For those of you following my weight loss journey, you know I have been going through some stuff, including an exacerbation of PTSD last year, for which I am under treatment.

The heavy amounts of snow and thoughts of having to drive, or worse getting stranded, triggered severe anxiety attacks that lasted through the night, causing a rough night of sleep.
