I have lost 144 lbs but i still eat sometimes.I try to stay abstinant but sometimes i fail but i will not give up
I am a 42 year old recently divorced mother of a 13 year old son. That sentence in itself says a lot! I am an emotional eater. I crave potatoes (cooked any way but fries are the best) and chinese. These are my favorite comfort foods. I am 50 pounds overweight. I've tried many kinds of diets but I truly understand that I've got to exercise. My problem is I loathe exercising! It makes me depressed to think about doing it but I get depressed when I look in the mirror and see my fat stomach, hips and thighs. My mind is not made up to improve my lifestyle. I know this has to be a lifestyle change not a diet. I've got so many issues emotionally I'm trying to deal with. Some days it is overwhelming. I've enjoyed Dr. Norris' words of encouragement and I've cut out a couple and hung them at my desk and they've helped me deal with some difficult times. I've got such a long way to go! I need to improve from the inside out!
Doctor Chumley: I really appreciate the sensible way that you use to write about life in general.
I enjoy reading your blog everyday.

This comment is for Cynthia who is divorced with a 13 yrd old son. Having raised 4 grown and married children, I'd like to "warn" Cynthia that when a child reaches about 11 yrs old (some later), he will change seemingly overnight. He may seem to ignore or not to understand "everyday English" and seem to be from outer space. With divorce issues in the mix, I'm sure it is more difficult to deal with this child. What I can say is, if this happens, Cynthia, it's not your fault. You are not a bad mother (the question I always asked myself when my kids reached that phase). But you will probably need help to deal with your child beside your divorce. He will still need boundary that you have to give lovingly without yelling or screaming. Don't forget to pray. Best of luck.
Thank you so much for your words of encouragement! At this present day in time, it is so easy to focus on your finanical situation, not being married and/or any illness that you may have. This message spoke to me in helping focus on loving me more. I was watching Joel Osteen on last week and he stated that you have to see yourself coming out of the situation that you may be in and tell your situation, that it is no longer welcomed in your body, house, and mind!
Hi there and let me just say how inspiring you are to me! I appreciate your daily words of wisdom! I am finally losing weight......40 to go, but I lost 6# last month!!! Whoo Hoo!! I am eating just to be satisfied, not STUFFED! That feeling to me now is something that makes me just sick to even think about!!! Move, move, move away from the kitchen is another one of my mottos!!
Blessings,
Barbara
!Hi!
I feel thankful to God because im not alone in this journey.
Not only with my weight but also with my life, family, selfconfidence
Thanks Dr. Norris and all the friends that write in this blog.

Please let me be a part of this group. I am so confused and while I want to lose weight, I am not motivated. I am 64 years old and I want a consistent pattern of behavior that is not destructive. I find your comments encouraging and I want to be a better person, one who encourages others.
My pain today is unbearable. I lost my husband of 47 years just thirty hours ago and I am so numb; I don't believe I can go on without him. He was my rock and I have always been the weak one. All I can think about now is joining him. God help me.
