in Introduce Yourself
My name is Clairissa and the last few months have been really rough....was pregnant with our third child and was put on strict bed rest(as in I couldn't get out of bed for anything....not even to go to the bathroom) it lasted for less then a week when I went into labor. Our daughter ended up passing away shortly after birth and I also almost lost my life
My way of coping for weeks was not leaving bed (partly because of the c-section and low blood levels)
and eating everything in site
Well now I'm paying the consequences for that....being the heaviest I have ever been in my entire life.
I am now dedicated to loosing this weight and pulling my life back together. Being that my husband does not want anything to do with working out or eating healthy I really need some motivational people in my life.....

    Hi, My name is Shareen and welcome to MFP.

    First of all, I'd like to say sorry for your loss and hope that you are on the road to recovery.
    I haven't had the experience of losing a child before but past experiences of helping one of my closest family members through this heartbreaking ordeal makes it easier for me to know what you went through and how it feels. Going through it with her made me realise that it is not easy to get over.

    Secondly, I would like to commend you for wanting to lose the weight and to pull your life back together again.
    I would also love to support and motivate you in your weight loss journey.

    Have sent you a friend request so feel free to add me x

    Hi there and welcome!! I'm also sorry to hear about your loss, but am glad to hear you are continuing your road to recovery by being here. I don't know if you ever cook for your husband, but there are tons of yummy meals out there that are low in calories and he'll never know the difference! Glad to see you on here and good luck!

    I have to say that you simply are inspiring just by choosing to move forward from that experience positively. I'm a mother as well and I couldn't imagine what you're going through. My heart is with you!! I hope that you achieve your goals to get back to a healthy place physically, but also to a peaceful place emotionally.
