Guys, I need motivation and hugs!

Original post by dm24angel

I normally dont put myself out there and complain, but I feel like its all falling apart!

Im on very very thin ice at work, due to being out sick a LOT lately, and its making mme a nervous wreck.

Our money situation is SO bad. We had the home phone shut off to save money and some little adjustments but with 5 months till the wedding, we still need over $10K and we wont even MAKE that amount in that time

I also need to lose at least 30 more lbs...at least 15 to FIT into my wedding dress which at this point is too small and only have 4 months till 1st fitting...I cannot stop eating...the stress is making me eat, and Im weak and cant seem to get my dumb fat a** to the gym!

Please...motivate me, tell me it will work out...something!

p.s On top of it, we have stupid Pre-cana tonight, just what I want to do!

Where do you live? Maybe one of us will live close enough to be a walking buddy. I usually am more motivated when I have someone to do things with.


I'm in Lindenhurst

Hmmmm...I'm in Massapequa. I work in the city and get home around 6:30. If you want to start a walking regime, I'd be willing to join! God knows I could shed a few pounds.

I'd have to say that we all go thru some type of stress with all of this planning, so don't be so hard on yourself. Keep yours hopes up.

you poor thing!!!!!!

i think that the stress of the wedding is really starting to get to you, but heathers idea about using the money from the wedding is a great one! it's no consellation i'm sure but it'll work out in the end i'm sure!!

as for the weight loss thing, i can def feel your pain. sometimes i just can't snap myself out of it sometimes...

i know it sucks to say it, but no one can do if for you. you have to do it yourself...but we'll always be here whenever you want to vent or have an accomplishment...

good luck and try not to stress so much!!!!

whatever you eat in private you wear in public.




I love that quote. Yes that's my new mantra.

I'm so sorry you are stressed about all of this right now. My FI and I hit quite a bit of a financial roadblock also. I have given up certain 'pleasures' in life as well as FI.
Cell phone - gone (is not a necessity for me)
Smoking -working to cut down big time
Clipping coupons for shopping


IF anyone would like to get together for motivational walks, I am in Franklin Square (a block away from the SandCastle). We can always meet at a park (I just did a 3 mile walk for ALS at Eisenhower park).
Walking relieves stress and having friends to talk to while you are doing it will also help!
