Brandy, I'm soooo sorry to hear about all that you and your family are going through. I pray for you often even tho I haven't been on much. I hope things start to improve for you soon. Take care.
I am truely sorry that you are having such a rough time right now. Weightloss by no means is a walk in the park and to have this much stress on you has to be making this harder for you. I think what I would do in this situation is try to work out as much stress through physical activity to help you not only burn fat but to help releive the tension. Then find time to relax. Or just go into a room by myself and put a pillow over my face and scream or cry what ever made me feel better.
I do the pillow thing. I cry all the time, but try not to do it in front of my kids. I have decided to just keep trudging on and will go back to the gym tomorrow and begin the week on a high note. I agree that the exercise will do me good. Thanks for the advice and support.
I'm so sorry you have to go through all this turmoil. You will be in my prayers. Thanks for letting us know. May God give you the strength you need to get through this.
Thank you for your support. You know what doesn't kill you just makes you stronger. Well, I should be a viking by the time this is all over. haha OH, I made your chicken parm today. My family LOVED it! Great recipe!! Thanks
well with out even saying you know I have started to pray for you and your family ...love ya girl and we all are here for you please know this and stay strong...love ya...love rosemary
Brandy I am so terribly sorry for what you're going through it is difficult when we have our little struggles ...but when it comes to sharing children w/ another person.. who wants to rip our worlds apart by the very seams.. Then onto of that your babies issues (I know he's 16 but he's still your baby no matter what)I send you my prayers to god to reach out & guide you through these hard times...All my thoughts & best wishes to you my friend, please take care & keep safe ..hugs xo Kimberly
Thankyou so much Kimberly. Yes, even though he is 16, he is sooo much my baby. I keep telling him that everytime I look at him, I just see the little baby that used to sleep on my chest. I miss those days. *sigh* I appreciate so much your help and your support. huggs back to you!!
I am sorry to hear about the custody battle and your son's health problems. Take a deep breath. Now, take another one. One thing at a time. Now is a good time to think about your extreme self care. What are you doing to relax? What are you doing to nuture your soul? What do you need? Hang in there sweetie. I have you in my thoughts.
Mia, you want to know what I need? I would like to have a magic wand, that when waved will put everything into a calm place and make everyone happy. You have that lying around? I would gladly pay the shipping for it. *smile* thanks for your thoughts and your advice. I appreciate it very much.
Shukran sister. I need prayers. I know in my heart that Allah (swt) will provide, but right now it's difficult to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Aww, thanks alot. I appreciate it. I hate to be a bummer, but I thought better to let people know why I was MIA. You, however are doing amazingly well! I'm totally jealous! lol
I am so sorry to hear about what you are going thru, 5lbs seems to be pretty good with all the things that are going on right now. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Thank you so much for thinking of me. I appreciate the support. I know that 5lbs is ok, better down than up. I just don't find myself caring much about it right now.
I am so truly sorry for what you are going thru. My youngest child has major Heart defects. If there is anything I can do to help you get thru this or help you find answers...PLEASE let me know. Big hugs, Caprice
So sorry to hear about your little one. My son seemed perfectly fine until just a few weeks ago. Then I incidently found the heart issue in my ECG class. After that I took him to the ER for back pain..and being a boy (wild) lol I thought it was just muscle pain..it was not. I was just flabbergasted! Usually spina bifida is diagnosed in infancy, but not the occult spina bifida. So, we wait for the docs to decide what to do next. Thanks for thinking of me.
I am a walking court ! you have any questions,ask ! My mom also runs our big court . I too went through the ex drama. He pulled everything he could out of his ass to burn me. Went on for years,until i waived child support ! then he dropped off the face of the earth ! my daughter sees him 2 times a yr for the . Im so sorry about your son, what are they going to do to help him ?I am gonna right you in private. Ask me anything I will help you ! sending lots of love
I'm hoping this is the case with my ex. I sent you a PM, but it didn't go through. Grrrr. Sometimes I hate youtube! I wanted to pick your brain about the custody, but I wanted to wait until you were feeling better. Just let me know when you're feeling more like yourself. Thanks for the support.
So sorry you are having to deal with so much all at once. We're here for you, girl. By the way, 5 lbs in a month is still awesome! I had a month where I only lost 6 lbs and I was and still am so grateful for every single loss. Don't stop exercising and doing all the right things. I always lose inches before lbs too. It WILL come off! Keep on keeping on. My prayers are with you in dealing with all of your sons new medical issues.
Thanks for the support. I have amazing restriction now, but with all my stress I find myself eating. Just kinda pushing the food down..or purging it back up after I eat. Sometimes I have terrible pain with eating and I still do. I'm a walking mess lately. I hope things calm down soon.
Thanks steve. I know you are always there. I just didn't want to drag you into my chaotic life. You have enough to deal with as it is. But thanks so much for the support. I will try to keep a positive outlook.
Aw, I'm sorry that you are dealing with so much. I know it has to be really rough.
I don't have any great words of advice, but I'm always here to listen, feel free to message me any time about anything, I really hope that the custody battle works out in your favor, my mother went through one and it's really hard emotionally.
As far as the illnesses that's overwhelming. I wish him all the best.
Take care of yourself and if there's anything I can do please message me.
Brandy, I'm sorry for all the drama and medical issues. That's got to be very upsetting and frightening....so my advice is to stay as calm as you can and take care of you so you can take care of your son and the rest of your family. Empower yourself so you can fight your battles and demand the good things...
Thank you so much Miss A. It's nice to know people are thinking of me. I am trying to prepare as much as I can. My son is taking things exceptionally well. I wish I could say the same for myself. Thanks again
