My Feelings--Rant

Linda J - 28 Dec 2004 18:29 GMT
I had decided not to post my weight until Saturday, but what's the
difference, it is what it is and a few days won't make much difference.

I'm going to spend more time posting, now that I seem to have figured out
Outlook from home.  I need to.

I used to get frustrasted by people who could stick to the program and loose
much faster than me, but I'm trying to not do that anymore.  My situation
may be unique, I don't know, but I have to work this my way, and deal with
my situation.  I also have to stop myself from allowing others to make my
food choices for me.

Things at home are getting better, but we still have "coming to terms with
things" issues from my DD and little big guy.  Their family unit split at
Easter and they moved in with me at a moment's notice and it's very hard on
both of them, we had to find a larger home, and moving twice in three months
was hard on my little big guy as he was used to my apartment and then had to
leave that too.  My DD   also has to deal with the little big guy's
feelings--he just turned four in August.  Of course, I have to be there for
both of them which is no easy task.

So I feel this is the only place for me right now.  I can't confide in any
of my friends as I don't think it's any of their business, and when I did
try to confide in what I thought was a very close friend, she told me I need
to move out and leave my daughter struggling on her own--I can't do that.
I'm here for as long as they need me.

Anyhow, that's it in a nutshell, I know I'll feel better when the weight
comes off again, I just have to be patient.

Talk at ya all soon.

what a horrid thing to tell a mother to do.  I don't know what is best for
you or your daughter but telling you something like that so early on is just
vile, its not like she is living there for the third decade.  And maybe it
is better for her, the child or even you.  I know it will be hard but these
things have a way of working out with a little time, best of luck to you,

Thanks, Lee.

My daughter is 35, has an excellent job with a multi-national corporation,
but right now she needs emotional support.  It makes me feel good inside
knowing I can help her adjust and cope with everything that's gone on.  My
DS and DDIL are doing the best they can by taking my little big guy out for
special outings, so I definitely think we are all doing the right thing for
this moment in our lives.

it sounds as if your family is pulling together to help, that is so
wonderful.  and as tragic as these things are the brighter side is that you
get to see the grandchild more often and your DS and DIL are able to a.ses
their wants/needs about parenting along with having fun, tell them, money
permitting, chuckie cheese is a MUST*not for grandson for them*  Lee

I didn't know Chuckie Cheese was in the States--That's where they've been
taking him, supposedly for him, but DS loves it there.  I've never been.

rat character, decent pizza, casino type games for the kids*allegedly*,
sometimes a little floor show.  My niece that is now 20 asked if my parents
would let her have a part for 16 th birthday there, Mom hedged because of
thinking of 20 teenagers and the costs, Niece saw the look on her face,
quickly said, oh grandma, if you let me go there it can just be the family,
I can go to dinner with BF later and forget the friends.  I like it because
of the "child security" it is very easy for me to take one in there and not
be paranoid, Lee, rambling

Yup, CC is here in the states although there are not as many as there
were when my kids were growing up.

There are two in the city just to the south of us, so it's about a 30
minutes drive.  They stay for 3-4 hours and have a ball.

We used to take the kids to CC when they were little. The one we went to
closed but has been replaced by a close one. My youngest is 15 so she's
outgrown CC for sure. Its must be 16 or 17 years since we've been to
one. Our kids loved the place. My oldest stepkid is now 31.

Hey Linda! On one of my many re-runs I went from 178 to 330 in a year. (this
was years ago). The Last re-run before this incarnation when I just didn't
stop, I had lost in '90 down to 200, then regained to 247 which was where I
was when I began again in '92... This time the fat lady is singing, and I am
not going back up. It is "no longer an option"
And I empathize. My family is a TRAIN WRECK. Not just demented Momma either.

as Tony robins says, there simply is NO functional family, just degrees of
effort, Lee

I know how you feel, Linda. Posting your weight is facing reality and
shows determinations to do something about it. The putting on weight
shows that you are just like the rest of us - we are human. Thank
goodness for weight watchers and this groups - without either of you, I
don't know what I would have done.
