I intended to post yesterday but didn't happen got busy and just forgot.
I have eaten healthy-fresh vegetables, talapia, broccoli, brussel sprouts, chiken breasts, almonds (although I think I may have to stop with those all togeather. I know they are healthy but really who can stop at 10-13????)
My highest calorie day was a little over 1600 and everyday I did something in the line of exercise. I walk and push my mower and I go to harvest hope and push and pull and lift and bend.
Since last Fri. I have lost almost 2 pounds. I am so hoping that the higher dosage of the synthyroid will kick in soon and then I will not have to struggle as hard to maintain or lose a pound a week.
Still am having trouble with son in law . He is the most backward or ignorant or just does not care person I have ever been around. The man just walks around my house like he owns it, I have closed doors and even locked them and he may be deterred that time but next time he just wanders around. I am going ot speak to him again today. He opens my fridge and gets out what he wants,. He looks in my pantry and takes things. Yesterday he took my energy bars. I have to search to find bars that does not have flour and the man took them.
I have had the talk with g-son about people touching him in certain areas. The other day sol took baby a ball game and let him play iwth other children. One older boy touched him on his chest and tried to pull his shirt up and it upset g son and he started crying and went to son in law and told him. Son in law told him to stop crying like girl and go play. I was furious when grandson told me about it. I had told grandson that if someone touches him he can go to any of us and we would help him and then that man handles it like that. Granted the other child probably did not mean any harm but still it is the principle of the thing.
Sometimes I just want to throw my hands in the air and simply scream until I feel better, but I think I may be sreaming a long long time
God bless each of you.

Congratulations on the weight loss, Joy! Sounds like you're doing the best you can, and what else can you ask for?! You're a great blessing in the life of your family. Keep teaching your grandson and being a shelter for him. I'm praying for you and your family.
ReplyDeleteFirst, congratulations on the weight loss! :D Wahoo, fellow traveler down SOS lane. :D
ReplyDeleteSecond, the SIL. Ugh. I would want to slap that son-in-law simple...and maybe pull some hair. I mean it. How infuriating his behavior is, in general, and then to be such an insensitive jerk with his son just puts me over the edge.
It is so hard, this grandmother thing, when parenting is lacking. I find it hardest to know that I can only do so much, that i can't really rescue my grandchildren.
It is in moments that you describe that i am so grateful for my faith in God. He can go where we cannot and accomplish what we cannot.
I'm praying that the Lord keeps your grandson's little heart from being wounded and sends angels to do spiritual warfare on his behalf.
So sorry, Joy. I know how hard this is.
Hugs and prayers,
Deb
