I just read this thread for the first time. I know that you are in school and I was reading this thread to find some inspiration to go back to college.

Anyway, about your ex, has he filed yet for divorce? You will find some closure when he does. Can you not file? File and request that he pay for it. Print out all of the stuff that you find on the computer. You will feel better once you take matters into your own hands, which I am about to do in regards to my education.

thanks Rebecca i due to some religious reasons, will not be the one to file, trust me though he'll file because he keeps saying "do i want a divorce" i tell him yes. he has too many other "women" in his life now for me to even think about getting back.

Anyway YES you can do the college thing. I never thought i would be doing it but i'm done with my prereq's for the nursing program! and in January Lord willing, will be starting the RN program

i came on here tonight to type/say somethign and darn it i forgot it OH YEAH, i got my 900$ stimulus check GOD do i wish i could have had it and spent it on me and the kids but i owed my parents 600 and then the 300 i had to pay back to them for this months mortgage. I had my bathroom remodeled completely and it only cost me 600 bucks! my friend did all the tile ripped a wall out then my dad painted awww its great. So i couldnt even enjoy the darn money so now i pray and believe that i'll pass my math and chem class and then in August with my financial aid i'm going down to visit Julie in SanDiego and have fun with the kids in seaworld well i'm off to do my treadmill

Deb, just think. Soon you'll have that degree. I know your weight loss isn't speedy, but I think you've really done an awesome job losing. By the time you get your RN degree, you'll be slim and richer. Sounds like things are looking up for you. Glad to hear your tests came out good.

I don't know how you can take that 115 degrees. My mom and brother live in Phx and keep wanting me to move out there. This New Yorker couldn't take those summers, much less work out on a treadmill (I know you do it inside, but just the thought of 115 outside, man)! I know last time I was out there I had a bottle of water with me constantly and that was in May.

Keep up the good work. I like reading your blogs.

Default I'm just getting back to this thread

Oh I'm really excited about your future Deborah. I know that it sucks now. I am bummed out right now cuz my youngest (14, boy) has decided to stay back in OK with his dad. I knew that this day would come but really thought he would be with me for one more yr. I know now that I am "cleared" for take off to do the things in life that I have put off doing, such as going back to college.

I am really glad Deborah that you passed your math class.

Rebecca

wow so i just read that someone may think i'm using this board as a distraction to not do the brain work it takes to deal with food addiction because i post on almost everyone's thread. Hmmmm sorry seriously if you feel that i am posting "too much support" let me know Cause trust me, as a full time nursing student and a newly single mom of 3 i can think of way more other things to do then "distract" myself with TT. I love giving and getting support here but if i'm posting too much let me know and i will stop and just be a lurker

also is grazing on healthy food bad? honestly i dont know if it is then maybe i need to chew more gum
