  • Too often, our families tell us that their main objection to our "lifestyle" is that we'll get hurt or our children will get hurt. And too often, the most hurt we and our families endure is from the family members who say they want to prevent that hurt. Their children can't come to our weddings, they ask us to hide from…

  • first, don't beat yourself up. This is HARD work you are doing! An urge to eat may not last all that long. get a stopwatch or timer and say, if I still need something in 20 minutes, maybe I can have a little. distract yourself for 20 minutes, then eat only what you planned to eat. If you want more, you're going to have to…

I keep mine well out of reach so I have to…

Because we live in a very liberal progressive area and know lots of other 2 mom/2dad families, we really haven't hit any Gay family specific issues yet. Now that he's in kindergarten, and I volunteer in his classroom, I do get questions from the kids about his (non-existent)…

  • This is a challenge for me, too. Here's what I do. Wear a pedometer, and try to get a certain number of steps per day. some people aim for 10,000, but you need to start where you are. Wear one for a day, and then see how many steps at the end, and then add 1000 steps as a goal. Then here's how I meet that goal in the…
