This can't be the first time hub has done something like this. I know I've heard similar before. I'm concerned about the chest pain, though and what this stress is doing to you. Forget the diet & have some Haagen-Daz. You'll feel better. :-)

Seriously, I am working so hard to keep my heart calm. I want you to do same.

Men think differently, Deb. As for the sister-in-law, well, get mad, madder than hell......and then let her leave your mind. She may genuinely think she is helping, she may just be behaving like a bitch, but you are being successful, without her help. Continue on.....and get everyone else out of your mind. Do you have any nature sounds you can listen to? If you do, put them on, preferably listen with headphones and see how quickly you will relax. If you have an iPhone, The Naturespace app has wonderful sounds to help.

I should buy those tapes, too, particularly wave sounds. In Massachusetts I lived right on the beach & heard the surf 24/7. So wonderful. Must be nice to fall asleep to.

Hi Deb- Hope you don't have any firearms in your house. It could get dangerous.
Sort of half kidding. Why get so angry over ANYTHING. Life is too short. Enjoy every precious moment. BTW how's your blood pressure? Or is that too personal? Mine was taken today and it was 115/59. Not bad for an old lady.
How do I keep it so low? Simple! Think of life as one big joke that will soon be over... Another 50 years...tops.

Dear Pat: I do have some environment tapes. Good suggestion! I'll use them. I just have to hold out until 6PM. I have a Reiki appointment tonight (THANK GOD!!!) I hope she won't want to do access bars....they're good for releasing irritation, but Reiki seems to work better for physical symptoms. As to being successful -- actually the combination of Reiki and access bars has made dieting easier than it's ever been. As upset as I am --- I didn't reach for anything to eat. I have noticed that for the past month the eating response to stress has totally left me. Now I just get sick -- not an ideal response either, but I suppose it's better than stuffing my face with anything that's not nailed down. Since I have always been a stress eater -- I'm hoping this change remains. If it does, I'll keep any weight I lose off. --Debutante Good results, wonderful!!! The sounds really do help one relax. Mike and I listen almost every night. He puts on rain on the speaker and if I still haven't drifted off, I put on headphones and listen to a thunderstorm....and before I know it, it's morning. Glad you have a session tonight....great timing....
