YES, i am pulling myself together and heading out there a couple of times this summer to hang with my niece and talk to my sister. and YES, it's called puberty. thanks, lisa<br /><br /><br />sarah; i'm heading to the bookstore this afternoon. i'll look for the book. thank you for the suggestion!<br /><br />i'm taking my brother's daughter clothes shopping. she's very overweight (by who's standards?), and everyone's made such a big deal of it. she thinks she's 100% hideous. she was apologizing that we have to shop for her in a plus-size store. my work begins -- boostering her self-esteem. i'm ready to walk the walk that i talk.<br /><br />thanks again for your ideas and supportI Hate to Weighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17241064340434705588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8381543043245692093.post-91025277996386665462009-05-12T20:12:00.000-07:002009-05-12T20:12:00.000-07:00A great book I've started, it addresses the last p...A great book I've started, it addresses the last part of my eating disorder-the addiction to food. "From the First Bite A Complete Guide to Recovery from Food Addiction" By Kay Sheppard. If you can't find it I'd love to send it to you when I finish it. It very much resembles the ideals of AA and the sensitivity of the addiction-being food, because we are faced with eating everyday.<br /><br />Hope your week becomes bright Mel!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17034980786297421545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8381543043245692093.post-51256202133735917932009-05-12T11:54:00.000-07:002009-05-12T11:54:00.000-07:00Sometimes when it doesn't seem worthwhile to do th...Sometimes when it doesn't seem worthwhile to do things for ourselves, it's good to do things for others - like get yourself better for your niece.

She's still growing and filling out. Heck, who am I telling this to? You know that! Good for you for wanting to step up and be that role model for your niece. Any motivation is good motivation, but this sounds like it's the best motivation of all.
