My dad passed away when I was only 13. I felt exactly how you describe feeling. I ate for comfort, and now I am extremely overweight. You just need to think that he is in a better, happier place and that he is guiding you through your weight loss journey. Don't give up.

My weight loss is going alright, thanks for asking! It's sometimes really slow and I've found out it's almost easier to maitain my weight than lose it. Which will be great when I get to my goal weight but I exercise 4 or 5 times a week. I'm doing Weight Watchers, which I really like because it really teaches me that I can eat things I like, but control my portions and still eat food that's good for me. I've lost 20 pounds since the beginning of the year and still got some more to go! I struggle sometimes but I just forgive myself and move on so I can become better. How's it going for you Jessica? I see that you've lost 5 pounds, good for you! It's no easy thing to do! Good luck! If you need any tips or support let us all know :)
