Topic : A Circle of Friends with Loving Support

It will be hard for you all for a little while.  My thoughts are that you need to keep at it and like you said, when they are hungry enough, they will eat.  Perhaps this is a great wake-up call for your family to become healthier eaters and keep you on your plan better.  Everyone will benefit.  I know what a good mother you are and how much you love your boys.  You want them to be healthy adults and you are on the right path to get them there, along with yourself and your hubby!

Hi,Sharon!

I am glad we cleared that out so fast. I am really threalled. I did not expect you to answer so fast.

I disagree in one point: the cheating. It is not your fault in the previous marriage that your husband was cheating.It is 100% and not even 99% his problem. People/ married couples do have character differences,everybody is human,they disagree and etc., but "fornication" it is a little bit too far fetched where person can go to resolve the problem issue. 

 You see I am a christian and in my logo it  is clearly not acceptable as a problem solving approach. I am in my 50th. And according to my calculation you are approaching that too.I did a lot of soul searching after my first marriage collapsed too. I wasted lots of time too. So the man had deep problems... why am I to torture my selve for years for that???? Today I feel sorry for him at that as far as it goes.

Hugs,Natalie.

Hi,Ladean, again!

it is my week of. I am back to work this Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I  have to try to figure out something about the walking tapes to make my walking on the treadmill more fun. it is quite hot outside even to ride a bike, so threadmill is great. But I need such great effort to get ther.

Hugs,Natalie

These new boards are confusing me to the point my head hurts.

You will find that at first you have to make yourself excercise, and after a week or two you will find you miss it if you don't do it, it becomes part of your daily routine. All my life I've hated to excercise, now I look forward to it everyday. Remember this program Isn't about willpower it all about WANT POWER.

Okay, I'll concede that it was his fault that he cheated - we all know that is wrong.  The part that I do own is my behavior that contributed to our problems.  He has his behavior to own for that as well.  Because we were unhappy together, he sought out another woman - he should have either tried to work out our problems or divorced me prior to doing that.  But, we don't always do what we should.  I agree with you that seeking another person is not a problem solving approach.  At the same time, right or wrong, it happens and a previous point that I was trying to make was that men are not the only ones who do it.

I've reached a point in my life where I have no regrets.  I am happier with myself, and my life, today than I have ever been. My bad first marriage and many other occurrences have taught me many lessons.  Those life lessons are what got me to this place.  Without them I might not have reached this level of happiness.

I forgave my ex for his behavior many years ago.  That does not mean that I condone it, I just forgive it - we are human and we don't always do the right thing.

Sharon

I think that many of us agree that we don't like to exercise.  The question we must ask ourselves is:

 How important is it to me to lose weight?

If it is important to us, we all know that exercise is a must.  We can give ourselves permission to not like it - we just have to do it - like it or not!

Hugs,

Sharon

You mean it will get easy if I will do just a little effort to make  it a nice new habit.

It sounds great , I will get right to it. Thanks ,Ladean, you are a doll!

Hugs, Natalie.
