Sherry's weightloss journey

I am feeling a little better today, I had a hard time yesterday with breathing and I gained like 17 lbs since I have been on Pain meds , so last night I stopped the meds and lost 4 lbs this morning of fluid , wth ... I was miserable most of the night and didn't get to sleep til 3 am .. I am going to go back on the midol and see if it will help me get thru til I go to the hospital ugh I am the only person I know gains when they are sick ..

 I went to bed last night with terrible rain and woke up this morning with snow and ice everywhere ... where is summer oh summer where art thou...

This comment was left for me yesterday on My I have a rant entry. I have to respond I am just like that

 Now on a happier note : Thank all of you for the great comments and birthday wishes for baby girl .. she is loving that phone..I think I may of over did it this last weekend and that is why I am having a hard time getting my getty up to go ...

With the fluid retention that I am having, I really can't judge my progress so what I am going to do it stay on plan , watch what I eat as closely as I can, and get as much exercise that I can tolerate and wait for this phase of my journey to be over.. there is no since in crying over spilt milk or giving up when your body is not cooperating if your mind is in the game , sometimes the body is slow to follow so keep plugging along and you will get there .

  I have often made comments about kids standing in shopping carts too.  I usually speak directly to the kid...in a way that the parent can hear...and say something like "Oh sweetie, be careful, you don't want to fall out of the cart and hit your head!" and the mother will usually pick up on it.  I HAVE had one mom seem annoyed, but I couldn't tell if she was annoyed at me for saying something...or annoyed at the kid for not sitting down!  So, I don't think it's wrong at all.  Sometimes parents with young kids get overwhelmed and don't realize what's going on in that moment.
  
  I KNOW you are so miserable about not feeling well!!!  I reallu hope you can go in the hospital and get this all taken care of COMPLETELY so you can go on with your life and ENJOY and FEEL GOOD!!!!

  I am glad you are feeling somewhat better today.  You handled yourself fine in the 'rant' matter.  Sometimes the direct approach these days can get yourself in legal trouble.  I don't see how anyone could just walk by and do nothing when a child is at risk or in danger.  I would have spoke directly to the lady though at any rate.  I'm glad you are one to do something and not ignore it.  
  Hope you have a pain free week,

  I guess I'm fortunate they didn't read the winners of the CAT award on Monday, because winners-b-them.

  First time I'm here, but being that I'm a regular reader of Amanda and not yours I'm just going to take a stab that she felt you could have went about it differently, and kinder. I read your post and you weren't direct to the mother, instead did it in more of a passive agressive manner  I guess my thoughts are is you could have gently went up to the mother and said something to the manner of what you had witnessed in the past of the little 18 month old and that you'd hate to have that happen to her and her child.  I'm guilty of being passive aggressive as much as the next person and it seems that's what you were being, since you wrote you were saying it "loudly" to your dad vs saying it directly to the mother.
  
  We never know what another person's going through, what their day's been like, etc. Did it mean that Mom wanted something bad to happen to her child, most likely not...but she could have simply been having a horrible day (you remember I'm sure what life was like with toddlers not always peaceful or stress-less and simply put sometimes you just do what you can to get through and sometimes your brain is fried, especially in WalMart!!).
  
  Just a different perspective. Sometimes we don't know what others are dealing with and when someone's making comments towards us vs to us, it could be what breaks someone for the day.
