It turns out that this is one of the worst days of my life. And in my life, that's saying a lot. I just found out that my teenage nephew is missing and search teams have been looking for him since yesterday afternoon. He sent a message to a friend of his on snapchat that he was thinking of harming himself, then disappeared. He's a beautiful, highly intelligent, sweet child who, unfortunately, has been raised by my alcoholic sister and her abusive husband. I haven't seen him since last Thanksgiving because they live 1,200 miles away. I really feel like I've been kicked in the stomach because I have a bad feeling that this isn't going to have a happy ending.
So sorry you are going through this. I have a nephew who's been in so much trouble his whole life...honest to God I don't know how he's managed to stay alive this long...he's 19. Must have an angel on his shoulder. Saying a prayer for your nephew, that he might have one too.
Well said. I, too, hope the best for your nephew. Continue to be strong and have faith.0 -
I hope your nephew shows up soon, safe and sound!
Your story is amazing. 104 pounds down? You rock! I want to lose at least 130-150 pounds (maybe more). I ballooned to 330 after my mom died. I've always been big, but never over 300. I have always dealt with my problems through food though and that's how I "coped" when she passed away.
Your story is really inspirational to me. Shows me that losing the weight is definitely possible. Thank you so much for sharing.0 -
Good work! You are an inspiration. Likes some of the others here my family also wonders how come I am the "normal" one in my family! A true inspiration. I too have Type 2 diabetes. The medication is worse. SO I am on insulin at night. My goal is to get of the insulin. I had a motorcycle accident in June. I have torn my ACL, MCL and meniscus. I have a knee operation in December but I am trying to do what excercises I can. I use resitance bands and the recumbent bike! Take caer and keep on going. Watch out for the Halloween candy!

Thank you so much! He's actually been a great kid. Athlete, great grades, musical, etc. But he's living with a dad who's just like my dad. They say women marry men just like their fathers. I didn't, but my sister sure did.
My sister has an older son from her 1st marriage who was abused by this same *kitten* since he was 3. He got real screwed up for a while and got on drugs and alcohol. Did all kinds of stupid stuff and burned a lot of bridges in our family. But he finally got enough of drugs and joined the Marines. So far so good.
