Hello everyone! My name is Cindy and I am a stay at home mom (who never seems to be home) to 4 kids ages 15 to 5. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism when pregnant with my youngest. I thought I was so tired because I was 40 and pregnant. After the baby was born the OB took me off synthryoid and didn't test me. The next…

I am making a committment to spend doing a 10/10. Praying for 10 minutes and reading the Bible for 10 minutes. I already do spritual reading because of the book club at my parish but I want to make sure that I do this every day not just some days. I am hoping that Advent will be a start that doesn't end.

I know where you are coming from. I am trying to make this a life style change but will I be able to control the cravings and if I eat one bite of something then eat the whole bag will it all be over. I have 50 more pounds to lose but I think about it. I have yo-yoed so much I keep thinking "will it stick this time?". But…

I am thankful for my family especially my wonderful husband. I am thankful that I live in a country that has freedom of speech and religion. I am thankful for all the blessings God has given me.

I am also looking forward to the new translation. Father Gary has been giving us information about it for a year. I think that the change is going to be beautiful. I also think that I personally have gotten complacent in the Mass. With 4 kids to watch and make sure they are behaving I often just say the words because they…

You are in a tough situation. I don't have an elderly person that I am caring for but I have 4 kids that I am trying to keep up with. For dinner I try to use my crock pot as much as possible. For lunches I try to keep things easy...sandwiches, fruit and baby carrots ( that is what my kids have in their school lunches…

This story that I am writing isn't really a miracle but to me it was a sign from God that I was doing his will: On January 12th of 2011 a friend of mine (Lisa) was fatally shot in the back of her head by her husband. He called the police and was arrested shortly after. Her funeral was a couple of weeks later. After her…

The funny thing is that I don't push my faith on anyone. I live as a devote Catholic. Yet people tell me that I am judgemental even though I have never talked to them about how they live their lives. It seems that it is assumed that you are judgemental just because you are living a Christian life. I do shelter my children…

I have decided to get rid of the dresses. I am going to take them to a consignment shop so hopefully I will get a little money to spend on new clothes. I am trying to make this a life style change. I know that I need to exercise for the rest of my life. I am trying out different programs to see which one fits me and that I…

I am so happy to find you all. I have been on MFP since July and have been looking for other Catholics. I am a cradle Catholic who was not catechized. My dad was a cradle Catholic who stopped going to Mass after Vatican 2. My mom converted to Catholicism in 1967 (bad time to convert). While I was in high school we never…

Hello. I am a 46 yo Mom to 4 kids ages 15, 14,10 and 5. I have been overweight most of my life. I started gaining weight in the 3rd grade. I went on my first diet at age 13. It was a starvation diet and as soon as I stopped the diet I gained back everything and more. In my 20's I went on another starvation diet but added…
