sorry for all the stress you are under, hopefully living with your dad and saving will help having an extra hand on occasion with the children can't be all bad! 

@bask luckily my dad and mama have always been close by and have given us a hand with the kiddos! I am really hoping being out of my place will help me mentally... there were loud violent drug using felons in the back unit, we were on a crazy busy road, so we had to drive somewhere to take a relaxing walk, which kind of defeated the purpose for me. I am really excited to be back in my childhood neighborhood and can take evening strolls with my fam!! Having a smaller fridge (since we are sharing it) means I have to be pickier with what I am stocking it with, meaning more veggies and fruit and less snacky junk foods! 👍 Also health wise I think it was a long over due move. While cleaning the girls room, I removed the adorable brick wall paper and accidentally peeled off paint... there was mold!!! I think the worst kind too! 😡🤢 So good riddance to that place and hello new healthier opportunities!! 

Let’s get to it missy!!! 😁 

I’ve been missing the FS community and all the support and stories and motivation! I am glad that I went a whole year of eating like crap and only gained back half the weight I lost. I lost it really quickly with keto, about 30lbs in 3 months. So now I’m hoping I can lose 30 quickly again 😉🤪 

that is great to improve your situation, mold is truly a bad thing.  

Hi Mamamc, I was absent for a while too but it`s a time to get back on track. I`m going to Thailand next month so need to look good. Sorry to hear about the fire and moving places but who knows, maybe it`s a new beginning of something better. I wish you all the best!!! 

@mal321 luckily the fires aren’t dangerously close to us this year!! But we can see fire in the distance... and the air quality 🤢 Enjoy Thailand! Sounds amazing! I am also so happy to see so many familiar screen names and pics still here! I can’t believe I have been gone for so long! But all last week I was feeling extra low and decided I had to get back to it. My self confidence was at an all time low and I know when I eat right my body feels better, my mind is clearer and in a better place. Self discipline and motivation are what I need!!! 

@nthompson I am trying!!! New phone, new goals, new house, new hobbies... sooo I am hoping things start to go in the right direction for me!! 

@baskington I basically had a meltdown tantrum after seeing the mold. I’m so over it!! And I know someone the landlord will say it’s our fault 🤦‍♀️😡 But trying to stay positive and also if we end up losing out on our $2000 deposit whatever... at least we are out of the dump! 

Oops some how not someone*** it’s too early for me!! 

@draglist thank you! Feels good to be back! Because I am logging my food and behaving I have already had to use some self control and not eat lots of things I usually would have in a hurry. I went to grab a snack while packing and almost ate some junk out of habit!!! 😱 Luckily I tossed it back into the fridge and grabbed a cheese stick!!  

God bless you, your family & all your neighbors. Welcome back.
