    Allison you are stronger than me ...at least you are trying ...when I lost 4 people in a 3 month span (as you know) I was in a funk for awhile..I quit logging working out etc. just a suggestion maybe just eat at maintance and don't worry about logging your meals(might be adding more stress at this difficult time) you are welcome to stop by while your kids are in school if you want company...HUGSSSS

    My mother died in Sept and I still have bouts of crying. I think we need to grieve. Be kind to yourself and gentle too. I really got in to a lot of emotional eating and am still dealing with it. You are doing well. Do not beat yourself up for small mistakes. You will do this.

    @msfutureskinnyminnie Sorry that you're hurting, this is not surprising. It's a good sign that you are taking time to check in here and that you logged your food. Take care of yourself!

    My heart goes out to you for the loss of your mom. I can only imagine the difficult time your having. Stay the course, but go easy on yourself if you stumble.

    I hope you are doing OK. It's a holiday a something came up that reminded of my dear deceased Mom. It will be 10 years. I smile more often now with the memories than I did a few years ago.

    Hope you're doing ok today. I've been thinking of you.

    I wish I could say something that could help ease your pain and I'm sure I'd be a wreck too, if it was my mother, so I will only say I'm terribly sorry for your heartbreak. Take care of yourself and don't be afraid to lean on close friends and others at this time, if they offer it. It won't make you any less strong. I promise. Hugs.

    Best possible thing you could be doing, well done.

    Sometimes it's a professional we need, to give us a handle on how to cope, and it's the ideal solution.
    Be well, take care.

    I agree. Professional help would be a great way to let things out and see you through the grieving process.
