      I feel this exact way about my 4th child. She can be so sweet sometimes, but EVERYTHING is a damned battle with her. I cannot possibly convey how mule-obstinate she can be about the smallest things. It doesn't help that the older three (one of whom has to share a room with her) have figured out how to trigger her demon rages.

      All her teachers love her though, so I am occasionally "grateful" she saves her insanity for her father and I mostly.

      My daughter was the same way... until this year. Now she's driven her teacher mad a couple times too, and she basically doesn't participate or talk in class. Ugh... Hopefully next year is better...

      I decided to try the stationary bike at the gym today.... it was almost successful in murdering my butt. I thought the stationary bike was going to be easy after 40 minutes of stairmaster, but nope!!! They need to invest in some comfy seats so my tush can stop screaming at me.

      I did the stationary bike at the gym once... Found out what it's like when your intimate parts fall asleep... and how really odd it is when you start getting sensation in them again. Haven't tried it since... The funny thing is that my $100 stationary bike at home doesn't bother me one bit!

      Russell Stover also has these amazing S'More bars that come out around Summertime.

      I had to stop at a hospital today and saw a buncha Russell Stover big bars like this at the gift shop. I was really interested in this one:

      It double posted again...

      I admit I haven't dared trying the Russel Stover stuff. I'm picky about my chocolate, and it's always seemed like a cheap brand to me.

      Triple posted :p

      I wasn't a fan of the Russel Stover assorted chocolate box I received a while back. That really tasted cheap.

      And yes, exactly. I'm kinda weary of any chocolate you can buy at $1 a box of 4.

      The good thing about working out at the gym as that I really, really ''don't want my hard work to go to waste.'' I find I eat better on these days, even if my chocolate cravings are now going through the roof. I couldn't get a Kit Kat Chunky today, but I am definitely hardcore thinking about getting one tomorrow. Or any chocolate, really!!! I'll try my hardest to limit myself to one bar :lol:

      I have a ''sort of'' stationary bike at home. It doesn't have a seat, it's just the pedals, so it feels a lot more comfortable! Sadly I don't think I get a good workout from using it :( I think I'm just going to stick to the other machines at the gym from now on!

      So I looked up awesome drinks to try in the Dominican Republic, and I found out about the ''dirty monkey,'' which is something I need in my life:
      592hv8n74ddy.jpg
      A drinkable, alcoholic dessert, which I'm sure is extremely dangerous for me. Especially since I'm a lightweight and am prone to drinking my way through alcoholic drinks WAY too fast (''Whoa... where did my wine go?''). Someone at work told me to try the ''mamajuana.'' No idea what that is but it looks to be of a citrus-y nature. Sorry guys, I'm getting terribly excited.

      ... I'm going to gain back every single pound, aren't I?

      I love it. I have a wish list on amazon of all the tank tops I want. I'm thinking this one next: http://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00SYREL5G/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=1TG0MGKMGXKB1&coliid=I6CMOPP982REI&psc=1

      I know we're not supposed to judge posts, but please be kind to your body! Since you asked for advice then I would say to do it sustainably by eating a decent amount & exercising less or with breaks. Think of weight loss as a marathon & not a 100 yard dash. Also since you have more to lose you can get away with eating more & not starving yourself by eating around 1,000 calories. If you don't weigh your food you could be eating more than 1,000 calories & not realizing. My biggest suggestion would be to get a food scale & weigh in grams & ounces & to at least try to net 1,200.

      I weigh EVERYTHING I eat :) I am very strict on myself about this. Do I need to update my profile any? MFP did put my caloric goal between 1000-1200, but I have lost 30lbs since starting, and exercising more.

      I am way behind on this thread.

      I confess that when I was a kid I was the one who would be found eating chips or candy and drinking soda for breakfast at school. Those are the things that I could steal easily (without getting caught) on the way to school. If I didn't do that I didn't eat. Every time I read another thread on these forums I get reminded of this. Now, I don't know if that other kid is in even remotely the same situation I was, but I am saddened at all the people who think that you shouldn't even check in on the child.

      There is a little girl that I spend time with every week who has been in and out of foster care for her entire life (this is not uncommon). The first thing that foster care wants to do is reunite families, but this isn't always a good thing. Her father melted her ears completely off her head and they placed her back in her home after that happened. The only reason she is in care now is because her father dropped dead of a heart attack. Every time I look at one of these kids I'm reminded that most people don't want to get involved and I get so very angry.

      I don't know if this was very coherent and I apologise if not, but I've just come home from one of these visits and I'm very worn down.

      Confession 1: I have lived in coastal Florida for three years now, and I still have not stepped a single toe on the beach.

      Confession 2: I'm eating Talenti salted caramel peanut gelato while I'm writing this.

      I bought one of these on Sunday when it was kind of hot here. It got all melty so when I ate it, it was amazing! I love Russell Stover stuff so much, especially all of the different kinds of egg flavors they do around Easter. I think I tried them all and can't wait for the next holiday! Also fantastic (if you're a caramel fan) are the Caramel Apple Big Bites either garnished with chocolate drizzle or chopped peanuts. I must've eaten about 20 of them this past autumn :)

      I just discovered these last week, YUM

      I hid a pint of Ben & Jerry's Hazed & Confused by putting it an empty bag of frozen vegetables. My kids...husband...looked right past it as I secretly worked on it. Took me about four days to polish it off and I couldn't decide what was more satisfying. The ice cream itself Or having ice cream JUST FOR ME safely, closely, stored in my freezer and no one pestering me to let them have some! Issues, hu? Layed out for you there, clear as can be!

      I think I have found the one type of pain that does not make me want to eat eat eat. (Probably comfort eating, but I digress.)

      My back hurts? My period cramps hurt? My everything hurts? Gimme all the food.

      Migraine? Leave me on the couch to die.

      Wow, I so admire you for stepping up to parent a child you never asked for. You clearly love him and have sacrificed so much for him. I have 4 kids under 10 ( soon to have number 5) but having them was my own choice and I have to deal with it, no matter how hard it can be (and some days I just want to lock myself in the bathroom with a bottle of vodka). I agree that no woman should feel pressured to have children if she doesn't want to. Just because you're born with a womb doesn't mean you're obligated to use it.

      I cannot agree more with that statement. I am 29 years old and am sick and tired of hearing from doctors, friends, and my in-laws that I will change my mind about kids. I haven't wanted kids since I was 16 and my brother had his first daughter. I was basically raising the baby while he and his woman slept and partied until I moved out at 18. In fact one of my mandatory things on my dating profile when I met my husband. We still do not want children, five years later. We enjoy the freedom of not having children, both traveling and financially. My family has multiple hereditary issues that I don't want to pass onto an unsuspecting child, not to mention that I have horribly painful cysts when I do ovulate. However, every time I broach the subject of getting an ovariectomy to remove my right ovary (severe scarring from multiple cysts makes any ovulation on that side extremely painful) and my left tube tied the doctors repeatedly tell me I am too young to make that decision. So let me get this straight...at 18 I can vote, join the US military, marry, and have children, which are all decisions that affect me the rest of my life. But at almost 30 I am too young to decide on something so important as NOT wanting children?

      However, members of his family have found out they cannot have children of their own. While this saddens me, because they truly want kids, I am tired of everyone on his side of the family getting on our case because we are potentially able to have children but are not willing too. The last time this came up they actually suggested that I donate eggs to them (since that is the only reason they cannon have kids).

      *Sorry to vent my spleen on this but it truly does annoy me.

      Edited to fix grammar and quotes.

      I don't have time to reply to the many posts I want to reply to, but just wanted to say this is probably the nicest thread on the internet! Amazingly low on drama for such a long one, and full of kind, encouraging and funny people :)
