Hello everyone! I am returning to 3FC after being gone for a couple of years. I was a member before, lost about 80 pounds and then life happened and I gained almost all of it back again. I'm trying not to be too discouraged in myself, but sometimes it isn't easy. The last couple of years have been rough for my family and apparently I am more of a stress eater than I thought I was! For years, I have had been dealing with a son that has a substance abuse disorder, but in the last couple of years two of my other children fell ill. My 20 year old son was diagnosed with cancer and my 13 year old daughter has a very rare childhood form of autoimmune vasculitis that causes arthritis type symptoms and kidney failure (and she broke her ankle). Needless to say, we have spent a small fortune and countless hours at treatment facilities. They're all still struggling, but I finally figured out that my not being healthy doesn't help them at all. So I decided I need to get back in the saddle. So, here I am.
