Well to those that made the comments to me , I have done most of what you have all said. She moved her stuff out to her Grandparents (my exs parents). I have told her in NO uncertain terms will I tolerate her attitude with me. She did call and was mean so I politly said good-bye have a wonderful day and hung up, she tried to call back I ignored it as well as the mean text messages. I wrote her a letter and said That until she can respect me I called it Tough love in my letter that is what she will get, I explained to her that I LOVE her very much and that will never change but I belive in my heart this is what in teh end will make her a better person. That she needs to go and be an adult without knowing that mom will be there to catch her, god knows most of the world figured it out so she should be ok. As for spending MOM time with her, I am positive she never felt she didn't get enough of my attention, simply because in between being mean to me, when she was nice we would go do pedicures and movies and lunch, I would take her to basketball games we have gone on week-end getaways , holidays so she wasn'y lacking MOM and me time. it is purely a temper tantrum gone bad and we fed into it so it got to be the way she got us to do things her way. I am hoping the tough love will work. I am prepared to not talk to her as long as it takes for her to understand you can't treat people this way it is a hard lesson to learn and will truly suck , but deep down I knwo it has to be done. So again thanks for all the advice, I am always open to sudjestions!!!!Have a terrific day!

Hello,
So everyone has some awesome posts, BUT what if the shoe is on the other foot? I am a mother who has tried over and over for the past 7 years to get my daughter to see it my way. She treats me like crap calls me names if I don't do what she wants me to do(I work fulltime and she expects me to take the day off to do her running around to get her hair done I say No I get called every name in the book) My fav is the C-WORD!!! She has thrown stuff at me , sworn at me, has kicked me and almost broke my leg. stolen from me. Basically has just abused me in any way possible, and I have tried to remain calm and I am now at my boiling point (I can NOT allow her to abuse me any more). I have asked her to get her stuff outta my house and to just please not talk to me until she can respect me. You would think that would be good but she texts me daily and all night so I shut my phone off most times. I am at a lose she is 19 and our last and final dissagrement was because I had to work and she needed a ride. That boiled over to I was the worst mother ever blah blah blah. so here is what makes me the worst mother ever in her mind.... I try to give her advicem she has an abusive b/f and I mentioned getting her help with a counsellor to show her that is not a good path in life. I suck I know. She gets a Credit card I explain to her the way it all works if you don't pay interest racks up bad thing to do. I should mind my own business she says. she is buying a car but has no license I say u should get your license first then worry about a car. I get told to shut up and she can do what she wants , she plans on driving this car with NO insurance or license, i explained to her about jail and killing people cause its against the law, i get told I am the nosiest bi*&H and who cares what happens.I can go on forever on how charming she is. But if anyone has some advice right now I am willing to try anything , she is the oldest of 5 and none of the others are like her .....I can't keep streesing over this so please a little advice from you daughters who think there mom is the worst I am the opposite I would give anything if I could but it is never enough!!!!! HELP!!!!!!! |

I started on cc january 3 2008....and i have lost 11.2 pounds as of today...So I guess it has been 17 days . I guess it just didn't seem like it has been that long cause I have had no set backs and people always talk about set backs ....so it averages out to be almost 3 pounds a week....I guess that is not as bad as I thought it was ...it just seems everyday i weigh in I am loosing...I will take that and smile and keep going the way i am going it seems to be working....Thank you so much :) Cheers, Barbara |

I was reading in teh forums and found the group so I would be interested in joining I am addicted to cc am on it alot each day... it helps me through the times i feel like binging and the times you just want something more so i start reading it helps. so here is my short but sweet story. My name is Barbara I am from Alberta Canada. I am 36 have 5 kids. 2 sets of twins (18 & 18) (14&14) and then a 6 year old. I am recently married (august 07). I am as of most recently a stay at home mom and wife, haven't stayed home in 19 years always worked. so it is all new to me , I am finally taking soem time for me and going to loose this weight. I started taking teh whole changing my way of eating january 01,2008. so here are mt stats and goals.. My height is 5'10 Startng weight--- 280 Mini goals 1----240 2----220 final goal weight is 170 I am serious about doing it the right way this time. I have started to work out each day slowly but at least I am doing it. I am most of teh time on my 1600 calories a day and my burn meter says I burn close to 3000 each day so I think I am doing it all right. I typically weigh myself on Mondays so i will keep you posted on monday!! always looking for advice if i am not , hopefully I can help everyone adn vice versa...have a terrific day and lets do this.... |

I myself am wondering the same thing...do you subtract the calories you have consumed from the top burn meter number. and what should that be i range from 600-1900 is that good or bad...so i mean buy 600-1900 i have burnt more calories than i have consumed is that how it works...man how confusing..lol |

Starting weight 280 (1-7-08) Last weigh in: N/A Weight this week:280 Goal weight is 170 Hello My name is Barbara. I am a 36 year old STAY at home wife and mom of 5 kids. Twin daughters who are 18, twin Son/daughter who are 14, and a 6 year old son. I have been overweight for most of my adult life not this severe i might add. I recently got married like 4 months ago. I have been on many many DIETS I have tried all the gimmicks out there, Inches a weigh, curves, aqua size. all of which failed cause i can't find the time to actually get there. So after many failed atempts here is my new outlook on the whole loosing weight. I have decided to not go on a diet but yet change how i eat as a life long commitment I will not give up everything I will just choose healthier and smaller portions. Instead of trying to find teh time to get out to a gym I have turned my spare room into a gym. now there is no excuses. I told myself on Jan,01 that I would start on monday the 7 and I am proud to say i did use my workout room today for 1 hour. so no more diets just a life long commitment to beiong healthy...any advice and support i can get I will be needing and it goes both ways i am here if anyone needs me...Good luck and lets do this...... |
