Don;t beat yourself up! Help them with what you can (which I'm sure you are doing), but as a parent, you can only control so much. Our children are unique, individual people with minds of their own. Yes, they have our guidance and influence, but if they have problems of any kind (and they will - there are NO perfect children or parents) all you can do is support them, offer them assistance, and lead by example. Hugs! I hope your family is healthy and happy soon.
My 12yo son is so scrawny, he borders on underweight (5'7and 1/4" and 98lbs). I wonder sometimes if people look at him, then look at my fat self, and think that I am under-feeding him due to my obvious weight issues.
I only wonder this occasionally, and it's freaking genetics (my husband was 6' and 135lbs when he left for college and he grew up eating hot dogs/cheese dogs, kraft dinner, grilled cheese and buttered spaghetti as his staple meals). The boy pounds down ridiculous amounts of food daily.
My 9 year old daughter is a twig and eats WAY more food then I do. *pouts*0 -

Interesting....
I CANNOT touch wood! Finished wood like a coffee table is fine, but no kind of raw wood! When my daughter left for school this fall, I had to search high and low for a rolling pin made of marble! If the wood is wet, it is even worse, just looking at it will give me goosebumps!
And do not even get me started on ice cream on a stick! ONE OF MY WORSE NIGHTMARES! I cannot even watch other people eat it without cringing!
I cannot touch cotton balls or stryofoam. If I have bloodwork done, I asked for a piece of tissue and if a package has &@#%ing styrofoam, my husband has to unpack it while I cover my ears and sing so I can't hear it.

My confession is that this sentence kind of broke my brain.
Also that I like the pinecone thing.
I cannot stand touching corduroy. I totally get the "gag" aspect that you are talking about.
Also, the grammar error that makes me cringe is "I seen that." When you start a sentence with "I seen...", I am automatically going to assume that you are not going to end it with, "the inside of a book." I see, I saw, I have seen!0 -
I'm taking my daughter to the movies tonight and I think I might have movie nachos. I love those nasty things.
I don't know if it will fit in my day and I don't really care...0 -

Last night my fiance and I had a big ol' fight. He left and picked up dinner for himself, nevermind that I took out meat and made dinner plans. Soooo I didn't eat dinner, I was so angry, and so hungry but I just couldn't go out into the living area in order to cook up a meal for one, while we were both seething in rage in a small space.
Luckily, I have been over my calories the days prior so it put me back on track for the week, but I know it's not healthy, so I am eating a good sized portion of breakfast today.
Confession: I'm still angry, so angry, but he wasn't, so I swallowed that down and am willing myself to get over it
Uh oh! Now you're going to get accused of promoting domestic violence! Not from me obviously. I've just seen it happen here (and I just shake my head in disbelief).0 -
I came to the gym and the squat racks are all in use as freaking usual so I can't lift. So I an doing cardio on the stationary bike so that I can dink on MFP while I work out.0

ugh...people...green. Green gummy bears, green apple jolly ranchers, sour apple dumdums...go green! Unless it's a sucker from Frisch's Big Boy or a popsicle, then go orange. After that comes purple. Then red. But never blue or yellow.
I get super pissed off if I eat a green candy (which to me, means it should be freaking lime or lemon-lime) and it's some bullcrap sour apple or watermelon "flavor". ICK!!!
Green as spearmint is also okay.
Skittles are the only candy where I like red more than green.

I hate most green candies. The only green apple-flavored thing I will eat is a caramel apple sucker. I also dislike most orange-flavored things except for creamsicles and chocolate-orange combo. I hate watermelon anything. My favorite Starbursts are strawberry, cherry, and lemon.0 -
After about 3 months and 30 pounds, coworkers started commenting on my weight. I was surprised that several people asked me "why" I decided to lose weight since I "wasn't that bad before". I have no good answer to that. It is probably 60% for appearance reasons, 25% because I enjoy it, and 15% because of my health. But I don't want to sound like a narcissist and actually be honest about all that.

I don't have an avatar because I am still embarrassed of how I look after 70 lbs.
I think my (thin) parents love me more when I am thinner than when I am fat.
My biggest fear is that my son will grow up to be fat and unhealthy and that it will be all my fault.
My (overweight) husband thinks he is super-supportive, but he often sabotages my progress because he doesn't want to have to change.
I never buy new clothes for myself because I don't feel like I deserve them...because I am still too fat (and probably always will be.
I cried when I read some of the painful confessions some MFP members made and also laughed out loud at some (and read them all while my students were taking a test.)0 -

Like with an "a" at the end. It irks me a lot more than it should but every time he says it, the throat punch urge becomes really strong with me.
Much like @tincanonastring I overreact to insignificant things.
That's a very common pronunciation of Missouri, especially for people who live in the Ozarks.
I get it though, I want to throw my laptop through the window every time I see "Your" used instead of "You're". It's incredibly common. I have no idea how people get away with this and have jobs.
I have a staff of editors at my company, and I have had TWO people apply, saying that they are, "detailed orientated."
...yet apparently not detailed oriented enough...
I lady who works in my old department refers to the life squad as an "ambliance." She also calls lemurs "madagascars." There's a whole list of these but I can't remember them off the top of my head.
my mum says digikal, fa-ji-tas etc there are others as well

I am irked by someone very close to me who constantly says "supposebly" instead of "supposedly".
Or "morris code" instead of "morse code", same person ...
Not saying I am not guilty of mistakes, verbally, grammar, etc..

and ...
"Morris Code" instead of "MORSE code".
I know someone who is guilty of both all.the.time.

confession: I can't stand being trickled, I get so worked up, scream, get angry and out of breath. My partner does it for the fun of it, so I just push him out the bed. I hate being touched/stroked on my shoulders, sides, back or stomach. I'm too darn sensitive.0

I haven't except for once or twice as a kid at a friend's house. I never understood the appeal.

I tend to not want to be "friends" with people who have tons of friends tagged to their accounts, I don't want to be a part of their collection.0

azulvioleta6 wrote: »azulvioleta6 wrote: »Confession: Before I had brain surgery, I did not like chocolate at all. Actually, a lot of my taste perception changed. Especially at first, I found really spicy things (not hot spicy...lots of spices spicy) completely overwhelming.
??? Oh wow, what did you have and why? As usual, I understand if you don't want to share. I also think you're the poster that can speak 12+ languages, is that correct? How did the surgery affect your speech and language? I would love to speak that many languages, but apparently I like being lazy more. Sad.
I had a craniotomy after a ruptured aneurysm. Yes, I am multilingual. The surgery did not have much impact on my speech or language abilities, but I did have some memory problems, especially in the first year afterwards. My short-term memory was horrible for a while. I lost most of the language that I had learned most recently, which was Russian, but everything else seems to be intact. I still don't totally trust my memory, but I am beginning to suspect that it isn't any worse than most people's memories.
I was able to overcome most of the small deficits that I had after the surgery. It's amazing how plastic the brain is and how much we are able to adapt. My biggest challenge is that I have some frontal lobe damage and hence less impulse control. I can't really hide my emotions anymore, and that makes it harder to get along with people. I've been told that it also makes me funnier.
I must also have some frontal lobe damage, as I seem to have no filter. I have always been one to speak my mind, never worried about what others thought of me. I have actually had to train myself, as an adult, to think before I speak, so as to not needlessly hurt others. I have come a long way, but it is still something I am very conscious of every day.0 -
I was going to skip dinner because of my huge lunch, but I had a nap... and always wake up hungry from naps. And I read this thread. So now instead of the veggies and shrimp I had planned for dinner, I'm having chocolate fudge pop tarts filled with chocolate brownie gelato and it's delicious. And totally over my maintenance calories. Oh well.0

Someone mentioned spearmint... I can't stand the smell of spearmint. If it's anywhere around me I get an instant headache and feel nauseous. And then I get angry about it because it makes me feel so crappy. Once I was getting into my brother's car & I accused him of using spearmint chapstick because I could smell it. Turns out he'd just stepped in some gum - it was stuck to his shoe & I could smell it instantly.0

Strawberry poptarts are my favorite. S'mores are a close second.
ETA: now I also want poptarts0 -
I lost my Fitbit already. My son wanted to look at it and now it's been days.
Also, I have a weekend alone in the house sans kids, husband and even the dog. I am already planning terrible things. Maybe it's a good thing I lost my fitbit as I am definitely playing video games, taking uninterrupted baths and watching Netflix... Not too many calories lost this weekend...0 -

My mom is the same way. She came home from the store the other day and was pissed because her cashier was chewing spearmint gum.
I have become addicted to cheddar Special K cracker chips. They are so good.0 -
I have been so good with my calories etc. Last night with friends, wine and cheese for dinner. I am a cheese addict so I don't have it at home as I will eat chunks of it. Anyway woke up today feeling like S*** with a cheese hangover ... so gross. I think this is almost worse than a wine hangover...
I think I probably ate 3 x times my calorie allowance. didn't log it.0
