A new year a new start

Options
Hi I'm Debbi ,62 Married 42 yrs with 4 sons and 2 grandsons with #3 due in March. I was doing really well last year until our oldest son (Bobby-37yrs) who has Mental Retardation had a Psychotic Break. I am a stress eater and need to break this habit and remember to take care of me to have the strength to support Bobby as he heals. He is in an acute care facility 1 hour from our home and I can visit often. We have hope finally that he will improve with the wonderful staff he has.
I have a Fitbit tracker and have increased my steps with the new Challenges you can join.

Glad to be part of this group :)

    You are in right the place and I'm so sorry to hear about your oldest son. Realize walking is a good stress reliever and the fitbit will keep you motivated. Instead stress eating go for a little walk, you'll feel better :)
