So sad for your son. If things are bad he should request a move - I'm sure that someone can accomodate him! I'm with Rosalie - bump up your water and fiber. Sometimes I even go over on carbs if I have to, just to get enough fiber. not often, but I feel it's more important to get the fiber. Try out the lemon bread - sometimes we need a change, too!Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06792676971597382540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-878486617780300265.post-51955569994983132922011-08-30T21:02:10.948-04:002011-08-30T21:02:10.948-04:00I'm sorry that you are having a hard time, but...I'm sorry that you are having a hard time, but please don't feel like you owe us a positive post, we are here to support you in whatever mood you are in.<br /><br />I'm also glad to hear that you and your fam are safe :)Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05168900556283742018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-878486617780300265.post-23588093250636115832011-08-30T13:11:34.765-04:002011-08-30T13:11:34.765-04:00Hi Beth!

I was worried about my folks' house in North Carolina, but they're inland so it wasn't too bad over there.<br /><br />I'm sorry you're on a plateau. Those are the WORST! I'm sure you'll see another drop soon. Some things that seem to have worked for us: getting extra fiber, drinking LOTS of water and not eating carbs after lunch.<br /><br />Good luck!Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15769506108387752859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-878486617780300265.post-47616485295879816252011-08-30T12:53:56.100-04:002011-08-30T12:53:56.100-04:00HI Beth, I am sorry that your son was so sad and i...HI Beth, I am sorry that your son was so sad and in turn made you sad. That's funny that he wants to be good and it seems like they won't let him. I am sure he will be fine so don't worry and try to enjoy your free time.<br />Why don't you start posting what you eat every day and we can chime in and help. Maybe you are eating something that is throwing you off.<br />Have a great day :-)PurpleRosyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11038204772860553985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-878486617780300265.post-60364701576311818062011-08-30T12:34:13.585-04:002011-08-30T12:34:13.585-04:00Hi Beth, from the other slow loser.

I hope that your son starts to feel better. I always say, it's not really the school, but whether they connect with a group of people that makes college successful for them. My middle son wanted and tried to transfer several times his first and second years, but then met a group of good friends that really made the difference for him. I have to say my boys, although all good students, and great guys, do like their beer. They each have a few friends however, that dont drink, and this is not problem at all for them to hang out together. They all respect everyone's wishes. And they are all very good friends. So hopefully that will be the case for your son too.Pattiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14233014292620441914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-878486617780300265.post-36589195409819733182011-08-30T11:22:47.397-04:002011-08-30T11:22:47.397-04:00You have every right to be sad! It is really hard ...You have every right to be sad! It is really hard taking your kids off to school and not knowing if it is the right place for them. We took my oldest daughter to a local college (about 15 minutes from Spokane, but 45 minute drive to our house) anyway, her room mate is there already and has an 8x10 of her Dad right next to her bed. A little creepy!!! And she was really creepy! She then went a little further away to super party school USA and joined a sorority. I still owe 8000 on her drunken quarter. On the other hand my 23 year old son went to 8, yes 8, I repeat 8, different schools to play football and he left every one of them!! (he would try either spring or summer) He is now 23 and home working with my older son. The long and short of this story....you have done what you can to make him the wonderful young man that he is. He will make positive choices and you will be very proud of him! I pray that he meets a great friend and loves his school! <br />Refer back to the song I sent:)<br />The weight gets really frustrating. I bet if you read back through a lot of our journey's you would see that we were stuck. I don't think I have lost more than like 3 lbs in a couple of months. I do notice that things are continuing to firm up a little. <br />We aren't going to let you disappear!!! Now is the time for you:)<br />I'm glad the hurricane turned out OK for you. I imagine they certainly never knew what hit them in Vermont!!!<br />I hope and pray more young people go the way of the non drinking dorms. I still have to wrap my head around the floors being co ed!Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13876597084432433257noreply@blogger.com
