Has anyone successfully weaned themselves
Done with denial. I've been addicted the last 2 years to phentermine. It has helped me lose weight and control my compulsive eating. It makes me feel like food doesn't matter. But, if I stop taking the pills, the urge to binge comes back and sudden cravings for bad food take over my mind. I fear gaining back the lost weight despite the vigorous exercise.
Has anyone here successfully taken themselves off diet pills? I need to hear your story!
Have you ever successfully rehomed an indoor-
And of course this is assuming you were honest with potential adopters, and told them the cat was a mental-case that would only use the box about 40-50% of the time. Or do you feel a cat such as this (otherwise a sweet & beautiful purebred) is "un-adoptable" and should be put down?
All feedback welcome, as this is a decision I'm facing!
I get it...really bad in January.
I've been on medications (awful awful side effects like even worsening fatigue and weight gain) and tried the lights. Nothing works for me except getting outside for longer than a few minutes at a time and that is so hard to do when everything is covered in ice and it's freezing cold with crazy winds. I bottom out in the first week of February, feeling totally crappy about how I look and feel, and swear I'm gonna leave New England for good, but I never do. Then the days gradually start to get longer and I feel a little better with each passing day.
Back when I lived in another state, the mall was very close by and I would go walking there almost every day during the winter, but where I am now it is at least 1/2 hour away and just not worth the gas. The more rural a person is, I think the worse the depression can get.
It is so frustrating!
I had one in November.
I wanted a hysterectomy because I've struggled with super-painful periods my whole life. As I've gotten older (almost 51 now) my periods had gotten very heavy and clot-filled. The doctor said that a hysterectomy would be overkill, since I'm likely going to be entering menopause soon, anyway.
The docs have experimented with different kinds/methods of BCPs and hormones over the past 8 years, and I was fed up. They had given me some pills in May that caused me to constantly bleed up until the day I had my procedure. I just had additional pain and bleeding at period time.
On the day of surgery I was 3 weeks into what would have been my normal cycle. I bled/shed for about 4 weeks after the procedure. So far I've had no bleeding since, so I have passed one period and I am kind of anxious to see if I have anything this month. I hope not! (I hope I don't jinx it by talking about it! ;-) )
I think it's worth a try. Everyone is different, but it's a very quick recovery and you can always have a hysterectomy if you don't get a good result.
Good luck to you!
Is this for 1 month? Just January 2007?

me - I begin in January, right after Christmas
On January 21st and thereafter, a check is not going to
magically appear in your mailbox each month to help out. Please don't rely on that!
I turned 47 in November.... thanks!

Season 6 starts mid-January - the 15th maybe? (sm)
There have been commercials on FOX but cannot recall the date - you can watch the trailer at FOX and the date is probably there also but couldn't find on my quick search. I'm having serious withdrawal myself :(
Her name was Meredith Emerson, and it was just last January that she was killed.
I know the story very well, and even hiked in memory of her a few weeks after she was killed. Her murder caused great grief along the entire 2100+ miles of the trail, and all of us who love the trail know full well what can happen out there.
The trail community is very difficult to explain to people who haven't experienced it. Yes, people have been killed on the Appalachian Trail, probably about a dozen or so in the over 70 years that the trail has been open. Given the thousands who walk all or part of the trail each year, it is statistically safer on the trail than in "civilization". You are correct, however, that hikers are more in danger than the people who pick them up. The most dangerous places on the trail are at the trailheads and near roads where people pretend to help hikers and then do harm. That is why I pick up hikers, because they are more afraid of me than I am of them. Also, there's quite a bit of communication that goes up and down the trail, and we do keep track of people as they travel. It's very likely that when I pick someone up near the trail, I've heard about their trip. In hiker slang, people who help hikers are called trail angels. It's a different situation. It's not 100% safe, but I choose not to cower at home. I hike the A.T. and other trails, usually with friends, sometimes alone. I tell my family, that if harm should come to me, either through accident or evil, they should remember that I go into the woods because I love it, and should I die there, they should remember that I loved it too much to stay away.
The Appalachian Trail is not the lawless, dangerous passageway that so many people think it is. More times than I can count, I've been asked about the dangers of the trail. Usually I just shrug and smile. It's not worth the argument, because I can't change the minds of people who don't know. On the other hand, I don't want to change minds. If I did, there'd be traffic jams on the trail, and it wouldn't be fun anymore.
Okay, it's the middle of November, where's Jericho?? sm
Yes, I looked online but couldn't find any chatter about it except I guess the writer's strike may be the cause for the delay in airing the new season. I've been waiting very patiently.... Anyone know when we might expect to see it air??
Good for you! I did it back in November - sm
I have a lot of gray poking out here and there and my hair was color treated (streaks of blonde) but they told me if I had it colored all one color, they would accept it so I did.
My hair grows way too fast and I went from about 1 to 1.5 inches long to very very long in just two years. They took off a 14 inch pony and I still had a good 2-3 inches of hair left.
It's a good cause and a good reason for cutting the hair!
My favorite Christmas treat is January 2. lol. be glad when it is over.

About 60 and it has been our coldest January in like 28 years. My neighboring town got

Lots of shows air repeats after November
sweeps. Lots of holiday shows, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, etc. are on. Some new shows start in January. Then you have February sweeps! Yay!
November 4.....pushed back this year I think - sm
it was today in Canada, but next Sunday (11-4) in the U.S.
Starting the first week in November, so tomorrow
there are two radio stations in town that plays Christmas music 24/7. I like Christmas music, but I think it's a little early to listen to it all day every day. Although, my daughter watches Christmas videos all year round.
all I can say......I visited Seattle in November.....YUCK!! sm
What a dismal dreery environment. I could never ever live there......
In Huntsville, Alabama there was a horrible accident here in November where a school bus went off an
Four students were killed, and many were injured. Those ignorant people in that hate group from Kansas were here protesting at the funerals of those poor children who were killed. The hate group had signs saying that God killed their children to punish them for not being good parents.
