I think I have too much on my plate!!!! I have been working on getting this sleeve for over a year. In the mean time I applied for a MSW program and to my surprise I got in.... now I’m like holy **** I’m getting the sleeve starting a Masters program and not to mention I have a family a 15 year old, 11 year old and 1 year old... I have to do this there is no putting anything on hold I have waited what seems like for ever for both opportunities... can anyone relate???

Yes, I can relate. I had a lot on my plate when I got my DS--I was also in graduate school, but honestly you'll be so happy when you start seeing the changes. It's doable. I also have two of my kids still living at home (not a one year old though. That would be hard). Keep moving forward with your eye on the ball: your health. Prioritize your to-do list, and plan your meals on the weekend. The first few months are the hardest. It gets easier.

Thank you so much@Strivingforbetter it feels better knowing that I’m not alone [emoji846]

You have this - breath. If you can handle and infant and teenager graduate school will be fine and the sleeve will be just part of a larger transformation. Sometimes structure makes change a little easier you are spot on there is never a good time - The time is now. [emoji38]

I can relate.. I work full-time, working on my Degree, i have 4 Boy’s(12y, 5y, 2y, &1y) I feel so overwhelmed at times. Especially if I can’t get everything done. The laundry sometimes sits for a few days and some night I make a quick dinner for my family. I just feel like I’m all over the place. So I totally can relate to what your feeling. I’m taking it day by day and keeping my eyes on the prize! Sexy by summer 2018!! [emoji322]
