One factor is I crave salt and some sugar and frankly, the convenience- weather and depression has a-lot to do with it as well. I want to change my eating habits bc I am over weight, and sugar is not exactly great to achieve that. I need to get a diet buddy or someone who can encourage me instead of people like my sister, who brings over unhealthy snacks when we hang out. I try to get her to go along with eating better and going on walks, but she never follows through, which makes it difficult for me to follow through. I plan on calling my Dr abs getting a referral to a weight loss program and support group -

I’ve always heard this term as one of negativity, piggy backing the ‘waste of space’ sentiment. It simply says that someone isn’t living up to their potential or being a productive member of society. In my life, I could see how people might think this referred to me, as I was a non-working mother, raising 3 kids, all with special needs, and homeschooling 2 of them. However, doing this as a single parent and only working minimally or literally selling furniture and miscellaneous items from my home, walking side streets to pickup tossed cans and bottles for deposit, was a necessity if I wanted my children to be productive members themselves. As it turns out, all three do very well in life. My daughter just bought a home - - paying off her her former home and SUV last year; she is raising two kids of her own, paying daycare out of pocket, and makes great money in her position. My oldest son works hard to support his 2 daughters, whom he has shared custody of, and is looking to purchase a home as well. My youngest son works at the post office and bought a new vehicle with money he earned and has no loan on the vehicle. I wouldn’t trade the sour looks and back talkers for the world as I am comfortable with my decision to be ‘semi non productive’ member of society (waste of space) living and taking up space, so that my children could be!
