jsfantome's Journal, 25 July 2013

I love this site for so many reasons! I sooooo appreciate all of your kindness and support, while I work my way thru the craziness of depression, grief and LIFE! Getting back to a place I feel mentally 'strong'...and I am so grateful to the friends here who have just lovingly received me back here, with no judgement! You guys ROCK!

Most of my journal entries are for me to keep track of what's going on in my life at any given point - so if I run into an issue - I can look back and learn from it.

It dawned on me yesterday that these past few years have been a successful training ground on changing my life to a low carb lifestyle. Just found myself in a random conversation w/ someone at the church office, who was asking questions about making changes. Before I knew it, I had jumped in - helped explain some misunderstandings - and encouraged them w/ all the pointers I have come to learn about for myself. YUP! It's all starting to stick!!

Had a great day yesterday - in store for another today. Been crazy busy, (when has my life not been!) - but that's ok... I am happy to be home and happy to be busy!

Much Love - Make the most of another Glorious Day!!!

Hi Paula, we are so happy to have you back on FS. You were/are one of the foundations of FS for me, have been my buddy for as long as I can remember and always had something wise to add, some thought, some comment, to make us think. I am sorry you are still working through 'stuff' but as I myself realize, there will always be 'stuff'. Life is crazy. Someone once told me if I wanted a good laugh, tell God my plans and stand back and see what happens. Life is challenging. It can also be filled with love and wisdom and laughter thankfully to balance the tougher times. Glad the low carb lifestyle has 'stuck' with you. I too believe that it is the right path, for me at least. I have added a lot more non low carb foods lately, experimenting with adding in more fruit and the odd bread/bun but low carb is my cornerstone go-to if you will. Sorry if this is too long, I am gabby this morning :)

You ROCK right back with all your support & caring, and to ditto what Isabel said, we're so happy & fortunate to have you back! I was just thinking this morning about how great this site is in so many ways, offering venues for support, concern, uncertainties, shared experiences, etc. But, I do sometimes wonder though what happens to those who go away. Again, I'm just glad you're back & happy the low carb lifestyle works so well for you. That's what its all about isn't it... finding our own way on our journey. xoxox

I couldn't add anything to what the other two ladies have offered. You have always been a mentor to so many of us and for that we are eternally grateful. As far as your journal, I think many of us write to clear our hearts and minds of things that occur day-to-day. Like you, I do not expect anyone to respond to my "text thinking" but occasionally it is nice to know that someone is reading and wanting to help. FatSecret offers such a comaraderie/support factor that can't be found elsewhere. There are things that I would hesitate to tell my best friend or sisters but sometimes I just open it all up at FS. This is the one place that I truly believe that "unconditional love" exists all of the time. Glad to hear that yesterday went well and with your positive attitude, today will surely be likewise. Hugs!
