  • I just need to get this off my chest

    This week has been one of the crapiest ive had in a long time.

    1. I applied for a job, got an interview and on interview day I got a call from them saying, "sorry, dont come were not hiring anymore". I cried.

    2. I applied for a Phlebotomy program in March. I never heard anything back and was bummed I didnt get it. I got a letter in the mail today from the post office saying "sorry for the delay your letter got lost" It was my acceptance letter. Dated April 2nd. I called....and of course its too late. I cried.

    3. My great Grandfather (72) had some hemoroids removed and started profusely bleeding and had to take him to hospital. 8 hours later they still cant get it to stop "we cant figure out where to put a tourniquet". I cried.



    I soooooooo wanted to cheat and eat some comfort foods but I didnt, and I realized comfort food is bogus. It wouldent have made me feel any better in the long run. I would have felt like crap for cheating.

    All in all I feel stronger having gone through all this crap AND stickng to atkins.

      Oh that is a rubbish week.

      Well done for sticking at it, i am one of those people that will run to food at the sign of stress too..hence why i am in the mess i am now!

      You deserve a huge pat on the back, you should be very proud of yourself.

      Hope you great-grandfather is on the mend soon

                    Well done, sb21!
                    You're breaking habits and training yourself well for the future. It's tough in the moment, but these moments when you chose the harder, better path will yield rewards now and in years to come.
