Congrats on the weight loss! That's awesome. I know you are stressed with working, homeschooling, and caring for two kids and hubby - but don't sweat the small stuff. Some things will go by the wayside until you can get to them.

I can read between the lines and see how things are very overwhelming for you these days. I noticed your posts have slowed down as well-realistically so. Inshallah things will get easier. <br /><br />If I may make a suggestion I find it helpful to focus on the positive things. My children are healthy and safe.

And focus on the quality of the time you have with them. Many many children grow up in homes where both parents work. <br /><br />Maybe have game nights or icecream sundae nights or matinee movie afternoons? You can give them some special time with you to look forward to. Hope it helps. <br /><br />Salaam! Shalom! Peace!...

It might help keep them on track. <br />As for outdoor stuff, it doesn't have to cost anything. Do you have parks you can take them to? If you play with them, it may help with your weight loss goal.<br />As for weight loss, calorie counting or something like Weight Watchers are the key, in my opinion. Really tracking everything you eat and not just guesstimating. That's what works for me.<br />May Allah swt help you achieve all your goals this summer.otowihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11497228997910501944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4797518818272666624.post-61699006620352288372011-06-06T23:26:59.031+04:002011-06-06T23:26:59.031+04:0010 kilos by october 13th? so its a 2 way ultimatum...10 kilos by october 13th? so its a 2 way ultimatum?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4797518818272666624.post-19615152048119870412011-06-06T13:52:15.739+04:002011-06-06T13:52:15.739+04:00Salaam alaikum Brandy,

I can imagine the stress you are under right now. <br /><br />Masha'Allah you are so strong to be able to juggle this all for yout family. <br /><br />Let me make a suggestion if I might. Just focus on the big things right now. Obviously you have to work and plan for it. Other than that, you have to give your children and husband some time. <br /><br />After that, don't worry about any other issue such as weight or projects you would like to do. Focus on the big stuff, prioritize, and plead with Allah to help you and lighten your load.<br /><br />I know it's a totally different ball-game overseas; there are no social programs like in the US where for example you can get food stamps, healthcare, etc. <br /><br />I would love to see a post (ONLY when you get time!) about the reasons you guys don't want to move back home to the US.<br /><br />Thanks and ma salaama...<br />I thinkUmm Aaminahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16099550741683256476noreply@blogger.com
