Update
I just wanted to come on and update on me. First, I want to stress something to all the parents out there a very important matter. Have you discussed secrets with your children? You know letting them know what is a secret they can keep and one they have to tell. I know you think it will never come into play with your child but believe me it can. My son came to me last night telling me his friend was cutting herself. He did the right thing by telling me. I emailed the teacher and she is trying to get the girl some help. My son even talked to the principal who applauded him for doing what was right. We also explained to him the consequences of telling but that they far outweighed the risks of not telling especially with cutting. Talk to your children because you just may save a life. If your child does come to you with it, please do something. Get the ball rolling.
Ok, enoug about that. I gained .2 pounds last week. I’m not surprised. It’s been really hectic with my new job and all. I’m trying to keep up with everything and my sanity and I think i’m losing the sanity. LOL!!! I’m back on track diet wise so I’m happy about that. It does make a difference when you journal. I didn’t journal last week and did awful. I am journaling this week and will hopefully do better.
I hope you all are doing good.

Wow, first I would like to say you look great in your before and after pictures. I couldn’t agree with you more on talking to your children. Thank God he did the right thing. My sister was a cutter but she got help and hasn’t done it in a long, long time.
Hi Shelley,
Thanks for the reminder. I have talked to my 8 year old but haven’t with the 4 year old quite yet. It’s great that your son did the right thing even though I know it was a hard decision. I know you must be proud of him. Don;t worry about your WI this week–you are already back on track and it will come off with some extra this week!!!!! YOu are doing great!!!! Hang in there!
Your son did the right thing. Safety first, secrets second.
So proud of your son and of the mom that helped him be so smart and caring! You will get back on track now that you are journaling. New jobs are so stressful - find lots of ways to take care of yourself without too much food
You are doing great Shelley and the patches of indulging happen, but you just take care and do your best. I see you are raising a good son. Truly my heart goes out when I hear such things. Take care and a little pat on your son’s back for being so brave and compassionate. I am starting to have more faith in the world these days and I am happy to hear that one person in need is going to be getting some help. You rock!
Have a great rest of the week.
You did the absolute right thing. Bless you.
WOW I sure applaud him for telling someone about that! That had to be a hard thing to do.
