I am sorry it took me so long to get to this video. You are so so wonderful. You just gave voice to so much of what I am feeling. Don't you EVER be afraid to share your thoughts and feelings. You come from a place of love and have a right to your opinion. It may not fit for everyone but there are many out there who may need to hear those exact words at that exact moment. This community will be worthless if we have to start censoring ourselves and start speaking only the "party line".
If you see something you don't like, you can send the person a private message. I do it all the time. Remember, they are your videos and your journey. Say what you want and don't censor yourself. Everyone has a different path to recovery and no one is the only right way. Also...I just went thru the f-its also. I really think its just this time of year. Sugar fuels mine so I had to cut it out.
haha you make me laugh! A "funk" is definitely different than a "depression" with a funk i think getting out and doing something is the best idea! and surrounding yourself with people who make you laugh and make you have fun! :)
I say the fact that you CAN feel is healing! In my opinion I used to numb myself with food and now dealing with "feelings" and "ups and downs" is a NEW skill set and so IT'S OKAY to have this experience(in my opinion). I mean pre-wls...it was all about physicial weight and now that we're removing that there are other "weights" that we now come face to face with. I think it's AWESOME you can feel! RIDE that rollercoaster because it's progress to even be aware!
I loved the video! I like the real deal...no faking for me please...if you feel motivating or not; you're still a motivation!! Enjoy hubby and those turnips...TURNIPS...very different!!
Lot of people get in a funk this time of year. The dreary weather doesn't help. I've been missing your vlogs recently. Up or down - I like hearing from you. My VSG is set for this Wednesday, 1/25, & I am both excited & anxious. Enjoy having your husband back from his travels.
I'm right there with you on this "funk". I hate it. Yes, its the time of year, but its like something strange going on on YT too. LOL We must have all "youtubeitis". Miss you videos, so get to feeling better, so you can help me feel better. LOL Hugs, Robin
(((hugs)) you're funny Sally in the midst of the ups and downs.. I see you went to your happy place with the veggies! You'll be ok after awhile.. as they say: this too shall pass!
I hate January and February, trees are all brown, roadsides are all grey/brown yuk and reflect my mood. Hard to chase the blues away but hey I found sweet potatoes cooked in the microwave and drizzled with cheese - yum!! Funny can now find comfort in healthy food lol. Husband converted and asking for it! Even the grandchildren converted. Hope you feel better soon and maybe being down makes us appreciate being up. You take care cos we all love ya xx
It's even wintry here today. Generally, unlike many people, cloudy weather doesn't put me in much of a funk because it takes me back to childhood. When we lived in the Midwest, my Dad used to get us all excited that it was going to snow--which meant fun and frolic and nostalgia. Now there is lots of sun where I live so the dreary days we get don't phase me. When I'm down, I can feel better exercising like you said or maybe watching a movie, going grocery shopping, or maybe watching youtube!
Sally! The only way you will not be here on any given week is if you make that choice, not me. Hopefully your squash, fennel and turnip creation will lift your spirits. I hate bad weather and it can bring me down for a second. You are a voice of wisdom and support. I bet if you spoke your mind on what you see as negative or disagree with you would be just as wise and supportive. Life is not about being safe or is it? Happy funk Monday! ;-)
WE!!! all get in a FUNK!! girl every one is part of up's and down's keep rocken YOU yes do something silly goose love love you and distractions are wonderful...keep smiling you gave it to me and I give it right back my friend...love and smiles...love rosemary
Oh Sally, how you make me smile! You are such a fun person! I think you hit the nail on the head when you said get up & do something. I get into such a funk when stuck indoors all the time. When I (and my hubby) get up & out, our moods change. Hhmm could it partly be Seasonal Affective Disorder? lol So get active & get sunlight so we can grow & be happy! Thank you for this video. It wasn't terrible. I hope you are or will be feeling UP again real soon!
hey mrs Sally !! your rite is that weather -But DONT ever keep your MOUTH shut -let your opinion be KNOWN -YOU might HELP Someone -and if someone has something NEG to say -flip um the BIRD !!!
Bruce Springsteen gets me fired up, too.
