Hi Liz!
Hi Everyone!
My name is Kim and I just joined too:) I used to live in Montreal, Qc,
but now live in Auckland, NZ.
I have a 3 yo daughter (Anna) and a 1 yo son (Samuel) who keep me busy &
rooted:)
Being far from my family & friends, I find myself quite isolated too..
and am happy to meet you all here:)
Looking forward to hearing from you!
Take care:)
Kim

Hi Kate,
Hi Karen,
I'm Kim from New Zealand and have 2 little ones of my own (3 &1).
I really do understand what you're feeling as I'm exactly the same...
My children are very tiny, yet what you describe is one of my biggest
fears..
I also ended up studying in a social field (as a psychoeducator) to
always feel needed -
So, yes,.. I really feel for you Kate.. like you said, her independance
is a wonderful reflection of the Great Job you're doing as a Mom.
And like others have said, she'll *always* need you, because you're
'Mom'.. (even if she doesn't always show it..)
I think relationships with our children are like elastics somehow.. they
might stretch away from us (while they're finding/defining themselves),
but they'll always come back.
Much love to you all,
Kim from NZ

Quaker saw your message, and wanted to respond:
We understand that eating right can sometimes feel like a challenge. But the good news is that our bodies (and brains!) like familiar foods, and familiar foods can be changed. You can train your brain to want healthy foods for a snack. Here's how:
Start by getting organized. Planning will replace willpower, and you'll feel so much better for your effort. Healthy eating will become a priority if you create a plan to eat regular meals every 3-4 hours: breakfast, lunch, dinner, with a snack between lunch and dinner, and another at bedtime. Get rid of unhealthy snack foods in your house – you're not the only one who doesn't need them. Then go to the market and purchase what you need. Make sure you include lean protein, non-fat or lowfat dairy products, whole grains (100% whole grain bread, oatmeal, brown rice, etc) and fresh or frozen fruits and vegetables. Cut corners by purchasing fresh, refrigerated, pre-cut and pre-washed foods. Here's a one day menu to get you started:
Breakfast:
Oatmeal
Milk
Berries
Or
Wheat toast
Peanut butter
Banana
Lunch:
Turkey sandwich with avocado
Apple
Milk
Or
Tomato soup
Quesadilla
Grapes
Afternoon snack:
Small handful of almonds
Pear, or fresh fruit in season
Dinner
Chicken (buy a rotisserie chicken if you aren't inclined to cook)
Fresh salsa
Corn tortilla
Salad with cilantro, avocado
Or
Salmon
Brown rice or corn on the cob
Asparagus or broccoli
Bedtime snack:
Plain yogurt
Fresh (frozen) raspberries or blueberries
If you need more help, find a registered dietitian in your area who can help you make your good intentions a reality. Good luck!

> Why is it so easy to eat junk but is so exhausting to eat healthy? I had an evaluation done a few weeks back and it showed that I am in yeast overload. That is why I haven't felt well since the birth of my last son, almost four. It is also the culprit for the weight I haven't been able to loose dispite my efforts of exercise and eating right.

> The yeast is an easier fix, but the sugar? Everything we are exposed to has sugar! I recently found out that iodized salt even has a trace of sugar even though not listed on the label. I am tired and exhausted, and financially drained trying to feel better. Maybe because I am sick today, it is more overwhelming.
