"All you have to do is try."

My favorite cliche. Hanging up on my laundry room wall. If you try, that's a big, giant, step you get to applaud with your favorite fancy.

It doesn't matter what it is: feeling good, smoking, not smoking, dentists, getting out of bed, sleeping, cleaning up dog/cat residue, showing up for work, showing up and being social. You

The constant in diabetes is change. I like that.

Finding good real estate sucks. I think I've got a spot for even just one shot of Lantus, then BAM! big, giant, ugly bruise and I'm wincing in pain for 20 minutes afterward.

I have the exact same things happen to me, except I also haven't figured out how to keep the site in when I put it on my bum(laugh),funny word, I get a kick out of saying it!
Or when I put it on my thigh...I keep ripping it out when I go to the bathroom.Guess that comes with practice..

I'm really sorry that your stress is at such a level. We all have moments of stress but your's is definitely more complicated. You do need to take care of yourself as we'd like you to be around for awhile.
I have no advice, just wishes that it will be better, soon.

Okay, you smoked again. That doesn't matter. What matters is that you quit again!!! And that you didn't like smoking very much. But honey, whether you smoke or not does not make you lovable!! Smoking is not who you are. And it's who you are that has made you so lovable!

my husband is trying to quit smoking, too. It sounds like you are much farther a long than him since he still hasn't gotten to the "feeling ok when not smoking" part. The thing that has worked for him is kind of a stages approach: he cuts out every 5th cigarette. He craves a cig, has it, repeats 4 times, then waits at least 3 hours til he gives in to the 3rd craving. Its gotten him

You need a friend to keep you from smoking . You need to marry someone who tells you that you need to quit daily . I quit when I got married and no he was not a smoker but truly hated smoking . not me just smoking lol !!! I wish I were close to you because by god you would quit with me around you . I would see to it . I would be your mom in that instant world . Oh well at least try please to quit

I read this at lunch but had no time to comment. So I've been thinking about you all afternoon and now evening.
I only know you through your blog and emails, and find you to be an amazing, positive, encouraging person. I love that you take the time to encourage some of us "newbies." (Even people like me who are getting to this diabetes party somewhat later in life.)
Hugs!!

I still have the occasional twinge. Every time I do, I remind myself that I decided a few years ago I will no longer give a flying you-know-what about what people think, or what of me they can see. Even when I get super-stressed, fall back into old patterns and struggle to remember that decision. The result? Major energy conservation, and I still kept my friends.

Go talk to someone.

2009-10-08T12:24:02.306-04:00

First, ***BIG hugs*** I so hate that you're going through this. You might say you're fine, some of your blog posts even say it, but the pain is coming across anyway. (And why should you say you're fine when you're not? What's wrong with not being okay? You're an amazing person, and even though I don't know most of your past, just from the bits you've been

2009-10-08T10:29:12.874-04:00

In the vain of BSG, might I suggest Frack as a substitute. Try it in a sentence.

Go Frack yourself. Frack off. What the Frack.

If that doesn't work, maybe just switching in a completely harmless word, like paperclip.

Go paperclip yourself. Paperclip off. What the paperclip.

Nice one! Also, the cash you save on cigarettes (I nearly wrote "fags" there, but I think the British meaning is somewhat different from the American meaning...) you can now squander on test strips! Yay!
