Well Hello!!! :)
It has been a long time!
WE are still here trying to hang on ya know?
In March my Dad had a stroke, not really bad but scary really scary, my son was being bullied REALLY REALLY REALLY badly at school, then April brought the first anniversary of my Mom's death, May brings Mother's Day.  So I have been in a stressed out FUNK since March.  Last week my husband found out he will be loosing his job in July!
so hanging on is all we are doing...
I took an after school program job to pay for private school for the boy.
My husband and I have decided to loose some weight. He has already lost 6 pounds...me??? maybe 1 if that...I am going to have to do protein drinks I think and soft proteins ONLY... we are walking and using our WII fit (that is TONS of fun...LOL)
the kids are ok...the boy is struggling and barely hanging on
the girl is great :)

so what is new with you???
hopefully now that the school year is ending I can be a bit more active here...I need some support...
I hope I can be of some support to you as well!

Hi Nic, it's always wonderful to hear from you. I am so sorry things are so tough for you and your family right now. How old is your son? Bless his heart, he must be filled with all sorts of painful and difficult thoughts and feelings right now. Best thing you can do is try to keep him busy doing things he enjoys with his family - outside! Just like for us WLS survivors, the more we put our energy into moving our bodies, the less energy we will spend on "stinking thinking" - I think OA came up with that slogan, and it's a good one. I don't know if I want to pat your husband on the back or punch him in the nose!!! How is he losing the weight so easily??? Good for him - and great for the two of you doing this together. Hang tough, Nic. Be well, Maureen

 Great to hear from you & so sorry you are having to deal with so much stuff right now.
Life is tought these days for everyone. You just have to keep fighting & congrats on
working on losing weight with your husband. It makes it much more doable when doing
it with someone.
