Mentally Ill Mom

Welcome

MFP is a wonderful tool for managing our diet & health. We can often find supportive friends that share our circumstances & goals. By committing to a simple, modest calorie deficit (by plugging your stats into MFP and choosing a weight loss goal of 1 lb/week) instead of trying to change one's entire diet & lifestyle overnight, people in all sorts of challenging circumstances can achieve success with their weight loss & health goals. That being said, you have an awful lot on your plate and I hope you are utilizing all the resources available to you in dealing with it. I'm not adding new friends myself, but want to give your thread a bump in the hopes you might find others with similar challenges. You might also want to conduct a search in the forums for some of the specific issues you mentioned and you may be able to find others in a similar situation. I've done that before with specific health issues and had good success. Wish you the best

I am in a similar place only older and unsure of wisdom. I pray for you also. I pray for all of us on this journey

Bipolar 1 here. No praying from me. You can do this.
