Hello, Thanks for writing back.....

I understand all that you are saying. Basically I stated my feelings to get some input. I do spend alot of time with my son. He is a great kid. At 11 yrs old he has a great self esteem and enjoys his life.

I take him camping, fishing, and all the things a dad might do with a son. His dad lives an hour and a half away, yet only wants to see him once a year. I have been divorced from his dad for 9 over 9 yrs now.

I also just signed us up for a 3 month membership to an indoor water park, so we have been having fun doing that. I let him take a friend and he has a blast. I was excited to see that also have a fitness center there.

I guess I sounded "down" because I have started over so many times, and sometimes it is difficult not having a support system.

Thanks for taking the time to write me. and your friend who eats all he wants, "I used to be able to do that"......tell him that! it will eventually catch up with him.................. take care, Gina

p.s. I am trying to diet excercise and to be more positive about the future.
