Hi everyone not been able to post as family emergency

Hi everyone I haven't been able to post for a while as my 27 year old son has had an emotional physchosis and been very unwell. However having spent the last 4 weeks with him supporting him and the mental health professionals we seem to be doing ok now. I can't praise the mental health team enough it was a huge fight thro doctors to get him assessed by the crisis team but once I got there they have been brilliant.

I have used the happiness tools learnt on here everyday and thankfulness and mindfulness tools and have got thro with lots of tears and now more laughter! In the meantime I have stuck to the 12 week plan and have lost 6lbs in 4 weeks so I am feeling pretty good. I am swimming twice a week and dog walking which is therapeutic and just wanted to say to everyone that if you are determined no matter what life throws you can do this. I now have 10lbs to go and back into healthy weight range my jeans already feel more comfy and I am determined to go into the middle of my range by June . So keep going everyone it works and keep reminding yourself why you joined and what your goal is whether fitting in clothes or just being healthier.

Good luck everyone

😊

I'm so sorry to hear of the dreadful time that you and your son have had recently, Mrsjaffa but am heartened by your extremely positive post!

It just goes to show, that with the right mind set, we can conquer all mountains and eventually achieve our goals :)

Thanks so much for sharing and for being an inspiration to us all :)
