[QUOTE="Loving Abbey 2, post: 152448, member: 4845"] Sharon--what a mile stone! WFEN-I'm impress by completing the collage (I always try to do things like that and they never get finished)!! Marg-Congrats on breaking though!! Trinity-It's great that you are doing this as a family! Perhaps it will help your kids not need to make this adjustment later in life like we are doing. Wiped out-The most imprtant part is that you are staying active--it will keep your metabolism going. I've lost one pound, after last week's gain, I am just so grateful to not have gained anymore. I haven't been able to get as much exercise as I'd like, but I am fitting it in when I can. I am drinking even more water than ever (with sugar and calorie free flavor), which makes me not feel so hungry all the time. The one big thing I noticed this week is my endurance is getting better. I work on the 3rd floor. When I have my rolling case of files I used to take the elevator (as it is very heavy) and some times when I didn't have it. Since starting this I have been using the stairs--even with the case. FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER I got up the stairs yesterday with the case and I was not out of breath!! Two months ago, when I went up the stairs to the office, without the case, I was visibly out of breath. I used to always blame my asthma, but really it appears that it was simply a lack of fitness. This experience made me almost cry and I'm not an emotional person usually. It felt really, really good and I just felt for the first time in I don't know how long, that there is hope. Everything doesn't have to be bad forever. Change is possible. Oh, and this friday, I found a sitter for difficult child (let's hope she can handle it) and I am going to a group--Adult Children of Alcoholics and other dysfunctional families. My therapist has suggested I try this for years, and someone I know mentioned it to me and so I'm going to go. And I qualify a million times over. But it really focuses on how your childhood has shaped who you are and how to overcome. It's a 12 step program that moves you through the process of letting go and moving on. I'll have to find someone who can committ to watching difficult child if I find I fit in with this group. Tonight is a good night, what more can I ask for. [/QUOTE]
