1st day newbie who works from home

storywebber

Good morning. I was school librarian but now I am a stay-at-home person who is currently writing a novel for middle grade students. I am hoping to discover ways to help me lose weight and encouragement when dealing with family issues (a grown daughter who has a mental illness, bent on destroying her life, has two young children she has no real interest in except for a day or two a month). My other 2 girls are just fine people.

I currently weigh around 242 lbs. I am in the beginning of COPD, have high blood pressure which is medicine resistant, diabetes type 2 which has destroyed my teeth. I have a husband who purchases my favorite candy, bag of it, for gift giving occasions and just when he thinks about it (as in last night). So no support there because he knows about my desire to lose weight.

My mom use to say, "As long as you are breathing, you still have hope." Hope is about all I have. Feeling or being negative I have plenty of.
