Looking for 40s motivation

Disabilities and weight loss
I am new. I have a rare disease that is quite painful. Some days it hurts too much to eat and other days I eat way too much (usually when I feel sorry for myself because I am sick). I recently had a 8 week flareup during which I lost 14 pounds. I was happy to see the loss, but now I am worried that it may have screwed up…

I'm here to lose 3-4 stones AGAIN!
