Need Cheered Up!!

I am so sad! My baby girl moved out today. Her and her fiance got an apartment. I thought I was all prepared for this but actually carrying her stuff out to the truck made me so sad. I don't remember being so sad when my older son moved out...but I guess anytime your little birds leave the nest it is hard. I am just glad my little Jacob is only 3 and I don't have to deal with him leaving for awhile! 3 months ago I would have tried to eat away my sadness, but so glad I have my weightloss buddies instead!!!

Awww. Sorry you're sad. Don't worry though, all this means is that you've successfully raised an independent member of society. Congratulations!!!!! Just think about all of those thousands and thousands of 25 and 30 year olds living at home with their parents (no offense to any 25 or 30 year olds we have on this board who live with their parents)!

My daughter went to Greece for 2 weeks(shes18) I have missed her, but......She doesnt eat meat. I have loved being able to cook food and not worry about if she would like what I cooked. When others are around you tend to cook what they like and not what you like. So look at it as a way to make menus around what you like, your 3 year old is young enought to enjoy any food you cook. Just think of the money you will save for all those new clothes. And when your feeling really sad, just remember shes only a phone call or a visit away. You can have the bathroom to yourself. you can walk around in your PJs without worring about her fiance walking in and seeing. Ya have to look at all the pluses. ((((((( )))))))) So dont bee sad ok. ((((( )))))

I'm with Julie, be happy you've raised a productive member of society! But wow! One moving out and one 3 year old. I thought MINE were far apart at 10 and 2! WTG on not medicating with food, too! Every trial you get through without reverting back to bad habits is a WIN!
