Hey Shell!
I saw your post on the LR and raced right over here - I am so sorry that you are feeling a little down in the dumps at the moment!
You have so much to be proud of yourself for, and even if you are having an off day or week or month or whatever, you still have all that to fall back on because you have done really well for yourself and you shouldn't forget that! We are all so inspired by the work you have put in, no matter the results if they sway a little bit in the numbers!
The fact is, going to the gym 5 times a week is still such a great accomplishment that most people WISH they could do! So try not to take away from things you ARE doing! **hugs**

As for the vericose veins, I am really sorry to hear they are giving you problems. I haven't had any myself, but a neighbour had them and I remember how much they bothered her so I do feel for ya. I just told Adrian you were having pain from them, and his mum had them... He said you'll probably feel a lot better about everything if you get them removed and they aren't hurting you anymore... I hope that you can get them lasered out and your insurance will cover it for you.

I have been talking with my nutritionist about processed foods and she has really been telling me to stay away from them, but I have been having more of them than I like as well.. It is a struggle to make fresh food all the time, so I feel ya there!

But I'll be here, whenever you need *anything*... I'll start checking back in for your reports and you know you can eMail me anytime you want to talk about anything, or whatever.

Let us know what your goals are, maybe and we'll just keep harassing you until the effort of getting there is less irritating than dealing with nagging if you don't? Hee hee.

Chin up Charlie, we're all here for you and I know that you will be able to do as well as you want to.. 'cause we've seen you do it before!

**major hugs**
Luv Steph
