Bad day - trying to pull it together

[formerjerseygirl]

I have been having some major ups and downs over the last 19 clean days.  Today is a down moment.  I am just so lethargic and my brain feels like it is in a fog.  I cannot seem to focus.  My body aches.  I have eaten brownies and doritos out of depression.  3 diet cokes because I am tired and of course it has all made me feel worse.  HaHa...brownes, doritos and DIET cokes...at least I can laugh at myself.  We are taking our kids to a big school event/dance tonight and I need to get myself together.  Just don't know what to do.

  Hey Jersey!!
    Lori from Detroit here saying congrats on 19 days!!! Girl, don't beat yourself up over that food! Your keepin somethin down which is more than I can say-I'm tapering. Blahhhhhh. But, it's workin and were both goin for the gold here.
    Ya know, I didn't wanna leave my house or have company or ANYTHING until I found this forum, and the past three days I let my fella come by and watch movies, went for a drive, saw my best friends new apartment(Haha I saw your post about watchin the 'Shore"-I love that ridiculous show!! My best friend will watch it with me but not my guy-whatever), and today just cleaned some stuff up, did laundry, ect.
   Getting out is good! I know your dreading the social bussiness of this school event, but ya might suprise yourself. It might be just what ya need to be out and about and watchin your kids do whatever theyre up to. I was socially paralyzed yesterday--had to meet my best friends roomates and all, thought I would come accross as completely nuts-but people aren't so bad. Generally theyre more wrapped up in theyre own stuff to worry about what you or I is doin, ya know?
   Were the ones that think were goin mad-I don't think everyone else sees us like that at all.
   Sooo, go to the school thing. You got 19 days under your belt and ya sound like a tough cookie. I think your doing great, for what its worth! Keep up the good job lady!
   Lots of Love and Luck from The "D", Lori
