You're a great writer, and each achievement in life just highlights the greatness you have overall.<br /><br />This is coming from a guy who reached Eagle Scout in 1999 and still ranks it as one of the greatest achievements, even on par with graduating college!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1553724422498154390.post-49917616852881191182010-08-22T17:09:03.082-05:002010-08-22T17:09:03.082-05:00Just found your blog, and read a bunch of your pos...Just found your blog, and read a bunch of your posts.

Then about an hour after than I have my official afternoon snack. <br /><br />I think it helps with the inner struggle of needing to put something in my mouth....(If I'm having a really bad day, I'll chew gum in between-I'm trying to learn to chew gum when I drink so I don't eat, but the taste is a little off-putting).<br /><br />I'm not sure if this would even work for you while you're teaching (teaching alone should prevent you from eating!!)..but I thought you'd like the tip. :)Lizahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15469062079148751772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1553724422498154390.post-89807858821134522192010-08-19T12:44:42.784-05:002010-08-19T12:44:42.784-05:00Laudable achievements all.

If ADD is getting in your way, maybe you need to talk to your doctor and see a therapist. You've accomplished some amazing things. Things a lot of people can't do.

It sounds like you have done that as well. Please don't be so hard on yourself about the weight. <br /><br />You've also lost 48 pounds and whether you know it or not, you've likely inspired others to do it too. Lose some more, or just keep this weight off and consider it another success.<br /><br />You're doing great.<br /><br />P.S.
