Good morning it is Friday

Hello ladies and gents. I am up and going, well up, not really going. LOL. I woke up early this morning from a thought or a dream not sure, it was about my youngest that is autisic and is 5'4 and weights 247. I am so worried for him he now weights more then I have ever been and he is only 16. What woke me up was my company is to be going to Indiana Beach in two weeks and I just thought oh no, he is not going to fit into most rides. He is going to be so disapointed and so unhappy and people are going to be making fun of him. I have tried to help him to lose weight but, he dosen't want me to help if he is hungery or thinks he is, he will go make him something. I can't tell him NO. I will suject can't you wait just one more hour we will eat he always says no. And then he eats when we do have our meal also. Alot of this was from his meds, but he himself has to try to stop. My heart is just aching for him. And for all of you that are still waiting in hopes to have the surgery. I remember my fellings and how people are and how bad I felt health wise and people making comments. I fell for those of you still waiting I had to wait almost 2 years before I could get my insurance to let me. Thinking of all of you. I don't want to be a bummer but I know how I felt when I was waiting so long for my insurace to apporove me and seeing all the loser, I was felling selfish and even disapointed that I wasn't one of them.

Good Morning, All!! TGIF!!! I am soooooo ready for this 4-day week-end. Geez, why can't we have them at least once a month?? Busy week-end planned with the F1 race. Will probably be at the track Sat & Sun for practice and race. Hopefully the weather will hold out for all of those who are camping, cooking out, etc. Lisa - Take care of yourself! Don't over-do it this week-end. Sherri - Have a WONDERFUL time in Vegas!! Everyone - HAVE A GREAT 4TH OF JULY!! Bren 248/218/goal? ---------------------- Don't give up what you want most for what you want at the moment.

Lisa the best way you CAN help him is by having good food around the house.. buy fruit, baked sun chips..wheat bread.. etc.. so what if he doesnt like it, if he is "hungry " enough he will eat what is good for him if the crap he doesnt need isnt there to get to. I wouldnt worry about him OD'ing on seedless grapes.. and heaven forbid he has to eat a bowl of cherry tomatoes, or grape tomatoes... to satisfy his "hunger" Un buttered microwave popcorn...fruit juice instead of pop... if you only buy diet pop then he cant get to the regular kind unless he forks out his own cash.....

Thanks Linda, but we dont have pop at the house, and only unsweeted tea, everyonce in a great while I will make brownies. We don't really even have chips, If mamma can't haven't no body can have it. lol... His problem is he will make a hole box of mac and cheese and eat it or eat just about anything in the house, he dosn't care. I do however still buy him butter microwave pop corn. But you are right I am going to try to see if I can change a few thing, but like anything I can get low fat it is done, only wheat or muliti grain bread here. My oldest is on a health kick so try to buy good stuff for him to. Lisa B
