My first week into Weight Watchers is progressing pretty good. Haven't been too hungry, which is good. I know it will get tedious after a bit counting and measuring what I eat, but I am determined to stick with this.
On a different note...had to deal with a family situation yesterday. My younger brother has had mental and health issues since he was about 20 years old. Crohns disease is his main problem, but along with that he also has some pyschological problems. I'm sure if he were to see a good therapist there would be specific names for his problems with the main one being depression. He does take an antidepressant. He has also taken in the past a prescription sleep aid which he did not react well to a few years ago.
Well, he recently decided he needed that sleep aid again...and went to a doctor who did not know of his past problems with it. And said doctor wrote him a script. Yesterday he was arrested for driving under the influence. He knocked down some mail boxes, hit our mom's house..and drove so erratic other motorists called the police on him. His court date is Wednesday. My mom is insisting he move out of his apartment and in with her so she can monitor him. I'm not really sure if that is a good idea or not. I truly believe he needs to be in some kind of treatment facility, but I also know he would never go willingly right now.
It's a tough situation.....I really don't know what is going to happen next with it all. Chris and I did offer to let him move in with us, but my mom insists he move in with her. Right now all I can do is pray about it, and be there for either of them when needed. Mom is going with him to his court date on Wednesday morning. I asked her if she wanted to me come with her and she said yes. I'll update later on this.
