Sooooo... Now she's been admitted to a behavioral Health Center by order of the magistrate and
there's nothing I can do to get the psychiatrist to call me so that I can get them to understand that
my daughter's case is more physical than mental.
I'm hanging in there, but my concern isn't about me... I'm fine... I'm still remembering the tasks at
hand. I'm still putting forth effort daily.
😇😇😇😇😇😇😇
Keep Keeping On Ladies! You're all doing an awesome job on here and in your homes! I'm proud to call you
Sisters! Love you💝🌹
Oh Mary ... I am so very sorry. This has to be so very hard. I have a daughter with mental issues ... but I also understand how frustrating it is when the doctors will not talk to us because of Hippa laws. Especially in your case where it is more physical than mental ... nothing worse than to be treated for something other than the main root of the problem. Prayers for you dear friend. If you ever need to talk .... we are here for you. I remember when they put my daughter in the hospital ... and they would not let me get her out. They said they would get a court order to keep her there .... why the doctors think they know more than a mother. UGG!! Don't get me started there! But you are there for your daughter ... and right now ... that is all you can do. I am happy your husband is being better to you and communicating more. Love you .... and again ... please write anytime. You are such a important person to all of us.3 -
Not the best day for me yesterday. I can do great for 2-3 days, then just fall apart. Even though it was all healthy foods, its still calories. Got into peanuts again.
SO, new day today
1. log my food.
2. concentrate on water
3. go to the gym ... already did this,but a short workout, as very tired
4. get out ... even if just to go to walmart.
5. work on pc boards ... we are so far behind work-wise

Hello! I'm back.
The DH had a good day yesterday but woke up really sad this morning. So I spent a while just holding him and telling him I love him. I have no experience with death. Like none. I lost all 4 of my grandparents before I was 11. And the closest person that that has ever died between friends and family was an Uncle who lived 6 states away. So I have no idea how to help him through this. I've just been holding him and trying to make him smile and laugh. I just listen when he talks about her and his history with her. I know it will take a while but I know that he will get through this. It's just something that I don't know about.
Okay! So onto goals!

@HEGoddard0928 , you're doing exactly the right thing. All you can do is be there, listen when he wants to talk, and don't push him when he doesn't. Sounds like you are doing well.2

Sunday 27 January
Another indulgent day enjoying the views from my window on Skye and good food. I'm still OK about being a piggy and gaining. All changes on Wednesday when I go back south and return to work and start the task of getting back to my maintenance weight!
Reading about the challenges some of you are facing is humbling and I applaud your tenacity.1 -
Just found this thread and really need some motivation to reach my goals! I'm aiming to lose 8-10kg after giving birth to my daughter nearly 6 months ago. I'm Still not at my pre-pregnancy weight, where prior to getting pregnant I was going to the gym 4-5 times a week and eating far less junk than I seem to be doing now. Not only do I have little time to work out, but it seems having a baby means countless meet ups with other new mums at coffee shops which inevitability means cake 😏🙄. I'm trying to get better at keeping the snacking at bay but the thing I miss the most is a hard workout session. Anyone have any tips on how to fit this in when you have a baby who is a terrible napper during the day? It would be great to connect with other mums who managed to achieve their goals!
So anyway, goals for tomorrow are:
1. No snacking
2. Drink at least 2l of water
3. Log my food for the day
TIA3 -
@HEGoddard0928 - being there is all you can do. I learned that you can’t force the grieving process, it lasts as long as it lasts and until someone else has been through it they won’t understand it. I can’t speak to Matt’s mind or thoughts but I know from my experience when my Dad was sick that there was a lot of anger and guilt in the years following his death.
My Dad was wasting away to nothing and was in so much pain. We couldn’t even hold his hand because it caused him so much pain. I prayed for God to take him, I told the nurses to give him more morphine. I did anything I could think of to make his suffering end. I have felt guilty and then angry at myself ever since. My Dad passed in 2012, i still feel guilt when I think about it. Have patience when Matt is angry at times it might be self directed.
Another thing that really bothered me was no one talked about my Dad. It was like I came back to Alberta after the funeral and Dad no longer existed for anyone. When I finally blew up about it to my family (about a year later) I found out they were taking cues from me, they were scared to bring him up and upset me and I hadn’t brought him up because I thought they were tired of hearing it. So talk keep communication open. I don’t know how much she changed physically in the last while, those are hard images to get out of your head. Find favourite photos from years gone by and look at them if that’s what Matt wants down the road. It’s going to be rough but you’ll get through it together.

I feel for those with tough times at present. I just lost my dad on Friday. He slipped away and God took care of him and me, amazing His strength to help me bear it. I pray for all of you in your tough times. Keep trusting and keep taking those small steps. Especially @maryrobinson40 and HEGoddard.
Keep logging and being mindful of what eating.
🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️

Hello, I’m new to the forums. Long story short, I was an obese baby, toddler, teen and adult. At 42, in 2010 I got serious and over 8 years lost 77 pounds. I’ve put on about 5 pounds since thanksgiving and feel like poo because of a very poor diet. I had given up all foods I couldn’t control, except one which I’ll get to. Things like bread, pasta, potatoes, crackers, cereal, processed junk I’ve reduced to occasionally. I’ve been doing great since reaching my goal weight of 120 until this past holiday season. It’s the sugar that does me in. And then that leads to the bread, pasta etc... I’m so addicted physically and psychologically, I’m having trouble stopping. I want to commit to quitting all sugar but I honestly don’t feel I can, yet. I have always been fine with a small amount each day but only in the form of my iced coffee. That doesn’t make me binge. I’ve tried allowing a cheat day but I still end up out of control and then I struggle with the craving for days. I need support and that’s why I’m here. I can commit to only having my sweetened iced coffee for tomorrow but beyond that time will tell. So I guess I will be back in the morning to post my commitment for one day at a time.2

We are so happy to see you back, but I am so very sorry to hear of the loss of your MIL. I will say a prayer for you and your DH. As for dealing with death, unfortunately, I have seen more death than I want to. It is hard ... it is hard to know what to say, because nothing can help to ease the pain and emptyness. All you can do is be there for you DH... hold him in your arms like you are doing, and just comfort him. He will go through the many stages of grief, and that is normal. So the only way you can help him.... is just be there. Prayers and hugs to you.1 -

But you will find the most helpful people on this thread ... so come back ... no matter what your day has been like.2 -

So as some of you know I had a tough day Saturday but managed to resist emotional eating - yay! Yesterday was tricky again. I barely slept Saturday night and it was just a very long and frustrating day. I’d planned to go for a run and was excited to be able to run in daylight for a change! But wet, windy, stormy weather put the dampeners on that plan! Went to hot yoga instead in the am but by lunchtime I was just bored and snacky and my healthy planned foods weren’t going to cut it! Put a stop to it early though so overall not a disaster.
Sunday goals recap
- morning run ❎ there was windy rainstorm at the point I was going to go out. So I booked in for a hot yoga class instead. Still exercise and I walked there and back so ✅
- Obs lesson plan ✅ ✅and did some extra work too so a double tick
- Bf place to hang out??? ❎ decided against this. Not to be petty but because I didn’t think I’d relax in the couple of hours I’d have to spare
- Check girls have done homework, pack bags etc ✅
- Re-read 2019 goals - stay mindful. Follow yesterday’s win with another good day to close out the weekend with positivity ❎ I read them, but I didn’t adhere to them completely.
