Let’s support each other

Hello my name is Shelly ; 36F from Lafayette, Louisiana. I’m looking to make a life style change . I need to keep busy and focused. In March it will make 1 year my 15 year old son passed away . I have put on 50lbs since then and I need to get my life back on some kind of track because I also have a 14 and 13 year old that depend on me ! Prayers are appreciated and friendship is extremely welcome ! I’m also a store manager at GNC . So I’m trying my best to move forward . For one day I will see my baby again for now I gotta stick around for my other 2 …. They need me ! Working out helps relieve the anxiety and hurt . I just gotta keep motivated

    So sorry for your loss. I, like you, am in stasis with the same issues. My four sons, all except the oldest passed. I am here to support you too!
