Hi all. This isn't my first post here...I embarked on what I thought was my final weight loss journey a couple of years ago, lost 20 lbs, gained it all back through some stuff that happened in life that caused me to fall off the wagon. I started again after getting engaged and realizing that I don't want to be this heavy for my wedding next June or for the kids that may come after that. It was pretty easy after I got past the OMG I'M STARVING I NEED TO EAT EVERYTHING couple of days that happen when you cut back calories suddenly.
Here's the "life turned upside down" part. My fiancé has been struggling with an unknown health condition for the past 2 years. We've seen every type of doctor under the sun and the best they could come up with was Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia. We were sent to Cleveland Clinic about a week ago to a neuromuscular specialist to make sure that nothing else was going on, which we thought was just a routine appointment. After the physical exam, the doctor hit us with some very hard, unexpected news: he may have ALS (he was tentatively diagnosed with an upper motor neuron syndrome but needs more testing to figure out which one it is). We are so young and hearing those words just tore my life apart. We are trying to be positive but it's hard right now. We should know more next week after some additional testing.
I just want to hear from some others who have succeeded in their journey through some hard life events. I think I'd be struggling less if I was sick instead of him. There are days when I don't want to eat anything and other days where I want to eat everything under the sun. I have no motivation to cook or do anything really. I'm struggling to even maintain a regular work schedule. Ugh. Just tell me everything will be okay :(
