Wow very stressful. there is also a nagging voice in my head going 'is this the right time?' I tried to do LL about 2 years ago, but that is when Peter got really bad and ended up in end stage/couple of weeks to live, before his open heart surgery which saved him. obviously during that time dieting was the last thing on my mind. Now he is stable, i really need to do this, as my weight is very unhealthy, and as Peters life expectancy after transplant wont be as high as a normal persons (by todays stats he should reach his 50's, he is 27 now, but medical advances means he could live longer) I need to do soemthing NOW so I know I have given myself and my family the best chance of having at least one parent around for longer.
It can get very stressful as he needs 24hour care, but we do have a team of carers, but during the day between school runs he mainly sleeps, and i used to snack a lot. I have put on about a stone since he came home from hospital last year.
I will keep spurring you on, to do this to have kids is amazing, and I hope you reach your goal quickly.
