Paul - 30 Mar 2004 20:00 GMT Hi everyone,
As some of you know I've always enjoyed Dr. Phil's weight loss shows and have read his book, and followed his teachings. Anyway, I was watching his show the other day and he said if you want to be on my show to send in your story. So I went to his web site and told him that he had been able to do what the Army and Marines haven't, and that is to get me to a healthy weight. I explained about my accident and ballooning up afterward, even though I wasn't in the best shape before and that after being inspired by his writing his book I've lost 102 pounds in 7 months and they wrote back to me.
I sent one of his people a couple pictures of me and if they like what they see I guess I could be on his show in the future. I really don't expect this to happen, but how cool would that be! Oh well I just wanted to share that with you guys.
Take care,
Paul 300/198/175

It would be neat if you ended up on the show. For this I would even re-learn how to program my vcr so I could tape it.

My kids laugh because I ask them to reprogram my keyless garage door opener and the 'thingy' in the van that opens the garage doors. They said anyone who does computer programming should be able to handle a garage door opener<g> I always tell them I spent all my brain cells at work and have none left for home. I just find it aggravating to have to get the instruction manuals out.

Watch the Mel Gibson movie of the same name. He pretty much sums it up at the end.
IMHO as one, women want respect, love, to be seen as more than just tits and a.s, to have their talents and skills acknowledged and a chance to make a place in the world the same as a man can. But every woman is different, just like every man. There are some sicko bitches out there just like there are some lousy dick-heads.

It's ironic, because I do those things when I get the chance. Mostly, I just don't get the chance. I'm on several online dating sites and it's extremely rare when any of my first-contacts get responded to. In real life I get pretty much the same treatment that I'm getting from potential employers: the snub.
I really don't know how to turn any of this around. I AM taking active steps, just getting nothing in return.

I'm sorry to say this, but in reading all that you've had to say lately in regards to how your life is going, its time that you take a hard look in the mirror. Its not them, its you and how you are coming across to the people you meet.

Maybe, but I've looked harder in the mirror than most people ever do. I hope you never have to deal with the level of stress I've been under, but if you do, only then will you understand. There seems little I can do to change it, and this doesn't explain the online snubs.
I am feeling very despondent lately. I keep on trying but every thing I try fails.

I don't really think you've been snubbed much here - but I can certainly see in your attitude how you push people away with all your negativity.
I do hope I never have to deal with the stress you've been under either.
Have you considered counseling or therapy regarding this? Possibly a case of a social anxiety disorder that you don't realize you have, and they can treat with medications or something.
Hey - I don't know you, so I'm just throwing out suggestions. The way I see it, you complain about it in most aspects of your life - so usually when it happens in more than one area and more than once it has to do with the person and not the other people. Ya know....

> social anxiety disorder Yes, have had since before it had a name. I was on Paxil before it was "approved" for it, but it became ineffective after four years. (Paxil was the 11th AD I tried and the first one that worked. I now take Effexor which is also becoming ineffective in about year five) I've been in therapy for it several times, including twice for CBT (including the original program Standford University launched in 1990). I do fine in CBT, because I know it's not real. It's in the real world that I suck, where I don't know why I'm being rejected, snubbed and passed over. It's like giving directions to a stranger: you never know if they ever go there.
I've also taken other anti-anxiety meds (valium, buspar, etc), but I really don't like taking them (or any medication). I take anti- depressants because I cannot function without them, especially now. I have a very dramatic family history of depression. I resisted the medication until heard the whole story (as Paul Harvey would say!)
Now, I'm trying to break out of the box I'm in, but it seems everything I try just falls flat. I know that part of problem, simply put, is Boston. People here are cold, women in particular, and though I know it isn't always about me, I tend to take it that way.
So, yes, I'm very "self-aware" which will get me a cup of coffee at Starbucks (plus $3.50)

Or, it could be that you percieve the feeling of being rejected when really you aren't, but its all part of the disorder so you don't realize its really there.... (gosh, did that make any sense? I know it did in *my mind*. :)
Anyhow - that is certainly outside my knowledge of the human psychie, as I don't really have any first hand knowledge of anxiety or depression disorders and such. I guess I'm too normal (HA!!) for that kind of stuff. :-)

I resisted the >medication until heard the whole story (as Paul Harvey would say!) Well, ya know, medication works. The only experience I've had w/ the depression or some disorders like that is knowing that some people take the meds, feel better and decide they don't need the meds any more - but the fact is, its the meds that are making them feel better, without them they revert to the old ways. Or 2, the people who deny the need for meds and refuse to take them, therefore staying in their lousy state of mind. Then there are those who realize their problems, take the meds and function well.

But - if you want a good income, then you need to stay near a big city. I know I'm stuck in the job I've got mainly because there isn't much else around here that I could move into and maintain the income I'm at now (and I'd like to be making even more, but can't in this area).

But as a I said, it took a lot of trial and error to find one that worked, and then they just fade out after a while. Even worse, and more on-topic here, they make weight a serious problem. I'm still 40 pounds heavier than when I started on them. I'd lost 30 pounds in 1987 and kept it off for several years.

I've lived in several, but I think it's worse in the northeast than anywhere. The prospect of moving for 17th time (literally) doesn't appeal to me, and I don't want to do a "geographic cure" because they don't work, but since my carer is dead, I have to start thinking about it.

I feel for you. That is not an easy part of the whole process. I'm always amazed at how many drugs out there will help resolve some medical problem but have the side effect of "weight gain". I'm on a hormone that does the same thing and its all I can do to keep from gaining weight.
> > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >"geographic cure" because they don't work, but since my carer is >dead, I have to start thinking about it. I can sympathize with you there - I've been in a stable living arrangement for 6 yrs now, but before that I spent a period of 8 yrs where I moved 15 times. Its not fun.
Like I said before - check with your local employment agency to see if they offer any kind of vocational training to get you into a new career. Let me tell you - a few years ago after nearly 30 yrs into a career my father lost his job and had trouble finding a new one in the same career line. He ended up at Home Depot, and over the course of a couple years has worked his way up into management. It was a huge pay cut at first, but it was something (actually, he started out as part time only). It was a total turn around switch in a career too, but he loves it now.
It does happen and it can be done. You just have to find something you enjoy that you can grow old with.

I actually applied to Home Depot (no response). But I'll keep pushing on. This week seems to be a possible turning point for the job market. Suddenly, I'm getting calls from headhunters and the job boards are getting active. Last fall this happened, but it died. Hopefully, this one is real. (We've been waiting long enough!)
Jayjay - 01 Apr 2004 21:49 GMT >Thanks, JayJay. > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >died. Hopefully, this one is real. (We've been waiting long >enough!) Start of a new quarter and a new year for some companies, so therefore budgets are renewed and job postings can resume. The economy has been looking better in the last quarter which would allow for more job ops to open up in the next quarter.
Good luck! Keep a positive outlook. When you talk to people, try to be very optimistic and positive.

I guess I'm just technically inclined in those kinds of things. I'm the general "go to" person for that stuff - when it comes to things like hooking up the stereos, dvd, vcr, surround sound, as well as teaching people how to program their phones and voicemail and stuff.
Last weekend I was up at BIL's house and they had the new HDTV, DVD player, etc and when it was hooked up they found that they couldn't get sound on the TV when they were watching a DVD. Took me a minute to sort thru the cables but finally found the audio cable plugged into the wrong port.
Then there's the woman at work who bought a new PC and watned to pay me to come over to hook it up for them. I brought her into my office, picked up a PC, then showed her the back. See this cable with the "green" connector - plug it into this spot with the green hole. See this cable with the blue connector, plug it into this port with the blue on it. and so on. Oh, and don't forget - this power cable - plugs into the back of the compter and the other end goes into the wall outlet. :-)

I get the generic "My computer is giving me XYZ error message, what does it mean? " type questions. These days - it could mean ANYTHING and half the messages they give are so obscure that you don't know.
Things like "link.dll has caused an invalid page fault and will shut down" then the PC stops responding and you have to do a reboot.

It's usually someone I wouldn't consider a friend. I've been asked if I could take these dinosaurs home and "upgrade" them.
I've given a variety of responses from recommending local computer consultants who do this for a living to asking the inquiring party if they could come over and clean my house and cook dinner for my husband while I work on their machine.

Usually people offer to cook me dinner if I'll come over and work on their computers. The thing they don't take into consideration is - when I'm not home, there is still my DH and DS to cook and take care of.
The one that got me yesterday was the guy who comes in while I'm discussing work related stuff with someone else, in order to inturrupt the conversation to ask me a questions as to why his home PC is getting hit with viruses from his ISP. My other coworker, who I was hving the conversation with first, sat there totally dumbfounded that something work related just was interrupted for a personal question.

My other coworker, who I was > hving the conversation with first, sat there totally dumbfounded that > something work related just was interrupted for a personal question. Rude and clueless must be contagious. A similar thing happened to me 2 weeks ago while I was having a serious meeting with people from outside of the school in my classroom. Some ditz walked in and just started asking me when she could schedule an appointment to learn how to scan a photo. Everyone stopped talking and just looked at her with probably a similar dumbfounded look as your coworker.
What's worse about it is the next day I saw her again and casually mentioned that in the event I appeared short with her it was because I was in the middle of a major meeting at the time. You'd think the clue phone would have maybe started ringing then, but the number has been permanently disconnected.

This is the best response to such inquiries I've heard yet: One of my neighbors is an artist and specializes in beautiful illuminated alphabets on long narrow boards. A businessman saw one and decided he had to have one for himself. Honestly, she doesn't make these things to sell, which she told him. He persisted and wanted to know what she charged. She looked him in the eye and said "This took me 40 hours to create, how much do *you* make in a week?"

The ones that blow me away are the people who no longer work here that call me up and ask my advice on their home computers. And let me tell you - these people were not necessarily someone I'd consider a friend that I'd do this for.

This is a tautology, but many people do not accept that. That's why all the "you can eat all your fill" diets are so successful (in term of market). You also have to give up being fat, which is another tautology many people do not accept.

Do you have a pair of your old pants to demonstrate how far you've come?
I hope you'd get picked! Let us know when you're gonna be on TV so we can tape you. :)
Cheers, Joanna

Could you do a little summary of what is method is? Or of what books except his own you read? I have had a quick look on his website, and this looks mainly like psychological work, with some "listen to your body" stuff and a little nutritionnal advice. Did I get it right? This sounds pretty close to what I'm trying to accomplish myself. Though I'm not that comfortable with the reality-show part..

Why bother to lose weight. Just keep getting fatter and fatter. The fatter you get, the better chance you got of getting on the Jerry Springer show. Particularly if you got a big mouth and a real foul vocabulary.
