I hate it when life gets in the way, and gangs up on you. It seems that everything I get near a major health goal i happens as well. Focus on the limits of what you can control and try to release the rest (at least for now). Just remember, somebody else has already gone through what you are, and has survived. So will you.

This is a Trial & Test and I would say just pray and focus on how much you have accomplished 100+lbs and where you came from. Give yourself some "you" time and everything else will work itself out in time! :)

thank you!

Jenn,

You've lost an amazing 102 pounds! That is alone a HUGE accomplishment, one you should be super proud of! This journey has not be easy on any of us, we still have to struggle and find our own way and paths to success. Yes, life gives us obstacles and hurdles, but in order to boucne back up, we must jump over/around them.

You are going to get over this hurdle! We are all here rooting for ya!!

(hugs)

I'm so sorry you are having a rough time. I have son with autism too, so I can relate there...You have done such a fantastic job, over 100 lbs, so awesome! Hang in there and big hugs...

i wasnt sure if id find anyone else on here with a child with autism obviously there are so many people on here from all walks of life nice to know there is at least one other person on here to relate! how old is your son? mines is 7 and the last few years esp in school have been rough! he has a really great school and support system but its just trying to figure the days out with him some are alot rougher then others and lately there have been alot of rough ones! im not sure where on the spectrum your son is or what things are triggers or anything.. maybe that would be a private convo but if you have advice on anything im open to suggestions!

Life will always get in our way but now is the true test to not let food be you stress relief. I understand how much you have on your plate but we have to learn to not let life cause us to love food again.
