Hi Angelblessings. I'm glad you started your journal, you're doing great on your weight loss!!!

I'm sorry you're going through a rough time right now. I've been where you're at and I know how hard it is to know if you've made the right decision but you've got to go with your gut and with your heart. Please feel free to e-mail or PM me if you need somebody to talk to.

Hang in there!!!! ((((((HUGS))))))))

firstly i would like to say welcome to the boards, i hope you find writing a journel very helpful, it has helped me alot!!
well done on your weight loss so far, you have done fantastic!!! everyone on here is so helpful and theres always loads of advice!!
You are certainly going through some hard times right now, and i do believe being able to write it down helps as it gives you time to reflect.
You must be so busy with three children and working and going to school, you must be exhausted, My advice to you would be if you can, i know it can be hard with the kids! is try and get some time to unwind just for you,even if it is just for half an hour,

I am sorry to hear you are going through some hard times.

Dr. Phil had a segment on how to know when it's over...here's the article

I hope it helps you somewhat.

I also just wanted to congratulate you on your weight loss so far and for taking a step towards a healthy lifestyle change.

Hi!
First of all, congratulations on the weight loss you have already achieved. I think that is awesome! Men...cant live with them, cant live without them. You will know in time if you have made the right decision or not. Do what is best for you and your children. Dont let anyone else tell you otherwise.
Sounds like we have another "Spark Plug Mama" on the boards. How do you find time to study?? I dont think you came here looking for motivation. You have already lost a ton of weight. I think you came here in search of people who will support the positive foundation that you have already built for yourself. Every day you continue with the positive choices you have been making, the foundation will become stronger and tougher to break. Just make sure that you dont turn that foundation into a fortress where nobody can see/find the real you. Dont let life tear you down, or let you live in fear. Instead, let it build you back up into a pillar of strength!! Keep us posted with your progress.
