Down a pound today, but I had a hot dog attack tonight, so we'll see if it holds.

Pam - My prayers are with you and Kelsey. I agree that she'll need counceling when she gets home. I'm sure for both of you that 2 weeks won't pass fast enough.
Missy - I love your picture. Stay as positive as you are now. Thank you for letting us share this journey with you. It's such an inspiration. God Bless!
Well it definately fall here. It's cold and rainy and just plain icky. I get stiff and depressed this time of year (Seasonal Affective Disorder). After reading everyones post and hearing how positive everyone is with their troubles I have decided to approach this year different. Instead of letting it get to me I'm going to try and stay active and involved with things around me. "One Day at a Time"
Well I'm off to make up this weeks menu. Need to get it done now because DH & I have a quilt class this morning.
Hang in there everyone - have a great day!
God Bless!

There is a security camera in the elevator so it was all recorded. They have not found the man yet. She is frightened of what the other Koreans in the building will think of her once the man is apprehended and put in prison. She is afraid to go back to her apartment. She also feels bad that she will be the reason that this man goes to prison. I feel so helpless because she is on the other side of the world and I can't just go to her and comfort her. Thankfully, she comes home in 2 weeks. Kelsey is 25. Thank you for your prayers.

Good morning, all!
Pam, I am praying for you and Kelsey. I agree she needs professional counseling, no matter what she says. If expense is an issue, call your local university, they usually have free group counseling through the Psychology department. It will help her immensely to be in a group of others dealing with the same fears and emotions.
I am down 2 of the 7 fluid pounds, very good. I feel better this morning, this was my first night with the cpap and I don't ache as much today.
Today I will cut out a quilt for a friend who has brain cancer. This will be a quick quilt as she needs it quickly.
I hope to go on a picnic today to the lake with dh. We are taking a short ride to enjoy the scenery today. I hope to walk (slowly) along the lake shore.

Kelsey was not raped. He only touched her and pushed himself against her. I had to look up the definition of sexual assault to make sure I used the right word. It has a very broad definition. I did explain to her that it is in no way her fault. Thank you for praying for her.

I was thinking -- who is supplying all the food?? And where is the money coming from to pay for it all?? and when she can't get out of bed because of that load, who cooks and brings it to her?? in AA they call that enabling. And isn't Dr OZ also enabling by having her on and get publicity?? Just a thought -- maybe I'm way of base -- Mim
Well I saw her on u-tube after reading it here.Her and that other one,both want to be the fattest broad around.But they are selfish,cause they end up in a bed not going anywhere.Just looking out a window wishing they could.Here we are and most people,trying and fighting for our lives to be healthier and slimmer,and they want to be 1000 pounds?Ya their selfish and could give a crap about those kids.I never had children and would of loved to.And they shell them out and can't take care of themselves,let alone those poor kids.Selfish

I agree with you.No one wants to be that heavy & a body will only carry that load for so long.I'm surely no expert,or wouldn't be posting here.
A friend asked a question about this, wondering why this would be on TV......when she needs help big time ,for yrs to get some wt off. Lots of questions about the subject,few answers.

thank you, pam. i'm glad for her sake she was not raped, and i'm glad, too , that you are understanding and supportive. kelsey is very fortunate to have your love and support. the attack may still have some very similar repercussions to a rape, so it would still be very important for her to get whatever amount of counseling she needs. i'm not trying to be an alarmist, but it still is a very disturbing situation for her to deal with. we will all keep her in our hearts, thoughts and prayers.

nancia,
I'm so new at quilting that I don't have a good answer. You know the look you want. Test out the alternatives in small pieces and you'll be able to decide.
When are you coming to Florida, and what part. This state is huge. There are seasonal changes in some parts. You will see a variety of temperatures in the winter months.

I will ride to the lake in the car, and probably take the wheelchair for my walk. They have paved paths for folks like me that need an even surface.
