Stress eating, detoxing, and a trip to Louisiana
I just want to say I am so sorry you're going through this. I will keep you and your mom in my thoughts and prayers. Life always seems to want to throw us curveballs and we just have to do our best. Take care of you in this. I know it is easy to stress eat especially during trying times like these. If you're going to be running around and busy a lot, maybe make sure you have some emergency snacks with you just in case. Something like a protein bar or what have you.
Don't beat yourself up if you slip. I slip here and there (last night I ate a bag of chips ugh). It happens and you know how to get back on track. Sending you cyber hugs...
band to sleeve revision and loving life!
You do you, and I'll do me
So sorry you have all of this going on. You are so strong, once you get your plan I know you will handle it with grace and strength. Hugs and prayers to you and your family.

MuttLover did indeed reply beautifully and in fine detail to your post. I wanted to emphasize her point #4, i.e. with everything else you have going on, don't stress yourself about thinking you have to hold your family together. What will be, will be. There are higher priorities, and you can't control people and what they will or will not do.
Hang in there, and please take care of yourself as well as possible.
