		<title>When Triggered, we MUST &#8220;Keep On Keepin&#8217; On&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When Triggered, we MUST Keep On Keepin&#8217; On. I don&#8217;t say that lightly. I know how hard it is. Two hours ago I was sobbing my eyeballs out, and an hour ago I was still sure that chucking my sites and everything that I have going on (or should I say, what little I have [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dr. Oz&#8217;s 3 Steps for De-Cluttering</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you are like me, clutter, &#34;failure to clean,&#34; &#34;lack of follow-through,&#34; &#34;God-awful mess&#34; &#8230; whatever fits :) &#8230; is a big problem. It&#8217;s no wonder! Our brains are already flooded with stress hormones, we start each day already tired out, and frankly have so much crap going on in our heads that the smaller [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Great Downgrade</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The title sounds ominous, doesn&#8217;t it? The Great Downgrade. *shiver* We&#8217;ve been taught all our lives to move up, up, UP! in life. Society measures success by accomplishment. If you&#8217;re not moving onward and upward, you&#8217;re a failure! Pretty hard-core, eh? And UTTERLY RIDICULOUS. As young idealistic people we idolize these measuring sticks&#8230; and we [...]]]></description>

		<title>Journal: Progress at Last</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Found this in a journal from August 14, 2008: I&#8217;ve been sick the last 3 days. I adore people who can suck it up, put on their big girl panties and trudge off through daily life when they are sick; I&#8217;ve never been able to do that, not even when I was a kid. My [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Nightmares Are Back.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Nightmares are back. My nightly nightmares/night terrors ended September 20, 2008. There was a major life event in my family that occurred, and it was like someone flipped a switch in my head: Nightly Horrow Show = OFF. It was not fixed by a pill, a ritual, therapy, controlled breathing, visualization, none of that. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Is Pharmawest Pharmacy for Real?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I noticed from this site&#8217;s stats that a few visitors are searching for &#8216;Pharmawest Pharmacy&#8217;, and I assume y&#8217;all are wondering if they are for real, and reputable. After all, who isn&#8217;t nervous ordering medications on the internet? (I won&#8217;t even go into the visions/nightmares I have in my head about this. Bottom line, I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Please just shoot me now.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ugggghhhhh. This bug has skidded into a full-blown head cold + bronchitis. I can&#8217;t breathe, I can&#8217;t breathe, I can&#8217;t hear, and oh yeah, I can&#8217;t breathe. I have evolved into a first-class mouth breather. (Yuck!) And I&#8217;m reacting to something I ate; I have hives all over my mouth???? I can&#8217;t imagine why, as [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mr. Good News Mirror</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For years I&#8217;ve avoided mirrors, not wanting to see what was reflected back, because I&#8217;ve been thoroughly disgusted with what was shown there. I mean, repulsed. So my solution was to just not look, and if I didn&#8217;t see it, it wasn&#8217;t really there. I could continue to mentally see myself as the pretty, curvy [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hello world, I&#8217;m an addict &#8230; and 13 lbs. lighter.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On October 29th I posted about having lost 11 lbs. I was so stinkin&#8217; proud of how quick that first 10 had come off, and frustrated with (at that point) a 1-2 week plateau&#8230; but I thought I&#8217;d be able to get right back on the Fast Drop Train. Didn&#8217;t happen. I spent the next [...]]]></description>

		<title>Back Home</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We went to The Big City yesterday (a 90-odd mile trek from Boonieville) to meet some internet friends for the first time. They, too, had driven to The Big City &#8211; from Boonieburgh :) &#8211; and were doing their Big City shopping (Super-Walmart, Sam&#8217;s Club, Menards, Home Depot, Fleet Farm, etc.; all the stores we [...]]]></description>
