Default It wasn't so bad

I think because they have only been here since thursday, things are not as bad as they could be if they were staying longer. (they are leaving tomorrow) My mother baked a chicken and attempted to force feed me a plate of food. She literally stood over me last night while I ate. She then stood over me while I puked. She thought I was starving myself but now understands i just CANT eat like I use to. Now she gets it. She says that wile she would like to see me put on another 20 lbs, I am healthy and happy for the most part. She asked me if I have started dating again yet...

I think my niece will stay with me for a few weeks. She and her mom are having a tough time getting a long right now. I dont mind having her here. She is very helpful and it will be a nice change for Kayla (having someone else around)

Well, I am sure I will have more stories once they leave. Right now, I am EXHAUSTED and i think dehydrated. I need to work on replenishing some energy AND fluids. I will catch up with you all in a day or two.

Thanks for all the well wishes and positive thoughts. It has helped.

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

I am so glad that all has worked out for you. You are so lucky to still have a mom, I would give anything to just have even one more day with my mom. (We would probably spend it arguing cuz that is what we did best!LOL) I do miss her every day though!

Glad you're having a reasonably good time. I'm sorry you were sick though from the food. The pics look great. Your mom is a very attractive woman. Yay for having your niece around for the summer.. it'll be fun for Kayla.

I am glad everything turned out ok for you and sorry that you got sick on the food, at least your mom understands now why you can only eat so much. You have a beautiful family and you look so beautiful.

At least now your mom understands! She just had to find out the hard way, didn't she? lol I'm glad things worked out better than you thought. It's nice to have family, even if you don't always get along.

That is awesome!! I have been worried that you might lock yourself up in your bedroom for the duration. Sounds like a great time had by all.

Well ~ this is quite the milestone It had to be hard, but at least it's a lesson learned for mom. As a parent, you know how much you care for your daughter and I'm sure your mom has those same deep feelings for you too ~ maybe it's just the expression of them that needs work! My Dad and I always had a challenging relationship, I could never live up to what I thought I should be in his eyes!!!! It wasnt until I was about your age that I realized that wasnt my problem, it was his! Once I got past that, our relationship improved - not because he changed, but because I did (my way of thinking and not being hurt or feeling like less of a person or a failure~~so much, still working on that one in general). Anyway, glad everything is working out well ~ take care of you, this weekend had to be emotionally exhausting ~ don't forget your vitamins
