Guest guest Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 Donna: I was just looking at the photos section, and I saw your before and after pics! OMG! What a difference. You must be so happy with your accomplishment! I've been reading your posts about your husband, and I find them particularly painful not only for you but for me. I think I've mentioned my brother who has been on meds for over 20 years due to mental illness. My parents take care of him, and it's taken a toll on them. And just yesterday, when I went home for my brother's birthday, my Mom told me that she is thinking of divorcing my Dad. I talked myself through the whole afternoon, being mindful of what I was eating (and NOT eating). When I got in the car to go home, I was hungry, and thank God I have developed the skill to ask myself, " Why are you hungry? Is it because of spending time at your parents' home? Or is it because you're physically hungry? " It was head hunger, and I put on some relaxing music and enjoyed the ride home (highway 280 North is really beautiful). And I drank some water. Anyway, you're in my prayers. And you have my support in your journey. Francisco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 Francisco Thanks for the nice words, and it is hard and will get better. God and time will make it all work out. Thanks again. Take care, and I to understand all you mean with your brother and parents. I know this is hard on my boys, but they are so supportive. You'll be in my prayers also.
