I do feel the same way...yes sometimes it exhausting but to tell you the truth I am scared of the day that I don't think, worry and obsess about it. Look what happen to me when I didn't worry about it...or care...I got morbidly obese.. It is frustrating always having this brain battle about what to eat, whether I got enough water or am I taking the right vitamins etc...and I know it's frustrating to those around me that don't understand why after 9 months I still talk about it EVERYDAY. So, keep on obessing sister...if it helps get us where we are suppose to be, if it helps us stay vigilant so be it.

We have the same thing in our house, two of my children are perfect weight (thin) and one is a roundling. We went to a nutritionist who must have been Freudian because all we kept coming back to is "what is the mother doing wrong" i said let's rethink this a moment shall we.....the mother had bariatric surgery so I'm on round 2 of Andi eats well so let's look elsewhere. I make this kid a good breakfast, he buys the crappy pop tarts in school, i make him a healthy lunch with good snacks he buys the crappy school lunch and snacks (are you supposed to eat pizza and pasta with sauce at the same meal?) i pack him a healthy snack (usually fruit, cheese, lunch meat rolls) for in school snacks, they come home to me in the same pristine condition they left in. This may not be the mother it may be time to look at and focus on the child! I don't have the answer but i'm sure as hell gonna find it! Hugs, ANDI

My story is a bit different from most. I was always thin and could eat anything, then when I was 30 I got very sick... I had several tumors and gained 140 lbs in 6 mth. The doctors never could figure out why...Then my legs were crushed in a car accident... exercise was impossible (I ended up in a wheel chair for a short time). For me it was a weird almost surreal journey. For me this is a way of getting my life back.

wow.. have they gotten the tumors under control.. thats something than to get in a car accident.. ouch.. glad you are back on the mend and getting your life back.

Thanks Carla so far no more tumors, and getting healthier every day

amen sister!
