HAVE A GREAT WEEK TORI

Hey Lisa! Welcome back, love. Its always good to come back to us, your brothers and sister who know somewhat what you're going through wls related. Schhol is crazy for me too. I am taking accelerated classes through the summer and its humongous- that's what I get for taking easy classes during the regular semesters lol. Dump anything you need, we're here.

Hey Jen! Thanks for the response and the offer. My daughter is doing fairly well -- just some residual side-effects would should resolve after time. I will agree with you that when my daily walk stays on path, the rest of life doesn't seem quite so stressfull. When I flounder around, then that's when things start to creep in and stress me out. Coincidentally, that's when the potato chips begin to call me from the hospital cafeteria. LOL. Lisa

Thanks Anna you are a treasure too....

Lisa, Hugs ... I am only about 30 mins away if you ever want to meet for coffee and just girltalk ... My weight was up 23 pounds from my lowest when I got pregnant this time. I have gained 6 pounds so far. I am so sorry about your daughter. I hope she will continue to do well. That is a lot of school and work you have going on. Not to mention that it is in addition to having a family to care for. I feel you on the daily walk my days are so full and tiring, I have trouble makig it a priority. And I know that when God is my priority, my life runs smoother. Kinda silly of me not to just make it 1st everyday! God Bless! Jen
