    I'm sorry to hear about your son's health... Think about how you need to be healthy to help HIM get healthy. I know that would sure as hell motivate me.

    I mean more in the realm of being able to be THERE for him. If your weight and your health is suffering, you could get sick too, suffer from heart problems etc. You need to be the healthiest you can be so you can continue to be there for your kids.

    Children are extremely intuitive. You need to keep your self healthy and In check so he doesn't feel he needs to worry about his mom. He needs all his energy to be focused on himself. You may not be able to to anything to physically help him but a healthy and happy mom is one he can depend on. I wish you and your family all the best.

    I would stop worrying so much about weight loss and just try to eat healthily so that you stay as well as possible both physically and mentally. Look after your family and when life is more settled hopefully you'll be able to ramp up your exercise routine and lose the weight you'd like to lose. You need to try and keep life as simple as possible for now and focus on your little one.

    There are all kinds of people here on the boards, we'll try and support you. I bet there's other people here in the same situation.
    When you're stressed and having a hard time, taking some time to exercise or do some meal prep for the week might actually help you to relax. When I get stressed or upset or depressed, I go for a run or do a workout DVD and I feel a lot calmer afterwards.

    This!^^^^taking back control of things you can may help you feel less helpless and in turn give you the ability to fight on.
