My youngest son started offering suggestions - this week he is my favorite lol -- and he actually helped. There was a lighter feeling in the house when I got up today. I'm hoping as I get some control in that area, maybe I will be able to better control what I eat and how I eat. I know it is encouraging to hear all the positives and how well everyone is doing (and I am encouraged), but for me, it feels so lonely and isolated when I'm not doing well. Thank you for sharing. Mother's Day just crept up on me. Seems now all I can think about is ice-cream cake from DQ. lol It won't happen, but if I had my car, I might be tempted to get one, but I won't walk several miles for it. lol Hang in there - we are truly in this together. Excellent that you are still getting in the exercise. You are still burning calories and the more muscle you build, the more fat you burn. Keep it up. You are doing better than you think. :-) Big Hugs to you.
