Friends: Season 5--New perspectives

[SadBurl]

Hi Betsy.

First things first.

And please, I need help with the weight issue....bought some cortislim (suupposedly stops the cortisol hormone from adding weight)

GD1 don't take these things.
1: They are a waste of money (I think the 5lbs gain will show that)
2: You don't know what harm they are doing to your health.

Sorry if I sound like a school teacher but this is soemthing I'm very passionate about. I'm afraid the only way to weight loss and to keeping it off and more importantly good health is a well balanced diet (Lots of fruit and veg and cut out the fatty foods) and exercise (it don't need to be a gym or sweaty aerobics (YUK!) walking is excellent). Have you tried weight watchers? I found this a great help. I lost 2 stone and have managed to keep it off for 2 years. Ok I'm off my soap box now.

It would have been easy to say to him when he offered to take D7 (giving into my fear of letting go), "No, D7 and I have plans with her friend and her mother."

Reading your last posts I can see that letting MrW take D7 has been a big step for you and one that has made him very happy. I realise it must be very hard for you with D7 difficulties but I think it is important for you to "let go" and let MrW take care of her. I know she is a very special girl but remember she is very special to both of you. He will look after her and enjoy your time alone even if it is just to sleep. Keep up the great communication you just seem to know what and when to say it(I Can't wait to reach that stage)

Oh by the way Yes that fear is irrational and you know it. Keep learning.

God bless
