Sorry I haven't been very active on here. Stress, and just life right now has me overwhelmed.

I don't think any sane person would judge you for having your hands full. Take whatever time and rest you can get.

Thanks<3 it's appreciated.

Things are looking better x3 I am getting free time again xD lol

I slipped away for a while from heat stress and court stress. I'm convinced by this point that the only way I'm getting full custody is if they turn 18 and move in with me when the the judge can't send them back to their abusive sperm donor.

I'm so sorry to hear that :(

Stumbled upon this thread just now. It’s a lovely idea! Think it’ll help ppl a lot.
Is there anything that’s off-topic?

Yesterday was really difficult. I had an anxiety attack which I don’t really have nowadays, it’s been years since the last one. I freaked out because of how my skin has become all oily and zits being back etc, and I know it’s because I’ve been eating the “worst” stuff like chocolate and candy and crisps in large amounts the last week (almost two). I worked so so hard to look good which I did before then. But the thing is, I’m over seeing my family for the summer and I can’t just stop eating here or restrict too much because I don’t want fights and my ED ruining everything. I don’t see them often so I want the time spent with them to be happy.

I’m gonna try cutting down on the chocolate etc but it’s like I’ve gone into a binge cycle. In a way I wish I wasn’t here at all so that I could just go back to restricting and clearing my skin up and lose some weight because I’m convinced I’ve gained since coming here. But at the same time I wouldn’t trade family time for anything in the world.

Everything should be fair game.

Is there a gym, public park, or any place good to walk or exercise nearby? Body reactions vary by person, but the core weight loss formula is "calories out exceed calories in", so maybe a pleasant walk outside would be enough to maintain until you can go home and back to your normal routine?
