I can't imagine the amount of worry and stress this has caused all of you. You will get your groove back when the time is right. Trying to restrict when you are still in the throes of a major change may lead down a worse road than just not focusing on food right now.

It is a survival mechanism for our mind, body, and soul. It's hard to retrain your brain to go for the health choice when your brain is busy being worried and concerned for a loved one. Don't beat yourself up about the choices you made. Take it one day at a time with small achievements. Although I have been able to get my weight down, I still strive to stay strong and healthy and not fall back in old habits. My mom's stroke drove me to eating and exercising better. Will keep your family in my thoughts and prayers💗Liz Cockrumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03438865805520587479noreply@blogger.com
