost 1 am!!! LOL. Gone and kick it guuuuurl! P

      My deepest sympathy for your loss. Try not to allow the anger to continue, instead focus on the good memories. I'll keep you and your family in prayer. blessings, rev bry

    • Hug

      From Pippie1164 July 12

      Sweetheart, I've plateaued in the low to mid 200s for the past 2 months. Sometimes it affects whether or not I feel the oomph to exercise, but now, after a year and a half, exercise has become a craving for me much like chocolate pudding and ice cream sandwiches! Ask yourself, "Why do I want to lose weight?" And answer honestly. I used to want to lose weight to look good for my husband and daughter, which in and of itself is not a horrible goal. But if it's all about them, frankly, I'm going to crash and burn. I want to exercise because I like it, because I see friends at the gym and we connect, because it feels good, because I have a feeling of accomplishment, because I am healthy and people say I look strong, because God wants me to feel better than I did when I was wheezing while tying my shoes, and most importantly, I exercise because I can and because I want to be a kicking great great Grandma! I want to see my daughter, grandchildren, great grandchildren and great great grandchildren, Lord willing. I want to be playing frisbee, skateboarding, running, walking, biking and swimming until they put me down. I may go down, but I will never go out! Love you, MBarbie, LOL. P
