My weight loss has slowed down dramatically but it was to be expected. My first child, Gavin Alexander was born on April 28, 2010. He passed away on Memorial Day of that year. He was revived but we had to make the heart wrenching decision to take him off of life support June 1st. At that point we were told he was a vegetable. June 3rd was his actual due date. Crazy to think my son was born and died before he was even due.This is a really hard time of year for me. Sometimes I indulge because like for so many food is a comfort thing. I am being more mindful today and every day forward. We all have our slip ups. I am learning to meditate or practice yoga during times of stress or grief instead of heading to the kitchen. It's hard to find the time being a single mom of a two and a half year old but I have been taking advantage of snack and nap time. I am not giving up no matter what this time. I know happiness doesn't revolve around weight but I am truly unhappy with the weight I am and can not wait until the day I am comfortable in my own skin again.

Blessings to you dear, so sorry for your loss.....sometimes when I'm stressed I take a walk, it seems to calm me...

Thank you. I do that too. When I am having a really bad day I pack my son up in his wagon and we walk. When I need to talk to someone (an adult) my mom joins us. The anniversary of his death we walked by the water and it was very peaceful.

This might sound weird, but I've heard of people putting a rubber band around their wrist and snapping it whenever they feel like they NEED food....takes their mind off of it....weird, but ya never know right?

Hey whatever works right? I have been doing a bottle of water before meal time so I start off half full. I didn't eat like crazy but ate some junk I shouldn't have. A rubber band or even a bracelet that you associate with your healthy eating is a great idea though. Thanks!
