It must be so so so hard for you, with your daughter being the way she is, is there any other things that could help like Talking Therapies (CBT, counselling) or group therapy or support groups for people with her condition?
This is the biggest problem .... our daughter has zero insight ... she thinks it is everyone else. So she will not go to any support groups (because she is not like them she thinks). During her schooling as a occupational therapist. .. she actually volunteered at mental health places ... so she does not see herself as being this way. She does go to counseling at least ... but this therapist only lets our daughter talk about what she wants to talk about. I've been trying to get her to go to someone trained in CBT ... but again ... she does not think she needs that. So many times, we feel so helpless. She still blames us at times ... even when we've had 5 doctors tell her this is all genetic .. that we did not do anything wrong. When we first found out about her diagnosis, I went to group support for myself, but I found it to be so very depressing, so I quit going. It is very hard ... we feel pretty helpless, and all we can do is be there for her, and work and save enough money so hopefully she will not be on the streets someday
But you are so right ..... it ends now! We have to take care of ourselves before we can help anyone else. Day 1 today ... right!!! I did so good last year until Halloween .... and I think thats the problem for me. I am about 15 pounds from being out of "overweight", so a part of me says this is enough ... but another part, darn, I want to get those 15 pounds off! I actually would like to get 25 off ... but its one pound at a time.
well ... guess I better get back to work! Hope you are doing great today??? Remember the water!!!!
Struggling with the water a bit!
It's 8.45, I've only had 3! If I can get 6 in before bed ill call that a success because it's more than I've been having recently!
Kitchen is CLOSED.1 -
Having such a long boring day at work. I am looking forward to having some challenges in my life again. I feel like I'm killing brain cells by the minute. I did just go for a quick little walk to get outside for 15 minutes and to try to wake myself up. LOL 33 Degrees, not as hot as yesterday and certainly not as smoky. I'll probably go for a walk tonight.1
-
So it's been exactly 1 hour since I last posted.
In that time I had one extra snack which I thought would be okay, it wasn't, it left me in -4 calories. But I was determined to be in the Green so I've just done 1 minute of jumping Jack's and I'm now at +7!
I also got in 5 cups of water, totalling me at 8 for the day!
My stomach is sloshing a bit lol!
I thought the night was over and ruined and I thought ah well never mind
Well just goes to show how much can change in an hour!
And that is how it's done people.

Rubbish evening for me. I’m an emotional wreck as the girls have never been abroad without me and my older daughter really didn’t want to go. I know they will have fun but I just feel a bit sad and sometimes I struggle with the fact that they now have to live two separate lives.
Anyway, a fail on emotional eating (I found the biscuits!) but otherwise an ok day. Not actually going to post goals for the weekend beyond getting in a bit of activity and fresh air. I’m actually currently a bit underweight after pushing so hard with exercise and worrying about maintenance. I think I just need to try and look after myself a bit. I have bought a couple of novels and am going to see my boyfriend after more than a month so hoping for some rest and good company to distract me.
Friday goals
- stay positive!
at least I was positive in front of the girls
- Morning workout ✅
- April to August challenges good for water and outside activity, not so much on the rest!
- Have a lovely day with the girls ✅
- Get them to his place for 7pm ✅
- Rest ✅ earlier this afternoon. But stress since then
Weekend goals
- stay active
- Eat mindfully but make sure it’s enough
- Be kind to myself
Happy Friday to you all - sorry to be such a grump! X2 -
JFT:
Sorry so late, today has been to goofy to post. I'm too stressed and depressed to contribute. Sorry, I'll try again tomorrow.

I wish we had the Hallmark channel here. I love their movies when one happens to be aired. Sounds like s great treat!1 -
Noon on Saturday- held the line yesterday even eating out on everything but sodium. I have been to one y water class and then messed around with kid to get in 25 more minutes in pool today. I weed ate a tiny bit of street edge for an old lady and then I have sat. 4 cups of water in-I just have to have ice to drink any large amount.
I am going to do practically nothing this day--a bit down and so I am trying not to eat to pass time.
Plan for Sunday-- 1. Don't be late for church. 2. Toe the line on calories-vegetables, salad. 3. Drink lotsa water.
4. Go to cemetery and talk to husband. 5. Take out trash. 6. Mend son's stuffed animals that the dog chewed.
Sorry to hear of those who are down--I go there too (well, I sort of live there) but things are bearable these days and I have to just sort of wade through. This just for today plan is very good for me as it is a manageable chunk. I will add in a bit to my prayers with you in mind.

JFT Saturday
- 8 glasses of water ✔️
- Be in the green✔️
- Close kitchen 9pm!✔️
- Fill in paperwork and post.❗Priority❗✔️
Yay all completed!
Well I still have 2 glasses of water to have but I'll definitely have them before bed. I had to drink about 5 in an hour again lol! I've peed like 4 times, but Ive stuck to my goal!
It's really boosting my mood getting back on track!
Tbh I started feeling nauseous every day and couldn't figure out what it was, (nope not pregnant again.. . I checked LOL) but I think it was too much thyroxine because I've reduced my dose today and haven't felt sick? Soooo maybe. So need to book a blood test and see where that's at!
I hope everyone's met their goals today!
Just because it's weekend doesn't mean its any different! It's still 24 hours like any other day so treat it like any other day!
We can do this!
Love to you all!3 -

Oh, all that smoke is potentially coming from my direction,
My house smells like smoked food. At least it's cooled down a bit, we got 1mm of rain this afternoon. There was also a lot of thunder so hopefully no extra wildfires because that amount of water really wouldn't help. 0 -
Nice to see you here! Yes that smoke is coming from BC it’s raining very lightly here right now.
