This is totally off topic, but I am really, really struggling today (and for the last few days in general). I am having a much harder time then I thought with bf moving out :(


I am having a hard time getting out of bed lately. Typically this time of year is bad for me to begin with, but throwing all the drama in the mix and I don't know how I'm going to make it through. I have been

Hugs!! You just wrote my post, down to the bf moving out.

Hang in there. Have you tried taking Vitamin D supplements? I have just started doing that and I think it helps. I don't know if you've ever experienced November on the West Coast (BC) but we've had five days without rain this month. It's only half light most of the days due to heavy cloud and rain. So miserable!!

I don't care about eating right either and I think taping my mouth shut is the only thing that will help me in that regard at the moment ;)

I am planning to buy a three month rec center pass when bf has moved and I am going to go the weight centre, drop in fitness and aquafit classes. I have all the schedules taped to my fridge already.

I am also going to hang my bikini and the clothes I want to fit into on my wall so that I see them every day. I find my job very stressful too because it is enough work for two people full time to do it all...so I eat...

I've also found books to read that I am enjoying so I am trying to make special time to read. It's a treat.

Hi! I just wanted to pass along some advice a crazy friend gave me when I was going through my divorce years ago, was to 'fake it til you mean it'.

First, I just wanted to thank everyone for their responses. You have no idea how much it meant to me, especially since I was trying really hard not to cry at the office yesterday (not even sure why . . . I just felt like crying). BF is currently looking for an apartment. Its tough though because he has the two dogs and doesn't want to commit to a full lease (if he goes to the police academy he will be gone for 5 months) so he is limited. I think the sooner he goes, the better for both of us. I need to find myself again and hopefully our relationship will make it through this,
