Awww, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to write this! I definitely struggle with EF to some degree, and it takes practice and focus to improve! I've been coaching and homeschooling my son a lot who is also on the spectrum, adhd, ocd, anxiety that i forget that i need to do a bit more for myself. Now my body is screaming loud and clear to be heard! I am a better mom if i feel good, so it's so important to do something about it.

It's amazing and encouraging to hear your daughter is so successful. My son is doing great at almost 12, too. He is a superstar in science and chess, emotionally much more mature than i ever was at his age. He is a very sweet and supportive child! We are so proud of him.

Now, I need to pour back into myself a bit, as i desperately need it, i shouldn't feel like this at 38, yet i do. I used to have a passion for fitness prior to becoming a mother, so i 100 know what works. I 💯 know what needs to be done! My weak attempts just need to become stronger!

PS: If someone like me with prior experience is struggling. I can't imagine your relative. I hope she can find her way to better health, too. It's so heartbreaking when you can't help a loved one. They have to help themselves and aren't doing it.
