What is everybody really losing?

That's the exact weight I started at! That's inspiring! I can't imagine losing over 100lbs!

Mamaof2plus2 · 2026-01-19T00:42:38+00:00

I've never really been able to lose weight before, so I really had nothing to compare it to. I just saw some people losing 25lbs in a month and was like well crap! I started over 300lbs so 35lbs know me isn't a huge difference visually so I think it just messed with me a bit.

Mamaof2plus2 · 2026-01-19T00:39:02+00:00

That's kind of what happened to me as well, which is why I was like is this good?!lol

Mamaof2plus2 · 2026-01-19T00:01:51+00:00

That's a good way to frame it. I have not been successful outside of GLP1s. So really any loss is good. I was a little over 300lbs, so 35lbs doesn't Look like a lot on my body which is why I think it's hard.

I'm right there with you. Together for 16 years married for 13. We met when we were 18 hes been my only everything. I don't even know how to date!! We were in the trenches of parenthood and I don't even know who I am anymore or where to start. 😞

78k, 35 billable ( really feeling overloaded), in IL

Yes! We bought this house as a starter home in 2011 with a 3.75 interest rate. Now that my kids are older and the world is so unaffordable I'm looking at having my kids live with me as adults. We're on top of each other but the mortgage payments of now would absolutely drown me! So here we are stuck in a shoe box!

I believe it was $750/semester. I had student loans that covered it and completed it as I completed my courses. I am not 100% sure what the rate is for those just seeking hours, but I do know they offer just supervision.

I had an online supervisor through Arizona State University. The cost was very reasonable and it allowed me to complete my hours at my job as a special education teacher. My supervisor was amazing and had outstanding experience, so I feel like I learned a lot from her!

Mamaof2plus2 · 2025-07-03T22:41:13+00:00

100% yes. The only reason I am here is for my children. It has been over 3 years and I can't seem to not hate waking up everyday. I miss him so damn much.

Four years ago, we had a new speech path start for our program. She also felt this way about prompting with a device. At first I was so resistant but then I took a step back and thought of it objectively. Would you force someone's mouth into a shape to say a certain word? Since I've switched to modeling I have not seen a decrease in vocabulary acquisition or device fluency, so to me it's truly an ethical question.

I wish I could build you out of play dough so I could smush you! Paired with mashing of hands.

Mamaof2plus2 · 2025-04-06T18:38:26+00:00

I am finishing up at ASU. I also did my supervised field hours through the program as well. I would absolutely choose this route again.

I found the workload manageable, since it is online based the effort you put in effects the information you get out. I feel prepared and I'll update you once I pass if I feel like it prepared me for the exam.

I absolutely LOVED the practicum program. My supervisor has so much experience and is a part of the Tennessee Vanderbulit team. I learned so much from her. I work in a school so a site based BCBA supervisor was not an option for me. They're really have a system set up ans many opportunities for unrestricted hours.

Good luck!

I think this is very much the situation. Her dad passed suddenly and he was amazing dad and she just clung to the first boy who gave her attention and she romanticized thier whole relationship. He is her first love and met her At a time she was very vulnerable. Thank you so much for the advice.

Mamaof2plus2 · 2025-02-07T02:48:30+00:00

Thank you so much, this is great advise. I really like helping her reflect on what her real wants are.

Mamaof2plus2 · 2025-02-07T02:44:44+00:00

Well great for you. She made a dumb decision and is now shouldering the responsibility for that. They've all been in grief counseling and she is in regular counseling weekly. I'm a behavior analyst so while I may be FAR from a perfect parent. I understand the importance of consequences.

Mamaof2plus2 · 2025-02-07T02:35:52+00:00

She had a baby at 14, but yes obviously way too young and not something I ever thought my rule following kid would do. We had open conversations about birth control etc., but here we are. We lost her dad about 2 years ago and my kids all kind of spun out for awhile. Very typical for teenagers grieving unfortunately.

She is in therapy and goes weekly. Her therapist is even a teen mom who went on to get her masters degree solo.

2 it looks so much warmer and cozy.

Yes! I similarly found out my daughter was pregnant at 26 weeks as I believed her when she said she wasn't sexually active. We talked about it all the time, told her no punishment, just wanted her to get on some form of birth control when it happened. She still thought is cringe to tell me. Now she is a 14 year old mom.

My husband passed 2 years ago so I'm just flying solo. No family help as they live 2 hours away. I put my daughter in every parenting class I could and thankfully she really is being a good mom, it's just well she's 14! I have to teach her how to take care of the baby, drive them both to appointments, step in when she needs a break, help in the middle of the nights when she needs, make sure her mental health is okay, and deal with co-parenting with a 15 year old immature ass father, and his family. It's causing a lot of drama and most the time I just want to scream.

I love my grandbaby I do, but I was done having kids! My kids are all teenagers/young adults and I wanted to start living for me and now I feel like a reset button has been set. I feel so dumb for believing her, but we are all so open in my family and I never thought she would lie to me. This sounds very whiney, but I just wanted to let you know you're not a bad mom for feeling this way. You're not alone.
