happy columbus day everyone! just wanted to log in to say that i've decided to spend an extra week on session 5 AND I'VE planned to QUIT SMOKING TODAY!!!! I know it's only 11:00am but I'm determined and , after 15 yrs., READY!!! Wish me luck, keep me in your prayers as I do the same for ALL of you!!...

I just started session 5 this weak and funny enough it's about diet and exercise! I've always been able to keep myself thin whether it was because I never had an appetite or because I stayed fully aware of how much I was eating. Well, it seems as though by week 2 of this program I'm doing this "eati...

thank-you both for the kind words and "kick in the butt" so to speak! For whatever reason I suppose I knew the answer and I also know that I want sooo badly to do this for myself it just seems that my "stubborn" personality is getting in the way more often than not!

it is funny. i have 3 boys, my oldest who is 8 has alot of the same symptoms as i and maybe you and prob. everyone else on this site. i RACKED my brains over it for the last 2-3 yrs. and finally decided that, yes, even though genetics plays a HUGE roll- i've TAUGHT my son "escape&avoid","hyperventil...

faith_tx, i have to agree that over-analyzing a child's words is a waste of energy because it always seems that by the time we come up w/ just 1 possibility of what it could mean, they're onto another subject all together! sometimes(esp. now-adays) i really think that we ALL know too much about psyc...
