I am not dealing with weight loss at this moment. Taking a break and see what happens in the new year. Having daily stress regarding of my mentally ill brother that refuse treatment. Its an ongoing stress on eating and smoking to cope and keep myself,mom and sister safe and stable.
I will lurk, but no posting. Till my stress level is stable.
Everyone have a nice holiday and hoping in 2016 my household calms down. Till the new year. Take care.

Family can be difficult sometimes.
Lillian, I'm so sorry to hear about the stress you and your family are under right now. It takes a toll on our emotions...and our bodies. Not for weightloss but simply for your health maybe try to eat one really healthy meal each day? And maybe a couple cups of a calming tea instead of a couple cigarettes? Trust me, I know how easy it is to reach for a handful of chips or cookies or reach for a cigarette when the stress level ratchets up.
I know emotionally you may well feel completely drained. Probably physically drained as well. It's important now to take care of yourself so that you have the physical strength and clarity to take care of the things you need to. Don't worry about the weightloss - just take care of your health.
Sending best wishes that the stressful situation is able to be resolved soon and you and your family can get back to a point of stability.
