in the dumps :(
I just want you to be aware this will be a bit long and bit of a "debbie downer ". I'm Jenny and my son is a drug addict. He started using at about age 15. We had our typical teenage attitude and behaviour. But as the drug use became more evident the behaviour became worse. Skipping school, failing grades, and breaking…

weigh day
Im wondering what day you log your weight? I have been doing Monday thinking it would keep me more accountable. Most times it does. This past weekend I went to a wedding and had a family day away from home and wasn't overly careful with what I ate. I logged anyway of course. However my weekends are not structured like my…

one small success at a time
So after 2 weeks of our new lifestyle I had dinner with friends. We went out to a buffet of all places. And while im feeling a bit guilty it was a bit of a success as well. Normally at this buffet I would have eaten 3-4 pieces of pizza, mashed potatoes, gravy, fried chicken, and atleast 4 pieces of dessert pizza. Today I…

Just getting started
Hi, my name is Jenny and I'm an overeater. About 6 years I went on a mission to lose 120 pounds. Over the course of 18 months I had lost 70. At that time my son started using drugs (he was 16). Over the past 4 years my son became an addict and our lives went to hell, and I mean a living hell. During that time, he was…
