> Kat,
> Thanks so much for the support and information. It was really uplifting and encouraging for me. How great for you to be able to lose that amount of weight. I just keep thinking "what if she is that one person that Topamax doesn't work?." I know how hard it is to lose weight. You are really helping me through this, more than you know.....really. Anyone feel free to add information anytime. Thanks
I have been helped here by so many people and soooo sooo often... that I am happy to be able to help someone else... my chance to pay it forward...just remember to give things time and that you will not notice the change overnight...
relax and be patient...it will come...
as I think of our foster kids and our own kids, and there were more foster kids than own kids <g>, I have to say that the most important thing you can do is let her know that you love her no matter what
love is the most important tool in her arsenal... love and support as she tries to overcome this... and unconditional love is the most important thing of all...
now my bog challenge is to keep the weight off and to beat the seizures... I used to think it would be wonderful to be able to go to sleep at night and not worry about a seizure happening...
now I remember that old saw about being careful what you wish for...
suddenly the nights became totally seizure-free and days became terrifying...
so now I am happy when they happen at night...
and I look forward to seizure-free time as long as the weight stays off...
I always have these little riders that I attach to life <g>
