BARBARA~~ HAPPY SKINNY NEW YEAR~~ May the light always find you on a dreary day.....When you need to be home, may you find your way....... May you always have courage to take a chance, and never find frogs in your underpants.
Dear Barbara........I'm so sorry about your recent troubles with your daughter. The teen years can be very painful. You're smart to get professional help. You know all the right things to do and you're doing them..being supportive, getting help and letting her know how important and deeply loved she is. Now take a deep breath, your weight loss is NOT the problem. Her fears about her weight are being spoken and will be there whether you are fat or slim. Changing your body for the worse won't help. Stop with the mea culpas. Destroying your health won't help your daughter. You are on the right track in supporting her. Keep it up! God bless you and your little girl. You are in my prayers! BIG HUGS!........sorry if advice from a stranger or anything I say might offend. I am sometimes clumsey and only want to help. I have a teenage daughter too and being a teenager can bite.
Barbara, congratulations on your upcoming surgery. May you be blessed with an easy surgery and a rapid, painless recovery. Don’t forget to drink your water, get enough protein, take your vitamins, exercise and… CONTINUE TO MAKE YOUR DREAMS YOUR REALITY
Barbara, I pray that your recovery will be fast and beyond your hopes. I ask that God watch over you and bring your through safely to the other side. Walk, cough and breathe deep as you being your new life. God bless you.
Barbara, WOW only 3 more days to go. I am SO excited for you. Best of luck on this next phase of your journey. I'll be thinking of you on your new 'birthday'.
