My weight problems center around two issues I discovered--stress eating and desirability. My marriage contributes to both. I stress eat when my husband is around; when he travels for work, I am fine....

I've had an awakening. I'm not sure what it's all about yet, but it's here, budding and new and full of light. Several things have come together to tell me that I can't manage this marriage for 3...

My husband told me the other day that he really wanted to be nice to me, but that I made it impossible for him. I struggle with my self- worth and self-confidence because or him. My father thinks I...

Is it over yet? This week has been busy. My husband professed his undying devotion and love and wanted to make our marriage better. I just nodded my head and checked the clock. I gave it 8 hours....

I made it through Christmas--hurrah! My biggest problem is that my husband has decided that he wants to have sex with me every second. Ugh. He has decided that this is his one week's vacation, and I...

Ahh... the holidays... of joy and arguing and dyfunctional family relationships... of more marital fighting with kids caught in the middle. On Thursday I went to the holistic pharmacy and got a...

Ugh. I'm tired and stressed and relatives just amaze me. I was talking to my aunt today and she (who is retired and lives alone with her dog) had the audacity to chastise me for not sending Christmas...

The holidays are coming. Ugh. Stress goes up, in-laws come, lots of snipping comments and unhappy people--sounds like great fun. Any one up for a vacation to the Bahamas? I'm having a harder time...

I am soooo angry at him. I wrote before, but the venom is still in my system. I married an asshole. Ugh. He wasn't always this way before we had kids. He always said that when he had kids, he...

I have to leave tomorrow for the whole day, and possibly the night as well, for a family emergency. With so little notice, I am left with no choice but to leave my two children alone all day with my...

Some day I will write a book about my experiences with my profoundly autistic child. He is a gift to me and I have learned so much. In the meantime, I wanted to comment on some of the stupidest...

Today is a so-so day. I'm tired. I figured out awhile ago that eating a lot of sugar makes me extremely exhausted the next day. Who knew you could be intolerant to sugar (I'm not diabetic). Even...

Today I decided to "take the higher road." I've been telling myself that all day. Everytime I might say something nasty to my husband (i.e., usually defending myself), I've bit my tongue and thought...

Today is not starting out as a great day. My husband and I seem to play this tug of war. Yesterday we had a short, but bitter fight over support issues. He complained that I didn't support him or...

I'm recovering from the 3rd flu strain/bug in 3 weeks. Ugh. The kids are sick too. As for my marriage, I'm a little more mellow today. I do feel that if I was nicer to him, he would probably be nicer...
