Hi all,

I haven't been on here forever it seems. I am usually out the door at 7am and not back home till 8-9 pm and then right to bed. I am doing ok just dealing with lots of stress and stuff right now. Trying to stay healthy, everyone around me has colds,coughs etc. Still helping my daughter sort through stuff from the flood damage and stuff to separate for the divorce, and helping with my granddaughters.

My weight loss has stalled, but I haven't gained any back at least. I know why I am not losing (eating is all out of balance, and at inconsistant times) and will get back on track soon. I am still seeing the nutritionist and trying to plan.eat better....I just don;t have any appetite now days.

Hugs to all of you, Paulette

Hi Paulette!

Glad to hear from you.

Try to keep up with your eating schedule as YOU are important too. It is great that you and Earl are able to be so helpful to your daughter, but you must also take care of yourself. That is the hardest lesson for mothers to learn, I think.

I have missed you on the boards, but we understand how busy you are now.

Just remember that I am thinking of you and sending energy your way.

Have a splendid day!

Tell someone that you love them!

Hi Paulette -

It's good to hear from you. Sorry this is such a hard time for you and your family. Please don't forget to take care of YOU! You can't take care of your loved ones if you don't come first.

HUGS to you my friend,

Christina

Hi Paulette. I agree with everyone else. Please take the time to care for yourself. It's so hard to do when you are trying to help loved ones.

Manage your eating the best you can right now. Don't be too hard on yourself.

Hugs,
Lucy
