A big hello to everyone and an apology for not posting in ages, but i have had a really stressful few weeks with my son and even though i try and catch up with everyone's posts i really haven't felt like contributing. I have mentioned in past posts that i have a son with special needs ( he has aspergers) and even though life has always been challenging and difficult with him, this past month has been even more testing. Two weeks ago he was escorted home by the police after trying to throw himself off the flyover onto the road below and we have struggled with his emotions ever since (he is 16), i have also found this very difficult with trying to manage my band, and as i have found that, yes, my band does tighten with stress and i have had to resort a number of times to making myself sick, because food has got stuck, but hopefully i am now beginning to improve with this. On a good note though, i went to see my bariatric nurse last week and i am now only 10lb away from target which i am so chuffed about so i feel that even though i have these on going problems with my son, there is a light at the end of the tunnel with my weight. I will try and post more in future, but forgive me if i dont as obviously my son is very needy at the moment, but keep up the good work everyone, and
i will carry on keeping up to date with your posts. julie x
