    Cool MOM Disclosure, LOL

    Yes - I am a "MOM" in the all-capital sense of the word.

    Should my encouragement & thoughts go over into an uncomfortable boundary crossing, my advance apologies! I am also a mental health professional (retired). So my intent is always information, help and enabling self-determination.

    We have 6 adult children, 3 boys, 3 girls. (Two are "steps" but still mine). They are 52, 47, 45, 40, 36 & 33. So I believe even my children are older than most of you!

    They have all been supportive of my VGS, although none of them have body issues, health issues, or reasons to follow my footsteps.

    I am also a research "junky" so let me know if I can help!

    Happy with my weight; happy with my size; over-the-moon with my health!

    I have found that you can never have too many "Moms" - especially when your own is not around any more.
    Thank you for your posts!
