track with my food for the day... woo hoo i will take it....and bf was offically offered the new job so thats a good thing..... workout was a lil iffy this morning nothing too strenuous but thats ok might fit in the fitness center this afternoon after i work on a paper for school... work is still really shakey with all of the layoffs... hearing not so good things i have a meeting tomorrow so we will go from there.... had therapy yesterday ( seriously suggest it to anyone who struggle with emotional issues, food issues anything) ... and i did spent a good deal of the time crying mostly due to stress and feeling overwhelmed but my therapist helped me be able to step back and see what are the pressing issues and how to cope ... so i am feeling a lil more centered today which is&nbsp; a good thing... hope everyone is doing wel</FONT></P> <P><FONT color=#ffcc66>Kel</FONT></P> <DIV></DIV></DIV> <a

taking control and looking to be at 130 by christmast time to get it together again.... ugh then everything is crazy i got to work after an extremely stressful morning trying to get things accomplished and when i get here the phone rings and its my boss (well former boss) who's position was eliminated last week... he was asking me how i was doing and we talked a bit about things he started to get all choked up then i was choked up and crying ugh..... its so crappy... lots of people were eliminated.... its just not good.... i spent the first half of the day just trying to process everything.... i am hoping to get a walk in at the indoor track on my dinner break just to relax a lil.... things feel all over right now.... but food is not the answer and i am going to get back in control of my eating... bc then i will be better all over.... tracked all my points for the day and hopefully will manage my evening munchies.... deep breaths .... just breathe</FONT></P> <P><FONT

http://www.extrapounds.com/blog/kellebelle02/comments/369987/just-blah-blah-and-more-blah <DIV style="MARGIN-TOP: 5px"> <P>&nbsp;</P> <DIV>Seriously maybe its raging hormones but yesterday i had two mini breakdowns.... i was doing very well with visiting with family all day long ... then when we were getting ready to leave my mom was like i owe you a check (they are helping pay for school this semester).... i said ok we can stop at the house... she then just keeps telling everyone how she is giving me this check and it just bothers me bc to me it sounds like she is annoyed that i cant do this all on my own.... im trying but paying for school out of pocket when you only make $24,000 a year and have to pay bills, rent and everything else is not easy u know.... then she was just on my case about finding a better paying job when i am done school.... its the goal u know... and i said something like only 24 weeks today thank goodness.... and she was like your glad about aboue me.... i wanted to be like i know i can be difficult but i am the one thats doing all the work and working full time and going to an internship 16 hoursa week and carrying 16 credits ....ARGGGG ... so this led to me leaving and crying in the car with poor bf who is stressed the way it is bc he is resigning on monday from his job.... blah right.... so i got it together...... then as i am falling asleep last night i just felt fat and inadequate like i cant win with anyone... i am still struggling about my boss being let go and i just felt like crap.... and family saying how good i looked still feels wierd at times.... so it was just an emotional day .... tom is looming too... now i am at work and i have a lot to do but i just feel like i dont know where to starts.... time for some deep breaths and some clarity hopefully </DIV> <DIV>i did run for 42 minutes this morning and that felt good so thats a good thing</DIV> <DIV>hope everyone is having a good weekend</DIV> <DIV>Kel</DIV></DIV> <a
