I'm so sorry to hear about your daughter. I'm glad there has been some improvement. Thinking about you! 

I am so glad that the pain is better! And I'm so sorry that you are still dealing with so much stress and heartache. So much love to you all and especially you, Mama. This is so difficult and you are handling it with nothing but grace. 

Hey Melissa. Missed you. Was thinking about you last night. Not sure why this season of storms for so many I've talked to but we know God is faithful. Blessings to you and your family. You've been such a huge support for me and yet I feel kind helpless at attempting to return that.  

Is it just me or has there been an increase of spam lately. Ugh.  

What a sweet message, One point! I think that echoes what I am thinking, too. I don't want to say- I'm helpless except for prayer- because prayer is SO powerful- but I know what you mean. 

Life is important and your kids were top of mind. A modest gain is nothing in that context. You are back to your good habits and that really is all that matters on the weight front. On the life front your kids are doing well. That is the big win! 

Just a thought some cardio might help your stress. Sometimes a walk outside does. Wonders for the body and helps to settle the mind.  

kirstnjmh, thank you so much. It has been tough for sure, but a little better makes things ever so much more endurable. atriel2, you are so kind. I think sometimes this week I wanted to totally lose it... Run down the street screaming and not come back for hours, but my girl.... She is the one suffering. So, like all the mamas before me, I stay close and do whatever I can. #One, these kind words and prayer support are really the greatest blessing and they mean so much to me. Life isn't easy sometimes for sure. We just have to keep going and do the best we can! 😁  

Princess, there aren't even words to express all you have helped me with this week. I've been looking, and I can't find a smile emoji with tears. That is the one I need right now. 😔❤️  

Thank you, Carol! It really is habit at this point. I am so grateful I don't even want to endlessly eat as I might have before. It doesn't help anything. I mean I ate a darn lot of ice cream for a few days, but it was largely because I was not wanting to fix something to eat and... Well ice cream is the perfect food except for pizza... Which I did not have enough of! 😁 WFN, you are so right. I've been trying to go for a walk while waiting for my daughter when she is in for treatment appointments. And last night I finally got out for a run. It does help!!!  

It's good to see you back. I'm wishing you peace and happiness. ❤ 

It's been a season for stress. (((((hugs))))) Hope things improve for you. 

Thanks for the update. it is so hard to see your child go through things. I always wish it could be me. But you are so strong and I pray things will work out well for your daughter. I know what you mean about trips to urgent care and hospitals, when my twins were infants they had so many problems the doctors at our children's hospital said they felt like the girls pediatrician. I also agree that icecream is the perfect food.🙏😷🤗 

Lots of prayers for you and your family 🙏🙏. 

Hugs....Lots & lots of hugs ❤💕  

Thank you so much, my dear and kind people... Lonnie, kclab, carol, Petra, Jnuko, SherryeB... You all and all who support 💚 have lifted me up so much this week. I just posted a loss... Nearly back to "goal." trudging on! ♥️ 

Oh my, I have been off FS for a bit. I hope she is doing better, and WTG on getting back to tracking during such a tough time. 

I will continue to pray for your daughter, you and your family. I'm glad to hear the acupuncture is helping her a bit. I know as a mom and a grandma myself it hurts anytime your kids are hurting. You have been so sweet and supportive to others on FS and you deserve all the kindness around you. You are my kind of person for sure. Take care and I hope each day gets better for you and your family.
