How would you handle this family situation (long)
fairfarmhand replied to Moonhawk's topic in The Chat Board
I think your plan is good. Really there’s not a great way out but I think it’s ok. I’m so sorry that you’ve been treated this way. -
Also, I have been trying to read gentle fiction before bed. And I clean. A lot. Having a tidy house helps me deal with a lot.

Commiseration here; we've had several Crap Hits the Fan things in our family within the last 18 months. Sunshine. I've been more consistent about working out in the last 12 months than I ever have been and it's been a good thing. It's usually 20-30 minutes but it's cardio so I can sweat it out.

My ds is 5'8" and has the same waist size as your son. So tall and thin! He wears the boys size XL boxer brief. I think these are like a 16-18 size for boys.

Laura, the fact that you feel bad about your dread of this task means that you are a wonderful person. Was your mother always a challenging person or has she gotten that way as she's gotten older? (Only asking because I live in dread of becoming a cranky old lady whose kids can't stand her.)

My ds is 13--he has usually between 1:30 pm to 4:30 p.m. free. School starts at 9:30, he's up at 8:30 and in that time he has morning stuff (breakfast, hygiene, etc.) and morning chores. After 4:30, he often has chores and his dad gets home and they do project (chores sometimes) together. Then supper and taekwondo. After TKD he usually has time for a shower, game with his dad, and a bit of TV time with the family. Dd 16 is up at 8:30, school starts at 9:30 with morning stuff and chores before school. She works till almost 3 most days and has from 3:30-5 ish free. She

Yes, it’s always so hard on the elderly when they lose their decades long spouse. 73 years is a long long time.

Wow! That's crazy. There should be pins in the ground at the corners of the lot. I wonder why they didn't just measure from that?

Oh, there's a reason I haven't waded into the world of TikTok. My dd sends me videos every now and then, but I would waste SO much time on that. I'm glad you're enjoying it though.

This is what I use. https://happyforks.com/analyzer I put in the whole recipe components (1 lb ground beef, 15 ounces tomato sauce, 1 bell pepper...etc) Then I calculate roughly the servings that it makes. Then I can easily extrapolate my calorie data. In my FitBit app, I can save the nutritional value of particular items, so it's pretty easy.

For something cold in summer, I like to eat frozen blueberries. They make me slow down and really enjoy them more than the raw ones, they're cold on a hot day, and they're SUPER healthy. They can replace ice cream and popsicles for me. ETA: They're also available relatively inexpensively year round.

Yeah, I think adding some more veggies in there will help fill you up without blowing through your points. I tracked my food yesterday and did ok. Tonight we're eating out for dinner, so I probably want to be more careful through the day so I don't go too far overboard with my choices at whatever restaurant we choose. I do have broccoli and carrots in the fridge to munch on. You're right that having the right foods on hand will help you out.

YAY! So glad!
