Guess what

I have had dcf called on myself. I never knew they did adults as well. But they tried to get me for self neglect. But good news is i am not 369lbs. Another goal hit.
Wow, I've never heard of this. I'm thinking DCF is the Department of Children and Families in your area? I'm very curious, What do they do, decide at a certain weight if you are over or under a threshold to care for yourself? I'm certainly glad that your progress has put you in whatever they deem the safe zone to be. What a humiliating experience that had to be though. Damn Mama, I'm sorry.

That is crazy that they tried to get you for self neglect. I'm sure after hearing your story they realized you are well on your way to winning the war in self care. Someone who is putting their health at the top of their priorities can not be accused of neglecting themselves.

Congrats on reaching your next weightloss goal! That puts you at losing 50% of your weight (or one lb away), right?!? THAT IS A HUGE ACCOMPLISHMENT!!!!!! Keep up the amazing progress. Keep fighting for yourself and you will be in the 200's in no time at all :D

I could not believe the scale at first. I sat there for a moment looking at it. I thought that it was a big drop
 
That is crazy! I have heard of people calling a welfare check on someone they know is not well to be sure they are OK, but never heard of DCF called on an adult person or about themselves?!


Me either but they have adult services. Of course it is more for the elderly. The dcf worker even said that she thought the call was werid. But she checked to see if my room was safe and made sure i had food. Another good part was i have my mini fridge packed with good food.
