The media makes me feel like all marriages are doomed to fail, so why worry myself with the train wreck that is bound to happen? I already have one divorce under my belt, that's enough for me. I know deep down I should not think like that...!!!

Just introducing myself! Carol from Arkansas - I've been in MFP for about 2 months and single for over 6 years. Feel free to add me for support! I need it and love looking at everyone's food diary for ideas.... *cheers*

Well, right now we are on the same page....I've not been in a serious relationship since my marriage ended in 2006, and I don't want to be in one. I take that back, it's not that I don't WANT to be in one - but I don't want to put forth the energy and time, as we all know - being a single parent is extremely time…

I totally have this problem!! Only I didn't realize it was a problem until just now, because I think I've always been doing it :/ My son and I have different tastes in food, but he eats healthy.

Yikes! I have the opposite problem, mine says he never wants a 'step dad', he just wants it to be me and him. His dad is re-married and they have 2 children together - he is okay with that, but protective of his mom. I just tell him it's in God's hands.

I am 5'6" - I am aiming for 150 lbs. That's a loose size 10 for me and my closet is already full (was my previous size before gaining to a 14/16).

Single mom here! I've been single for over 6 years, my son is almost 9. I suffer from anxiety and am a 'stress eater', the past couple years have been especially rough for me and I ended up gaining 55 lbs. My wake up call is NOW - my blood pressure is getting out of control (due to weight gain and stress). My strengths are…

We (my son and I) are social butterflies. It gets better when they are older (he is 8). I go out and have girl time on weekends he is with his dad and then I get together with friends/family and all the kids on weekends he is home, even if it's just hanging out grilling. When they become involved in sports you meet people…

I'm going to try weighing in daily, I started this fitnesspal a few months ago and haven't been very dedicated :( I'm scared of the scales these days!!!!! When I weight in 'from time to time' the scales seem to always go up!
