Today is hard for me

Today is going to be very hard for me. Today is my daughter's 21st birthday. It's been over a year since I've seen or heard from her. I love her and miss her very much. I really think her boyfriend's family is a bad influence on her for talking her into abandoning our relationship. All I can do is hope she will see the light some day.

But I will not eat emotionally today. I have a day of healthy meals and snacks planned and will stick to that plan. I think Kit will get an extra walk today too.
 

I am very sorry to hear about your daughter.  I have gone through the same situation with my daughter, but the bad relationship did not last as long as your has.  I will keep you in my prayers. 

Stay strong and don't turn to food for comfort - stick to your plan!

Hugs,

Lori

I can't remember exactly but isn't there a poem about let them go and they will come back?  It has to be hard to have them go but someday, she will realize and she will come back to you, I truly believe this.  Just be ready with those arms open! 

Have faith, it it will happen !

I am so sorry to hear about your relationship with your daughter.  I don't have any children but I can imagine how hard this is for you.  Hopefully as she gets older she will understand you only have one Mother.  Hopefully over time you will be able to reconcile. 

Meanwhile, good job on having a plan in place because you knew today would be difficult for you.  Keep up the good work!!! 

Once upon a time I was the daughter in this scenario. My mom and I had a rough time of it for a while but now we´re the greatest friends ever. There´s hope. Hang in there.

And stick to your goals. A happier you will certainly keep you strong in these times.

All my best.
