Ht. 5'8, Wt. 175 - Hey everyone, I haven't posted in a while cause my mom is in the hospital and it's been really hard for me. They found that she has cancer and I've been really depressed and sad lately. Since I haven't been home my brother has been taking me to Burger king and McDonald's. Wed. I had burger king and Thurs. I had McDonald's. But I ordered chicken both times. I know it's not good for you to eat at those fast food places but I just haven't been home. I want to be here for my mom and there's never any time to cook a meal if your at the hospital all the time. Today I had 4 poptarts. Yes I know thats A LOT of calories. But I cleaned the whole house, went on the XL-Glider we have for 30 min., road my bike to the hospital and then I'm gonna walk my family friends dog Jaida for an hour. I'll probably go on the glider again later on tonight. So today I'm taking action and not sitting around. It's not like I do this every day of my life having fast food. It's just been these past two days. I just felt like putting this all down in a post it's been going through my mind alot and the less I have on my mind the more and more I can concentrate on my mom. I'm so worried about her but shes a very strong person and one of the best fighters I know. See my dad died of cancer when I was 14 months old and now I'm 14 and we just found this out. So my mom has been through alot but I'm here for her every step of the way. Thanks everyone for listening. Please post if you have any comments. I'm trying my best both ways and we will get through this!

Reply from Jules, Age 15 - 11/04/05 - IP#: 64.222.62.xxx Oh, my gosh, Elizabeth, I am so sorry about your mom! It must be really hard to have both parents affected by cancer. I know you are doing your best, but I think weight isn't the main issue on your mind, and it shouldn't be. The best thing for you to do is to try to stay on a healthy diet with exercise. Don't try and LOSE weight at this time, but you need to try to stay the same weight, so you can stay healthy. If your mother is a strong fighter, I am sure she will be okay, and it's good that they found the cancer now. PLEASE send your mom my BEST wishes and get well thoughts. I know she doesn't know me, and you don't really know me, either, but still, I want her and you to know that there are people out there that really want to help. If you need ANYTHING -- advice, a chat, whatever, put your email as a response to this message, and I'll email you. I am sending love, hugs, and smoochies!!!!!! YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!!!
