So, I will be one year out on August 12th. I have lost 88lbs and that is all!! I was doing sooo good. I have had some major life changes over the past year and some of them pretty huge, but I felt like I was still pushing forward. I lost my mom in November, two weeks later my daughter told me her family (my son in law and grandbaby, not even a year yet) were moving 9 hours away from me, and I graduated with my first college degree in May, all while taking care of my family (2 boys still at home and my husband). To say I have been stressed is an understatement and my doctor (GP) told me that stress and sleeping issues can have a big impact on weight loss and to be happy I am not gaining.

I wanted to be at 100 lost by my 1 year anniversary, but that will not happen and I am slowly accepting that.

I think that I have been so discouraged that I have been a bit more snacky and I am wondering what you all have done to help get back on track? Where do I start so to speak? I need some kind of intervention.....something!!

Any advice is welcome and appreciated!!!

I can relate. I'll be 1 year on Aug 25th and I thought for sure I would have lost significantly more (86 since surgery, 103 if u include preop). But like you I have had huge stressors (mom I take care of has terminal cancer, dealing with my own illness CVID, etc..). I constantly feel guilty that i havnt lost more. But we need to be proud of what we HAVE lost and remember that it's not a race. We will get there eventually.

For me this site is a huge motivation. I also started making non food rewards.
