same here. think i never weighted this much. … 
eating more fruits is definitely an option to help the body replenish all the hormones in the body with healthy sugars. but mostly those are not the ones I crave aswell
hey! how are you today?
Hey guys. Still not great. I’m going to try again today, day 1. I haven’t been getting totally wasted, just taking the edge off. But I’m slipping back into mindless munching while I have a drink and that’s what made me fat in the first place. I’ve got a lot of negative self talk floating around in my head. Woke up crying this morning because I’m so stressed from everything. I love my children but right now I cannot take much of them.
This is one break I can get, just long enough to shower before my husband goes to sleep for the day. And facing the reality that our current situation may last till the end of the school year is not something I want to accept. So, grim, although we are all still healthy. So at least we have that going for us.
Thank you for your honest around this - I think this is proving to be a difficult time for many of us. But can only imagine how things are with little ones at home… My husband went to the liquor store yesterday and brought home some beer, which is all I needed to have a few. I haven’t been getting super drunk but have definitely gone back to using it as a crutch to relax. I need to get back on the bus, but also struggle with how right now - everything is so crazy right now… We gotta keep our chins up and do the best we can. My plan is to keep trying.
I found this link for free courses on Scholastic’s website - they are a major company that publishes educational books (known in North America anyway).
Take care!

@Journey1 thanks for the resources! The kids school is sending us more than enough work for the kids but learn iij ng all the new technology is trying my brain. I have about a dozen new usernames and passcodes to remember.
@SoulSearcher thank you for sharing so honestly ladies. these desperate times can only ask for one day at the time on every level. no one can tell when or how this will end. for lots of us first time in our live to be in such a controlles situation. I find myself so strugling with diagnosis and life changes that I seem out of order. imposible to form a thought or make a decision. and stuff is piling up untile some decisions have to be made. today you are safe I hope. that is all you can focus on right now. (and maybe zone out the screaming kids 
) take care

Thanks for sharing i understand its all very difficult at the moment and i find the world situation hard to manage. I only have my bf two kids every 14th day, so we have them this weekend and i look forward to not feel lonely and depressed. So i will be doing homework with them and try to keep them busy doing the weekend, but i hope it will be a lovely time 
I wish you all the best and hope the situation soon eases a bit for you guys. Keep your head up high and dust these hard times of your shoulders - you can do this.

I’ve been reassigned to media monitoring for my organization so it’s been nuts!!
I haven’t stopped drinking again. I feel like a bad influence so I haven’t been checking in. It’s SO stinking hard. We built a small playground today to try and help out the kiddos. But it is still SO freaking hard. I have ZERO alone time

Hi everyone, so sorry I wasn’t there. Things are crazy over here because of Corona, and I constantly get texts and phone calls. It’s like a media overload for me, so I got tired of any extra reading and writing.
But from today, day one again btw, I will be more present.
So sorry that you all got such hard times. I guess Corona makes it harder to stay focused. I’ll check on you later, I promise!

Did you built that??? Wow! Kids must be happy with that effort to keep them busy and happy. Loves, also @Marisim. The only requirement to be Here is the desire to be sober! I struggle and fuck up as well if not alcohol my crazy mind tries to shut up by sugar binging and purging.
