    Still losing weight, down to 209 so I'm closing in on 1derland. Spent one day last weekend out at the barn riding with my wife. She snapped a photo and I shared it on Facebook, so many good comments from my friends. I still get a kick out of running into people and having them not recognize me. Happened twice last weekend

    @@AvaFern, you are being VERY hard on yourself.
    Take a minute for yourself. sleep for two days straight, find a hot tub, get a massage, eat at nice (healthy) hot meal at a restaurant that you didn't have to prepare, and practice some self-love.
    You, obviously, are very intelligent. This is a hugely stressful event and time, and everything you are feeling is warranted! I'm glad you've already stopped yourself after a mini binge from doing too much damage, further going down the shame spiral of overeating and beating yourself up. It will be okay!
    Rest, distract yourself with something nice, and think about your options in the light of day in a moment of calm. You've accomplished SO MUCH. I know when you are looking ahead to all the things that HAVE to be done, it's overwhelming.
    When you are up for it, take it in bites; see what needs to be done to retake the class, investigate options to maybe petition the school to change policy on working full-time? You're going to be a lawyer -- you know how to argue for what you want! They taught you! You CAN change things from within.
    Toss the food, and try to stop beating yourself up so much. If the worst thing that happens is you have to retake a class or repeat, God forbid, a semester -- in the grand scheme of your life and desired profession, it's a drop in the bucket! Think of how much time you lost being overweight, thinking you could never go to law school. In comparison, repeating a semester is NOT that bad. I know it throws off your graduation rotation, but there's summer school and winter classes, too, right?

    In the light of day, after some much-needed rest, look at your options. You are healthy, young enough to do what you want with your life, and killing it on all fronts. You may meet someone, if you want to, as well.

    You never know what the future holds! I met my husband at 38, was married 10 months later, and pregnant with our son within 5 months, and pregnant with our daughter under a year after that. By 41 I was married with two toddlers! I also changed careers after 22 years, had major surgery, and other major life events.

    I'm a Type A planner/worrier, and that will never change. But, having said that, as I get older, I really do appreciate that adage; we plan and God laughs.

    It will be okay. You know what to do. Don't kill yourself over one class. Sending you (((((hugs)))) galore. You got this!

    It has not shown any change in almost 4 weeks. . .they must be both broke. . . It cannot be me. . .
