    In two days, I'll celebrate being married for six years to my wonderful husband. We've been together for 13 altogether, and I am so blessed and happy to call him mine. He's everything to me :heart:

    I have close and loving relationships in my life, I am strong and healthy.

    Like anybody, life aggravates me at times, but the truth is I have so very much to be grateful for.

    I have the best friends in the whole wide world, and every day I get to work at manifesting my purpose as a shamanic healer :) I love being alive even though it's really, really hard!

    Awesome Thread, Amber!!!!

    I have been with my husband for nine years and married for 7 of them. We have no children together at the moment but, are hoping that we will be blessed by the end of this year. He has three from a previous marriage. My husband is supportive of my weight loss and just the other day told me how proud of me he was. I blushed for an hour afterward! He's even started to make some changes of his own even though he swears he won't diet until a doctor tells him he has to. During this last trip to the grocery store he was picking up things and asking me if it was diet friendly! I love it! I've even got him using heart healthy mayo and eating whole wheat bread and Cheerios!!!! And last night, I caught him dishing out some of my low fat cottage cheese as well! I think before too long he'll be shedding weight too and wondering how? LOL!

    I'm falling behind in my replies due to a little thing called work! Ha ha such a dirty word!
    meghanAm: It is so great that you have someone that seems to understand that you are more than a # on a scale and loves you so completely!!!

    Fell of the wagon - wow this feels like an AA statement - no access to a gym for a bit. Now back at it...and I have dropped 3lbs in 2 days. I know what that really means, but it is nice to be moving in the right direction again.

    There will be no more positivity posted by me. Is is normally against my nature.

    19Sunday was my 19th wedding anniversary. I can't believe we're almost at 20. On one hand, it seems like it could only be five or six, but on the other hand, I can't imagine being with anyone else. I have been with my husband for almost half my life (next year will be half).

    We have had some incredible struggles over the years, and I now that we are up for more. Christmas has been a very tough time the last couple of years. But we are still together.

    Our son, adopted after several years of infertility and social workers, is 13 and a half, and becoming a man. He is taller and heavier than me, delighted to have hair growing in all sorts of places. He has not been an easy child to raise. It is probably a good thing that we were not able to have or adopt any more, because he has taken a huge amount of time and dedication to bring up. He is severely ADHD, lots of learning disabilities and other issues, allergies, etc. As a baby he wouldn't sleep for more than 20 minutes unless he was being held, and even then, it was down at 11 or 12, up every two hours for a bottle, and up for good at 5 or 6 with no daytime naps. We have homeschooled from the start and lived on a single income. He is maturing now, but encountering more serious difficulties out there in the world. But he is my kid and I don't know where I would be without him.

    I have a great job. I've worked with the same boss for 17 years. He is a family man, a man of God, extremely supportive but also demands my very best. I have a warm home to live in, and a car that runs. My body is getting in better shape every day, and my hubby runs with me every weekend. I love to cook, which is a good thing since because of my various allergies and intolerances, I basically can't eat anything I don't make myself.

    I have my faith and my church, and although they keep me busy (yeah, I work full time, homeschool, do all of the cooking from scratch, exercise, and still have time for extra duties at church too -- where does it all come from?) I would be lost without God and faith in my life.

    So that's it. I am so grateful for my life and the challenges I have. Somehow it all works out to my advantage in the end.

    pdworkman(Pam): WONDERFUL! My stepson has ADHD and I definately understand the struggles that it can bring about, glad to say that he is now 18 and doing just fine! Your post was very refreshing in that with all the struggles that you face you managed to still show it in a happy light! :heart:
