[QUOTE="Tired out, post: 746183, member: 23103"] Oh dear Copa, You over think it and deny yourself too much. When I over think food, I want the stuff. Example. I was just dying for chocolate, I gave up an made the lava cakes. I had a whole one ready to eat 6oz ramkin about 4 oz of cake. I was going to eat it all. Count the points and enjoy it. The first 3 or 4 bites..YUMM. the 5th..not so much. I haven't finished it. It's in the fridge. will heat like new in the microwave. Maybe tonight. If not I will toss it. Hubs ate and enjoyed his. I guess what I am trying to say. Give yourself permission to enjoy something. Once you quit obsessing think you will find you think about the stuff less often. I don't understand your "mother" at all. She doesn't deserve the title. Ben was a total $hit. I don't pretend all that didn't happen. But I'm still not going to toss him out of my heart. He.is. mine. God gave him to me, so God must have figured I could do it, the same as I got Adam. To me Adam and Ben both have neurological disabilities. Adam's result in obvious physical disabilities. Ben's aren't physical and result in actions. Either way my goal is for both of them to be the best they can be in this life. I have to give support without enabling.I don't let Adam stay home all day everyday, he has a productive life, yes it takes me to be his transportation and to be on call and many days he spends less that a 6 hour day at workshop.Some days it is only a hour. As long as he is making an effort I am ok with that. As for Ben. He is going to work every day, he picked up a second job and financially I am helping less and less. Soon I will be done assisting him. My goal in the long run for him is to be totally financially independent and to be able to come home for dinner and bring his girl.
