2 years...I'm not a saint
Just over 2 years out, I'm not a saint at all. I've struggled with alcohol in the last year. I have. Wanna talk addiction transfer, been there, done that, and understand it. I AM getting a handle in it, but I'm still learning. And if you see it in yourself, would love to talk to about it. Besides my own struggles, I'm watching DH network, and am soooo pissed off! I'm sorry if I offend anybody, but how can u let ur teenage, pre-teen kid get to 500+ pounds? How does that happen? And it does come down to, how did my parents let me get to be 250lbs while I was under their care? I know, I know, I do know, that there that there were cir****tances in my case, I get that. But letting ur kid, ur minor child get to 500 lbs plus?
I'm worried about my niece. Mom is a big woman, who struggled so much through her life because she was always very, morbidly, obeses, and niece is so far very strong, but I am so worried about her! Her Mom threw away her potential(with drugs and such), she is so smart, so driven, but has allowed others to dictate her life, and my niece is soooo very intelligent, so focused, but I know, and her Mom knows, it's easy to let others let you get sidetracked by rudeness and nastiness and by just simply ignoring the person.
I dont want to make her self-conscious, she's doing well now, but I think I know what is going to happen. I love that kid to death! How do I help her without hurting her? I so badly don't want her to hurt like I did, and I know that her Mom suffered soo much more pain, and I want to try to make sure that it won't hurt my baby girl in her future, and in her schooling. Do u know that her favorite subjects are music, and science? She is destined to be great in helping, but she can be blocked. Anybody here that reads this is a good person, and gets it, and will give her a chance, but that isn't reality, and we all know it.
I don't even worry about me anymore. I'm not going to have anything, other than knowing I've earned a second chance at life by the years I put into having my surgery, and the years I've been learning to live since then. I just want want my nieces and nephews and all the other kids associated to my life to be happy and strong through their lives.
I love u all! All who I have met before, and all who are just beginning! I welcome any question or comment. Life is a crazy journey, and I have nothing to hide.
Love,
Christi

Christi, I don't have any answers for you, but your concern for your niece is so sincere that I would think you could talk to her about healthy eating and exercise. If you come to her with the understanding and knowledge that you have gained, it may help her to reach her destiny of greatness. I don't think anyone "lets" people get overweight, but we do enable it when we cram junk food and fast foods into them instead of meals.
Some parents are just not engaged; that's when other loved ones need to step in and see if they can help. I wish you the best in your journey and in helping your niece with hers.
