Hey all

Thanks for loving me no matter what!!! I am fine, just had a down moment and took it out on you all.

 

Joe thanks for your response, it really surprised me that a man made a comment on my mood. Most men would run screaming from an upset woman, and yes that is when i usually quit something, when i am down.

 

 Lois good to see you are the kids getting better?

 

Karen good to see you again, we had another Karen join today, i guess we are going to have to call you Karen 1 or something to keep you straight. It takes a bit of getting use to but the board is starting to get easier to navigate, you'll get it.

 

Don't worry i didn't eat myself silly or anything, just watching TV and taking it easy....JOY

All here is well - thanks for asking. A fever has gone around the house but nothing too serious. My son-in-law leaves for training camp on Thursday so things will pick up a little then. In the meantime I am doing what I can and trying to stay out of his way in the morning so he can have his coffee without looking at my face first thing in the morning giggle

I get on when I can - very limited and of course I can't have any fun as I can't download smileys but am doing the best I can.

I miss the board - I miss talking with all of you!! Of course by the time I get home winter will have set in and hopefully I'll have more time - but of course we don't have winter in Texas now do we?????? Not much of one anyhow.

I see so many new people and new board names. Glad all are doing well.

Thanks for the heads up on the cell phone. Am sure your son is a doll but he doesn't need to be talking to some "old lady" ha ha ha

We'll talk soon . Love and Hugs Lois

LOL he would be polite I'm sure. I'm just glad that you can get on-line from time to time, even if it's not for very long. WINTER? what's that? lol I will be so glad for it to cool off some, man it's been hot here. Yes we have several new poeple joining the board it's great. And some of us as you can see had to change their user names to get in here...But I think mine fits me, don't you? lol.

I miss you girl and I'll let you know when I have my cell phone back.

Hugs,

Ladean

Hi hon.  I know you're having a rough go of it and that it is DISAPPOINTMENT that drives you to give up but you know what............you can't do that!!!  Have you asked if the fertility drugs might be cauing you to be at a standstill??  I appreciate your honesty but honey you know that everytime you give in you have to start all over again and add to that the guilt you are feeling well.....you deserve better than that.

Come on the board and post of let someone have your phone # so that when you're about to cave at least you can reach out first.

I want to tell you that if you would relax that things will happen if they are meant to - I believe our bodies respond to our moods - I believe that with everything I have.  Just don't quit on yourself and don't let yourself get depressed because you will get caught in a viscious cycle!!!

You are WORTH IT!!!!!!!!!!

BIG HUGS (((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((Lois))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

Hi there friend!  Glad to see ya here.  I'm waving right back at ya!  Took my oldest son for a check up appointment today.  He will be 7 in October.  He was 52 inches tall, weighed 100 lbs.  They sent him for labs, to check his thyroid & for diabetes.  Did a bone growth study xray.  I have to take him to a nutritionist.  I have 6 months for the doctor to see a difference, or they will send him to a gastroenterologist to deal with a "overeating problem".  They said he is obese.  So, needless to say, I am not happy today.

 

Hugs,

I'm so sorry hun, I had to deal with the same thing with my middle son, he was 106 at 7 yrs old, and the doctor just said he's a big eater, and did nothing. I thought he would out grow it, but he didn't, and now weight almost 300 pounds. He is living with me again and I have him on the program with me and he is loosing weight. I wish I had been smarter when he was younger so he wouldn't of went threw his teens as an over weight child, it was very hard on him. I am so glad your doctor is doing something about your son while he's young. Just remember hun, he's young enough to change his eating habits now. It may be hard on him at first but he will adjust quickly. And he will thank you for it when he's older. You know you have our love and support.

Hugs,

Ladean

Hey friend.  I'm glad the pediatrician is acting now also.  I know it's going to be hard, but things have to change.  I put in a call to a cousin of mine who is a pediatrician also.  I'm hoping to get some ideas from her also.  I didnt even think of her sooner.  She just graduated a few months ago.  He told me if I had to get a padlock and trunk and lock certain foods up to do it.  Not gonna do that.  I'm not gonna have anything in my house from now on, that would have to be locked up.

 

Hugs,

 

Karen

Afternoon Everybody!!!

It is hard to keep up - I have just been out for the day and there are pages and pages of stuff to read.  Not too mention trying to remember who everyone is - It is a job!!!!

 

I am enjoying hearing about everyone's life and troubles - nice to know I am not the only one!!!!!

 

The Texas Heat is an exercise program in itself!!!!  Just being out today I have drank 4 bottles of water - which I know is very good!!!!!  

 

Tomorrow is my weigh day!!!!  Has anyone bought Dr. Phil's cookbook yet?

Quiet Here Now

Things are kind of quiet here now. So I cannot complain. No impending disaster headed my way. I ate well today and got some exercise. And drank a lot of water.

 

Heck maybe I should take a nap. I won't say that too loud or someone may show up.

 

Sorry to hear of the obese children. Its a bad start to life. It effects every aspect of living as we all know.

 

Maybe sports will help when he is older and some sort of sport camp where they exercise a lot and don't get to eat too much. I know it sounds lame.

 

Its good he has someone who cares in his corner. Every problem has a solution if you look long enough.
