To cut a long story short my DD went missing from her SummerScheme. They'd gone to the cinema and whilst it was dark she just got up and left. The whole cinema complex went into allert, all films stopped showing, the police were called, my DD had taken herself to Macdonalds. Now my DD is Autistic and can't ask for help. She has no fear of danger and unlike some people on the autistic spectrum she loves cuddles and will hold hands with any one. You can imagine what I've been going through. Luckily for her noone abducted her. She went to Macdonalds because she knew that was where we were going after I'd met up with her after the cinema. To get to Mac's from the cinema meant she had to cross a very busy road. All I can say is thank God we drilled it into her to wait for the green man before she crosses the road. In fact she won't cross that road without the green man, and if we try to get across without it then she will literally scream. That green man could have saved her life today.
Needless to say watching my food has been the last thing on my mind.
Went to my first Slimming World meeting tonight and my new starting weight is 258 not as my bathroom scales had been telling me 246 this week. Before anyone asks I weighed myself fully clothed in what I was going to wear to be weighed at the meeting. Either my scales are completely out and need replacing or I need to chance the battery. I'm thinking it could be the later, because when I came home and weighed myself again on them it showed that I weighed 68lb.
Life is a real roller coaster ride sometimes. Going along just fine and dandy and then, oh my gosh, the curve, the severe turns, the straight down, arms in the air, screaming section..........
Nicki, my heart literally jumped to my throat as I read about your daughter walking away to McDonalds. Oh My Gosh.
Consider yourself hugged because I'm sure you need one after going through that.
My DH?
You hit it right on the nail.
I don't know if I mentioned, but I'm going to make an appointment to go get some free legal advice about divorcing. I think that I've had enough. Especially with my son starting to do very odd things.
I have to nip it in the butt......NOW, before it's too late.
Well, ladies, life goes on and we just need to dig our heels in and deal with what comes our way
Kelli in all honesty I think that at last you're making the correct sensible choice. After all what message were you giving your children before. 'It's ok to be emotionally and mentally abused'. Or to be the one emotionally and mentally abusing.
Have you a good support system, people out there in the real world that you can rely on?
Managed my first official day on my new eating plan yesterday. I've been semi doing it earlier but had certain food items that had to be eaten up first. I can't throw food away, it's not in my nature, or maybe that's nurture having been born in the 50's. There was still rationing when I was born.
Kelli, Take care of yourself. Taking care of yourself is the best gift you can give those in your life you care for. imo
Nicki, Congrats on Slimming World first day!!!!
I am back to eating OP. I did enjoy my vacation food. Tried to eat when I was hungry and to not overeat and to only eat what I really wanted. DId ok with that. We also walked about 4 hours!!
I'm sitting here at my computer semi writing and semi listening to one of my religious programs to which they are speaking all about attitude.
To be honest, I really should be listening to this!!
WOW Ash, a vacation. Sweet.
Ya' know the last time I had a vacation?
1985! And, I kid you not.
For whatever reason, DH doesn't seem to think that he can leave his business for a vacation. His office mate, seems to handle vacation YEARLY, but for whatever reasoning my DH has himself convinced that he can't take time off.
Gee, do you think perhaps that might be a stress point in this family?!!!!
Lately I have eaten everything (mostly on the Q-T or secret) and it's driving me crazy. I think that my situation is all stress related and I can't seem to get past it. The troubles with DH and now difficulties with my son have me VERY concerned.
Guys, I want to thank you both for being here. It seems like we're developing a nice friendship and I hope and pray that we help one another.
Well, I've gotta run. Take care and watch your eating. Healthy lifestyles now.
Quickie!
and hello!
Hey Guys
