In sooper seekrit news, one of my gal pals is pregnant. She has 2 year old twin boys, for which she underwent two rounds of IVF and an ectopic pregancy that took out one of her fallopian tubes. She hasn't had a period in 8 years. Suddenly, the OTC tests are all telling her she's having a baby.
Whenever no one is in earshot, I call her "Mary" and say things like, "it's the season for miracles, ya know!"
Fortunately, we know each other well enough and I impressed upon her that I was hoping for the best possible news from the doctor, that she hasn't killed me for this. Yet.
Love those shoes, Teppy!
I am sick and therefore posting from my couch.
Also watching 100 Funniest movies and they're on Spinal Tap with the "These go to 11."
Laura, you'll only consume a mix of water, maple syrup, lemon, and cayenne pepper for a whole month?
I've read about that recently. I don't think I could actually do it though, even for just a week or two.
My ex-coworker did it for about a week. I know I couldn't. I like the texture of food too much.
I lost most of my poundage the reccomended way-eating mostly healthy stuff and lots of excersise-though I don't think it would have worked as well if I hadn't lost a noticable amount being depressed. Once I came out of it and started to feel better, I'd lost 6 pounds and decided to keep going. The working out part also helps when the depression starts to creep back in.

Man, I wish this could work for me. Sadly, I eat when I'm sad. And when I'm happy. And, you know, the rest of the time.
That's a very cool teapot. I liked the $16.00 one on the second page -- black on the outside and green on the inside. Of course, who knows what it looks like in person.
Did I confess the horrible thing I did here?
I cracked and ruined the teapot that my mother gave me. You know, the lovely ceramic teapot from Japan that came with beautiful teacups and which is now completely useless. (And I know that I will never be able to afford to replace it.)
Depression means an open season on food to me, too. I never seem to get very far on fasts because my brain runs out of sugar and I become a cranky person with headaches.
I also lose weight when depressed. And the exercising does help in keeping both the pounds and the depression at bay - one of the many reasons why I take a run on my lunch break. Mmmm, sun.
Running a lot also means I can't fast. I fast, I can't run, and I get mega-cranky.
Chewing just seems like such an effort when I'm really upset. Food just makes me feel ill.
I don't run, but I will do sit-ups, push ups, and now box (Mr. Jane bought me a bag after I put my fist through a window). I will take the dogs on long walks or dance for cardio.
