More to Lose......Friday, April 28

Hi everyone - I hate for this thread to end, even though there hasn't been a lot of activity lately, so I'm going to continue it today even though I'm not logging my food at this time. It has been so helpful to me. On Monday I am going to recommit. My sciatica is better, so I am going back to exercising and I am going back to my basics of high protein, low carb. I've been having some personal stuff going on - my mother is suffering from dementia and my poor dad is struggling to cope with her. I'm trying to be as supportive as possible, but I'm also a single mom with two sons (20 and 18) who give me a run for my money. They are not bad kids, but they are doing what a lot of kids are doing these days; drinking, partying, etc. and of course, that's very worrying. I remember being a young adult and doing the same thing, so I just pray that they turn out ok. I'm also having financial problems, so sometimes it seems like all I do is worry. The old standby of using food as comfort is always there. I have to really fight against it. I've been doing OK, but I haven't been 100%. I haven't weighed myself in the past week, but my clothes don't feel any tighter. I just know I feel better about things when I eat sensibly and exercise ~ at least that's something I CAN control. Well, enough of my rambling. I'm going to make sure this train continues, even if I'm the only passenger for awhile! I know there have been others that have continued it when I've been absent, so let's not let this end!! Love ya all!! Hugs, Nancy
