how are you doing, hope you are doing great and staying warm and safe... 

Yes, saranchrisriley, warm and safe, but struggling in almost all other areas. As a result of not doing my PT exercises or walking, my knees are hurting every day again. As a result of my diet being thrown out the window, I’ve gained over 10 pounds since Thanksgiving. I’m VERY dangerously close to getting back in the 190’s. Lots of stress in my life right now. Maybe getting that under control will help in all the other areas. 

Yes Debbie I know you love your family unconditionally and more than anything but if you are too the point of ot affecting your mental health and that's not good as it affects our physical health that's how I went from 270 to 374 not being able to walk due to a torn meniscus and depression hit me I gained all that weight and my arms swelled up so bad my doctor couldn't even draw blood because they couldn't get a vein from the swelling and water I gain 100lbs in 4to 6 mo not good then I lost 👇 from 374 345 and then lost from 345 to 315 cause was in jail for a while but after jail I then I moved in with my mother in law and gained all the way back to 374 again due to depression even worse than the first time I battled it and this time still have depression but am eating lower carbs and calories than I did before and cut out my pop or soda I call it pop I'm hillbilly lol... I pray that you can get something to help you with your mental health so it doesn't cause you physical problems like mine did me...and I'm praying for your grandson to calm down and not be so hard on you...
