I have friends like that...where stuff just always seems to work out splendidly for them. *sigh* Definitely not the hand I've been dealt. I think the band is just what you need for food preoccuptation. My doc described the band as a food lobotomy. You just don't think about it when it's working. I found when I had good restriction, this was true for me. I need a fill also.

My neighbor was having difficulty with her almost gone from home sons a while back and she said something totally jokingly but sometimes so spot on with the feelings of a parent who is in a rough spot with kids...her words.."if I had known raising kids was this tough and never seemed to end I would have had a dog instead" :)<br /><br />it sounds bad a in know..but I often think about that quote when my daughters are being a pain in my backside :)<br /><br />xxxoooTinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16965135571189867376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822717385980423235.post-87154435246549545382011-05-19T19:07:31.763-07:002011-05-19T19:07:31.763-07:00Well appreciate the sun even if you're at work...Well appreciate the sun even if you're at work. It's been raining here forever - I'm building an ark. <br />Sometimes we know people who seems to get all the breaks, but I try to keep in mind that they have things going on in my life I don't know about.

The best thing to do is to not compare ourselves with others at all...because there is always someone who has more, is thinner, does _________ better. I know that's hard to keep in mind. I definitely struggle. But if we could master it, that would be our ticket to more happiness and contentment with what we have. I hope I'm not preaching there. Like I said, I'm part of the group that needs to follow that advice!MBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06330362430647878821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822717385980423235.post-90507765948235878832011-05-19T17:36:31.520-07:002011-05-19T17:36:31.520-07:00Yay you with your sunny weather!!

(that's a bit of a stretch, it was beautiful all week two weeks ago! :)<br /><br />I don't have kids, so I don't think it's bad of you at all to acknowledge the feelings that these kids should experience losing occasionally. As Tessie said above, losing teaches important life lessons. While winning is great and fun and definately feels better than losing...losing is an important step in learning and growing and being a successful human being when they are adults. Your kids are going to be great adults. : )Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04445662188443874065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822717385980423235.post-61690909189802186162011-05-19T13:46:44.030-07:002011-05-19T13:46:44.030-07:00I have a very close friend who's daughter was ...I have a very close friend who's daughter was a super star athletically and intelectually, she never experienced a losing team or a bad grade. When she got out of high school and experienced a little bit of real life, she couldn't handle it. Two stints in rehab later, she's doing much better, but I just think that when children know early on what life is really like, the do better in the long run. I'm obsessed with food too right now, maybe it's in the air!Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07794746954511347596noreply@blogger.com
