Oh, gosh. I know this journey all too well-- a lifetime of it, starting around age 10. :(
I had a pretty good stretch for about 8 years until having my first child, and almost had it licked again after my second child when they took my diet pills off the market.
The pills that pushed away that relentless hunger. :(
So many decades of yo-yoing, when I think I've finally on the right track for _good_, and then stress or sugar-laden holidays undoes it. I know the whole process, the exhaustion of it, the shame at 'falling off the wagon.'
And yet... with a family battling weight problems, you know how it happens, and with a diabetic father you know why you have to try. :(
But not having cake to celebrate at a time when you're expected to be there... it would sure, help, wouldn't it? But this is the box family forces you into again and again. :(
