WEDNESDAY GRATEFUL POST

Good Wednesday AM Everyone,

Hope everyone is having a good week.   Mine didn't start out wonderful but on monday I decided it was time for me to get back on the train and get back on track with exercise and eating the way I should.   I am happy to announce I got on the scale this AM and I am down 3 lbs. since monday AM.    It's amazing what I can do when I put my mind to it.   I am SO grateful for this weight loss surgery and the fact that when I log my food and do as I should with exercising that I CAN get weight off.   Before my WLS.....that was pretty much impossible to do.    I am so grateful that finally stress is starting to let up in my life.   Hopefully the sourse of my stress will calm down and live his own life as a adult and quit dumping his problems on me ( my middle son if you haven't guessed that LOL ).    Grateful for my heavenly father and all the prayers that he answers in my life and the strength that he has given me to deal with my middle son's issues and not totally loose my mind in the process.    Grateful for Obesity Help....all the amazing people on these forums giving of themselves daily and sharing their experiences to new ones on here so that sometimes they might not have to go through what some of us did.    Grateful for my life and especially for my WLS that actually gave me my life back.   PLEASE share if you will what you are grateful for today and have a safe and blessed day !!!

I am grateful that my husband and I are on the same page dealing with MY middle child. Makes life so  much easier.

Anne....I guess LOTS of middle children have issues.    I really hope mine gets his act together really soon.  He is almost 28 yrs. old still depending on my husband and I to provide for his needs...such as pay rent and provide him a car.   UGH....I told him yesterday that he is almost 28 and it is time for him to step up to the plate and GROW UP !!!   I'm tired of babysitting a 28 yr. old man.   Glad your husband is on the same page with you.   Mine works nights and "I" pretty much have to deal with it all.   My son was adopted by us from birth from drug addict parents.   He started doing drugs at 11 and continued till we finally got him to go to Teen Challenge at 25.    He's been for the most part drug free for the past 2 + yrs. but he STILL acts like a victim.   I told him he needed to get over it and grow up.   This kid is going to kill me if he doesn't.   He does have 2 jobs now...so hopefully this  will be the last month we have to pay HIS bills.   Oh BTW...we have our youngest son in college too.    I need a calgon take me away moment.  LOL   have a blessed evening.

My girl has a history of really bad choices, she is 27.  History of drug problems also. So I know how you are feeling. She does have the most darling 3 year old and they live with us. She is a good mom, so that is a huge blessing.

My middle son has no children & I hope he doesn't have any till he marries.    Grandchildren are huge blessings for sure.
