Lots going on with the Lasky bunch.
The kids are now 8, 10, and 12. (We are 43! Omg!)

I remember imagining these ages years ago and thinking, “Wow. Eight, ten, twelve. Will they really be that big?” (With Ross’s intonation, of course.) And here we are. Tavas turned eight on September 12, and it feels as though we’ve all taken one huge step forward.

Lots of adjustments. Lots of separation. New sports, new teachers, a new routine, a new apartment, new fights, new self-awareness, and new boundaries. All five of us are changing as the kids grow. We’re finding new ways to connect with each other while keeping up with life in a fast-paced megacity.

British school, life in Russia, home in Armenia, questions of identity, schedules, two out of three kids now using public transport (moscow subway and buses), Jason directing a school musical, Crystal at rehearsals too, and the ongoing search for a car. Somehow, amid all the world’s craziness, things feel pretty calm for us.

Now, to all the parents out there: I know how you feel. I know the occasional urge to scream, and kudos to those who manage to contain their frustration! Hugs to those who sometimes can’t. 💚 We’re doing our best in any given moment.

Don’t forget to check in with yourself and your body. Breathe. Relax. Ask yourself: How does my body feel? What am I feeling? What do I need? Then give yourself what you need, whether that’s a bathroom break, a drink of water, lying on the floor, crying, singing, or simply chilling for a moment.

Hugs from the Lasky family 💚 by @svetanah

It just so happened that on that day a year ago we did with Ruslan blood test for the endocrinologist. And today we went to the main institute of endocrinology of Russia to also give a few of the blood tests and the body checkup. We are very carefully monitoring our amazing man’s health and weight, and we have good doctors helping him to get healthier and lighter. Unfortunately hormones are not fun even when the eating habits are good and life is full of movement and sports. But we are Lasky team! With psychological, medical and coaches’ support Ruslan is doing great!

Please remind your kids not to bully for the weight, color, any appearance, it does affect kids for a long ride. taken in ЭНЦ МЗ РФ Endocrinology research centre by @svetanah

Shopping in Nairobi looks cute? But then I remember the guards with the kalashnikovs checking the car on the gates, walking around the supermarket while we are choosing food with babies. Well, we get used to new environments and circumstances. And new normal becomes our normal. by @svetanah

Today I was discussing my weight-loss frustration with my friend and showed her some old photos of me when I wasn’t overweight and was very sporty.

My body has gone through several transformations over the last 13 years, starting with my first pregnancy in 2013. Before that, I was very much into sports and dance.

After I had Crystal and went to New York, I experienced my first depression there (which I didn’t even know was depression at the time!) and gained about 20 kg in six months. After that, I was able to lose some weight. Then gain it again. Then came two more pregnancies, which were not actually the reason I gained extra weight. It was sleep deprivation, stress, anxiety, and two more depressions.

I have hated my body for the last 10 years. I have also appreciated it for giving birth, feeding my babies, and surviving through so many hardships.

Now that I’m aware of my eating disorder and have identified some of the systemic problems around personal boundaries, etc., I’m taking it easy. I’m losing weight with the support of my endocrinologist and gastroenterologist, alongside a lot of psychological work.

Last year, I found out that I had very bad anemia, which left me feeling powerless. I took care of it, as well as other health issues.

I do hope to come back to my healthy, light body. But first things first - I’m taking care of my health, both physical and mental.

This post is to support my many friends who are struggling with eating disorders or anxiety disorders, losing or gaining weight. Hugging all of you 🥰 by @svetanah
