Shared "Mellow" Diary

Today I am going to try and make it a fullfilling one. The last 2 have been emotionally draining, not just b/c of the holidays, but b/c of other negative crap. I love the holidays. I have just been so tired lately yet I still try and make the best of everything and see the beauty of everything regardless.

Shared "Only the beginning" Diary

I remember when I was 11 and sent to a Children's Home. It was not good to be the new girl. But I stood my ground and got through it. I had more intelligence than the average 11 yr old and they quickly learned that I was not falling for the crap. Today, anyone would think it was a horrible place. The first time I was put in "lock-up" locked up in a room with a board to sleep on and in your pjs with one pillow and blanket. The night watchman woke me up in the middle of the night and told me to grab my pillow and blanket I was going to lock-up. I asked him why, was told to shut up. My room-mate started raising hell, she was so afraid for me, she was thinking things I was too young to think of. He told her to shut up or she was going too. Thank god I was just put in lock-up and nothing else.

I was there cause my mother had died. My dad was in prison for the murder. My sister and I were both at home. She ran next door to call police, back then they didn't believe you or plain didn't care. So, it took them awhile to get there. We ended up moving to FL with our paternal grandmother, which was a big mistake. More abuse. She put us in our first foster home. Two months later IN wanted us back for trial and we were flying back on Eastern Airlines. Well, wouldn't you know it, the plane from Atlanta to Indy had problems. We were circling the airport for two hours when they told us that the instruments were saying the nose gear was not locked. So, we were making an emergency landing. My sis and I were in the care of one of the flight attendants. She had us by an emergency exit. Told us how to open it and the guy behind us started arguing with her and saying he would come over our seats if the plane crashed. She was none too happy but we all had to buckle up and put our arms over our heads and bow down. We felt a big bump then another then the brakes. Thank God, we made it once again. Me, my sis and the guy behind us had to stay on board till everyone got off. Then a man in a suit came on and sat down beside that guy. He was handcuffed. Crying, saying he had to get his next plane, the man in the suit said you're not going anywhere. The stewardess wanted us to see that he was going to jail because he did something very wrong. I have never forgot that woman. Wonder where she is now. I liked her. I also saw and heard the first plane crash at DFW airport. I lived in Irving, TX for 14 yrs. I was married to an abusive man. Go figure. As soon as I was able to convince my family that I needed help, I packed up the kids and we got on a very long greyhound bus from Dallas to Indy. Culture Shock! I had moved to Irving when I was 18 and came back at 32. I didn't know this place anymore and I was around people who knew my mom and what happened once again. That was nerve racking.

I was working, going to college and raising two teenagers when I had my first heart attack. Two months before graduating. I was determined though and finshed the same year my daughter graduated High School.

Shared "the beginning" Diary

OK, so here we go... I'm so tired of being tired.  My weight has affected my health (bulging disks in back and arthritis issues).  I eat way too much at night and when I'm emotional (menstrual cycle, family or work... you name it!) and have now started to eat when bored as well.  My back and arthritic feet  combined with the weight have made it almost impossible to even walk now with comfort.  I've joined curves and although it's a slow go for now I'm dedicated to working out 3 times a week.  I have a recumbent bicycle (stationary) that I'll get on as soon as the back loosens up enough for me to peddle it (still not that bendable yet, but getting there - more every day!!!!)  HERE WE GO!!!

Shared "Keep me accountable" Diary

After I read individual discussions on how they thought about themselves and their body, I realized that somehow I continue to punish myself with my thoughts.  Thoughts that I had when I was a lot younger and living with my parents who abused me, physcially and emotionally.  I know there are tons of individuals that have walked this road.  Sometimes I do better then other times.  I have had to overcome a great deal to be even functional and sometimes I am just exhausted with the continual work that I have to do in order to stay functional.  The last two years I just gave up.  I was exhasted, work was hard and rewarding but I had a boss that just pushed to many buttons.  I got to the point where I couldn't get out of bed.  One morning, when I came in late, I was given a verbal warning about being late.  Right there I made my mind up to out on sick leave, because I knew there was something really wrong with me physcially.  I would get so tired and exhausted I could hardly see.  I just had to stop.  To make this story short, I did get some medical help, I was in thyroidtoxicosis, had chronic fatigue, emergency gall bladder surgery, had hormones out of wac, low in vitamin D.  Burnt out.  So I slept for a year and a half.  Lately I am trying to get my life back, I have made some really good progress, taking some classes on money management, a great class on peacemaking and have developed some terrific friends.  These lady's have become my family because quite succintley, my family sucks.  I don't want to go into that right now, but friendships of great ladys who are proactive in their life really has helped my in my self esteem and my desire to continue improving in my life.  Weight loss is mandatory, but I always seem to fail at it, I just give up after a while.  I know I have a love affair with food and have used it to nuture me.  I have been self nurtured to 250 lbs and I am only 5-4.  Heart Disease runs in my family and so I am really concerned for my self.  I have stopped talking to my earthly father, because the first thing he usually asks me is either- are you losing weight - or do you have a job.  He really has no concern or idea of what I have been through - he is emotionally not there,  he is a weak person, that feels better when he can torture others.  So I stopped talking to him.  Anyways I am glad to have read how other individuals feel about themselves, as I am very familiar with that self talk.  The first thing I did was to make a user name with the word 'thin' in it, rather than fat girl or something like that. The next thing I am going to do is to make a story board showing me and stating positive things about myself.  I am going to write down everthing that I eat and how much I excercise.  Okay so the world can see, so someone reading this can keep me accountable.  My goal for the next 6 months is to loose a couple of dress sizes and drop 25-30 lbs.

Shared "Just teen whining" Diary

I'm just an average, uninteresting girl. I know other people have been through so much, and I do care. I just tend to whine and being a drama-queen. Although I always tell the truth, people see me as a huge weight on their shoulders. I wish I could change myselfe, but I can't. So I keep on "whining" about my family, depression, mental disorder and my boyfriend.

Shared "tragic legal injustices" Diary
this is a story of all the people I have known who were treated unjust or unfair when it comes to our American legal system and its so called justices. ALRIGHT  I am not really to sure of where to start at I guess with one of the biggest injustices that is effecting my daily life . So the first story starts off about my husband my true life prince charming . We met 2 years ago and for over a  year we never even met only talked on the phone and wrote letters to each other . Why because he is incarcerated at lansing correctional facility.  He has been incarcerated since 1994 for an aggravated armed robbery an muder case. Which will be 15 years coming this fall now here is the kick side to all of this and that is that my husband is now only 34 years old. which put him at the tender age of 16 when this crime was committed . now I personaly believe that the man has paid for his crime .  I mean  come on people now adays that committed this same crime with everything mirrored 100 % that person would only recieve a 5 to 10 year sentence at the most but since he was tried and convicted under old laws he is still paying for his crime and will be for another 5 to 10 years atleast. please respond with your insights and opinions because I would truely like to know if others see this as injust or not
